Making old hardware work with new hardware (and work accurately) is a fascinating process. And very important in the world of video games. Awesome work.

P.S. Thanks for the help, Mary Kish!

Cool and interesting and I'm glad Dan's sabotage of streaming plans has led to this.

Man, I had never realised just how stacked with cables and insane wiring all of their recording spaces must be. Very cool video, thank you for this guys!

This was really interesting and really mind boggling at the same time. Nice job Drew and Jason! And way to ruin everything for everyone all the time, Dan!

Force people to record more Bombasticas in there if nothing else. It cannot be left to go to waste.

Or start your own branch of Soda Popinski's on the premises, I dunno. I'm sure it's legal to serve drinks there.

Man, that seems like it must have been a nightmare to get set up. Hope you guys think of things to make use of it while it's still all there and not dismantled. Live Bombastica filmings, perhaps?

Wow that looks intense for a "simple" NES stream. But it was worth it!

After so long listening to the bombcast I realize that I probably know the least about drew's personal life. He's a man of mystery.

Always glad to see more Jason on screen! Drew should Bombastica Conflict on NES since they have the setup and it's the best game on the NES. (my personal fav at least even over SMB3 ):p

Could the future of this setup be inexorably tied to the next installment of Metal Gear Scanlon?! It can't be...

How about a daily/weekly random nes game, or other era appropriate console, live stream. That way you can keep the setup and do some cool premium content. I would love to be greedy and say go for hours but respecting your time how about a 30 minute type of thing.

I like the peanut gallery camera idea where people can just drop by a say stuff into the mic. Wouldn't be a bad idea for the main studio at UPF for people to drop by and say stuff on the mic

After so many great episodes of Eye of the Rykert it's great to finally see how it was made.

@unastrike @drewbert Great work guys! I really hope you can use that set-up for something/anything else. Although, I know that Jeff has probably already taken his Nintendo home because he wants to maintain the museum quality and all that. Thanks to videographer Mary Kish as well!
