Robotron Monitor Discharge Videos

So I discharged the monitor to my Robotron cab and did the cap kit this weekend. Here is some video from my first attempt to do this. Obviously, since I am posting this blog, I did not electrocute myself, this time.

Robotron Dreams Revisited

Well, as many of you know, I picked up my very own Robotron Cab recently and have been working on my high scores. One small issue is that currently the screen width is messed up and about 10% of the playing field on both sides is not visable. Check out the picture below for an idea of how much is "off-screen" and thus not visable while playing.

Back from Vacation (sort of)

Well, I am back from my vacation with my girlfriend. We went to Madison, WI to attend her 20th High School Reunion. I actually had fun (much more so than if I went to my own 20th) and was able to really relax for the first time in a long time. I have some pretty cool pictures from our trip, but have not had time to upload them yet. For that matter, I have a ton of content, including interviews from the Chicago Comicon and other assorted photos that I need to organize and get up.

New Toy and Ocytocin Show

Check out my newest toy.

All Hail the Holy Grail!

The machine has some minor sound and display issues, but the cab and controls are in pristine shape. I will be working on my high scores in no time.

Please keep voting for Nygel

I would like to extend our sincerest thanks to everyone who has voted for Nygel so far. The voting resets tonight at midnight. Nygel has received just under 240 votes, which is very respectable. However, the winner from last week got 1,500 votes. We have ten more weeks to get Nygel in the finals. Votes reset each week at midnight on Friday and the top dog after 7 days moves on. So please, everyone keep voting from as many computers as you can and please ask your friends and family to vote for Nygel as well. I apologize for spamming everyone, but this is really important to us.
