ooohhh! so nice for a simple modder such as myself…FRYS.com|Velleman maybe I’ll pick this up for x-mas. I’ll finally be able to put my $19 radioshack soldering iron to rest.

Damn Steam sale eating hard into my budget…How can I possibly turn down a $3.75 Super Meat Boy?

spenzalii · 2010-12-21T07:24:46.000Z

One of my packages came in. I’ve got 2 PS360s with one spoken for already, and a set of OBS-30A buttons. I could pair these up with a JLW and have the closest thing to happ setup possible and still keep a slim case. Or I can Frankkenbutten them with some of Rollie’s pearl or clear buttons or plungers and throw some lights in them. Of course, I now would need a case. And some art. And an EL panel. My wife is not going to be happy…

I also need to get this Joytron case done. It will take some modding to get a Korean stick in there, but it’s already got Crown buttons. It will give me an excuse to try that black chrome paint I saw at the store the other day. I’m sure with some wet sanding it will be awesome. But it’s cold out here and I’m not sure I feel like airing out the garage when it’s 35 degrees. Besides, I still need to put a PCB in there

Anybody know the most reasonable way to ship something to the Phillipines?

know any filipinos going there and send it with them =[…

sakabato24 · 2010-12-21T09:03:34.000Z

I would ship it out for you if I could, but I can not go back to the Philippines due to the fact that air travel is very expensive around this time of year.

Also, depending on how large the package is will determine the cost of the shipping. Is it something as large as a balikbayan box?

EDIT

Found out that it costs $45 dollars to ship anything from the United States to the Philippines. Doesn’t matter the size.

mr.mortified · 2010-12-21T09:14:46.000Z

dem balikbayan boxes saka…

I was thinking the exact same thing. Speaking of which we still have to send that one box that’s been sitting there for a while…

Toodles, i feel ya. I just dropped cash on SMB, the Unreal Pack (i’ve been waiting for a sale on this for fucking ever), Serious Sam 2nd Encounter (loved the first)… and Judge Dredd… just to see (for 1.50… why not? :p) I’m scared to see what tomorrow brings (for the sales they offer).

I know, right? I’m terrified to buy something that isn’t on the daily sales, just in case it ends up cheaper!

I can do that. Plus I live in MS so the shipping will be cheap.

d3v · 2010-12-21T10:56:02.000Z

But I want tracking and some form of insurance, especially since it’s a $400 stick.

I’m sure you can… I just painted it normal and dipped the shit outta it in polyacrylic when I was done. Turned out really good and I havent had problems with it.

JDM POR VIDA!

May I ask how you actually painted it though. Like did you just spray it or what? I cant imagine a way of handlin the ball top without paint getting inside the screw hole

mr.mortified · 2010-12-21T12:02:46.000Z

You could just take the JLF shaft and wrap it with tape with the balltop screwed in?

motoh · 2010-12-21T12:09:50.000Z

I’ve blocked the steam store website at the router level. This is necessary for my wellbeing.

Also, I need someone who’s good with LED lighting. I need learning.

You know you want to unblock it.

Your soul cries out for it.

It haunts your dreams.

Laugh.

Dammit, I wish I could see the eclipse, but it’s too damn cloudy outside. I guess this will have to do: Spacevidcast, Ustream.TV: Making Space Commonplace .

edit: I’m not gonna lie: I want one of these. Badly. http://en.akihabaranews.com/77692/gaming/new-sega-gaming-console-japanese-innovation-at-its-finest

Whoa, whoa, whoa, the screen says free play. That means Sega is attempting an arcade comeback via urinals?

Only in Japan…

Comeback? Sega still makes arcade hardware… they just released the RingEdge and RingWide hardware not too long ago…

WildWon · 2010-12-21T18:27:53.000Z

Well then, we can conclude that Sega is just taking the piss outta gamers.
