You mean some of you have time outside of work & your MAME cab to do... stuff...???
I must be missing something... ::)

Actually, I just took up Painting... Acrylic on canvas... Pretty fun to do some abstract stuff. I'm gonna start doing some abstract arcade related stuff to decorate the game room with.

I'm getting ready to convert an old mini monaco cabinet to a touch-screen juke box (& I know I'm probably going to end up with MAME on it as well... Who can resist an "All-In-One"?)

I tried a PC Case Mod... But got bored with it after I painted the case & keyboard shell...

Eh... I'm just trying to find the time to finish my MAME cab now.

Post by: Ravant on January 27, 2005, 11:21:43 pm: Well, seeing as how I'm new to the boards, I'm sure no one cares, but...
I've got a couple of things I'm working on other than an arcade cabinet.

I'm working on a 1999 Monte Carlo LS, turning it into a street legal, yet fast car, hopefully getting a V8 into it. Then there's my 1969 Camaro... this thing is engineless, trannyless, rusted out, and lacks any kind of civilized interior, but only cost me $320. I'm going to turn it into my baby... my weekend driver. And last, but certainly not least, 19 friends and I have banded together to try to invest time and money into getting to beta test the Unreal 3 development engine. We've formed a small business, and Epic Games has taken intrest... but I have my doubts.

Other than those time-consuming things, I'm working on getting my degree in Math/Computer Science. This world is full of so much to do, and a lifetime lasts only a minute percentage of what is required. *sigh* And hello, everyone. :)

Post by: clanggedin on January 27, 2005, 11:44:00 pm: I just finished a Donkey Kong Jr cab restoration. (pics will be up tomorrow). Next I will be continuing on a previously started project which is my PS2 cab with RedOctane Time Crisis Pedals.

I have also started framing my basement so we can get it finished sometime in the next 20 years (I keep spending all of the "basement money" on cabs).

Post by: Dexter on January 28, 2005, 11:00:46 am: I'm optimising my studio box with a view to producing a couple of new tracks. Got a session singer on board so it's just really a question of getting enough time to do it really. Getting the DJing career back up and running too, so I'm pretty busy. Oh, and I'm also working on losing the weigt gained over the christmas and new year.
