Haha that valve limit was pathetic

That the racing game with the chick that comes on and obscures half the screen whilst you're driving?

That was **** rubbish.

[yosai]

Yeah many thanks for that. I had a few goes at it, quite relaxing to play with nice bullet patterns.

Didn't know about the slo mo button until I saw Skykid playing it (good run btw), will definitely purchase if it becomes available.

My pics, much the same as other peoples but they are there if you want a look

Getting photos of yourself playing cabs = true geek.

[SuperPang]

Which cab had the worst geometry kern?

[emphatic]

No photos of Andy Geezer Services and Lordstar stalls by any chance?

[cools]

Which cab had the worst geometry kern?

None of them were particularly bad - there were a few that badly needed pincushion adjustment but that got ignored as there simply wasn't time to tweak anything much beyond what was on the remote board.

Best geometry were those monitors Grant was selling. I've had word that mine's been picked up today which I'm really pleased about

[SuperPang]

I hope they're floating around for a while. Decent new monitors are hard to come by. Would've had one but spaceblahblah.

[SuperPang]

Nah, thats on Youtube already. Pity you can't change the v-size on your male chicken eh kern?

[cools]

They won't be, that's why I've encouraged anyone who had room in their transport simply to nab one. Grant can't store them.

I can appreciate people passing over the purchase and store of £400+ NOS tri-syncs, but these are £50 a pop! Skipping them is a bigger arcade sin than sticking a massive wooden CP on an MVS-U4...

[tetsujin]

i bought one

[yosai]

i bought all but one

[tetsujin]

i bought all but one

I was tempted but then I stopped and asked myself, why? hahaha

I don't think I will ever use the one I got unless I drop one of my MS9's!

[cools]

Point is, it's saved from the skip Even if you never use it, it could be a lifesaver for someone else.
