This guy has a point...
Arcade82:
I'm sure you guys have probably seen this site before, but he as a point
This one for example
http://www.wickedretarded.com/~crapmame/4.html
an otherwise decent cabinet with a huge, unnecessarily wide control panel with the track ball way out of sight of the monitor
http://www.wickedretarded.com/~crapmame/8.html
This one just looks silly.. Like a giraffe or something. Huge ass empty space..ugly
http://www.wickedretarded.com/~crapmame/9.html
This one's super wide but has a 4" monitor in it.. wtf?
Don't build arcade machines if you can't put a decent sized tv or something in there.
http://www.wickedretarded.com/~crapmame/10.html
That one's gotta be a pleasure to play on
http://www.wickedretarded.com/~crapmame/11.html
Maybe it's unfinished, I don't know.. but it looks stupid
super skinny cabinet with a super wide control panel... the rest just looks bad
http://www.wickedretarded.com/~crapmame/19.html
All that work and a stupid x-arcade
http://www.wickedretarded.com/~crapmame/20.html
seriously, tomb raider???
http://www.wickedretarded.com/~crapmame/22.html
i can't see the monitor, are you supposed to use your imagination?

that page is excellent
I don't think his point is that people can't build whatever they want to enjoy themselves, but don't post it on the internet to "show off" if it looks like crap

Been done before........ :blah:

Seems like this link shows up every couple weeks don't it?
Couple points:
* Beauty is in the eye of the beholder
* If you enjoy these kinds of rambling rants - visit Maddox at the Best Page in the Universe
* If you build one of these cabinets... you know the costs can force you to compromise. In the case of arcade paradise, you can read his thoughts on why he did what he did and what he learned from it
* Who knows if there were limitations involved. For example, if the guy who built Ms. Stacie was 13, had no job and 100 bucks to build a cabinet.
I read this a while back when it first came out. If you don't take it too serious (which you shouldn't), it's kind of funny. Overall, I think some people are afraid to publish their work for fear of being featured as a 'what not to do' kind of cabinet, when the truth is the arcade community is some of the nicest folks I've run into online.

You are assuming that he had a point. Maybe it was just recreation. (Remaining 30 discussions not cited ... this was the funniest)
You should be careful what you post in PA ... a bunch of that material came from here.
Cheers.
