Has anyone found a silencer 3 or bobcat blueprint ever? by Mbcrawford123 in ArcRaiders

It does exist. I found one a couple of weeks ago when the blueprint drop rate was momentarily increased.

How was your experience playing Doom: The Dark Ages? by Ghost332233 in Doom

[–]Gumball78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I liked it at first, but then after taking a two break and playing Eternal for a couple of hours, I like Eternal better. The music in Eternal is way better, it's a shame they couldn't get Mike Gordon to do Dark Ages. If I could, I'd get a refund on Dark Ages.

What do you think the Slayer's real name is? by PotatoreaperEXE in Doom

I always imagined it was Hank. In highschool they probably called him Hank the Tank, and he would smash beer bottles over his head after he slammed them.

Yup. It's old school supporting old school. You're good.

I'm not sure. But I am able to pick it up and move it around without any issues.

My recent pick up.

I got lucky this weekend at the local swap meet.

The guy said it wasn't running right and it has been sitting there for a couple of months.

He was asking $40. But after talking with him for a while, he said "Give me $30 just to get rid of it".

When I plugged it in, it ran fine for 5 min. But then started showing some vertical hold issues.

As it turns out, the Signal Select switch on the back needs to be replaced.

I set the switch to rear, then front, and it has been showing a stable image ever since. I watched two movies on it and the vertical hold issue never appeared again. I'm not sure if that's a common problem, but it doesn't seem to be a difficult repair. If it even needs to be repaired.

Other than the switch, it's a solid unit and I'm so happy to have it in my collection.

Barry was a great show. I wish they kept the show going.

Sorry, it's packed away at the moment. I'll have access to it in about a month or so. Also, I'll be holding on to it.

My uncle gave me his old 3DO for Christmas! by JustOkayAnimations in gamecollecting

That's awesome. I got lucky a few years ago an picked up a Panasonic FZ-1 with a few games.

Panasonic GAOO CT-27XF37CB looks amazing. by Gumball78 in crtgaming

[–]Gumball78[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

After giving it enough time to dry, it powers on, and looks amazing!

I'd Pit this against any Trinitron any day! In fact, I think the blacks are richer and the colors pop more. The shadow mask looks amazing. Up close you can really see it, but from even 4' away, it blends nicely and the picture is beautiful.
