O rite, so lik... I spent the entire damn day hooking up my sound stuff. What did I get? Some stuff that's about on par with Best Buy's Insignia line. They ran me about $20 per pair.

There were actually 4 boxes, but I took two into my room and opened them there at my leisure.

IMG_1042.jpg


This is a speaker. It speaks. That is a box on the left. The speaker on the right was in that box on the left. The box is included because the speaker shipped in that box.

But what happens when it's sub Vs. cat? Well, the sub is a fucking monster (much bigger than I'd ancticipated) and...

IMG_1043.jpg


Take yo clothes off, ho

IMG_1044.jpg


Now lemme see jo naked azz

IMG_1045.jpg


That's a 325 watt amp built into the sub.

To put things into perspective (moreso than the cat example), here's my new sub Vs. my current sub hooked up to my computer with the Logitech Z-640 5.1 system currently used by many CAGs.

The center channel

IMG_1047.jpg


Take that off and let me see yo pair, bitch. Lest I rape you.

IMG_1048.jpg


Noo don't rape me!

BITCH IMA STICK IT IN BOTH YO HOLES

IMG_1051.jpg


IMA BISEXUAL MOTHAfuckA, SO IM TAKIN IT IN D' AZZ

IMG_1049.jpg


As you can see, Mr. Receiver is being raped by about 45 wires.

HENTAI TENTACLE RAPE ORGY. LET US fuck!

IMG_1050.jpg


Soo naughty.


Uhm... so yeah, the sound setup is moderately successful. It sounds nice. I like it. Really though, good surround sound is one of those things you underestimate and don't think you need until you've experienced it. Kinda like getting glasses or rape.
 
Wooo.

I just beat a B ranked Akuma and Yun player. I'm a lucky SOB.

Awesome pics Chacrana. The loading of the sound system pics actually added a ton of lag to my 3S game. Did you take a pic of it all setup, without the CRT in your room?

Naw, unless a lot of people want to see that, it'll have to wait until the next batch of collection pics.
 
Chacrana your desk is like the most old school looking thing i've ever seen in my life.

also, anyone besides me and ReRo picking up Catan? It's really really fun, even if ol' ReRo squeeked out a lucky win against me today

You seem a little underwhelmed, have you bought an SPL meter and calibrated your crossover right and messed with every single one of your receiver settings? With a set up like yours, your ears and your mind should be fucking blown = )

Well, with your sub, I'd definitely use your calibration disc, test tones, some reference DVD's, and the almighty SPL meter to calibrate your sound. My set up isn't near as good as yours but it sounds absoltuely amazing because of the right calibration, your room looks like it has some good airflow and walls..so it should sound beyond stellar

If you already have your SPL meter and calibrated already, then congratulations!
 
[quote name='asianxcore']Those V5 360 screens look perty. What are we, 2 months away from release?

Also congrats on getting your HRAP2 gunm.[/quote]

Thanks! I'm loving it long time.

As for the V5 360 screens, yeah, they do look washed out compared to the PS3. Who knows if it will stay that way, though? Anyways, unless they make a $499 or lower PS3, I'm stuck with the 360 version. :p

Oh, and hot audio set up, Chac. I'm jealous.

I'm hoping to maybe see some of you guys around in SFAC. Just sucks that it may be about a month till then...moving my shit back to my parents and all...
 
Nice pics Chacrana. What are you going to do with your logitech system? That's the wireless 5.1 system right? I may be interested...


Jim-- I'm getting Catan as soon as I get a point card from this referral site. Is it as good as everyone says?

Hahah, I sounded underwhelmed because A) I intended to be almost sarcastic about it and B) I was tired as fuck when I was writing it. No, I was laughing like a semi-retarded schoolgirl when I was watching that first episode of Cowboy Bebop... I cannot fucking believe how much stuff is actually in that soundtrack that I had no idea was even there. These speakers are ridonkulous and yeah, I am very satisfied. Anyway, I don't have the SPL meter and I haven't done the manual calibration (I have Digital Video Essentials so I do have the disc for it), but I have run the receiver's automatic calibration. I realize that it's not absolutely ideal, but so far the sound field seems really, really good and I'll probably calibrate the stuff myself sometime soon.

I'm hanging onto the Logitech system since that's all I have hooked up to my computer right now. The nice stuff is all hooked up to the TV. And Asian, I'll take a quick pic of my CRT-less setup now that I'm not so tired.
 
[quote name='Chacrana']And Asian, I'll take a quick pic of my CRT-less setup now that I'm not so tired.[/QUOTE]

Sweet.

I think I'm addicted to playing 3S online now. I also love how higher ranked players leave matches if they lose to a lower rank :)
 
I just came across a PS3 60GB HD for $400 and thanks to Apossum I got a copy of VF5 cheap. So I might not be on Live anytime soon. Depending on if I play the system alot I might keep it for awhile and hold off on a 360.

Can you play Tekken DR online? EDIT - Nevermind I just found out, it's not.
 
[quote name='jimfoley16']Strength FTW.

On an odd/funny note, I was at a tournament that also had a Magical Drop 3 machine on freeplay. Justin Wong is amazing at this game as well (I'm talking HELLA good.) Figures, right? :whistle2:#[/QUOTE]Ha ha, I was about to mention Justin Wong as soon as I read the post about Magical Drop 3. The second morning at ECC, back in December, there was a whole crowd goofing off around a modded Xbox. They had Magical Drop going and this one kid was wrecking everyone. Judging by the "Justin Wong! Justin Wong!" chants that I heard, I figured this must be the famous Justin Wong... and that apparently he can kick ass in any number of genres!

This was all right after a whole bunch of low-tier matches in MvC 2. I'll never forget the Son-Son ownage, and a bunch of guys yelling "N*GGA ATE YO FOOD!" when she did her watermelon super. lol, good times.

You can play MK2 online, but it's another craptastic, lifeless Digital Eclipse port (an emulated game with a cheap menu slapped on and BS scoreboards.) The game plays fine, it's just very obvious that no extra effort was put into the port.

o snap, a $400 PS3? I'd be all over that like bukkake on Jenna Jameson. Gratz on that find, Rodimus!

If the place (wherever you got it) still has $400 PS3s LMK ASAP since I can probably drive over and get one sometime.
 
^ I'm actually buying it from a guy I work with. He needs cash and is willing to part with it for $400. He's gonna let me test it out for about a week before I pay for it. I figure if I ever want to sell it I can let it go for $450 and atleast make $50 off it. It's a win/ win for me.

nice. Huge congrads on the snag.
 
So now that my setup's been cleansed of CRTs, we're left with these pics of my still slightly messy room.

Some of you may also have scoped the monitor that replaced my shitty old one in some of the previous pics.
 
WTF? That's "slightly messy"? My studio isn't that clean after I spend an hour cleaning it :lol:
 
I also have my Dreamcast sitting right next to my 360. I guess jet engines like to be together. That's messy if a girl's coming over but it looks almost white glove for a single college student.
 
Once again, nice pics Chac. Congrats on getting that PS3 Rodimus.

Also if anyone wants to play 3S, I should be on XBL for the next 2 hours.

It's ultra-messy for me... cables everywhere, shit on the floor. I keep my room like it is in my collection pics pretty much all the time. Organizing things is fun. Case in point: My alphabetized shelf of games.

I'll be there shortly. My mic is fucked, but I'll see if I can fix it.

Would you say you're anal retentive or you just have fun cleaning up. I'm messy as fuck, but every time I get a chance to clean up, I love it.

I wouldn't say I'm anal retentive, but I wouldn't say I enjoy cleaning either. I just like having some place to walk around rather than having shit everywhere.

totally understandable. Cleanliness is the thing of kings! or whatever...???????? >_<


Well, I shall venture into unknown territory... building an arcade cabinet is going to be a bitch know 0% of knowlage on how to set it all up...

so far I'm using this to get started:

http://arcadecontrols.com/arcade.htm

anyone have other sites similar with more specifics or whatever???
 
wow. I'm not sure if I can get used to the 360 d-pad for third strike. it's unbelievably bad.
 
BYOC is the way to go... going for a woody cab I see... what made you want to build one instead of buying an old cab and fixing it up? Then there is the candy cab route... IMO candy cabs are simply beautiful(easier to transport too)...

For anyone that cares... www.SDTEKKEN.com review of Hori Real Arcade Pro 3 is up!

Seeing as I do art installations that are video games (or interactive art), I decided the best way to expand my art making abilities beyond just the games is by working on interface and whatnot... thus the arcade cabby :)

I think it'll be both hard and fun :)

any pointers would be superb!
 
Good matches on 3S asianxcore. It's a shame it started getting laggy on those last few matches. I'm starting to dig Dudley's offense.
 
Hm RR, on the shmup.com forums, I read about guy named Matsu that sells import candy cabs with reasonable shipping rates. Those shmup guys seem to vouch for him...

nice. I'm realizing I'm jumping too far ahead of myself with the cabinet. I first need to feel comfortable doing the wiring and all. Last time I did wiring was in boy scouts making a radio >_<

I'll make a stick or two and then move onto the cabinet.

Word. Those games were fun.

Sorry it took me so long to get into your game. Weird thing is that you didn't show up as online on my friends list. I found your game through "optimatch" on the 3S menu.

Weird. Maybe it's because I'm on a regular Xbox? Hopefully, I'll get my mic fixed soon. I accidentally sat on the thing last month.
 
cocktail cabinet~!!!!!

you made up my mind... I want one now lol!!!

I donno why, I jus do!!

but I dont got much pointers for stick building other than make sure u kno how to cut good, coz I sure dont.

the best pointer I can give u is to jus build one, becoz experience is the best thing. Jus build a practice stick and learn from that.

I wish I had time to make another one ;_; but I want the parts first.

Thx for the input Jekki and MM. I'm in the research stages, so the hands on stuff probably won't happen for a little while.
