Well it might be a compilation of guesses:

It's something special thats never been done before...scratchbuilt...stools...2 player action...two rubber gloves...vibrate with the action...dedicated...kinda brutal...rimmer...so excited...Freaks...

The real question is what will be on the marquee

Wait, I know. He is going to take 2 Playstations and hook them up to 19" TVs side by side, and use Madcatz steering wheels on them!!!!b

Move along, nothing to see here but another playstation in a black box with a lawn chair in front of it!

I thought this was the funniest thing I've read on these forums to date....then, I read this:

Grand Turismo Boong-ga 2!

2 Player Action! Stimulating Gaming Excitement! Bringing Friends Together!

--> One rides up front while the other one is the "back seat" driver? <--

did someone mention pushing your stool in?

All in all, this thread has taught me something. Never ask YOU GUYS to "guess what I'm doing".

Good luck on that Gran-Boon-garismo. Make sure your crankshaft is properly greased

Do I smell a PhotoShop contest brewing?

johnnysmitch · « **Reply #49 on:** October 27, 2004, 04:04:32 pm »

Hey guys - this is fun! Now everyone try to guess what I MIGHT be THINKING of POSSIBLY building that may or may not be related in some way to arcade controls, but NO ONE HAS EVER DONE BEFORE!! If someone gets it within 10 guesses, they get a PONY!

A photoshop draw-off may be in order...

pointdablame · « **Reply #50 on:** October 27, 2004, 05:15:18 pm »

I was able to get a spy shot of this project..... and I'm quite impressed. It's built of very sturdy looking wood, and I'm really digging the zebra print rug.... I'll keep you guys posted.

Oh and someone posted why use GT2? It's old skool, man! I even found this old ad for that game!

haha, that Gran Turismo 2 ad is priceless.

Gunstar Hero · « **Reply #57 on:** October 28, 2004, 02:57:56 pm »

Good job guys.

I'm sure now we ran that poor guy right out of custom arcade building and right into therapy.

He seemed so... into... his idea, I didn't have the heart to mention this monstrocity... http://www.virtual-gt.com/index.html

The gaudiest PS2 based driving cab! Behold it's glory!

LOL. Is it just me, or do those logos look badly photoshopped on?

Well, anyways, I think we've made the universe a better place to live.

Rahzel · « **Reply #59 on:** October 29, 2004, 05:42:52 pm »

3 Monitors for 180 Degree vision? Vibrating seats? Force Feedback Steering? Using the frame of a real car as your cabinet? It's all been done before... except maybe the last one. Any other ideas would be too lame

johnnysmitch · « **Reply #60 on:** October 29, 2004, 05:56:58 pm »

If he was REALLY cool, he'd mame a Sonic Blastman cab and configure the software so that you can control EVERY game by beating the crap out of it...

gtarcade · « **Reply #61 on:** October 29, 2004, 06:26:18 pm »

Actaully, they've used real car frames. I've seen a simulator like thst. Nobody's guessed it yet.

It's a Transformer! Life size so you can sit in a play driving games, then with the flick of a switch, or maybe even a voice command, it transforms into a killer stand up/environmental arcade game!

Either that, or it's his new gay ass halloween costume.

Wait!!!! Are you Carson Daily?!?

Guys,

Aren't we all being a bit mean-spirited? Sure it was a poor attempt at being clever, but shaming him off the board probably isn't in the spirit of this place.

$0.02

gtarcade · « **Reply #68 on:** October 30, 2004, 09:44:26 am »

Ok,
I'm going to make two GT2 Cockpit cabs and link them together.

Santoro · « **Reply #69 on:** October 30, 2004, 10:03:18 am »

Sounds very cool. You must have a lot of space at home!!!!

Crazy Cooter · « **Reply #70 on:** October 30, 2004, 11:20:43 am »

At last. Now we can get productive.

Have you decided what the cockpits will look like?
Are they going to be side-by-side or head-to-head?

I'd love to do something like this. The little lady would never give up that kind of real estate in the house though.

showing my age again but I played that game in my bar days in the late 80's. Was a real experience after many budweisers.....I would give the proverbial left nut to have that!!!!!!!!!

that's it? oh geez. thanks for wasting all our time!

that has only been talked about in here a hundred times in the past...though i will say i haven't seen it actually done yet.

now guess what my dream project is? c'mon...guess!

um, a bowling alley?

"What do you do for recreation?"

"Oh, you know, the usual. Bowl, drive around, the occasional acid flashback."

and one especially for your avatar

"effing Quintana! That creep can roll, man."

"Yeah, but he's a pervert, man..."

"I'm the Dude! That's what you call me, you know... That or His Dudeness, Duder, El Dudarino..."

"You never went to college..."

"Yeah, no, I did. But I spent most of my time occupying various administration buildings, smoking a lot of Thai stick, heckling the ROTC, and bowling. Tell you the truth, Brandt, I don't remember most of it..."

"Smokey, this is not Nam, this is bowling. There are rules."

"Ah, eff it, Dude. Let's go bowling."

damn fine movie

Magnet_Eye · « **Reply #74 on:** November 02, 2004, 06:36:47 pm »

yeah a bowling alley would be sweet! but, no that's not it. keep guessing!

haha! screw guessing.

My dream project is to build 4 LIFE SIZE light cycles (from TRON) and have them with cool controls and 3 monitors in each, the 2 on the side of the main screen for side views. Of course they would have serious sound systems with subwoofers and cool hinged doors that lift up. If I were real lucky, they could actually lean as well. I would use one of the light cycle games out there like Armagedtron that have network support.

Basically the best Tron Light Cycle game ever!
