    The Random Thought Thread

    Makes sense. Yeah, it used to only work if one of the inputs was coax, so what I did was ran two outputs from my directTV box: one HDMI and one coax so I had HD when I wanted TV only, and then the coax input for PiP when I was playing video games on another HDMI input. I was curious about why...

    It truly does sound like you're in sports heaven, my man. :)

    That sounds awesome. Wish I had something like that. I also really miss having Picture in Picture mode on my TV. Shame that all the manufacturers did away with it to cut costs. When I got my first LCD, I used PiP all the time for playing video games and watching TV at the same time, but my last...

    I’m bummed the Bulls got hosed, but somehow I’m not surprised. Just horrible luck in recent years.

    I do these days as well. For some reason, my mom always seemed to buy these by the crate though. I think they were insanely cheap back in the 80’s. The leftover juice at the bottom was always the best part. Oh snap. I remember the first time my wife did that and she thought she could kick the...

    Sort of like the grape popsicles that no one ever wants: I must’ve consumed a billion of the blue and red as a kid.

    First Licensed FX3 Williams Speculation

    This is basically a sidenote post, but as a baseball geek I’m compelled to reply: There’s no exclusive deal for MLB games any longer either. 2K used to have the exclusive deal, but that expired a few years ago and they chose not to renew it and they shut down MLB 2K completely. Sony was always...

    As if second-hand smoke wasn’t bad enough, let’s fill the room with other random, hazardous chemicals jammed packed into this little tablet! And it wouldn’t be the 70’s without incense: It even fools other bats! ...and the contents of that “horror outfit”, heh.

    Picked up a couple odd gems at a local bookstore fire sale: I love the ads in these 70’s comics. I know what I’ll be doing this summer! Gotta get me a pair of these “Shoe Skates”: The quotes at the bottom :D

    Speaking of which, the origins of "60 Seconds of Rage" later in 1 year anniversary, and some good laughs all around: http://www.mediafire.com/file/lw8v0k7cs4c3cdb/TPA_Blahcade_13b.mp3/file I think this was also around the time when I was told I sounded like Bill Simmons, which I can hear now...

    This was the first time we used AC/DC's Big Balls, the 1 year anniversary of the show. The stereo panning effect I used on the sound bytes is pretty cool if you listen on headphones: http://www.mediafire.com/file/1dmflxgbxs54s3o/TPA_Blahcade_13.wav/file

    Plus, me being a master procrastinator, it would take me a week or two to edit! This was when I first started messing around with the intros, so I hadn't settled in on the blues song yet. I think the ep 10 intro was the first time I used it...

    I think this is the intro from the last "barcade" episode before we got the cease & desist and had to change the name: http://www.mediafire.com/file/b52d1mcc4q2263b/TPA_Barcade_8_%25282%2529.wav/file It's funny to think that we were only 8 episodes in before the name change.

    Haha, true, but we had a good time, and I did have a lot of fun editing the pin sound effects together and putting my audio production skills to use. You gotta admit some of my mashups were pretty sweet! Pretty sure I still have some of the files. I’ll have to see if I can find any of the good...

    Hypothetically How Much To Start A Pinball Arcade?

    I always wondered about the electric bill for arcades. I know just for one pin, I can go online and see my current electric usage and it spikes way up when I’m playing (maybe the old pins were less efficient and used more juice?). I couldn’t imagine how much electricity the huge arcades guzzle...
