Unboxers are the worst
No, the worst is the guys giving some tutorial or informative video about something and they are speaking in some super silent whisper mode (as if the don't want to wake their parents or something) and you have to crank the volume up to 11 to hear them.
And then of course afterwards you forget the volume is up mega high and play some music/game/video and scare the crap out of yourself

Unboxers are the worst
I'll give you that. In close second, I'd put the experience of enjoying a particular reviewer's series 'til the time they make a somewhat well-received cutaway/reference/one-liner, and then, he/she decide it ample time to act out their long-repressed ambitions of hosting a viral variety-show, with an ever decreasing ratio of what was appealing about their product in the first place.
There are exceptions and all that, but Jesus, I can't recall how many decent web-shows I've seen derailed in such a manner.The Last Bandit wrote: »I really really don't get the fascination with unboxing at all....
I'd usually agree, but that said, I've spent a bit too much time this morning youtubing this thing in varying stages of unboxing. I know, I'm part of the problem.

Thought I read somewhere recently about using a flat screwdriver and rocking it gently left to right underneath the chip.0 -

Standard DDR type ram? Don't you just release the clasp & it pushes the ram upwards to loosen it, or is this something different?0 -

Edit: DIP chip is the term I was looking for :pac:
Get a cheap chip removal tool. Very handy thing to have.
This:
Or a Euro or so more for this:

****, which one?
I'd guess it's the one in the middle, between the one next to Dooly's and second-down from Freddies? I was there last year, gaf was in ravages. Half the kits were knocked off, and what was remaining tilted on the side of faulty. The Point Blank set-up needed serious maintenance, the differences between popping in a coin and watching the attract screen were negligible.
The little one immediately beside Freddies was pretty cool 'til a couple years back. The Metal Slug rig was brilliant, stick in a euro and you'd get seemingly ages.
Actually the bigger one just after it, that was recently renovated. It's one of the few places that still has a Fighting Mania: Fist of the North Star set-up going. Which is weird, cause it fits the holiday-arcade model pretty well. I vaguely recall reading that a lot of machines were recalled due to folk injuring themselves on it, but I can't source anything.0 -
Freddies is gone, apparently the bank seized his assets . I dont know the whole story but its a very big blow to the place
Yeah Pipers with the metal slug was great but all slots now
Only 4 pinball machines in the whole place aswell, been playing theatre of magic recently, its some fun. Really tempted to get my own one0 -
