So This Thread is the official thread. Post your photos from the event, links to your videos, comments, everything. I've asked the mods to lock the other thread since it was a roll up to this one. The future is now!
-
Oh, and Ond is pretty much the badass you would expect him to be. I wasn't disappointed!
-
Ond brought me these awesome flip flops from down under...

I hear you, brother. By the time we finished loading Arcadenut's truck, got my stuff home, had dinner, unloaded his stuff, got Harvey and VWbus back to the hotel in Mesa, and then got myself home, I didn't go to bed till 1:30. Then I had to get up at 6 for work.

I'm going to post a very thorough, more detailed breakdown of the weekend later, but I just wanted to say I really appreciate all you guys and ladies coming out to hang out with us Phoenicians at our little arcade show. I'm quite chuffed that you would spend your time and money to come and play video games, run around, and just generally socialize with us arcade Misfits. To me, the beauty is seeing you guys from out of state, country even, mingling with the local friends I have in this hobby. We have a great Community here in Phoenix. We look out for each other, we don't compete with each other, and we help each other out. And to see you guys interacting like that, well, it makes it all worth it to me. I really am looking forward to seeing you guys again. I would love to be greedy and say see you guys next year, but if you guys make it out every couple years, I'd be the happiest mofo in the city of Phoenix. I look forward to you coming out in the future with your families and enjoying what our city has to offer, and not just when it comes to videogames.

Some of my favorite ZapCon 2016 moments...
Playing ThunderJaws with Vigo and not being able to stop laughing at how ambiguously gay the character sprites are.
Neph loosing his cheese to the pavement gods at the Monestary.
Watching Aceldamor and Yotsuya devastate what I thought was a decent Black Widow score I put up at Starfighters.
Keeping my name on the Raiden Fighters scoring table all weekend.
Ond telling me why he loved Star Wars 7
Forcing retrogreg to have another beer so I could get a badge.
Meeting Brien and Jawhn.
Going to play Train in Vain on the Casa de Yotsuya touchscreen Juke but listening to West End Girls instead because it came on right as I was about to select and I was like, well that's actually pretty cool too...
Circling the Sky Harbor teminals... "Are you wearing Neon Yellow Shoes?!?!?"
Oh and taking this selfie....

Actually, subscribe to his channel and give him your support. I was impressed at how serious DeL takes his craft. Can't wait to see the Casa de Yotsuya footage!

The happy looks on everyone's face I noticed when they were playing games, it was totally noticeable every where I walked around this weekend.

Playing Killer Queen with the group.
Showing people the hidden level in Zapcon the game and hearing them cackle as much as I did the first time I saw it.

My Zapcon Highlights:
Realizing Neph only wears black
The group photo..It honestly didn't hit me how many of us were there until we grouped up for the photo
Kicking it with Malenko in Haruman's booth just talkin' ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---
Running around with Jawhn and Yots burning free play roms on DK Jr @ midnight Friday night.
Talking woodworking with Yots on some projects.
In and Out burger with Ond, just talking about cultural differences and campy late 80's early 90's sci-fi movies
Being done with the loading before Yots and the loading crew showed up. ::)
Walking around Zapcon and seeing Harvey B's dedication to Raiden....then chattin him up about Zback cabs, and that apparently his #jorts were a wee bit snug
Not getting my order correct at the Monistary because of the sheer about of people that came Fri. night the poor waitress couldn't keep up.
Getting snubbed by Del
the Aircraft Carrier CP boss.....
"I <3 Kade"

Hey, it's what I do for a living so it's in my blood. This one won't be broadcast on History channel though. Although it really should... 'cause we made history at Zapcon, that's for sure.

Just a few of my highlights:
After checking into the hotel, stealthily walking around the back side of the convention center and peaking in at all the games.
When everyone arrived at the Monastery and realizing we were a crowd of 30+ people. Wow!
The odd feeling of talking to another guy about arcade controls without his eyes rolling back into his head.
Experiencing Startfighters, that place is seriously awesome. Any arcade enthusiast coming to Phoenix needs to make it to this place.
Watching my daughter run back and forth from one end of the hotel room to the other so she could alternate between looking at herself in the mirror and playing with the swivel chair.
Waking up early Saturday morning so we could be in line by 9:00am.
Seeing the back of a least one BYOAC t-shirt every time I'd look down a row of games.
Showing some of the younger attendees how to bring a dead pin back to life.
Danger Dann giving Matilda the cool vintage Qbert plush and taking a bunch of pictures with him later on.
Taking a two hour family nap in the hotel room Saturday afternoon.
Us all going to IN-N-OUT so Ond could experience awesomeness for the first time in his sheltered Australian life. There were some great conversations going on there too!
Clearing Macross with my wife Saturday night after my daughter fell asleep.
-
Oh yeah, and having the Full Sail rep give us free beer at the Monastery for being from San Diego.
-
This deserves a kick in the nuts.....
If P4 and P3 want to go right they push up ??? ??? :banghead:
Yeah - that drove me BONKERS! What's worse than angled sticks? 90 degree rotated stick!!! :angry:
-
Just a few of my highlights:
Clearing Macross with my wife Saturday night after my daughter fell asleep.
Wow, I haven't even done that with MY wife.....
Thanks for the bottle of gin, my friend! Looking forward to next year...

Ok, 2 more vids have been uploaded to the channel. I worked on these first as a thank you to Yotsuya, who was an awesome ambassador at Zapcon! Those were awesome machines!

It was great fun, DeL. Glad you made it this year!

I'll post pix tomorrow. Sitting at Sky harbor waiting to board.
For the record, Malenko is a big ol' teddy bear. I hope delusional posts the selfie they took together.
If its on the internet, it must be true!
Ok so my highlights:
Meeting everyone Yots, Haruman, Vigo, Ond + Susan, Neph, Harvey, VJ, etc were all as awesome as I thought they'd be
StarFire was awesome
Got to eat In and Out Burger again
Both going 9-1 on Killer Queen with my fellow BYOACers, and getting ROFL stomped playing with Vigo , the brat , and the fat kid. Sub highlight, when Vigo thought I made the brat cry in the lobby.
Drawing dickbutt on Yot's poster / him getting me back with "I <3 X2" and "BUY A KADE!"
Seeing how much everyone couldnt finish / HATED the "Malenko frogger level" in the Zapcon game, especially "notTHAT Jennifer"
Telling racist / pedophile jokes at Diamonds with Neph, Vigo, and OND. Worst Service ever.
TACO.TOWN.CHARLIE.
Sleeping on Haruman's couch
Elvira.
Watching everyone earn their PBJ badges.
Yelling "Canada is America's hat" during the group photoshoot.
getting my "official" UCA award from Yots
-
I was really impressed how people got excited about the badges. It was just a little idea I had, and it really turned out to be probably the most team-building thing throughout the whole weekend. People were actively helping people earn badges by doing things like setting up photo bombs and stuff like that.
-
Oh, and I'll be releasing the ZapCon the Game for you guys tomorrow. Now that Delusional posted the video he made, I'm kind of busy today but I'll get it uploaded tomorrow.
-
Still looking for the time to post my big review of the weekend. I will say for me personally, one of the highlights of having guys who I have known a long time on this board in my Gameroom, playing my games. We had a lot to do and I wish there was time to just hang out and play games and shoot the breeze, but I'll take the minutes we got.

I wonder how long it took Elvira to start thinking to herself "I wonder how many more of these BYOACers I have to endure?" >:D

Suzi and I just crawled through our front door.... What a great ZapCon capped off with a great day spent with Pixelhugger in LA.
Eaaarghh I'm off to get some sleep. NOW.

Best weekend I've had in a long time. :D
In no particular order, some highlights for me:
Getting to put faces and names to the regular crew here. It's a cool feeling, to run into a bunch of strangers who aren't strangers.
Hanging out with RetroGreg, Melvinbates, Yotsuya and Jawhn at Monastery. Great company, and it was good to have the chance to meet people before the con really got underway.
Starfighters. I think I was actually even more impressed by them than the main Zapcon floor - sure, it was smaller, but the games they had out were just an encyclopedia of my all time favorites. If I was a local, I'd be there all the time.
Meeting Jawhn. Getting edged out 7-6 in a tightly fought Space War game, by Jawhn. Getting categorically out-smack-talked by Jawhn during said game, which likely contributed to his victory.
Handling a piece of Ond's retro-futurist cabinet, and him good naturedly laughing off my awestruck reaction to it.
Getting such a big welcome from Yotsuya, and all the work he clearly put into making sure that everybody had a good time at this. Thanks, man.
Seeing the legion of BYOAC shirts *everywhere*.
Getting the chance to see how my cab compares to the originals, in detail.
Talking about cabinet design and the future of the hobby with vwalbridge.
Meeting Slippyblade and his family, and hanging with them at the In and Out. That is a guy who knows where his towel is.
Malenko's hilarious razzing over the Frogger level. A+, would get trolled again.
TLDR: That was great. Thanks, to all of you.

Tell NotTHATJennifer that Jawhn wore his Walter White outfit on Sunday...

Sorry we had to bail on Sunday. Daughter was having abdominal pains and we were worried about appendicitis due to severity and location. Spent most of Sunday in the ER waiting on tests. Thankfully it was "just" a pulled abdominal muscle. Incredibly painful, but not dangerous.
So awesome meeting all of you people. Always weird seeing real faces attached to board names.
NotTHATJennifer needs to get an account and quit lurking.
Laythe, so cool to meet you and fanboy about your build.
Vigo, WAY younger than I assumed. Was cool introducing the wife to you. I've built a Vigolix and told her about the dream that inspired it, so she was curious who you were.
-
One day we'll get you in the photo, Slippy.
-
I *almost* made it this year. If I hadn't walked half a mile in the WRONG direction from the train stop, I'd have been on time. Next year... Next year will be different. I intend to have at least one build on the floor, if not more. I also intend to make it for the Friday night festivities. I'm starting a new job in a couple weeks that pays significantly better than my current - so it's possible!

We were talking about photoshoping me into the group photo for shits and giggles.

Just want add to to the Thank Yous for welcoming even the quietest of members to the fun that is ZapCon. Extra big thanks to Yots for keeping us busy earning crazy badges all weekend, even if I did overdo the Jorts badge a little (although the WTF looks on Saturday morning were worth it)
My list of random weekend memories:
Meeting a door stop in person
Grabbing a moment with Elvira (not to be confused with one who did)
Bowling on the one of the least pinbally pinballs made - and liking it
Eating In and Out and Jack in the Box on the same night just to compare
Punching a heavy bag for no reason
Overflowing the grid
Participating in the most uncoordinated poster signing event ever
Losing the ability to flex my ankles by Sunday afternoon, but having a great time anyway
Being begged at Kobalt for just one more... karaoke song, and still making it to breakfast with O+S almost on time
Surviving the RedEye. I looked like Sunday-Afternoon-Neph by the time I got home - and I stayed in the plane!
Play 100% or Don't Play!
-
Trying to figure out how to earn the most badges in 1 picture was pretty great. I think the final method was...
Photobomb someone taking a selfie with jawn in front of Haruman's booth while Elvira played a game while you were wearing jorts and white flipflops with your high score showing on another machine in the booth. YMMV
-
Yeah, that #jorts shirt was epic. Thanks for making the weekend fun, nexusmtz.

Yeah, I keep opening this thread expecting a custom-made arcade game update and all I get are grown men applauding each other's ironic fashion choices.

OK, the BYOAC release of ZapCon the Game has been sent off for testing. Once I get confirmation that all is well, it'll be posted.
In the mean time, here's the skinny on the game:
OK, so I wasn't planning on bringing anything new to ZapCon in 2016, but at the end of last year, I was noodling around with some game creation software that I had when it hit me - I could create a ZapCon-themed game that would be fun and silly but allow me to work on being creative and figure stuff out. So I bounced some ideas off of some members here who I trust, and the Vulcan Bros. was born - a mini-game design consortium, if you will. I would work on the game, do the programming and scripting, and the rest of the team was play-testing, ideas, and quality assurance, We started off with screenshots, then preliminary builds, then actual playthoughs until we got the game where we wanted it to be. I was open to their feedback - I valued it, and the game evolved from in to its final form based on their suggestions and criticisms (I held firm on the snake, though).
More later.

Actually, the good news is that I have decided to return to the classroom, so instead of being a technology trainer, I'm going to be a business teacher. And the cool thing about that is all these machines are part of the business department. So I have have even more access to these wonderful devices.

Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme....
Trying to resolve a resolution issue. It's currently hard coded at 600x800 to run vertically. Trying to see if I can get it to resize on the fly for horizontal monitors with lesser resolution. Runs fine on higher res monitors, though, but I'm trying to make it MAME cab friendly.

Sorry man, didn't mean to cause issues. Don't forget about us horizontal guys! LOL. Was trying to create a follow up vid for the other one I posted about the game itself.
Worse case: I can shoot it on my normal PC which doesn't have the issue.

I know, the recap is long coming, and the game. After Friday, I'll have time to do all that (look for the 2016 Summer of Chuff thread).
But I did want to share this. Ond gave me a nice gift - printed blueprints to his awesome Astro cab. So whenever I had time, I put together a custom wood frame, minimalistic like the cab, with a bright red paint, also like the cab. I filled seams and sanded between coats, trying to mimic the cab's finish.

Is that a Rush seat on a F&F cab? :applaud:

Double nope, its a Faster than Speed seat on a Faster than Speed cab (that is running Maximum speed, but I have both Atomiswave carts in there)
-
I think Rush had those seats first, I have one on mine. May have just sourced them from same manufacturer.
How you like those Atomiswave boards?

The Atomiswave boards are solid as a rock. Faster than Speed is a terrible game , Maximum Speed pretty much never gets swapped out. its kinda like a simplified Daytona with 5 short tracks and you can drive Trucks, NASCars, and Indy style cars. My wife prefers Max over Daytona 2 ; so Daytona 2 might be getting sold to fund purchasing another pin. She plays the pins more than all the vids combined.

I had a SF2 pin for awhile. Bought little figurines and stuck them in places that corresponded with their respective shots on the playfield. Legs were rusted so I did them with stone texture paint that was reminiscent of the Capcom CPO artwork.

The weird thing about FTS is that there are no clues on how to do the secret moves. They're too secret!

Tell Mel where you got the toys.

You know, pretty sure they were prizes at a Putt Putt Golf arcade. 15 years ago.

That turned out very nice yots! I may just have to steal that framing idea for my own copy. It was fun drawing those up and figuring out how to get that blueprint look.

Thank you for the gift of the blueprints. I'm quite chuffed that I own one of only three copies in the world.

So cool! Too bad this happens so far from me and in the birthday season in my family... And I happen to know a couple of persons in Tucson too! :banghead: Ah well!
I do need a clearer pic of Ond's signature though, as it's gonna be featured on my "Metropolis" Cab. Gotta give it's creator his due...
