Best Ultimate Tech Talk Hang Out Loud Edition Season V

Maybe make secret code password that you have to know for Secret Santa. The codw ould be in Think Out Loud. Only people who are in Think Out Loud are cool Tech Talkers.

Or it could be simpler.
MarkMan is the ā€œSecretā€ Santa.
He gives away part of his stick collection to each one of us regulars.
Laugh.

But he’d still have way too many sticks for Tech Talkers!

Also, maybe, if we get enough people from Canada, maybe make sure that only Canadians can’t have American secret Santa and vice-versa? Just to reduce any long shipping times and complaints of ā€œI haven’t gotten mine yet :annoy:ā€ Just tossing it out there. Right now I only see majinhurricane and meus in on it? Not very secret right now.

ā€œstick collectionā€ is a euphemism for ā€œcookie collectionā€, correct?

Edit: Scratch that. I’ll do it. Give me a little bit and I’ll get a thread together.

Oh shit!

Laugh

TT secret santa would be pretty awesome, I’m definitely down.

I also wanted to hop in here and say that I <3 word press.

Anyone tried these yet? I’m very tempted since they’re cheap.

Groovy Standard Soft-Touch? / SST? Microswitch [GROOVYSST1] - $0.89 : GroovyGameGear.com, Always the best in Arcade, Jukebox, Kiosk, Gaming and Industrial controls

I have one of them… it came in the NovaGemCDR Coin Drop Replacement Pushbutton [PBNOVAGEMCDR] - $8.95 : GroovyGameGear.com, Always the best in Arcade, Jukebox, Kiosk, Gaming and Industrial controls I bought… I swapped it out for a cherry switch though. I don’t have any real Happ/iL pushbuttons to actually be able to give you a real indication of how it feels.

I’m going back to the Philippines in October, so I can see if I could arrange a package for you and make them send it to you by X-Mas.

When?

Also, there’s a tournament coming up mid-month (October Fist! on the 16th), you might want to drop by and meet the local community.

Depending on when Art gets done, we may have another way to get that project to you… the 3 of us better chat

You know, I thought about giving these a whirl. I used some GGG buttons before and they seem to be holding up pretty well (although I think the iL/happ buttons may be a bit smoother).

i’ve had ā€œshimapan, yes we canā€ stuck in my head all day.

My dream of owning one of the hori ex2 sticks has come true! less than $30 shipped? I’ll take it.
I’m thinking a neo geo style stick… red body, now I just need to find an ex2/fs3 neo geo template

That made my day, thanks.

Dang, I leave the US on the 16th, which means I’ll miss it… :(… Oh well, I was also going to try to find the SSFIV/BB:CS scene and hang out with you guys, so, I’ll try to browse around.

So as I was dozing off in class, I had an idea for making a stick out of an old (hardcover, duh) book. My plan was to get some old book, cut a square in it (sort of like those secret compartments you see in TV shows) and pop in the stick parts. I’m wondering about a few things:

[LIST]
[]What should the minimum dimensions for the book be in order to fit a cthulu board, 6 face buttons, 2 side buttons and a stick?
[
]Would the USB cable that goes into the PS3 go out of the spine side or the page side? (I’m thinking page)
[*]All I need is buttons, a board, a stick, and all the wires needed with those, right?
[/LIST]

Check out this funkdelic custom stick Sanwa had at their TGS booth.

(It looks 'shopped, but yes, that is an actual photo.)

Does this mean they’re going to start selling transparent OBSFs and dustwashers, or was it just a one-off? I wish I had been there to ask.
