My only complaint with new Mad Max was that unlike the original movie, the story wasn't centered around Max himself so much. A more fitting title might have been "Mad Max & Friends".

Thanks for that graphic, that does help visualize things a lot better.
But nah, I still own the same TurboDuo I've since the early R.I.G.G. days! I've barely touched it for years though after throwing away all the games I had burned to CD-Rs (didn't want to risk wearing out the laser). The only thing glitchy with I've ever noticed is the last time or two the audio wasn't quite as loud, or buzzed until I wiggled the A/V input cable a bit. And, in reading about symptoms of leaky caps I've read that "sound issues" are a common symptom. To which I groaned, thinking about the 20+ capacitors I'm about to replace on the monitor chassis board in my MVS-2 cabinet when my flyback replacement comes in the mail. "Oh god. NOT MORE CAPS!"
I've never even opened the console before, and I think I vaguely remember you telling me years back that it's kind of a pain. So yeah, at this point I'm debating if I should try to do a cap replacement this year, or just leave it boxed on the shelf for now.. which could make it worse in the future. I really haven't made up my mind what to do with it yet and was just curious what your thoughts were.

So, looking around ebay today, I cringed as I kept seeing the word "recapped!" on a lot of listings. Then I came across this: http://console5.com/wiki/Turbo_Duo#Leaking_Capacitors
That's a lot of damn capacitors! I can't even fathom this at the moment...

« on: Apr. 27, 2015, 04:49:14 PM »
Won a 2-slot original Neo-Geo MVS cabinet for $375 in a local arcade auction in January!
That's already a bit of an old picture. I've since worked on the marquee, removed that peeling sticker strip (world heroes 2 jet instructions. I have an unused replacement for it), and done quite a bit of tinkering with the monitor to make it look better. Still have to replace some capacitors though in that department eventually.
So far, I have a 161-1 multicart, an assortment of stickers and marquee cards, and the following cartridges:
- World Heroes 2 Jet
- Samurai Shodown II
- Fatal Fury II
- Top Players Golf
- King of the Monsters 2
Currently looking for these 2 carts:
- Magician Lord
- Nam '75

Ron Paul is trying again. Getting booed at debates by Republicans when saying things I must agree with.. typical. While I don't really think Oh-Bama stands a chance in winning now due to his terrible approval rate, the Republican side looks a bit chaotic this time around. It is still early, but it will be interesting to see how things unfold.

Oh yeah and speaking of ol' Ron Paul, I really hope his Federal Reserve audit bill goes through!

Hahaha the Clintons, what an easy target. I hope we all come to conclusion that if she wins, I'm sorry... but yes, elections are rigged LOL.
I can't take any more fahking McLame!!!!!
All I heard today was crap about the stupid NY Times farticle at work. I haven't seen the chick he supposedly had affairs with or whatever, but wow... she has to be some piece of work to want to get with this old plastic-faced dude. I think it's safe to say a majority of career politicians have some rather strange sexual side interests, so that aspect of it is quite tame. If there's money involved though... yeah, I want to see McLame completely creamed by ABC, CBS, CNN, FOX, radio shows, et all. Career politician is many steps above a career lawyer in my opinion, so people should pay attention to where the money is coming and going from.
McCain was a total spineless jellyfish about the war before it started if I remember correctly. If he would have known anything about "Al-Queda" in the first place... he would have known that it was a sort of label for a database of Muslim groups, with many interesting names. Originally compiled by whom? Good ol' Bill Clinton. Here's a quote from Wikipedia, although my opinion of this was close before finding something to reference for this post, heh.
I hear the term "Bush's War" a lot... Hillary Clinton gets elected, and all of this scary shit is never going to surface.

While McCain proudly and repeatedly points to his battles with Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, who had to rebuild the U.S. military and fight a complex war, where was McCain in the lead-up to the war — when the military was being dangerously downsized by the Clinton administration and McCain’s friend, former Secretary of Defense Bill Cohen? Where was McCain when the CIA was in desperate need of attention? Also, McCain was apparently in the dark about al-Qaeda like most of Washington, despite a decade of warnings.

The name appears with the spelling "al-Qaida" in an executive order issued by President Bill Clinton in 1998, less than two weeks after the bombings of the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. Executive Order 13099, issued on August 20, 1998, lists the organization as one of several associated with Osama bin Laden, the others being the Islamic Army, Islamic Salvation Foundation, the Islamic Army for the Liberation of the Holy Places, The World Islamic Front for Jihad Against Jews and Crusaders, and The Group for the Preservation of the Holy Sites.[31] The name "al-Qaida" could have been introduced to U.S. intelligence by Jamal al-Fadl, who had been providing the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) with intelligence about bin Laden since 1996, before ultimately appearing as a witness in the February 2001 trial of those accused of the 1998 United States embassy bombings.

Excellent post Nightwolve hehe... McLame!!! Damn... great stuff. I'm really glad the Limbaugh/Boortz/whoever fans haven't really gone for that guy. He'll probably want to bomb Iran, I don't think that would go over too well right now.
I'm sorry you know... at first I didn't like Ron Paul because all these same fucking dread-haired hippies who try to tell me not to buy gasoline on a certain day and other nonsense were soooo crazy about the guy.
One day though, I was like... ok... I'm going to listen to this Ron Paul guy talk. I totally DESPISE Michael Moore and the total LIES he spreads in his bleeding-heart bullshit documentaries... but I like a lot of what this guy says. I know all politicians are generally complete liars, as well as lawyers haha... but I'm sorry, things like the national dept... I don't feel comfortable at all with the low level of military resources our current administration puts into our OWN country... let alone the economy.
To be completely honest though Nightwolve, I do not have faith that Ron Paul would even get on the ballot... however I plan on voting for his none the less if he does not drop out, and then for MYSELF, as I did last election... I can't sleep at night knowing I didn't cast my vote out of my own will and not Because I feel the need "have" to pick someone to keep another from office I despise. I have but one request to make to you as a fellow voter... ANYONE... ANYONE... but Hillary Clinton!!!!! Please god no.... can't quite say the same thing about Ron Paul eh? heh-heh

Not real sure who The American Conservative magazine is... perhaps you do. They just endorsed Paul. http://www.amconmag.com/2008/2008_02_11/feature.html
Too bad the Republicans will probably just force McCain down our throats
Yeah, Obama has some rather socialist views but I love the guy compared to Clinton *shudder*. He still would never get my vote though.
I guess you and many other people will vote with 9/11 and Osama Bin Laden in mind. I suppose one reason for my endorsement of Paul may rest in the fact I'm one of those "lunatics" who scratches my head over the official details of that day, and knows a little something about Jack Abramoff, SunCruz casino ships, and Mohammed Atta. We do have a lot to fear in this age... I don't think it's any of these crap on television, in the newspapers, or on the radio.
