--- Quote from: vrf on March 13, 2007, 09:20:05 pm ---I actually only read through Drew's little rant, so sorry to lump you in with that. --- End quote --- Did you read gt$%$'s rants ? THAT is about as lame as it gets (and his bone of contention seems to be the Dreamcast in the cab, which isn't relevant in a thread about MAME cabs anyway). Do we just assume that, simply because two members have higher post counts and that they both disagree with the same crappy "thought so" attitude that they are meeting behind closed doors, wearing funny hats with secret handshakes and planning to gang up on innocent newbs ? Or, does the dufus simply deserve a response ? C'mon, people. RTFT. Cheers |

Don't be a clown.) * Certainty of being correct with everybody else is incorrect * Responses ignore points being responded to (e.g. DK was pretty clear about things that you were actually given) * Babbling ... not quite there yet, but ... Hmmm ... --- End quote --- I guess the first pissing would be accusing him of being someone else, unless you have proof. ::) Don't get me wrong. I respect you and Drew and would listen to you both for good advice, but I think you guys jumped on the new guy for building a Dreamcast cabinet, which is not really unheard of around here. On top of that, you call him a smart-whatever and accuse him of nearly babbling, like you're his superior or something. I have to say that Drew was a little Right Said Fred in this case. His initial comments certainly could have come off a little friendlier, especially since we're not in EE right now and we're dealing with sensitive issues, like people's dreams of building and designing something they will love for many years to come. It is funny that Drew can come off so hard without showing any of his own cabinet building ingenuity actually in practice. :lame: (Remember, Drew, I already said that I respect you, and I do.) This post is not meant to create enmity. |

Oh, yeah... and forgetting to bring and TAKE their salt grains while reading everybody else's posts. Those grains of salt are the things that keep this place sane, I think that this is one of the friendliest forums I have seen, I don't know where some people get the idea that the residents of this forum have forgotten that the hobby is about fun. I enjoy the forum and the projects at least as much as playing the games. Remember, if you know why YOU did something on YOUR cab, and you know what it gained you vs. what you sacrificed is a good balance, then you didn't' make any mistakes. Later, Brian |

You're buying a console, then building a couple-hundred-dollar cabinet to play something in a room that should already have a TV which you can connect a console to.....FOR FREE! Which would be easier to move? A console and a television, or a cabinet? Console & TV = 1 person. Cabinet = 1 person and a dolly, or 2 people. Got a dolly handy? If so, you just added to the cost of your "cheap" solution, if not, you've gotta ha......nevermind. You've gotta be just looking for any reason to build a cab, and your wife bought that. --- End quote --- Just for clarity, this is the first Right Said Fred post, which probably came out of left field as far as BTP ... whatever ... was concerned. It is Drew at his self-righteous best. And it's silly to point out the impracticality of a cab like this, especially since this whole hobby basically reeks of impracticality. And I doubt PaigeOliver's comments are limited to cabs running Mame, as opposed to Raine or some other emulator or console games in general. Did you think the Dreamcast cab comment was inappropriate for the thread, Paige? --- Quote from: CheffoJeffo on March 13, 2007, 09:33:53 pm ---Did you read gt$%$'s rants ?

For F*&^% Sake!!! Children.... It's like Handbags at dawn in here!!! I disagree with nearly all of the top 10 list.... But at the end of the day the whole thing is about personal choice. Now will you all stop mincing about in here and getting anti with each other. Put your damned handbags away. Best Regards, Julian (Fozzy The Bear) |
