Been a while since i've logged in and i need to be a little more active around here. Things have been crazy lately and Inhaven't been playing as much sadly.  I did pick up Destiny on the PS4 so I'll  be checking the forums for folks to add and game with. 

On a side note, I finished another 60-in-1  arcade. This one is a small bartop. Turned out pretty cool.

anyway, better go for now. 

Later!

So it's been a while since I've gamed with the fine folks from 2O2P but, I'm curious to see what everyone is playing. Xbox One or PS4? 

For me I've been playing Assassins Creed Black Flag for the PS4. Also picked up BF4 and Killzone Shadowfall.

already beat KZ so now I'm deep into AC. Loving this game! Lots of fun.

gearing up for Christmas and some much needed time off! Taking a break from building arcades until warmer weather. :(

but i have a bunch of boards and a mame cab to build as soon as i do! :)

Almost done! This is another build from scratch. I just finished applying the graphics tonight. I still have a few loose ends to tie up but, hoping to have it done by the weekend. :)

Well i still have to redo the control panel graphics and order the coin door locks but, other than that it's finished.

Had to wait a while for paint but, yesterday my Street Fighter 2 CE arcade cabinet came back from my friends paint shop! I thought i would post up a picture real quick showing the assembly progress. :)

Oh and if your playing Blops2 hit me up! I normally play Hardcore TDM or Kill Confirmed but, I'll pretty much play anything.

Well ithe weather has been crappy lately so the arcade had to get put on hold for now. All the finish work is complete. Just waiting on paint and final assembly.

picked up the new Tomb Raider and it's fantastic! I've already played theough it but, now i'm going for 100% in campaign. The mp kinda sucks. Probably wont play that very much.

also bought God of War ascension. The game was...meh. Not as good as the third but, not a bad game overall. It just didnt have the "wow" factor the 3rddone gave me. Not to mention the game has some bugs and issues with loading the cutscenes. 

Well a friend of mine is supposed to paint the cabinet in about another week or so if everything stays on schedule. Today I'm going to get the capacitors on the jamma board changed out and a little bit of sanding & filling in a few spots i'm still not completely happy with. Other than that I'll probably just play some Blops2 and Gears 3!

Oh btw, it's a snow day. WOOOOT!

Just a few more pics. Should be ready for paint by the weekend. The first pic is after i finished filling and sanding. The next is just test fitting the custom bezel image. The last is a couple showing the sound upgrade from mono to stereo. By using an alternate pinout on the main board i was able to get a stereo signal but, was very low volt. So I added a nice little 12V amplifier that puts out 25x2rms @ 8ohms into a couple of full range Dayton Audio 4" drivers. The sound is awesome! :)

It's been too long since I've been back on 2O2P! Anyway, just wanted to post up a link to my new project. I'm calling it a Williams design inspired custom Street Fighter 2 Champion Edition arcade cabinet. I didn't really like the design of the original SF2CE cabinet so I went with what I like. So far it's coming along pretty well. I have a few items left to get done before I can get it painted: rear doors, some internal bracing, hinges for the console & doors, cut in the wall plug plate and a few other small things. All the major work is complete. Suprisingly it hasn't taken very long.
