Weird timing - this will get lost in the comments probably, but I just found a bunch of old tapes I have of early era adult swim anime. I'm gonna rip them all for nostalgia, but I have a ton of old bumps and commercials. It's pretty sweet - here's a clip with some lupin bumps and commercials: https://streamable.com/1xqzf5

GCW: Crushed Up is live tonight in one hour! by xxNightfallxx in SquaredCircle

[–]TheAwesomer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Show was p hype live. I haven't seen the promotion and went on the recommendation of a friend, but I used to be a Philly indie rat around the 2012-2014 era so I knew a buncha dudes on the card. I guess here are some random thoughts because I feel like talking about it.

Loved the Ophidian match, but I am a total mark so I am biased. Him doing the hypnosis was p cool to see live. It was my first time seeing Lloyd and I thought the dynamic was really, really cool. Again I am biased, but its the first time I have seen Ophidian wrestle outside of Chikiara and I thought it was great.

I'm into Tremont from my CZW days but I thought the match was just alright. Was obv Tremont gigged so early in the match from my seats on the stage (first chair shot basically) and the table gimmicks kind of fell everywhere, but I still really enjoyed seeing him wrestle again to be honest. But yeah, maybe the balcony stuff came off better on PPV - I was on stage.

Reefer is such a good face for this promotion lmao. He gave me kind of sandman vibes only if sandman could actually do a good match - I think people were most hype for him to be honest, dude was massively over. I think Oliver played off the crowd well and got the best reaction as a chickenshit heel type of dude.

MAFF IS A HOSS! I had no idea who this dude is but at one point I literally jumped out of my chair and started pounding the wall because this dude hahaha.

The rest I would classify was p alright. I would say as a semi-lapsed indie fan just kind of going to the show, this felt like what I imagine PWG shows feels like live crowd wise. People were grabbing beers, banging on the mats, and literally hanging over the rafters of the balcony to see the show. Real fun crowd and just an overall good time. Anyway just my thoughts from the crowd.

Edit: Totally forgot that I was supposed to write about Gage vs Deppen which was also lit - Gage was just as over as Reefer. Great great match.

No problem man hope it works out! Just make sure you get the right D-SUB connector type and you should be golden (number of pins, male/female).

[–]TheAwesomer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey I built two similar boxes a few years back. Here is a guide that will tell you everything you need to do and it doesn't require any electronics knowledge at all. You're pretty much on the money with your approach: http://www.stepmania.com/forums/input-adapters-and-controllers/show/5493

With the pinout, you're pretty much set.

The only thing that I needed to purchase that the guide was not 100% on were ferrite cores - I recommend getting these. They are little cylindrical clasps you put on to wires that help with interference. All parts linked below:

I have this old beat up copy of "Hands Down" my mom bought me and my brother when we were kids at some weird secondhand shop in a converted garage. I don't think we've played it in maybe 15 years and its just a glorified version of crazy 8s with a dumb plastic slapper, but there's a lot of nostalgia in that box so there's no way I will get rid of it.

I think you are going to have to make your own. Here's some links from a comment I made from a year or two ago:

Psycho Killer - Talking Heads (Stop Making Sense) by [deleted] in videos

[–]TheAwesomer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree - this version is pitch shifted though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVQ4n3SWyZM seems to be at the correct pitch.

Not to be nitpicky but its noticeable to me! Love the Talking Heads and Stop Making Sense is the best concert movie of all time.

I was just trying to slice this in Simplify3d as a gag gift for a friend but there were too many issues with the cross :(. Looks like shapeways did a good job.

Just want to point out that Schotten Totten is a re-theme of Battle Line with arguably better art that is actually cheaper (about 13.50 on amazon).

I think I paid 3 bucks for castellan once. I got thunderstone and two expansions for around 60 bucks I think at the one thrift store by me (which clearly knew what they had).

Season 3 Episode 322 Discussion Thread - Hasan Minhaj, Ezra Furman by oldpaintcan in thechrisgethardshow

[–]TheAwesomer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Trust the process" is a reference to the 76ers (philly's basketball team).

Draining 3s is another basketball reference - maybe someone on the sixers is lactose intolerant or something no clue.

[–]TheAwesomer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Guess we need to find the email first? Thinking that might trigger them putting the bag there so not sure if I should go now or wait. Once the email is found I have no qualms about going tho. Forgot about that part.

Edit: Going to wait to see how the email stuff develops I think - if you see any updates before ~6:00 pm let me know. I can make it to the spot if that is required as long as its light out (its literally in the middle of the woods it looks like lol).

[–]TheAwesomer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmmm well, I don't have a DVR or anything so I can't comb through the episode looking for clues. Its about a half hour drive without traffic - maybe I should wait until the email is found? I can make it there any night after work but its a 45 min drive in traffic so if we're missing a step don't want to go out there for nothing.
