Prepare To Joust - Part 02

One suggestion Vinny is that you may try a 4 way or 6 way screw driver. It gives you a better selection for a bit correct for the head-slot. I use one that gives me some other choices (star, torque etc) and has a ratchet function that comes in handy in close quarters or I want to be careful.

This might sound crazy but I think Vinny could start a new Whiskey Media site that's just about repairing and improving on stuff. It doesn't even have to be video game related for me to watch it. It could be anything from him fixing up an old classic car to renovating a house.

Ah, those old cracky knees, eh.

I'm really enjoying these. Hope there's a 3 installment sometime soon!

Loving all the new premium content. I wasn't that fond of the Happy Hour segment and now actually feel like I am getting something extra for my money.

@zombie2011: Oh man hearing about resistors and capacitors brings back great memories from my Engineering circuits class

This better lead to a Joust Scrub League.

Learning a lot about arcade machines even though I do not have one (yet)! Keep up the good job Vinny and Drew!

Vinny has Hanta virus now =(

That Joust machine is probably the only arcade machine I'd ever want to own besides maybe a Donkey Kong or a Kung Fu.

Such a thing of beauty....

This is intricate stuff. I would have thought all arcade machines these days are just PCs emulating the games.

This series is just awesome.

These are the only suitable replacement for game room quicklooks.

I love all the Dutch angles in this video.

I just want vinny to buy an empty cabinet and every week put something new in it until he has a full machine.. that would be the best.

This was pretty sweet.

Oh, yes, but they need to get real cabinets of every single arcade machine that was in Game Room (not that many as just about every game on Game Room was Atari 2600 ports)

The new ones being made yea, Taito Type-X series are just regular PCs with some security dongles and tiny bits of unique hardware, running Windows XP. The encryption in that was broken in record time, but still, old 80's games and some early 90's still have undefeated encryption. Many games are emulated with work-arounds to bypass protection, Bubble Bobble being a prime example of this - it's just not working exactly right.

Amazing things happened in the 80's.

good job vinny and drew , friggin working joust machnine!

Thats AWESOME!

wuubb wubbb wubbb

Joust scrub league?

The Joust machine looks great, cannot wait to see Vinny's finish product someday.

joust scrub league!

Why do I get the feeling that Vinny is a genius? Like, someone who has a crazy aptitude for practical physics.

Muppet Vinny fixing stuff is the best part of Membership Round 2 videos.

Watching these remind of how it feels every time I have to open up some electronic device.

When in doubt, Joust do it!

I am going to start cleaning all my video game equipment with diapers now.

love these videos but the shakey cam is making me sick

When these guys get too old to cover new games or whatever, they need to do a show about restoring arcade and pinball machines. Like some New Yankee Workshop/This Old House business.

That would be so amazing.

When everything switches over to iPhones and Facebook, we will still have a home.

Shit they can play Neo-Geo games all day for all I care.

They should totally play some Neo-Geo games.

Nice Vinny. Every true gamer should own their own arcade machine.

Great camera work on this feature!

Awesome stuff. Great work, guys. Loving these new subscriber videos!

Honestly, if there were just a segment where Vinny repaired things I'd probably watch. Next week, the noisy dryer!

Loving this segment

Very cool. Excited to see if you find more stuff to optimize and make videos out of.

Can't wait to see the finished machine; should look awesome.

That was great!

Vinny loves some Joust

joust QL incoming :)

Thanks Vinny and Drew

I want all of these things.

Steed!

I "flap" all the time. This video actually made me "flap" twice in a row!

This is great stuff guys. This is the kind of stuff I love, just a duder fixing a Joust machine. What more can you ask for?

A duder fixing a Joust pinball machine.

Why is Vinny's Joust machine in the Saw dungeon?

Because he wants to play a game...
