AntiMameys? Hope no one's here...

Holy Christ... I almost fell out of my chair here at work.  ---gosh-darn--- that is funny....

I totally agree with RayB,

The pages were hilarious,  but not everybody has to like that kind of humour.
and he didn't post those comments here at this forum, which would have not been very nice.

Come on guys, it's obviously a joke and a good one.

I just had to laugh out loud.
I must have made strange sounds trying to keep the laughs inside here at the office 



I am a masokist, please do say something about my confusing cp with family photos, pointy speakers, cardboard bezel mockup, ...

There is alwas room for laugh and humour, even black humour

Ok finsalor. Why not.

Ahem.

SOMEBODY GET THIS THING A WONDER BRA! What the (heck)?! That giant black expanse between the bottom of the monitor and the CP make this thing look saggier than my granny and her double D's! Get this thing some support and lift before you can play it with your toes!

I've often picked up chicks with the underglow on a MAME box. They just can't resist the sex appeal that it offers as I roll by. Could use some DUBS though. I mean, come on. Ya can't go half-hooptie.

Also seen in this photo are some sort of under-control panel assault weapons. Don't best this guy at a game of Sexy Pariodius or he'll fire a nut missle at you and then it's goodbye fatherhood!

Now seriously,

The control panel is nicely laid out, not too crowded and not bigger than the trunk of a 38 Chevy sedan.  The art, while busy, is ART and not shelf paper, or pages ripped out of GAMEFAN.

Overall, You'd land closer to the "nice one" end of the bell curve - well past mediocrity and nowhere near crap, with me.

[markrvp]

Now see, this is a fun game.

[epthegeek]

I fully support the roasting of cabs submitted by their owners for roasting.

Here, do mine:

I dunno, I think it would get old pretty fast. Lots of repetition and all that.

Yours is actually quite nice. The CP art is fantastic. The cabinet is well done. The trackball is properly flush mounted. You've got a proper bezel ...

But ...

oh HO! This sneaky bastard tried to hide some of his bursting button population from the world! Did you really think that by making them black so they don't show up so well that we'd miss them!? Not this time, bucko!

See, it's just wearing out. Yeah, you've got a ton of controls on there. But at least it's all unique stuff and laid out logically. The number of buttons you've got is probably daunting to anyone that's not you. But even though there's a jillion and ten of them, they're mostly laid out in ways that you can tell what they are.

Exept for that mysterious FLYING-V formation around the spinner! OMG! It's some kind of button attack squad! LOOK THE HELL OUT!

.... it's just not working anymore.

[markrvp]

It was fun while it lasted.   

[RayB]

Hey Mark, I like the design you put around the 4-way. Makes it REALLY obvious to people.

In some ways I wish I had installed all my controls and started playing BEFORE designing my CP art. That way I would have realized a few things that needed to be included on it. OH WELL.

[finsailor]

Thanks epthe, but I knew that already :-)

To make you all feel better, I am planning to
- fix the marquee
- replace the 21 inch pc monitor with a bigger tv one day,
- hide the tilting assault weapons,
- redo the cp,
- and upgrade the pc, to mention few things


But mark's craftmanship and artwork of the plastic forest is really awesome.

[PaulG]

Personally, I thought it was hilarious.  Even though I'd seen a lot of them before, I was still laughing pretty hard at some of the comments (And hitting the next button and hoping like mad that my picture wasn't next).

[DrewKaree]

misconceiving

I think you disreunderguestimate the retarditty of that word.

Why was Stingray the first person I thought of when I saw this pic:

The woods in the background.  He's always telling us his house is surrounded by woods.

"Standing behind this beer barrel behemoth probably puts you far enough away from the screen that the audio would be out of sync."

That's Xiaou's (or however the heck you spell it) rotating CP.  You should see how funny 1UP or Frosty's rotating CP looks, or how far away from the screen it puts you.

Yeah, I think my comments might go right over someone's head, so lemme run them smack dab into the forehead.  That one is one of the ass hat pages that doesn't take into account that it's one of the better solutions out there. 

As the Swami JackTucky once said "Oh we laughed and we laughed"

Does anyone else remember the first time CRAPMAME was up about 2 years ago?

When a link was posted here, some people got their panties in a bunch and sent him hate mail and he took the site down.

On my computer somewhere, I have a zipped copy of most of the site that I salvaged from my IE cache.  I'll have to dig it out and see how much is the same and if anything was left out this time.

[Santoro]

I remember it well.  It generated a very similar discussion that must have eventually been sent to Hell because I cannot find it now.

[SNAAKE]

Wow this dude has so much free time....

[subcriminal]

Man! There should be a sticky link to this on the 'Project Announcements' forum! How not to do it, no doubt about it!

[Zakk]

And right above that, a sticky about why you shouldn't mame classic cabinets, eh?

[DrewKaree]

Ooo oooh, and then.....and then....and then....uh...and....uh....erah.....then....a sticky with a bunch of info that's important to read unless you want to build a cab, and then you should NEVER EVER look at it.  Oh, and a sticky about why we have stickies.  CRAP!  Just thought of another one......another sticky to collect all the stickies in a few places to make it easy to find, and then ANOTHER sticky to point out where to find those stickies, and...and....and....

[Zakk]

Fine for you. You HAVE a sticky thread!

[DrewKaree]

Fine for you. You HAVE a sticky thread! 

I believe the proper term is "nener nener boo boo wash your face in doo doo".  I have TWO.

Get out and look around the forums here and you might see that instead of farting around in EE all day, you slacker brazilionaire

Drew's post is all sticky.

[Crowquill]

While it definitely could have used a bit of tact, he definitely makes some great points. Most of those were summed up in page 31 though. The fact that it's old explains why this one didn't make the cut:

They could afford to mutilate a Dig Dug cab, but couldn't be bothered to get their child a shirt. Nice parenting.

Did you read the last comment in that thread?

Even though its tragic that you had to gut out a perfectly good dig-dug cabinet..... thats a pretty slick looking Mame machine. Kudos to you.

Slick looking?  Are you kidding me?  It's a shelving unit and a crudely painted white box jammed into a gutted Dig Dug.

[brophog]

Kid's run around with no clothes on all the time. It's only sick when Drew does it.

"gut a perfectly good" and "Kudos" should never be in the same sentence.

We might as well continue the spirit of this thread by lambasting bad arcade conversions. This site is old, but still amusing: http://www.madocowain.com/Arcade/Gallery/gallery_1.html

[JoyMonkey]

Have a look at the traffic stats for the crapmame site:
http://www.wickedretarded.com/globat/webstats/

The third most popular domain for visitors is midwaygames.com
Me thinks the folks at Midway have been forwarding this around the office a few hundred times and having a right ol' larf.

Bizarre Creations is right behind them too!

Ha!

It's a lot like The Best Page In The Universe. Same sort of egotistical, curseword filled humor.


http://maddox.xmission.com

But he did include his project which was pretty ugly as well.

It's a complete rip off of maddox's page.  He obviously doesn't get Maddox either.  He is the embodiment maddox's prime target; someone who just doesn't get it.  His emulation of The Best Page In The Universe doesn't speak well for capability for creative thought.  He is not familliar enough with the material that he is emulating to emulate it effectively.  He uses leet speak. He uses questionable spelling and grammar.  Most of what he says lacks depth of thought or any effective written humor.

What he does have going for him is perahps his only original idea.  Collect a library of all the homebuilt atrocities that this hobby has inspired.  Too bad he didn't present it effectively in his own way.

[RayB]

who cares.

As if Maddox invented sarcasm.
