I met this Norwegian bird in the bar who was ****ing awesome. I think she's my soulmate. I will marry her.

Would love to do something like this with a driving cab

Yeah I've lost hope with the touring car cab I bought.
Board is borked and a new one is mad money and hard to come by.
I really wanted a dedicated Sega racer cab but maming it seems the cheaper and sensible option now.

It's great that the new model 2 emulator supports force feed back as it wouldn't be the same having a driving cab with out it.

My FFB motor has gone as well though so I need a different option.
I'm convinced the f**cker that sold it to me switched all parts before I arrived as 1 day before pickup I played it with force feedback all guns blazing.
Brought it home without testing and the PSU was blown, FFB motor gone and board f**cked!!!!!

It's next on my project list and should be great fun, I will need the help of a soldering iron jockey on this forum as I am cack handed at soldering and would have to buy six logitech steering wheels if I took my hands to it.
As FFB motor is done for(unless its just the small board that controls it that is nackered) I'll need to go down this route.

Interesting article about the price of consoles, adjusted for inflation: http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2013/06/are-the-ps4-and-xbox-one-really-that-expensive-historically/

Impossible. For that will only happen if he ever catches her playing The Legend of Dragoon.

I played it in front of him at one of Dinrex's beers, lost my patience with it during the first battle. I think it was the time I started Obscure

No sign of Atavan today, probably at home, wearing the cone of shame...

Nerdkiller1991

Naaa. Probably chasing squirrels again so he can have their nuts.

I actually think it looked quite cool, in retro way. Like a futuristic phone from a 60s sci-fi movie:


Well, that's not really it, they reskinned it as Super Video Arcade at some point.

Intellivision, meh, preferred the digital awesomeness that was/is Colecovision!

Some one needs to turn up to a boards beers and I need to bring the CDi again.

It's the videogame version of the BBC documentary The Nazi's: A Warning from History.

At least Zyklon B doesn't start pouring from your television set when you watch that documentary, can't quite say the same about the CDi

I did kind of like Burncycle though...

I say we make him play the CDi and live on diet of fanboy chat on the PlayStation forum, he'll come back begging forgiveness!

The difference is the 3DO can handle whatever hell throws at it, the CD-i on the other hand...shits its load at the front door
