Questions about building an arcade cabinet.

[leapinlew]

Make sure you post pics of you playing it tomorrow. 

Heh, its 9 where i live, so you will see pics a a couple days.
but any reccomendations for a Cheap 19" television for my PS2 cab and a cheap monitor for my supergun? Just to get me started?

Define cheap... either way - check out craigslist for the TV

cheap? under 200 bucks. 100 if possible. actually, what size would you recommend for fighting games like virtua fighter and tekken?
You know what? Im just gonna walk into best buy tommorow and see what they got.

65" Mitsubishi big screen.  Also, craigslist.org really is the best route considering that your parents won't let you have the cabinet, I would assume due to cost, and a new t.v. is about half of that cabinet.  Just by a $20 special and have that part done.  A new t.v. isn't going to provide anything else besides a shiny cardboard box to possibly start your cabinet out of.

I just wanted a long ass quote thingy of my very own. Thanks.

I'll tell you what gets to me.  It's when someone messes up the pyramid!

Pyramid FTW! 

This is all getting very Ancient Egyptian now.... I don't know! All this talk of Pyramids  Just thought I'd add to it... Are we going for a record pyramid score here??

We are a longggggggggggg way off from the record pyramid, that's for sure 

this is true...

I thought pyramids were illegal.. or is that some kind of scheme??

No... you're just confused... It's "Hippies" that are illegal and they're into pyramids as well.

I want to take a day off from work and hang out at Best Buy today just to see the kid walk in with his notepad printout and ask someone there for a 25" TV, and X-Arcade sticks, and a VF2 PCB.

He must be grounded.  He hasn't posted 20 times yet today and it's already past noon.  I'm worried about him.  What time does BestBuy open?

School?

I didn't think of that.  I wonder if he's gonna crap when he sees there are 50 new responses?

you mean 51 responses....

Well, that was just an arbitrary number, but I'll go with it.  Here's to 52!

eleventy twelve

I didn't want get yelled at for breaking the streak 
I didn't think the Supergun worked for Med Res games.  Does it?  Or it can, just not on a regular TV?

I like the 10,000.00 Pyramid.  It's pretty and messmerizing, scroll up and down quickly.

Boobies!

HAS ANYONE SEEN MY KEYS?......THEY'RE ON AN ATARI KEYCHAIN....ANYONE?

Well, since you put it this way.........................NO!  They must be broken!

Just like a Nintendo joystick ....

A little FYI kid,
DO NOT BUY THE TV RIGHT NOW.
GUTTED CABS ARE NOT STANDARD, THEY VARY IN SIZE.
YOU NEED THE CAB FIRST SO YOU CAN KNOW HOW BIG THE TV CAN BE.
Also, best buy does not carry tube anymore.  [SNIP]

Also, search for jamma boards.  Took me 2 minutes to find this one, http://www.coinopexpress.com/products/

No, you can't always get what you want...You can't always get what you want...You can't always get what you want...And if you try sometime you find...You get what you need...

This has got to be a joke. Is this guy really this determined, yet so unwilling to search the web for what he wants?
And DON"T BREAK THE PYRAMID!!!!

Knowledge is key.... and the unwillingness to obtain such knowledge leaves you with but only one joystick to play with.

I love LAMP!

Sorry Champ. I think I ate your chocolate squirrel.

The matrix 2 and 3 were terrible movies.

This thread is akin to walking into a Dodge enthusiast gathering and asking how to build a Charger around an engine, but you don't want to buy a Charger, spend any money, have the engine, have any mechanical ability, tools, or the desire to learn.

That sounds about right...  learning how to build these things and actually carrying out a plan is the best part of this hobby to me... sure, playing the games is fun too but topping my Galaga high score doesn't feel half as good as powering up a cab for the first time and having it actually work...

Amen to that brother!

No doubt ..... I rarely play anything I build or repair ...... I just like to tinker.
I let other people get their giggles from playing.
I just want to bring things to life. (insert muahhahahaha voice)

WHOA!!! this is a huge ass pyramid!!![SNIP]
So, bye, and thanks for the help.  To Arcades.

So you are not going to go for the actual PCB anymore? [SNIP]

Pyramid people, pyramid....
Ugly cabs can only make a better foundation.

Has one of these actually taken up an entire page before?   
Hmmmmmm.........

Not that I know of.... But it looks like we might be going for the record here!!
(did some subtle tydying to improve the shape a bit and get rid of long ass comments messing it up LOL  )

Excellent idea Fozzy. Much prettier now!

SuperShadowRyan: I would definately advise against using an X Arcade for any serious fighting game. Cabinet or not. You need J sticks and convex buttons for good VF action. no joke 

Actually X-Arcade is not really that bad if you considering running multiple system like pc and console.  But yes, ditch those joystick and button that comes with it, just take the interface.

I can only agree with this one... X-Arcade sticks absoultely suck on fighting games. But doing it that way he'd be better off just buying a Keywiz or an IPac. But he's not doing it now anyway, in case he sees something else that he wants his parents to buy him. Go Figure! Teenagers!!

My brain hurts.   

Anyone else feel like watching the mummy?

ROFL I just did....   

I used to watch the mummies quite often ..... oh wait... I'm not supposed to talk about that anymore.   

roflcopter!

Double roflcopter  So come on guys! If we're going for the record Pyramid get posting!

So what is a "ROLFcopter"? I could search on the web, but that wouldn't extend the pyramid.

ROLFcopter   look.... there goes one now!   ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL it's the noise a helicopter makes....

"Itsy Bitsy ..... Teeny Weeny ..... __________________ "

What a teeny weeny yellow ROFLCopter.... Nahhh! Mine's a HUGE Tank carrying ROFLCopter 

This pyramid is shaping up quyite nicely, but you know it looks more like an hourglass.

That's because it's a "sexy" pyramid.   

It's a Mayan pyramid.

Chewbaka...  the wookie

There was 3 girls, a blonde, a brunette, and a red head. and they found a pyramid. they read a tablet that said "this is the pyramid of 100 steps. if you get to the top of it, you will get what you've wanted all your life. but be warned, every 5 steps a person will pop out and tell a joke, and if you laugh, you can never try again." so the brunette gets to the 5th step and laughs, so she could never try again. the red head got to the 20th step and laughed, so she could never try again. then the blonde got to the 99th step and laughed. then the guy who was going to tell the joke said "why did you laugh, i didnt tell the joke yet." then the blonde said "i know, i laughed because i just got the first joke!"

I thought pyramids were illegal.. or is that some kind of scheme??

No... you're just confused... It's "Hippies" that are illegal and they're into pyramids as well.

I want to take a day off from work and hang out at Best Buy today just to see the kid walk in with his notepad printout and ask someone there for a 25" TV, and X-Arcade sticks, and a VF2 PCB.

He must be grounded.  He hasn't posted 20 times yet today and it's already past noon.  I'm worried about him.  What time does BestBuy open?

School?

I didn't think of that.  I wonder if he's gonna crap when he sees there are 50 new responses?

you mean 51 responses....

Well, that was just an arbitrary number, but I'll go with it.  Here's to 52!

eleventy twelve

I didn't want get yelled at for breaking the streak 
I didn't think the Supergun worked for Med Res games.  Does it?  Or it can, just not on a regular TV?

I like the 10,000.00 Pyramid.  It's pretty and messmerizing, scroll up and down quickly.

Boobies!

HAS ANYONE SEEN MY KEYS?......THEY'RE ON AN ATARI KEYCHAIN....ANYONE?

Well, since you put it this way.........................NO!  They must be broken!

Just like a Nintendo joystick ....

A little FYI kid,
DO NOT BUY THE TV RIGHT NOW.
GUTTED CABS ARE NOT STANDARD, THEY VARY IN SIZE.
YOU NEED THE CAB FIRST SO YOU CAN KNOW HOW BIG THE TV CAN BE.
Also, best buy does not carry tube anymore.  [SNIP]

Also, search for jamma boards.  Took me 2 minutes to find this one, http://www.coinopexpress.com/products/

No, you can't always get what you want...You can't always get what you want...You can't always get what you want...And if you try sometime you find...You get what you need...

This has got to be a joke. Is this guy really this determined, yet so unwilling to search the web for what he wants?
And DON"T BREAK THE PYRAMID!!!!

Knowledge is key.... and the unwillingness to obtain such knowledge leaves you with but only one joystick to play with.

I love LAMP!

Sorry Champ. I think I ate your chocolate squirrel.

The matrix 2 and 3 were terrible movies.

This thread is akin to walking into a Dodge enthusiast gathering and asking how to build a Charger around an engine, but you don't want to buy a Charger, spend any money, have the engine, have any mechanical ability, tools, or the desire to learn.

That sounds about right...  learning how to build these things and actually carrying out a plan is the best part of this hobby to me... sure, playing the games is fun too but topping my Galaga high score doesn't feel half as good as powering up a cab for the first time and having it actually work...

Amen to that brother!

No doubt ..... I rarely play anything I build or repair ...... I just like to tinker.
I let other people get their giggles from playing.
I just want to bring things to life. (insert muahhahahaha voice)

WHOA!!! this is a huge ass pyramid!!![SNIP]
So, bye, and thanks for the help.  To Arcades.

So you are not going to go for the actual PCB anymore? [SNIP]

Pyramid people, pyramid....
Ugly cabs can only make a better foundation.

Has one of these actually taken up an entire page before?   
Hmmmmmm.........

Not that I know of.... But it looks like we might be going for the record here!!
(did some subtle tydying to improve the shape a bit and get rid of long ass comments messing it up LOL  )

Excellent idea Fozzy. Much prettier now!

SuperShadowRyan: I would definately advise against using an X Arcade for any serious fighting game. Cabinet or not. You need J sticks and convex buttons for good VF action. no joke 

Actually X-Arcade is not really that bad if you considering running multiple system like pc and console.  But yes, ditch those joystick and button that comes with it, just take the interface.

I can only agree with this one... X-Arcade sticks absoultely suck on fighting games. But doing it that way he'd be better off just buying a Keywiz or an IPac. But he's not doing it now anyway, in case he sees something else that he wants his parents to buy him. Go Figure! Teenagers!!

My brain hurts.   

Anyone else feel like watching the mummy?

ROFL I just did....   

I used to watch the mummies quite often ..... oh wait... I'm not supposed to talk about that anymore.   

roflcopter!

Double roflcopter  So come on guys! If we're going for the record Pyramid get posting!

So what is a "ROLFcopter"? I could search on the web, but that wouldn't extend the pyramid.

ROLFcopter   look.... there goes one now!   ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL it's the noise a helicopter makes....

This pyramid is shaping up quyite nicely, but you know it looks more like an hourglass.

That's because it's a "sexy" pyramid.   

It's a Mayan pyramid.

Chewbaka...  the wookie

There was 3 girls, a blonde, a brunette, and a red head. and they found a pyramid. they read a tablet that said "this is the pyramid of 100 steps. if you get to the top of it, you will get what you've wanted all your life. but be warned, every 5 steps a person will pop out and tell a joke, and if you laugh, you can never try again." so the brunette gets to the 5th step and laughs, so she could never try again. the red head got to the 20th step and laughed, so she could never try again. then the blonde got to the 99th step and laughed. then the guy who was going to tell the joke said "why did you laugh, i didnt tell the joke yet." then the blonde said "i know, i laughed because i just got the first joke!"

That is without doubt a ROFLcopter. 

P.S. Christopher Walken Is Weird

Make sure you post pics of you playing it tomorrow. 

Heh, its 9 where i live, so you will see pics a a couple days.
but any reccomendations for a Cheap 19" television for my PS2 cab and a cheap monitor for my supergun? Just to get me started?

Define cheap... either way - check out craigslist for the TV

cheap? under 200 bucks. 100 if possible. actually, what size would you recommend for fighting games like virtua fighter and tekken?
You know what? Im just gonna walk into best buy tommorow and see what they got.

65" Mitsubishi big screen.  Also, craigslist.org really is the best route considering that your parents won't let you have the cabinet, I would assume due to cost, and a new t.v. is about half of that cabinet.  Just by a $20 special and have that part done.  A new t.v. isn't going to provide anything else besides a shiny cardboard box to possibly start your cabinet out of.

I just wanted a long ass quote thingy of my very own. Thanks.

I'll tell you what gets to me.  It's when someone messes up the pyramid!

Pyramid FTW! 

This is all getting very Ancient Egyptian now.... I don't know! All this talk of Pyramids  Just thought I'd add to it... Are we going for a record pyramid score here??

Pyramid FTW! 

This is all getting very Ancient Egyptian now.... I don't know! All this talk of Pyramids  Just thought I'd add to it... Are we going for a record pyramid score here??

We are a longggggggggggg way off from the record pyramid, that's for sure 

this is true...

I thought pyramids were illegal.. or is that some kind of scheme??

No... you're just confused... It's "Hippies" that are illegal and they're into pyramids as well.

I want to take a day off from work and hang out at Best Buy today just to see the kid walk in with his notepad printout and ask someone there for a 25" TV, and X-Arcade sticks, and a VF2 PCB.

He must be grounded.  He hasn't posted 20 times yet today and it's already past noon.  I'm worried about him.  What time does BestBuy open?

School?

I didn't think of that.  I wonder if he's gonna crap when he sees there are 50 new responses?

you mean 51 responses....

Well, that was just an arbitrary number, but I'll go with it.  Here's to 52!

eleventy twelve

I didn't want get yelled at for breaking the streak 
I didn't think the Supergun worked for Med Res games.  Does it?  Or it can, just not on a regular TV?

I like the 10,000.00 Pyramid.  It's pretty and messmerizing, scroll up and down quickly.

Boobies!

HAS ANYONE SEEN MY KEYS?......THEY'RE ON AN ATARI KEYCHAIN....ANYONE?

Well, since you put it this way.........................NO!  They must be broken!

Just like a Nintendo joystick ....

A little FYI kid,
DO NOT BUY THE TV RIGHT NOW.
GUTTED CABS ARE NOT STANDARD, THEY VARY IN SIZE.
YOU NEED THE CAB FIRST SO YOU CAN KNOW HOW BIG THE TV CAN BE.
Also, best buy does not carry tube anymore.  [SNIP]

Also, search for jamma boards.  Took me 2 minutes to find this one, http://www.coinopexpress.com/products/

No, you can't always get what you want...You can't always get what you want...You can't always get what you want...And if you try sometime you find...You get what you need...

This has got to be a joke. Is this guy really this determined, yet so unwilling to search the web for what he wants?
And DON"T BREAK THE PYRAMID!!!!

Knowledge is key.... and the unwillingness to obtain such knowledge leaves you with but only one joystick to play with.

I love LAMP!

Sorry Champ. I think I ate your chocolate squirrel.

The matrix 2 and 3 were terrible movies.

This thread is akin to walking into a Dodge enthusiast gathering and asking how to build a Charger around an engine, but you don't want to buy a Charger, spend any money, have the engine, have any mechanical ability, tools, or the desire to learn.

That sounds about right...  learning how to build these things and actually carrying out a plan is the best part of this hobby to me... sure, playing the games is fun too but topping my Galaga high score doesn't feel half as good as powering up a cab for the first time and having it actually work...

Amen to that brother!

No doubt ..... I rarely play anything I build or repair ...... I just like to tinker.
I let other people get their giggles from playing.
I just want to bring things to life. (insert muahhahahaha voice)

WHOA!!! this is a huge ass pyramid!!![SNIP]
So, bye, and thanks for the help.  To Arcades.

So you are not going to go for the actual PCB anymore? [SNIP]

Pyramid people, pyramid....
Ugly cabs can only make a better foundation.

Has one of these actually taken up an entire page before?   
Hmmmmmm.........

Not that I know of.... But it looks like we might be going for the record here!!

SuperShadowRyan: I would definately advise against using an X Arcade for any serious fighting game. Cabinet or not. You need J sticks and convex buttons for good VF action. no joke 

Actually X-Arcade is not really that bad if you considering running multiple system like pc and console.  But yes, ditch those joystick and button that comes with it, just take the interface.

I can only agree with this one... X-Arcade sticks absoultely suck on fighting games. But doing it that way he'd be better off just buying a Keywiz or an IPac. But he's not doing it now anyway, in case he sees something else that he wants his parents to buy him. Go Figure! Teenagers!!

My brain hurts.   

Anyone else feel like watching the mummy?

ROFL I just did....   

I used to watch the mummies quite often ..... oh wait... I'm not supposed to talk about that anymore.   

roflcopter!

Double roflcopter  So come on guys! If we're going for the record Pyramid get posting!

So what is a "ROLFcopter"? I could search on the web, but that wouldn't extend the pyramid.

ROLFcopter   look.... there goes one now!   ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL it's the noise a helicopter makes....

This pyramid is shaping up quyite nicely, but you know it looks more like an hourglass.

That's because it's a "sexy" pyramid.   

It's a Mayan pyramid.

Chewbaka...  the wookie

There was 3 girls, a blonde, a brunette, and a red head. and they found a pyramid. they read a tablet that said "this is the pyramid of 100 steps. if you get to the top of it, you will get what you've wanted all your life. but be warned, every 5 steps a person will pop out and tell a joke, and if you laugh, you can never try again." so the brunette gets to the 5th step and laughs, so she could never try again. the red head got to the 20th step and laughed, so she could never try again. then the blonde got to the 99th step and laughed. then the guy who was going to tell the joke said "why did you laugh, i didnt tell the joke yet." then the blonde said "i know, i laughed because i just got the first joke!"

That is without doubt a ROFLcopter. 

P.S. Christopher Walken Is Weird

I'm getting dizzy scrolling down.   btw: I suspect he's playing Guitar Hero now.

Needs more cowbell.

He mentioned a free PS2 adapter with the X-arcade.. but isnt that a Ps/2 keyboard for PC and NOT a Sony PS2??  also, I highly doubt Med res games work on a supergun RGB to TV converter...  Should've bought the $250 machine!!!

I think we already got past that Brandon.... He's lost interest in doing it at all in case he sees something else that he wants his parents to buy him instead. Two days and the teenager gives up because it's not instant.

Is that really shocking? Kids now are all about instant gratification.

And we didn't even have to walk to school barefoot, uphill, bothways, in the snow....

[brandon]

Make sure you post pics of you playing it tomorrow. 

Heh, its 9 where i live, so you will see pics a a couple days.
but any reccomendations for a Cheap 19" television for my PS2 cab and a cheap monitor for my supergun? Just to get me started?

Define cheap... either way - check out craigslist for the TV

cheap? under 200 bucks. 100 if possible. actually, what size would you recommend for fighting games like virtua fighter and tekken?
You know what? Im just gonna walk into best buy tommorow and see what they got.

65" Mitsubishi big screen.  Also, craigslist.org really is the best route considering that your parents won't let you have the cabinet, I would assume due to cost, and a new t.v. is about half of that cabinet.  Just by a $20 special and have that part done.  A new t.v. isn't going to provide anything else besides a shiny cardboard box to possibly start your cabinet out of.

Make sure you post pics of you playing it tomorrow. 

Heh, its 9 where i live, so you will see pics a a couple days.
but any reccomendations for a Cheap 19" television for my PS2 cab and a cheap monitor for my supergun? Just to get me started?

Define cheap... either way - check out craigslist for the TV

cheap? under 200 bucks. 100 if possible. actually, what size would you recommend for fighting games like virtua fighter and tekken?
You know what? Im just gonna walk into best buy tommorow and see what they got.

65" Mitsubishi big screen.  Also, craigslist.org really is the best route considering that your parents won't let you have the cabinet, I would assume due to cost, and a new t.v. is about half of that cabinet.  Just by a $20 special and have that part done.  A new t.v. isn't going to provide anything else besides a shiny cardboard box to possibly start your cabinet out of.

I just wanted a long ass quote thingy of my very own. Thanks.

I'll tell you what gets to me.  It's when someone messes up the pyramid!

Pyramid FTW! 

This is all getting very Ancient Egyptian now.... I don't know! All this talk of Pyramids  Just thought I'd add to it... Are we going for a record pyramid score here??

We are a longggggggggggg way off from the record pyramid, that's for sure 

this is true...

I thought pyramids were illegal.. or is that some kind of scheme??

No... you're just confused... It's "Hippies" that are illegal and they're into pyramids as well.

I want to take a day off from work and hang out at Best Buy today just to see the kid walk in with his notepad printout and ask someone there for a 25" TV, and X-Arcade sticks, and a VF2 PCB.

He must be grounded.  He hasn't posted 20 times yet today and it's already past noon.  I'm worried about him.  What time does BestBuy open?

School?

I didn't think of that.  I wonder if he's gonna crap when he sees there are 50 new responses?

you mean 51 responses....

Well, that was just an arbitrary number, but I'll go with it.  Here's to 52!

eleventy twelve

I didn't want get yelled at for breaking the streak 
I didn't think the Supergun worked for Med Res games.  Does it?  Or it can, just not on a regular TV?

I like the 10,000.00 Pyramid.  It's pretty and messmerizing, scroll up and down quickly.

Boobies!

HAS ANYONE SEEN MY KEYS?......THEY'RE ON AN ATARI KEYCHAIN....ANYONE?

Well, since you put it this way.........................NO!  They must be broken!

Just like a Nintendo joystick ....

A little FYI kid,
DO NOT BUY THE TV RIGHT NOW.
GUTTED CABS ARE NOT STANDARD, THEY VARY IN SIZE.
YOU NEED THE CAB FIRST SO YOU CAN KNOW HOW BIG THE TV CAN BE.
Also, best buy does not carry tube anymore.  [SNIP]

Also, search for jamma boards.  Took me 2 minutes to find this one, http://www.coinopexpress.com/products/

No, you can't always get what you want...You can't always get what you want...You can't always get what you want...And if you try sometime you find...You get what you need...

This has got to be a joke. Is this guy really this determined, yet so unwilling to search the web for what he wants?
And DON"T BREAK THE PYRAMID!!!!

Actually X-Arcade is not really that bad if you considering running multiple system like pc and console.  But yes, ditch those joystick and button that comes with it, just take the interface.

I can only agree with this one... X-Arcade sticks absoultely suck on fighting games. But doing it that way he'd be better off just buying a Keywiz or an IPac. But he's not doing it now anyway, in case he sees something else that he wants his parents to buy him. Go Figure! Teenagers!!

My brain hurts.   

Anyone else feel like watching the mummy?

ROFL I just did....   

I used to watch the mummies quite often ..... oh wait... I'm not supposed to talk about that anymore.

This pyramid is shaping up quyite nicely, but you know it looks more like an hourglass.

That's because it's a "sexy" pyramid.   

It's a Mayan pyramid.

Chewbaka...  the wookie

There was 3 girls, a blonde, a brunette, and a red head. and they found a pyramid. they read a tablet that said "this is the pyramid of 100 steps. if you get to the top of it, you will get what you've wanted all your life. but be warned, every 5 steps a person will pop out and tell a joke, and if you laugh, you can never try again." so the brunette gets to the 5th step and laughs, so she could never try again. the red head got to the 20th step and laughed, so she could never try again. then the blonde got to the 99th step and laughed. then the guy who was going to tell the joke said "why did you laugh, i didnt tell the joke yet." then the blonde said "i know, i laughed because i just got the first joke!"

That is without doubt a ROFLcopter.

Actually X-Arcade is not really that bad if you considering running multiple system like pc and console.  But yes, ditch those joystick and button that comes with it, just take the interface.

I can only agree with this one... X-Arcade sticks absoultely suck on fighting games. But doing it that way he'd be better off just buying a Keywiz or an IPac. But he's not doing it now anyway, in case he sees something else that he wants his parents to buy him. Go Figure! Teenagers!!

My brain hurts.   

Anyone else feel like watching the mummy?

ROFL I just did....   

I used to watch the mummies quite often ..... oh wait... I'm not supposed to talk about that anymore.   

roflcopter!

Double roflcopter  So come on guys! If we're going for the record Pyramid get posting!

So what is a "ROLFcopter"? I could search on the web, but that wouldn't extend the pyramid.

ROLFcopter   look.... there goes one now!   ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL it's the noise a helicopter makes....

This pyramid is shaping up quyite nicely, but you know it looks more like an hourglass.

That's because it's a "sexy" pyramid.   

It's a Mayan pyramid.

Chewbaka...  the wookie

There was 3 girls, a blonde, a brunette, and a red head. and they found a pyramid. they read a tablet that said "this is the pyramid of 100 steps. if you get to the top of it, you will get what you've wanted all your life. but be warned, every 5 steps a person will pop out and tell a joke, and if you laugh, you can never try again." so the brunette gets to the 5th step and laughs, so she could never try again. the red head got to the 20th step and laughed, so she could never try again. then the blonde got to the 99th step and laughed. then the guy who was going to tell the joke said "why did you laugh, i didnt tell the joke yet." then the blonde said "i know, i laughed because i just got the first joke!"

That is without doubt a ROFLcopter. 

P.S. Christopher Walken Is Weird

I'm getting dizzy scrolling down.   btw: I suspect he's playing Guitar Hero now.

Needs more cowbell.

He mentioned a free PS2 adapter with the X-arcade.. but isnt that a Ps/2 keyboard for PC and NOT a Sony PS2??  also, I highly doubt Med res games work on a supergun RGB to TV converter...  Should've bought the $250 machine!!!

I think we already got past that Brandon.... He's lost interest in doing it at all in case he sees something else that he wants his parents to buy him instead. Two days and the teenager gives up because it's not instant.

Is that really shocking? Kids now are all about instant gratification.

And we didn't even have to walk to school barefoot, uphill, bothways, in the snow....

Just needs to be a few pixels wider.

I guess I was messing up the symmetry...

Nahhh! Looks OK to me...... come on guys, I'm trying to keep this Pyramid going but it's hard work! Lest see a few more posts.

I wish there was a quote button at the bottom.

Still needs more cowbell.

The one problem we have here is that we're eventually going to max out the characters.  At some point, someone should delete a lot of sentences and words.

[leapinlew]

Make sure you post pics of you playing it tomorrow. 

Heh, its 9 where i live, so you will see pics a a couple days.
but any reccomendations for a Cheap 19" television for my PS2 cab and a cheap monitor for my supergun? Just to get me started?

Define cheap... either way - check out craigslist for the TV

cheap? under 200 bucks. 100 if possible. actually, what size would you recommend for fighting games like virtua fighter and tekken?
You know what? Im just gonna walk into best buy tommorow and see what they got.

65" Mitsubishi big screen.  Also, craigslist.org really is the best route considering that your parents won't let you have the cabinet, I would assume due to cost, and a new t.v. is about half of that cabinet.  Just by a $20 special and have that part done.  A new t.v. isn't going to provide anything else besides a shiny cardboard box to possibly start your cabinet out of.

I just wanted a long ass quote thingy of my very own. Thanks.

I'll tell you what gets to me.  It's when someone messes up the pyramid!

Pyramid FTW! 

This is all getting very Ancient Egyptian now.... I don't know! All this talk of Pyramids  Just thought I'd add to it... Are we going for a record pyramid score here??

We are a longggggggggggg way off from the record pyramid, that's for sure 

this is true...

I thought pyramids were illegal.. or is that some kind of scheme??

No... you're just confused... It's "Hippies" that are illegal and they're into pyramids as well.

I want to take a day off from work and hang out at Best Buy today just to see the kid walk in with his notepad printout and ask someone there for a 25" TV, and X-Arcade sticks, and a VF2 PCB.

He must be grounded.  He hasn't posted 20 times yet today and it's already past noon.  I'm worried about him.  What time does BestBuy open?

School?

I didn't think of that.  I wonder if he's gonna crap when he sees there are 50 new responses?

you mean 51 responses....

Well, that was just an arbitrary number, but I'll go with it.  Here's to 52!

eleventy twelve

I didn't want get yelled at for breaking the streak 
I didn't think the Supergun worked for Med Res games.  Does it?  Or it can, just not on a regular TV?

I like the 10,000.00 Pyramid.  It's pretty and messmerizing, scroll up and down quickly.

Boobies!

HAS ANYONE SEEN MY KEYS?......THEY'RE ON AN ATARI KEYCHAIN....ANYONE?

Well, since you put it this way.........................NO!  They must be broken!

Just like a Nintendo joystick ....

A little FYI kid,
DO NOT BUY THE TV RIGHT NOW.
GUTTED CABS ARE NOT STANDARD, THEY VARY IN SIZE.
YOU NEED THE CAB FIRST SO YOU CAN KNOW HOW BIG THE TV CAN BE.
Also, best buy does not carry tube anymore.  [SNIP]

Also, search for jamma boards.  Took me 2 minutes to find this one, http://www.coinopexpress.com/products/

No, you can't always get what you want...You can't always get what you want...You can't always get what you want...And if you try sometime you find...You get what you need...

This has got to be a joke. Is this guy really this determined, yet so unwilling to search the web for what he wants?
And DON"T BREAK THE PYRAMID!!!!

Knowledge is key.... and the unwillingness to obtain such knowledge leaves you with but only one joystick to play with.

I love LAMP!

Sorry Champ. I think I ate your chocolate squirrel.

The matrix 2 and 3 were terrible movies.

This thread is akin to walking into a Dodge enthusiast gathering and asking how to build a Charger around an engine, but you don't want to buy a Charger, spend any money, have the engine, have any mechanical ability, tools, or the desire to learn.

That sounds about right...  learning how to build these things and actually carrying out a plan is the best part of this hobby to me... sure, playing the games is fun too but topping my Galaga high score doesn't feel half as good as powering up a cab for the first time and having it actually work...

Amen to that brother!

No doubt ..... I rarely play anything I build or repair ...... I just like to tinker.
I let other people get their giggles from playing.
I just want to bring things to life. (insert muahhahahaha voice)

WHOA!!! this is a huge ass pyramid!!![SNIP]
So, bye, and thanks for the help.  To Arcades.

So you are not going to go for the actual PCB anymore? [SNIP]

I thought pyramids were illegal.. or is that some kind of scheme??

No... you're just confused... It's "Hippies" that are illegal and they're into pyramids as well.

I want to take a day off from work and hang out at Best Buy today just to see the kid walk in with his notepad printout and ask someone there for a 25" TV, and X-Arcade sticks, and a VF2 PCB.

He must be grounded.  He hasn't posted 20 times yet today and it's already past noon.  I'm worried about him.  What time does BestBuy open?

School?

I didn't think of that.  I wonder if he's gonna crap when he sees there are 50 new responses?

you mean 51 responses....

Well, that was just an arbitrary number, but I'll go with it.  Here's to 52!

eleventy twelve

I didn't want get yelled at for breaking the streak 
I didn't think the Supergun worked for Med Res games.  Does it?  Or it can, just not on a regular TV?

I like the 10,000.00 Pyramid.  It's pretty and messmerizing, scroll up and down quickly.

Boobies!

HAS ANYONE SEEN MY KEYS?......THEY'RE ON AN ATARI KEYCHAIN....ANYONE?

Well, since you put it this way.........................NO!  They must be broken!

Just like a Nintendo joystick ....

A little FYI kid,
DO NOT BUY THE TV RIGHT NOW.
GUTTED CABS ARE NOT STANDARD, THEY VARY IN SIZE.
YOU NEED THE CAB FIRST SO YOU CAN KNOW HOW BIG THE TV CAN BE.
Also, best buy does not carry tube anymore.  [SNIP]

Also, search for jamma boards.  Took me 2 minutes to find this one, http://www.coinopexpress.com/products/

No, you can't always get what you want...You can't always get what you want...You can't always get what you want...And if you try sometime you find...You get what you need...

This has got to be a joke. Is this guy really this determined, yet so unwilling to search the web for what he wants?
And DON"T BREAK THE PYRAMID!!!!

Knowledge is key.... and the unwillingness to obtain such knowledge leaves you with but only one joystick to play with.

I love LAMP!

Sorry Champ. I think I ate your chocolate squirrel.

The matrix 2 and 3 were terrible movies.

This thread is akin to walking into a Dodge enthusiast gathering and asking how to build a Charger around an engine, but you don't want to buy a Charger, spend any money, have the engine, have any mechanical ability, tools, or the desire to learn.

That sounds about right...  learning how to build these things and actually carrying out a plan is the best part of this hobby to me... sure, playing the games is fun too but topping my Galaga high score doesn't feel half as good as powering up a cab for the first time and having it actually work...

Amen to that brother!

No doubt ..... I rarely play anything I build or repair ...... I just like to tinker.
I let other people get their giggles from playing.
I just want to bring things to life. (insert muahhahahaha voice)

WHOA!!! this is a huge ass pyramid!!![SNIP]
So, bye, and thanks for the help.  To Arcades.

So you are not going to go for the actual PCB anymore? [SNIP]

Pyramid people, pyramid....
Ugly cabs can only make a better foundation.

Has one of these actually taken up an entire page before?   
Hmmmmmm.........

Not that I know of.... But it looks like we might be going for the record here!!
(did some subtle tydying to improve the shape a bit and get rid of long ass comments messing it up LOL  )

Excellent idea Fozzy. Much prettier now!

SuperShadowRyan: I would definately advise against using an X Arcade for any serious fighting game. Cabinet or not. You need J sticks and convex buttons for good VF action. no joke 

Actually X-Arcade is not really that bad if you considering running multiple system like pc and console.  But yes, ditch those joystick and button that comes with it, just take the interface.

I can only agree with this one... X-Arcade sticks absoultely suck on fighting games. But doing it that way he'd be better off just buying a Keywiz or an IPac. But he's not doing it now anyway, in case he sees something else that he wants his parents to buy him. Go Figure! Teenagers!!

My brain hurts.   

Anyone else feel like watching the mummy?

ROFL I just did....   

I used to watch the mummies quite often ..... oh wait... I'm not supposed to talk about that anymore.   

roflcopter!

Double roflcopter  So come on guys! If we're going for the record Pyramid get posting!

So what is a "ROLFcopter"? I could search on the web, but that wouldn't extend the pyramid.

ROLFcopter   look.... there goes one now!   ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL it's the noise a helicopter makes.... 

http://www.thinkgeek.com/tshirts/generic/887e/

http://www.rofl.name/roflcopter/  Sweet !! 

"Itsy Bitsy ..... Teeny Weeny ..... __________________ "

What a teeny weeny yellow ROFLCopter.... Nahhh! Mine's a HUGE Tank carrying ROFLCopter 

This pyramid is shaping up quyite nicely, but you know it looks more like an hourglass.

That's because it's a "sexy" pyramid.   

It's a Mayan pyramid.

Chewbaka...  the wookie

There was 3 girls, a blonde, a brunette, and a red head. and they found a pyramid. they read a tablet that said "this is the pyramid of 100 steps. if you get to the top of it, you will get what you've wanted all your life. but be warned, every 5 steps a person will pop out and tell a joke, and if you laugh, you can never try again." so the brunette gets to the 5th step and laughs, so she could never try again. the red head got to the 20th step and laughed, so she could never try again. then the blonde got to the 99th step and laughed. then the guy who was going to tell the joke said "why did you laugh, i didnt tell the joke yet." then the blonde said "i know, i laughed because i just got the first joke!"

That is without doubt a ROFLcopter. 

P.S. Christopher Walken Is Weird

I'm getting dizzy scrolling down.   btw: I suspect he's playing Guitar Hero now.

Needs more cowbell.

He mentioned a free PS2 adapter with the X-arcade.. but isnt that a Ps/2 keyboard for PC and NOT a Sony PS2??  also, I highly doubt Med res games work on a supergun RGB to TV converter...  Should've bought the $250 machine!!!

I think we already got past that Brandon.... He's lost interest in doing it at all in case he sees something else that he wants his parents to buy him instead. Two days and the teenager gives up because it's not instant.

Is that really shocking? Kids now are all about instant gratification.

And we didn't even have to walk to school barefoot, uphill, bothways, in the snow....

Just needs to be a few pixels wider.

I guess I was messing up the symmetry...

Nahhh! Looks OK to me...... come on guys, I'm trying to keep this Pyramid going but it's hard work! Lest see a few more posts.

I wish there was a quote button at the bottom.

Still needs more cowbell.

The one problem we have here is that we're eventually going to max out the characters.  At some point, someone should delete a lot of sentences and words.

That sounds like a good job for McCoy. 

pyramid scheme, ftw!

I second that Lew!

Well that totally screwed up the pyramid..... SO UNDONE! The whole point is to try and get a pyramid that fills an entire page. You can't Max Out the Characters the software copes with it.

[Fozzy The Bear]

Make sure you post pics of you playing it tomorrow. 

Heh, its 9 where i live, so you will see pics a a couple days.
but any reccomendations for a Cheap 19" television for my PS2 cab and a cheap monitor for my supergun? Just to get me started?

Define cheap... either way - check out craigslist for the TV

cheap? under 200 bucks. 100 if possible. actually, what size would you recommend for fighting games like virtua fighter and tekken?
You know what? Im just gonna walk into best buy tommorow and see what they got.

65" Mitsubishi big screen.  Also, craigslist.org really is the best route considering that your parents won't let you have the cabinet, I would assume due to cost, and a new t.v. is about half of that cabinet.  Just by a $20 special and have that part done.  A new t.v. isn't going to provide anything else besides a shiny cardboard box to possibly start your cabinet out of.

I just wanted a long ass quote thingy of my very own. Thanks.

I'll tell you what gets to me.  It's when someone messes up the pyramid!

Pyramid FTW! 

This is all getting very Ancient Egyptian now.... I don't know! All this talk of Pyramids  Just thought I'd add to it... Are we going for a record pyramid score here??

Double roflcopter  So come on guys! If we're going for the record Pyramid get posting!

So what is a "ROLFcopter"? I could search on the web, but that wouldn't extend the pyramid.

ROLFcopter   look.... there goes one now!   ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL it's the noise a helicopter makes....

What a teeny weeny yellow ROFLCopter.... Nahhh! Mine's a HUGE Tank carrying ROFLCopter 

This pyramid is shaping up quyite nicely, but you know it looks more like an hourglass.

That's because it's a "sexy" pyramid.   

It's a Mayan pyramid.

Chewbaka...  the wookie

There was 3 girls, a blonde, a brunette, and a red head. and they found a pyramid. they read a tablet that said "this is the pyramid of 100 steps. if you get to the top of it, you will get what you've wanted all your life. but be warned, every 5 steps a person will pop out and tell a joke, and if you laugh, you can never try again." so the brunette gets to the 5th step and laughs, so she could never try again. the red head got to the 20th step and laughed, so she could never try again. then the blonde got to the 99th step and laughed. then the guy who was going to tell the joke said "why did you laugh, i didnt tell the joke yet." then the blonde said "i know, i laughed because i just got the first joke!"

That is without doubt a ROFLcopter. 

P.S. Christopher Walken Is Weird

I'm getting dizzy scrolling down.   btw: I suspect he's playing Guitar Hero now.

Needs more cowbell.

He mentioned a free PS2 adapter with the X-arcade.. but isnt that a Ps/2 keyboard for PC and NOT a Sony PS2??  also, I highly doubt Med res games work on a supergun RGB to TV converter...  Should've bought the $250 machine!!!

I think we already got past that Brandon.... He's lost interest in doing it at all in case he sees something else that he wants his parents to buy him instead. Two days and the teenager gives up because it's not instant.

Is that really shocking? Kids now are all about instant gratification.

And we didn't even have to walk to school barefoot, uphill, bothways, in the snow....

Just needs to be a few pixels wider.

I guess I was messing up the symmetry...

Nahhh! Looks OK to me...... come on guys, I'm trying to keep this Pyramid going but it's hard work! Lest see a few more posts.

I wish there was a quote button at the bottom.

Still needs more cowbell.

The one problem we have here is that we're eventually going to max out the characters.  At some point, someone should delete a lot of sentences and words.

That sounds like a good job for McCoy. 

pyramid scheme, ftw!

I second that Lew!

Well that totally screwed up the pyramid..... SO UNDONE! The whole point is to try and get a pyramid that fills an entire page. You can't Max Out the Characters the software copes with it.

P.S. Christopher Walken Is Still Weird

This is completely retarded.

Utterly retarded I tell you.

[shardian]

Make sure you post pics of you playing it tomorrow. 

Heh, its 9 where i live, so you will see pics a a couple days.
but any reccomendations for a Cheap 19" television for my PS2 cab and a cheap monitor for my supergun? Just to get me started?

Define cheap... either way - check out craigslist for the TV

cheap? under 200 bucks. 100 if possible. actually, what size would you recommend for fighting games like virtua fighter and tekken?
You know what? Im just gonna walk into best buy tommorow and see what they got.

65" Mitsubishi big screen.  Also, craigslist.org really is the best route considering that your parents won't let you have the cabinet, I would assume due to cost, and a new t.v. is about half of that cabinet.  Just by a $20 special and have that part done.  A new t.v. isn't going to provide anything else besides a shiny cardboard box to possibly start your cabinet out of.

I just wanted a long ass quote thingy of my very own. Thanks.

I'll tell you what gets to me.  It's when someone messes up the pyramid!

Pyramid FTW! 

This is all getting very Ancient Egyptian now.... I don't know! All this talk of Pyramids  Just thought I'd add to it... Are we going for a record pyramid score here??

We are a longggggggggggg way off from the record pyramid, that's for sure 

this is true...

I thought pyramids were illegal.. or is that some kind of scheme??

No... you're just confused... It's "Hippies" that are illegal and they're into pyramids as well.

I want to take a day off from work and hang out at Best Buy today just to see the kid walk in with his notepad printout and ask someone there for a 25" TV, and X-Arcade sticks, and a VF2 PCB.

He must be grounded.  He hasn't posted 20 times yet today and it's already past noon.  I'm worried about him.  What time does BestBuy open?

School?

I didn't think of that.  I wonder if he's gonna crap when he sees there are 50 new responses?

you mean 51 responses....

Well, that was just an arbitrary number, but I'll go with it.  Here's to 52!

eleventy twelve

I didn't want get yelled at for breaking the streak 
I didn't think the Supergun worked for Med Res games.  Does it?  Or it can, just not on a regular TV?

I like the 10,000.00 Pyramid.  It's pretty and messmerizing, scroll up and down quickly.

Boobies!

HAS ANYONE SEEN MY KEYS?......THEY'RE ON AN ATARI KEYCHAIN....ANYONE?

Well, since you put it this way.........................NO!  They must be broken!

Just like a Nintendo joystick ....

A little FYI kid,
DO NOT BUY THE TV RIGHT NOW.
GUTTED CABS ARE NOT STANDARD, THEY VARY IN SIZE.
YOU NEED THE CAB FIRST SO YOU CAN KNOW HOW BIG THE TV CAN BE.
Also, best buy does not carry tube anymore.  [SNIP]

Also, search for jamma boards.  Took me 2 minutes to find this one, http://www.coinopexpress.com/products/

No, you can't always get what you want...You can't always get what you want...You can't always get what you want...And if you try sometime you find...You get what you need...

This has got to be a joke. Is this guy really this determined, yet so unwilling to search the web for what he wants?
And DON"T BREAK THE PYRAMID!!!!

Knowledge is key.... and the unwillingness to obtain such knowledge leaves you with but only one joystick to play with.

I love LAMP!

Sorry Champ. I think I ate your chocolate squirrel.

The matrix 2 and 3 were terrible movies.

This thread is akin to walking into a Dodge enthusiast gathering and asking how to build a Charger around an engine, but you don't want to buy a Charger, spend any money, have the engine, have any mechanical ability, tools, or the desire to learn.

That sounds about right...  learning how to build these things and actually carrying out a plan is the best part of this hobby to me... sure, playing the games is fun too but topping my Galaga high score doesn't feel half as good as powering up a cab for the first time and having it actually work...

Amen to that brother!

No doubt ..... I rarely play anything I build or repair ...... I just like to tinker.
I let other people get their giggles from playing.
I just want to bring things to life. (insert muahhahahaha voice)

WHOA!!! this is a huge ass pyramid!!![SNIP]
So, bye, and thanks for the help.  To Arcades.

So you are not going to go for the actual PCB anymore? [SNIP]

Pyramid people, pyramid....
Ugly cabs can only make a better foundation.

Has one of these actually taken up an entire page before?   
Hmmmmmm.........

Not that I know of.... But it looks like we might be going for the record here!!
(did some subtle tydying to improve the shape a bit and get rid of long ass comments messing it up LOL  )

Excellent idea Fozzy. Much prettier now!

SuperShadowRyan: I would definately advise against using an X Arcade for any serious fighting game. Cabinet or not. You need J sticks and convex buttons for good VF action. no joke 

Actually X-Arcade is not really that bad if you considering running multiple system like pc and console.  But yes, ditch those joystick and button that comes with it, just take the interface.

I can only agree with this one... X-Arcade sticks absoultely suck on fighting games. But doing it that way he'd be better off just buying a Keywiz or an IPac. But he's not doing it now anyway, in case he sees something else that he wants his parents to buy him. Go Figure! Teenagers!!

My brain hurts.   

Anyone else feel like watching the mummy?

ROFL I just did....

65" Mitsubishi big screen.  Also, craigslist.org really is the best route considering that your parents won't let you have the cabinet, I would assume due to cost, and a new t.v. is about half of that cabinet.  Just by a $20 special and have that part done.  A new t.v. isn't going to provide anything else besides a shiny cardboard box to possibly start your cabinet out of.

I just wanted a long ass quote thingy of my very own. Thanks.

I'll tell you what gets to me.  It's when someone messes up the pyramid!

Pyramid FTW! 

This is all getting very Ancient Egyptian now.... I don't know! All this talk of Pyramids  Just thought I'd add to it... Are we going for a record pyramid score here??

We are a longggggggggggg way off from the record pyramid, that's for sure 

this is true...

I thought pyramids were illegal.. or is that some kind of scheme??

No... you're just confused... It's "Hippies" that are illegal and they're into pyramids as well.

I want to take a day off from work and hang out at Best Buy today just to see the kid walk in with his notepad printout and ask someone there for a 25" TV, and X-Arcade sticks, and a VF2 PCB.

He must be grounded.  He hasn't posted 20 times yet today and it's already past noon.  I'm worried about him.  What time does BestBuy open?

School?

I didn't think of that.  I wonder if he's gonna crap when he sees there are 50 new responses?

you mean 51 responses....

Well, that was just an arbitrary number, but I'll go with it.  Here's to 52!

eleventy twelve

I didn't want get yelled at for breaking the streak 
I didn't think the Supergun worked for Med Res games.  Does it?  Or it can, just not on a regular TV?

I like the 10,000.00 Pyramid.  It's pretty and messmerizing, scroll up and down quickly.

Boobies!

HAS ANYONE SEEN MY KEYS?......THEY'RE ON AN ATARI KEYCHAIN....ANYONE?

Well, since you put it this way.........................NO!  They must be broken!

Just like a Nintendo joystick ....

A little FYI kid,
DO NOT BUY THE TV RIGHT NOW.
GUTTED CABS ARE NOT STANDARD, THEY VARY IN SIZE.
YOU NEED THE CAB FIRST SO YOU CAN KNOW HOW BIG THE TV CAN BE.
Also, best buy does not carry tube anymore.  [SNIP]

Also, search for jamma boards.  Took me 2 minutes to find this one, http://www.coinopexpress.com/products/

No, you can't always get what you want...You can't always get what you want...You can't always get what you want...And if you try sometime you find...You get what you need...

This has got to be a joke. Is this guy really this determined, yet so unwilling to search the web for what he wants?
And DON"T BREAK THE PYRAMID!!!!

Knowledge is key.... and the unwillingness to obtain such knowledge leaves you with but only one joystick to play with.

I love LAMP!

Sorry Champ. I think I ate your chocolate squirrel.

The matrix 2 and 3 were terrible movies.

This thread is akin to walking into a Dodge enthusiast gathering and asking how to build a Charger around an engine, but you don't want to buy a Charger, spend any money, have the engine, have any mechanical ability, tools, or the desire to learn.

That sounds about right...  learning how to build these things and actually carrying out a plan is the best part of this hobby to me... sure, playing the games is fun too but topping my Galaga high score doesn't feel half as good as powering up a cab for the first time and having it actually work...

Amen to that brother!

No doubt ..... I rarely play anything I build or repair ...... I just like to tinker.
I let other people get their giggles from playing.
I just want to bring things to life. (insert muahhahahaha voice)

WHOA!!! this is a huge ass pyramid!!![SNIP]
So, bye, and thanks for the help.  To Arcades.

So you are not going to go for the actual PCB anymore? [SNIP]

Pyramid people, pyramid....
Ugly cabs can only make a better foundation.

Has one of these actually taken up an entire page before?   
Hmmmmmm.........

Not that I know of.... But it looks like we might be going for the record here!!
(did some subtle tydying to improve the shape a bit and get rid of long ass comments messing it up LOL  )

Excellent idea Fozzy. Much prettier now!

SuperShadowRyan: I would definately advise against using an X Arcade for any serious fighting game. Cabinet or not. You need J sticks and convex buttons for good VF action. no joke 

Actually X-Arcade is not really that bad if you considering running multiple system like pc and console.  But yes, ditch those joystick and button that comes with it, just take the interface.

I can only agree with this one... X-Arcade sticks absoultely suck on fighting games. But doing it that way he'd be better off just buying a Keywiz or an IPac. But he's not doing it now anyway, in case he sees something else that he wants his parents to buy him. Go Figure! Teenagers!!

My brain hurts.   

Anyone else feel like watching the mummy?

ROFL I just did....   

I used to watch the mummies quite often ..... oh wait... I'm not supposed to talk about that anymore.   

roflcopter!

Double roflcopter  So come on guys! If we're going for the record Pyramid get posting!

So what is a "ROLFcopter"? I could search on the web, but that wouldn't extend the pyramid.

ROLFcopter   look.... there goes one now!   ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL it's the noise a helicopter makes.... 

http://www.thinkgeek.com/tshirts/generic/887e/

http://www.rofl.name/roflcopter/  Sweet !! 

"Itsy Bitsy ..... Teeny Weeny ..... __________________ "

What a teeny weeny yellow ROFLCopter.... Nahhh! Mine's a HUGE Tank carrying ROFLCopter 

This pyramid is shaping up quyite nicely, but you know it looks more like an hourglass.

That's because it's a "sexy" pyramid.   

It's a Mayan pyramid.

Chewbaka...  the wookie

There was 3 girls, a blonde, a brunette, and a red head. and they found a pyramid. they read a tablet that said "this is the pyramid of 100 steps. if you get to the top of it, you will get what you've wanted all your life. but be warned, every 5 steps a person will pop out and tell a joke, and if you laugh, you can never try again." so the brunette gets to the 5th step and laughs, so she could never try again. the red head got to the 20th step and laughed, so she could never try again. then the blonde got to the 99th step and laughed. then the guy who was going to tell the joke said "why did you laugh, i didnt tell the joke yet." then the blonde said "i know, i laughed because i just got the first joke!"

That is without doubt a ROFLcopter. 

P.S. Christopher Walken Is Weird

I'm getting dizzy scrolling down.   btw: I suspect he's playing Guitar Hero now.

Needs more cowbell.

He mentioned a free PS2 adapter with the X-arcade.. but isnt that a Ps/2 keyboard for PC and NOT a Sony PS2??  also, I highly doubt Med res games work on a supergun RGB to TV converter...  Should've bought the $250 machine!!!

I think we already got past that Brandon.... He's lost interest in doing it at all in case he sees something else that he wants his parents to buy him instead. Two days and the teenager gives up because it's not instant.

Is that really shocking? Kids now are all about instant gratification.

And we didn't even have to walk to school barefoot, uphill, bothways, in the snow....

Just needs to be a few pixels wider.

I guess I was messing up the symmetry...

Nahhh! Looks OK to me...... come on guys, I'm trying to keep this Pyramid going but it's hard work! Lest see a few more posts.

I wish there was a quote button at the bottom.

Still needs more cowbell.

The one problem we have here is that we're eventually going to max out the characters.  At some point, someone should delete a lot of sentences and words.

That sounds like a good job for McCoy. 

pyramid scheme, ftw!

I second that Lew!

Well that totally screwed up the pyramid..... SO UNDONE! The whole point is to try and get a pyramid that fills an entire page. You can't Max Out the Characters the software copes with it.

P.S. Christopher Walken Is Still Weird

This is completely retarded.

Utterly retarded I tell you.

Wow you all have absolutely no life.

...

Hey, this IS pretty fun after all!

[brandon]

why can't we have a smiley doing the "cabbage patch"?

[Green Giant]

Make sure you post pics of you playing it tomorrow. 

Heh, its 9 where i live, so you will see pics a a couple days.
but any reccomendations for a Cheap 19" television for my PS2 cab and a cheap monitor for my supergun? Just to get me started?

Define cheap... either way - check out craigslist for the TV

cheap? under 200 bucks. 100 if possible. actually, what size would you recommend for fighting games like virtua fighter and tekken?

I let other people get their giggles from playing.
I just want to bring things to life. (insert muahhahahaha voice)

WHOA!!! this is a huge ass pyramid!!![SNIP]
So, bye, and thanks for the help.  To Arcades.

So you are not going to go for the actual PCB anymore? [SNIP]

Pyramid people, pyramid....
Ugly cabs can only make a better foundation.

Has one of these actually taken up an entire page before?   
Hmmmmmm.........

Not that I know of.... But it looks like we might be going for the record here!!
(did some subtle tydying to improve the shape a bit and get rid of long ass comments messing it up LOL  )

Excellent idea Fozzy. Much prettier now!

SuperShadowRyan: I would definately advise against using an X Arcade for any serious fighting game. Cabinet or not. You need J sticks and convex buttons for good VF action. no joke 

Actually X-Arcade is not really that bad if you considering running multiple system like pc and console.  But yes, ditch those joystick and button that comes with it, just take the interface.

I can only agree with this one... X-Arcade sticks absoultely suck on fighting games. But doing it that way he'd be better off just buying a Keywiz or an IPac. But he's not doing it now anyway, in case he sees something else that he wants his parents to buy him. Go Figure! Teenagers!!

My brain hurts.   

Anyone else feel like watching the mummy?

ROFL I just did....   

I used to watch the mummies quite often ..... oh wait... I'm not supposed to talk about that anymore.   

roflcopter!

Double roflcopter  So come on guys! If we're going for the record Pyramid get posting!

So what is a "ROLFcopter"? I could search on the web, but that wouldn't extend the pyramid.

ROLFcopter   look.... there goes one now!   ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL it's the noise a helicopter makes....

What a teeny weeny yellow ROFLCopter.... Nahhh! Mine's a HUGE Tank carrying ROFLCopter 

This pyramid is shaping up quyite nicely, but you know it looks more like an hourglass.

That's because it's a "sexy" pyramid.   

It's a Mayan pyramid.

Chewbaka...  the wookie

There was 3 girls, a blonde, a brunette, and a red head. and they found a pyramid. they read a tablet that said "this is the pyramid of 100 steps. if you get to the top of it, you will get what you've wanted all your life. but be warned, every 5 steps a person will pop out and tell a joke, and if you laugh, you can never try again." so the brunette gets to the 5th step and laughs, so she could never try again. the red head got to the 20th step and laughed, so she could never try again. then the blonde got to the 99th step and laughed. then the guy who was going to tell the joke said "why did you laugh, i didnt tell the joke yet." then the blonde said "i know, i laughed because i just got the first joke!"

That is without doubt a ROFLcopter. 

P.S. Christopher Walken Is Weird

I'm getting dizzy scrolling down.   btw: I suspect he's playing Guitar Hero now.

Needs more cowbell.

He mentioned a free PS2 adapter with the X-arcade.. but isnt that a Ps/2 keyboard for PC and NOT a Sony PS2??  also, I highly doubt Med res games work on a supergun RGB to TV converter...  Should've bought the $250 machine!!!

I think we already got past that Brandon.... He's lost interest in doing it at all in case he sees something else that he wants his parents to buy him instead. Two days and the teenager gives up because it's not instant.

Is that really shocking? Kids now are all about instant gratification.

And we didn't even have to walk to school barefoot, uphill, bothways, in the snow....

Just needs to be a few pixels wider.

I guess I was messing up the symmetry...

Nahhh! Looks OK to me...... come on guys, I'm trying to keep this Pyramid going but it's hard work! Lest see a few more posts.

I wish there was a quote button at the bottom.

Still needs more cowbell.

The one problem we have here is that we're eventually going to max out the characters.  At some point, someone should delete a lot of sentences and words.

That sounds like a good job for McCoy. 

pyramid scheme, ftw!

I second that Lew!

Well that totally screwed up the pyramid..... SO UNDONE! The whole point is to try and get a pyramid that fills an entire page. You can't Max Out the Characters the software copes with it.

P.S. Christopher Walken Is Still Weird

This is completely retarded.

Utterly retarded I tell you.

Wow you all have absolutely no life.

And yet you proceed to add more foundation........

Utterly and completely retarded and Christopher Walken Is Still Weird.... still Needs more Cowbell.... Roflcopter

It looks...

[Dudeman]

Make sure you post pics of you playing it tomorrow. 

Heh, its 9 where i live, so you will see pics a a couple days.
but any reccomendations for a Cheap 19" television for my PS2 cab and a cheap monitor for my supergun? Just to get me started?

Define cheap... either way - check out craigslist for the TV

cheap? under 200 bucks. 100 if possible. actually, what size would you recommend for fighting games like virtua fighter and tekken?
You know what? Im just gonna walk into best buy tommorow and see what they got.

65" Mitsubishi big screen.  Also, craigslist.org really is the best route considering that your parents won't let you have the cabinet, I would assume due to cost, and a new t.v. is about half of that cabinet.  Just by a $20 special and have that part done.  A new t.v. isn't going to provide anything else besides a shiny cardboard box to possibly start your cabinet out of.

I just wanted a long ass quote thingy of my very own. Thanks.

I'll tell you what gets to me.  It's when someone messes up the pyramid!

Pyramid FTW! 

This is all getting very Ancient Egyptian now.... I don't know! All this talk of Pyramids  Just thought I'd add to it... Are we going for a record pyramid score here??

We are a longggggggggggg way off from the record pyramid, that's for sure 

this is true...

I thought pyramids were illegal.. or is that some kind of scheme??

No... you're just confused... It's "Hippies" that are illegal and they're into pyramids as well.

I want to take a day off from work and hang out at Best Buy today just to see the kid walk in with his notepad printout and ask someone there for a 25" TV, and X-Arcade sticks, and a VF2 PCB.

He must be grounded.  He hasn't posted 20 times yet today and it's already past noon.  I'm worried about him.  What time does BestBuy open?

School?

I didn't think of that.  I wonder if he's gonna crap when he sees there are 50 new responses?

you mean 51 responses....

Well, that was just an arbitrary number, but I'll go with it.  Here's to 52!

eleventy twelve

I didn't want get yelled at for breaking the streak 
I didn't think the Supergun worked for Med Res games.  Does it?  Or it can, just not on a regular TV?

I like the 10,000.00 Pyramid.  It's pretty and messmerizing, scroll up and down quickly.

Boobies!

HAS ANYONE SEEN MY KEYS?......THEY'RE ON AN ATARI KEYCHAIN....ANYONE?

Well, since you put it this way.........................NO!  They must be broken!

Just like a Nintendo joystick ....

A little FYI kid,
DO NOT BUY THE TV RIGHT NOW.
GUTTED CABS ARE NOT STANDARD, THEY VARY IN SIZE.
YOU NEED THE CAB FIRST SO YOU CAN KNOW HOW BIG THE TV CAN BE.
Also, best buy does not carry tube anymore.  [SNIP]

Also, search for jamma boards.  Took me 2 minutes to find this one, http://www.coinopexpress.com/products/

No, you can't always get what you want...You can't always get what you want...You can't always get what you want...And if you try sometime you find...You get what you need...

This has got to be a joke. Is this guy really this determined, yet so unwilling to search the web for what he wants?
And DON"T BREAK THE PYRAMID!!!!

Knowledge is key.... and the unwillingness to obtain such knowledge leaves you with but only one joystick to play with.

I love LAMP!

Sorry Champ. I think I ate your chocolate squirrel.

The matrix 2 and 3 were terrible movies.

This thread is akin to walking into a Dodge enthusiast gathering and asking how to build a Charger around an engine, but you don't want to buy a Charger, spend any money, have the engine, have any mechanical ability, tools, or the desire to learn.

That sounds about right...  learning how to build these things and actually carrying out a plan is the best part of this hobby to me... sure, playing the games is fun too but topping my Galaga high score doesn't feel half as good as powering up a cab for the first time and having it actually work...

Amen to that brother!

I think we already got past that Brandon.... He's lost interest in doing it at all in case he sees something else that he wants his parents to buy him instead. Two days and the teenager gives up because it's not instant.

Is that really shocking? Kids now are all about instant gratification.

And we didn't even have to walk to school barefoot, uphill, bothways, in the snow....

Just needs to be a few pixels wider.

I guess I was messing up the symmetry...

Nahhh! Looks OK to me...... come on guys, I'm trying to keep this Pyramid going but it's hard work! Lest see a few more posts.

I wish there was a quote button at the bottom.

Still needs more cowbell.

The one problem we have here is that we're eventually going to max out the characters.  At some point, someone should delete a lot of sentences and words.

That sounds like a good job for McCoy. 

pyramid scheme, ftw!

I second that Lew!

Well that totally screwed up the pyramid..... SO UNDONE! The whole point is to try and get a pyramid that fills an entire page. You can't Max Out the Characters the software copes with it.

P.S. Christopher Walken Is Still Weird

This is completely retarded.

Utterly retarded I tell you.

Wow you all have absolutely no life.

And yet you proceed to add more foundation........

Utterly and completely retarded and Christopher Walken Is Still Weird.... still Needs more Cowbell.... Roflcopter

It looks

like we need...

25 times as many...

posts to make...

[Dudeman]

Make sure you post pics of you playing it tomorrow. 

Heh, its 9 where i live, so you will see pics a a couple days.
but any reccomendations for a Cheap 19" television for my PS2 cab and a cheap monitor for my supergun? Just to get me started?

Define cheap... either way - check out craigslist for the TV

cheap? under 200 bucks. 100 if possible. actually, what size would you recommend for fighting games like virtua fighter and tekken?
You know what? Im just gonna walk into best buy tommorow and see what they got.

65" Mitsubishi big screen.  Also, craigslist.org really is the best route considering that your parents won't let you have the cabinet, I would assume due to cost, and a new t.v. is about half of that cabinet.  Just by a $20 special and have that part done.  A new t.v. isn't going to provide anything else besides a shiny cardboard box to possibly start your cabinet out of.

I just wanted a long ass quote thingy of my very own. Thanks.

I'll tell you what gets to me.  It's when someone messes up the pyramid!

Pyramid FTW! 

This is all getting very Ancient Egyptian now.... I don't know! All this talk of Pyramids  Just thought I'd add to it... Are we going for a record pyramid score here??

We are a longggggggggggg way off from the record pyramid, that's for sure 

this is true...

I thought pyramids were illegal.. or is that some kind of scheme??

No... you're just confused... It's "Hippies" that are illegal and they're into pyramids as well.

I want to take a day off from work and hang out at Best Buy today just to see the kid walk in with his notepad printout and ask someone there for a 25" TV, and X-Arcade sticks, and a VF2 PCB.

He must be grounded.  He hasn't posted 20 times yet today and it's already past noon.  I'm worried about him.  What time does BestBuy open?

School?

I didn't think of that.  I wonder if he's gonna crap when he sees there are 50 new responses?

you mean 51 responses....

Well, that was just an arbitrary number, but I'll go with it.  Here's to 52!

eleventy twelve

I didn't want get yelled at for breaking the streak 
I didn't think the Supergun worked for Med Res games.  Does it?  Or it can, just not on a regular TV?

I like the 10,000.00 Pyramid.  It's pretty and messmerizing, scroll up and down quickly.

Boobies!

HAS ANYONE SEEN MY KEYS?......THEY'RE ON AN ATARI KEYCHAIN....ANYONE?

Well, since you put it this way.........................NO!  They must be broken!

Just like a Nintendo joystick ....

A little FYI kid,
DO NOT BUY THE TV RIGHT NOW.
GUTTED CABS ARE NOT STANDARD, THEY VARY IN SIZE.
YOU NEED THE CAB FIRST SO YOU CAN KNOW HOW BIG THE TV CAN BE.
Also, best buy does not carry tube anymore.  [SNIP]

Also, search for jamma boards.  Took me 2 minutes to find this one, http://www.coinopexpress.com/products/

No, you can't always get what you want...You can't always get what you want...You can't always get what you want...And if you try sometime you find...You get what you need...

This has got to be a joke. Is this guy really this determined, yet so unwilling to search the web for what he wants?
And DON"T BREAK THE PYRAMID!!!!

Knowledge is key.... and the unwillingness to obtain such knowledge leaves you with but only one joystick to play with.

I love LAMP!

Sorry Champ. I think I ate your chocolate squirrel.

The matrix 2 and 3 were terrible movies.

This thread is akin to walking into a Dodge enthusiast gathering and asking how to build a Charger around an engine, but you don't want to buy a Charger, spend any money, have the engine, have any mechanical ability, tools, or the desire to learn.

That sounds about right...  learning how to build these things and actually carrying out a plan is the best part of this hobby to me... sure, playing the games is fun too but topping my Galaga high score doesn't feel half as good as powering up a cab for the first time and having it actually work...

Amen to that brother!

No doubt ..... I rarely play anything I build or repair ...... I just like to tinker.
I let other people get their giggles from playing.
I just want to bring things to life. (insert muahhahahaha voice)

WHOA!!! this is a huge ass pyramid!!![SNIP]
So, bye, and thanks for the help.  To Arcades.

So you are not going to go for the actual PCB anymore? [SNIP]

Pyramid people, pyramid....
Ugly cabs can only make a better foundation.

Has one of these actually taken up an entire page before?   
Hmmmmmm.........

Not that I know of.... But it looks like we might be going for the record here!!
(did some subtle tydying to improve the shape a bit and get rid of long ass comments messing it up LOL  )

Excellent idea Fozzy. Much prettier now!

SuperShadowRyan: I would definately advise against using an X Arcade for any serious fighting game. Cabinet or not. You need J sticks and convex buttons for good VF action. no joke 

Actually X-Arcade is not really that bad if you considering running multiple system like pc and console.  But yes, ditch those joystick and button that comes with it, just take the interface.

I can only agree with this one... X-Arcade sticks absoultely suck on fighting games. But doing it that way he'd be better off just buying a Keywiz or an IPac. But he's not doing it now anyway, in case he sees something else that he wants his parents to buy him. Go Figure! Teenagers!!

My brain hurts.   

Anyone else feel like watching the mummy?

ROFL I just did....   

I used to watch the mummies quite often ..... oh wait... I'm not supposed to talk about that anymore.   

roflcopter!

Double roflcopter  So come on guys! If we're going for the record Pyramid get posting!

So what is a "ROLFcopter"? I could search on the web, but that wouldn't extend the pyramid.

ROLFcopter   look.... there goes one now!   ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL it's the noise a helicopter makes....

What a teeny weeny yellow ROFLCopter.... Nahhh! Mine's a HUGE Tank carrying ROFLCopter 

This pyramid is shaping up quyite nicely, but you know it looks more like an hourglass.

That's because it's a "sexy" pyramid.   

It's a Mayan pyramid.

Chewbaka...  the wookie

There was 3 girls, a blonde, a brunette, and a red head. and they found a pyramid. they read a tablet that said "this is the pyramid of 100 steps. if you get to the top of it, you will get what you've wanted all your life. but be warned, every 5 steps a person will pop out and tell a joke, and if you laugh, you can never try again." so the brunette gets to the 5th step and laughs, so she could never try again. the red head got to the 20th step and laughed, so she could never try again. then the blonde got to the 99th step and laughed. then the guy who was going to tell the joke said "why did you laugh, i didnt tell the joke yet." then the blonde said "i know, i laughed because i just got the first joke!"

That is without doubt a ROFLcopter. 

P.S. Christopher Walken Is Weird

I'm getting dizzy scrolling down.   btw: I suspect he's playing Guitar Hero now.

We are a longggggggggggg way off from the record pyramid, that's for sure 

this is true...

I thought pyramids were illegal.. or is that some kind of scheme??

No... you're just confused... It's "Hippies" that are illegal and they're into pyramids as well.

I want to take a day off from work and hang out at Best Buy today just to see the kid walk in with his notepad printout and ask someone there for a 25" TV, and X-Arcade sticks, and a VF2 PCB.

He must be grounded.  He hasn't posted 20 times yet today and it's already past noon.  I'm worried about him.  What time does BestBuy open?

School?

I didn't think of that.  I wonder if he's gonna crap when he sees there are 50 new responses?

you mean 51 responses....

Well, that was just an arbitrary number, but I'll go with it.  Here's to 52!

eleventy twelve

I didn't want get yelled at for breaking the streak 
I didn't think the Supergun worked for Med Res games.  Does it?  Or it can, just not on a regular TV?

I like the 10,000.00 Pyramid.  It's pretty and messmerizing, scroll up and down quickly.

Boobies!

HAS ANYONE SEEN MY KEYS?......THEY'RE ON AN ATARI KEYCHAIN....ANYONE?

Well, since you put it this way.........................NO!  They must be broken!

Just like a Nintendo joystick ....

A little FYI kid,
DO NOT BUY THE TV RIGHT NOW.
GUTTED CABS ARE NOT STANDARD, THEY VARY IN SIZE.
YOU NEED THE CAB FIRST SO YOU CAN KNOW HOW BIG THE TV CAN BE.
Also, best buy does not carry tube anymore.  [SNIP]

Also, search for jamma boards.  Took me 2 minutes to find this one, http://www.coinopexpress.com/products/

No, you can't always get what you want...You can't always get what you want...You can't always get what you want...And if you try sometime you find...You get what you need...

This has got to be a joke. Is this guy really this determined, yet so unwilling to search the web for what he wants?
And DON"T BREAK THE PYRAMID!!!!

Knowledge is key.... and the unwillingness to obtain such knowledge leaves you with but only one joystick to play with.

I love LAMP!

Sorry Champ. I think I ate your chocolate squirrel.

The matrix 2 and 3 were terrible movies.

This thread is akin to walking into a Dodge enthusiast gathering and asking how to build a Charger around an engine, but you don't want to buy a Charger, spend any money, have the engine, have any mechanical ability, tools, or the desire to learn.

That sounds about right...  learning how to build these things and actually carrying out a plan is the best part of this hobby to me... sure, playing the games is fun too but topping my Galaga high score doesn't feel half as good as powering up a cab for the first time and having it actually work...

Amen to that brother!

No doubt ..... I rarely play anything I build or repair ...... I just like to tinker.
I let other people get their giggles from playing.
I just want to bring things to life. (insert muahhahahaha voice)

WHOA!!! this is a huge ass pyramid!!![SNIP]
So, bye, and thanks for the help.  To Arcades.

So you are not going to go for the actual PCB anymore? [SNIP]

Pyramid people, pyramid....
Ugly cabs can only make a better foundation.

Has one of these actually taken up an entire page before?   
Hmmmmmm.........

Not that I know of.... But it looks like we might be going for the record here!!
(did some subtle tydying to improve the shape a bit and get rid of long ass comments messing it up LOL  )

Excellent idea Fozzy. Much prettier now!

SuperShadowRyan: I would definately advise against using an X Arcade for any serious fighting game. Cabinet or not. You need J sticks and convex buttons for good VF action. no joke 

Actually X-Arcade is not really that bad if you considering running multiple system like pc and console.  But yes, ditch those joystick and button that comes with it, just take the interface.

I can only agree with this one... X-Arcade sticks absoultely suck on fighting games. But doing it that way he'd be better off just buying a Keywiz or an IPac. But he's not doing it now anyway, in case he sees something else that he wants his parents to buy him. Go Figure! Teenagers!!

My brain hurts.   

Anyone else feel like watching the mummy?

ROFL I just did....   

I used to watch the mummies quite often ..... oh wait... I'm not supposed to talk about that anymore.   

roflcopter!

Double roflcopter  So come on guys! If we're going for the record Pyramid get posting!

So what is a "ROLFcopter"? I could search on the web, but that wouldn't extend the pyramid.

ROLFcopter   look.... there goes one now!   ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL it's the noise a helicopter makes....

"Itsy Bitsy ..... Teeny Weeny ..... __________________ "

What a teeny weeny yellow ROFLCopter.... Nahhh! Mine's a HUGE Tank carrying ROFLCopter 

This pyramid is shaping up quyite nicely, but you know it looks more like an hourglass.

That's because it's a "sexy" pyramid.   

It's a Mayan pyramid.

Chewbaka...  the wookie

There was 3 girls, a blonde, a brunette, and a red head. and they found a pyramid. they read a tablet that said "this is the pyramid of 100 steps. if you get to the top of it, you will get what you've wanted all your life. but be warned, every 5 steps a person will pop out and tell a joke, and if you laugh, you can never try again." so the brunette gets to the 5th step and laughs, so she could never try again. the red head got to the 20th step and laughed, so she could never try again. then the blonde got to the 99th step and laughed. then the guy who was going to tell the joke said "why did you laugh, i didnt tell the joke yet." then the blonde said "i know, i laughed because i just got the first joke!"

That is without doubt a ROFLcopter. 

P.S. Christopher Walken Is Weird

I'm getting dizzy scrolling down.   btw: I suspect he's playing Guitar Hero now.

Needs more cowbell.

He mentioned a free PS2 adapter with the X-arcade.. but isnt that a Ps/2 keyboard for PC and NOT a Sony PS2??  also, I highly doubt Med res games work on a supergun RGB to TV converter...  Should've bought the $250 machine!!!

I think we already got past that Brandon.... He's lost interest in doing it at all in case he sees something else that he wants his parents to buy him instead. Two days and the teenager gives up because it's not instant.

Is that really shocking? Kids now are all about instant gratification.

And we didn't even have to walk to school barefoot, uphill, bothways, in the snow....

Just needs to be a few pixels wider.

I guess I was messing up the symmetry...

Nahhh! Looks OK to me...... come on guys, I'm trying to keep this Pyramid going but it's hard work! Lest see a few more posts.

I wish there was a quote button at the bottom.

Still needs more cowbell.

The one problem we have here is that we're eventually going to max out the characters.  At some point, someone should delete a lot of sentences and words.

That sounds like a good job for McCoy. 

pyramid scheme, ftw!

I second that Lew!

Well that totally screwed up the pyramid..... SO UNDONE! The whole point is to try and get a pyramid that fills an entire page. You can't Max Out the Characters the software copes with it.

P.S. Christopher Walken Is Still Weird

This is completely retarded.

Utterly retarded I tell you.

Wow you all have absolutely no life.

And yet you proceed to add more foundation........

Utterly and completely retarded and Christopher Walken Is Still Weird.... still Needs more Cowbell.... Roflcopter

It looks

like we need...

25 times as many...

posts to make...

a whole page!

I'm hopping on this bandwagon. Sniff...snifff...I smell derailment...mmmm....good times...good times...
(Dang it, I swear I hit the quote button....)

Adding my quote for the day, everyone else try and get at least one a day.  We are talking records here people.

My latest quote....."10 days without power sucks" .... but the pyramid grows .... woohoo !!
