Thanks, bro.

Looks like they used a Stern cab as well.

Is it just the angle of the photo, or is the ball-top on that joystick sitting extremely low?

Looks like it to me too. Since it was just built as a prop, they probably weren't worried about it being very playable.

Just read the full description. They didn't even bother getting it to run Polybius.

Yots' cab is a million times better. I saw Delusional's youtube vid showing it off and I was blown away.

I wonder what movie they were going to use this cab in?

15k views! Never would have thought! I need to do a follow up when I return to Zapcon next year!

Two-year update -

So a couple of weeks ago, I got an email from someone who said they were a CNN producer who wanted to interview me about this project for a web series they're doing on different aspects of video games. At first, I was thinking, yeah right, and then I saw that he had gotten my information from one of the zapcon organizers. He also cited the video I did with DeL, so I knew he had done his research. I did some asking around and found out that he was legit, so I told them sure. Yesterday, they flew into town and came out to my game room to shoot an interview with me about the process behind creating the cabinet. We also shot some b-roll footage of me doing various things in the game room, like working on a machine and repair. My JAMMA tester, The Troubleshooter II, featured pretty prominently it as well. We talked about the urban legend, the reaction the cabinet has gotten at ZapCon and StarFighters arcade, and some other little things. Today I'm going to a studio to shoot a commercial for the episode.

It was a lot of fun. I will keep you guys posted when the series is done. There's some pretty cool things in it, they're really going for stories that haven't been told yet. He told me it should be sometime in July.

That's rad! Can't think of a better representative for our hobby. You're like the perfect mix of respectable and down-to-earthy, plus you have all your teeth. I'm looking forward to totally doing a, "Hey, I know that guy!"

Speaking of shirts, Mexican, where's my ZapCon shirt unboxing video??

yotsuya · « **Reply #57 on:** May 16, 2017, 10:32:59 am »

Thanks, guys. I will post more from the commercial shoot tonight.

Nice, I had no idea when we made this video that it would blow up to almost 30k views!

Hey, was the CNN guy's name Joel Rampello? I got an inquiry a few months back in the comments section of my video asking about the cab for a short film. I pointed him in the Zapcon direction for more info.

Is this kind of like porn where you 'can get your money' after they get all the shots?

pbj · « **Reply #64 on:** May 16, 2017, 05:18:09 pm »

Next time, get half up front.

I do it for the love of classic gaming, pendejo.

Awesomeness. I'll say this about Polybius, a friend of mine loves it. He just goes all zen when he plays it, says it's almost a meditation for him.

yotsuya · « **Reply #67 on:** May 16, 2017, 09:02:42 pm »

Pictures from the commercial shoot. This was a lot of fun.

Laythe · « **Reply #68 on:** May 16, 2017, 09:59:17 pm »

Man, that lighting. That fog.

All this shot needs is laser beams bouncing off a disco ball, Pixelhugger, and Ond.

Imaginary rep for Laythe!

I was going to offer my b-roll footage from Zapcon, but looks like they've got it covered!

Nice!

For CNN's next segment they are going to do a piece on wine barrel arcade cabinets...
