Title: Attack of the Show host gets MAME cab, needs help
Post by: HerbertKornfeld on December 20, 2008, 09:04:39 am
Cable TV Darling Kevin Pereira (http://www.kevinpereira.com/) has recently acquired a MAME machine (http://www.flickr.com/photos/kpereira/3119096787/), and he needs some help (http://twitter.com/kpereira/statuses/1066559789).  I know that this forum has always been helpful, and I figured you guys would be able to help him better than anyone. 

Should I point him in this direction?

Of course, though I don't understand why he'd want you to do this instead of just setting up an account and maintain his anonymity.

Sure. We can help him out, make fun of his control panel size, and make in-jokes about members past all in a single post. We're the best.

Of course we would never REALLY make fun of his control panel size, that would be cruel.

EDITED for spelling, clarity, etc.

Send him our way. I'd be happy to help, as I use Maximus Arcade myself.

My guess is HerbertKornfeld is him.

Who sends people out to messageboards and posts asking if they can come and post here?

I'd strongly suggest avoiding pointing out perfect custom titles for others....  Saint has a weird sense of humor when it comes to stuff like that.

Like I said, that would be cruel. Besides if I start casting stones stones would then be cast upon me. I don't really want that. You guys can be brutal.

Why not just join anonymously like everyone else, and don't tell them who you are...  Duh.

The first time I heard of Mame was on Tech TV's "Call For Help". Roger Chang did an excellent spot of a Mame Machine he had build from an Arcade Depot kit. Oh how I miss Tech TV!

Why even ask us?

Would anybody on this forum have a problem with him posting here?

It's not like Saint would just ban him outright just for being here.




Would he?

Sorry so vague with my first post.  Let me clarify.  No, I am not him, as some have suggested. And no one sent me here.  I'm just a fan who happened to notice his new cabinet and his plea for help in his twitter feed.

And I never even considered the whole "he probably wants to post anonymously" thing.  I was really just announcing his new cab, and i thought this would be a receptive audience. 

I guess i kind of wished that he would take his new hobby and showcase it on his show.  I think it would be cool if he had a segment where he showed his new cabinet, and maybe highlighted some of the more creative ones that are found right here in the forum.  And for something like that, maybe it would be even better to get ahold of the producers of the show.  I don't know what type of creative control he has in getting segments produced.

So let me restate my original message.  Kevin Pereira has a new MAME Cab.  I hope he starts talking about arcade cabinets on his show.  And maybe we'll see him on here.

Attack of the show sucks except for the guy that was in house of a 1000 corpses he rocks, but G4 network has no clue what there doing and canceled all the classics and in its place put 10 year old episodes of cops that isnt even enjoyable to watch because 1/3 of the screen is some ---That which is odiferous and causeth plants to grow--- test and chat sessions with 10 year olds
