It was probably the blue lightning graphics.  ;)

When the guy started talking about forums I was expecting him to go into how the members there are all elitist ---daisies---, but instead he said most of the examples were bad pictures from circa 2002.  It made me wonder if he even came across BYOAC.  How can you search for info on a cab build and not come across BYOAC and its hall of fame builds!  :lol

Yeah, that kind of rankled me, too. Especially when he mentioned there were NO good vendors out there besides whoever got trashed by Sandy. HaRuMaN, Rick, and eBarlow all put out quality products.

You guys are right about the forum stuff. In their defense, in a follow up article they link to BYOAC and the wiki. http://www.tested.com/art/makers/463926-designing-cocktail-arcade-cabinet-sketchup/

I'm sure they came across the forum, but it's not surprising they didn't find a lot of what we'd consider "good" vendors. Unless you spend a good chunk of time browsing through threads you probably won't realize who's who and all the great resources. And for the specific thing they were looking for - exact blueprints for a 4-player cocktail - it's not too common.

I'm just excited for the videos more than anything. Great video documentation of people building this stuff is good for everybody.

I didn't mind that...guy on the left seemed to have his head wrapped around whats, what. As long as I don't have to listen to Adam Savages obnoxious laugh and tell me for the thousandth time it is the coolest thing he has ever seen, its all good.

They linked to the old main page and the old wiki. :(
