So I go to Funspot…. AGAIN….ALONE! I show a bunch of arcades requested by my fellow peeps and have a REALLY good Donkey Kong game ALMOST beating my top score. I also check out another arcade near Funspot.
I am on vacation this week, so we took a stroll to my favorite place, FUNSPOT! We pretty much had the place to ourselves today which was sweet! In this Vlog I show a bunch of cabs which I think are interesting. If you guys want to see a machine in particular, let me know!
The 60 in 1 project arcade cab is ALMOST complete. I did some 2nd coats of paint and its just a matter of putting it back together again after the paint kicks. Also I explain how to change out a JAMMA game for Gamester81.
I received 2 packages in the mail. One from the Youtuber, Arcadegames, and another package from NewEgg.com. Now I have everything to finish my 60 in 1 cab! Arcadegames sent me clamps for my control panel, balance feet, and misc hardware which was really nice of him! And I ordered my cathode bulb for my marquee on NewEgg.com. At the end of the vlog, I picked up some awesome games at a new Goodwill that just opened up today.

The 60 in 1 arcade cab is a big step closer to being complete! I made the bezel and have painted the stuff I needed to black. It came out awesome! Its almost like the screen is floating in darkness!! I also have my plexi glass front on! Just a couple more things and its done!
Back to Funspot again!?!? Yup, again! I met up with Nick AKA PressStartComic from arcade-hunters.com (no footage unfortunately) and topped my new Donkey Kong high score of 75,500! To wrap up the vlog, I show some gaming pick ups.

After a very emo vlog yesterday, my 60 in 1 arcade board is fine!! It was as simple as putting a stupid credit in to make the buttons work. SHOOT ME! My monitor also came in the mail today and now its time to put this baby together! Game play of Donkey Kong and Ms.Pac-man of course is shown on this very eventful vlog!
I received my 60 in 1 arcade board in the mail and starting having issues! It would fire up but no buttons would work. I even thought I toasted the board by plugging in the JAMMA harness backwards! Long story short, I got the board working now. Be warned, this Vlog is very emo!
To start the day off, we had trash all over our porch. I am guessing raccoons! Then the lady and I went to Funspot, YET AGAIN! I never get sick of that place! And my girlfriend still sucks at Pong!
So I ordered my board, buttons, joystick, and power supply for my project arcade cab. So now I am getting ready for the stuff to come in! I gutted the cab and cleaned it all out. Plus I got my JAMMA harness that was a rat’s nest, ready to be used!
Check out some of my latest gaming pick-ups and why I am not in the Youtube gaming package cool club. ![]()
When you are alone for the night, the only thing to make are Lean Pockets! Lucy the dog is quite the trick dog.
What a fun Valentines Day! My girlfriend and I went to Funspot where all the lovers go! I didn’t get to much footage, but overall it was a good time returning back to one of my favorite places!
The woman and I decided to venture to New Hampshire for some shopping and to grocery shop. Terrible, terrible idea! The Grocery store was mobbed because of the Super Bowl. I think I’m the only one that doesn’t watch the Super Bowl. Plus I show some Goodwill game pick ups.
