DavidCore89 7,402 Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Yeah C64 FTW! Had one of those Spectrums too (well my brother did). People these days think GTA takes a long time to load... What did I do today? Nothing, it's Sunday . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronin 596 Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 That is one fine job there Skip ! But just like Z I was more of a Commodore/Atari 2600 type of guy (Space Invaders anyone?). OT, didn't do anything noteworthy today. Woohoo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torrid 653 Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 In amongst the usual weekend household chores I decided to repair the joypad that had a little 'accident' during a particularly frustrating GTA session. (Although it had a pretty hard life playing GT6 and uncharted too). Open joypad surgery: It took a repair to the casing with hot glue, resolder the dislodged vibration motor and replaced the damaged joypad thumbsticks but it survived: All it cost was £3 for the button kit off eBay (I didn't bother to replace them all, just the damaged ones). I need to test it fully, but I will be blaming all race losses on this joypad, even if I'm using the new one I bought. These things are not fun to put back together. I had a controller with a cracked case and another with bad internals so I combined the good parts. The L and R buttons were a pain to keep lined up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skip_rat 447 Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 I've never had a C64. It was Spectrum/ST/Amiga then PS1/2/3 for me. I noticed that there is a bit of a market for retro computer stuff on eBay these days so I've been picking stuff up at boot fairs. Latest was an Atari ST for £5 but it needs a major cleanup. All of the computers came with a load of games and peripherals so I hope to make a bit of cash once its all cleaned up and tested. These things are not fun to put back together. I had a controller with a cracked case and another with bad internals so I combined the good parts. The L and R buttons were a pain to keep lined up. It took me 3 attempts and a bit of cursing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackRabbit 130 Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 A bit late but for Halloween we went to a concert that played until 3am-ish. The band more than embarrasingly called the wife and I up on stage and said that they wanted us to dance while they played the Addams Family. Well, first, we can't dance..so that was going to be interesting. Second, when they said Addams Family, they apparently meant the M.C.Hammer version, not the TV theme song. I'd say that things went fine, we didn't knock anything over, didn't trip and fall over cords (or each other) on stage and only bumped into the bass player once It was definitely memorable. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggy 2,811 Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Took my kid's to the Bellagio, Hershey and M&M store today. Also remembered why I hated going to Las Vegas Blvd (The Strip) as a local. Either way, it was nice to get out of the house for a change and see some sights around the city. Next time we will go do something away from town and these crazy ass tourists. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustHatched 12,103 Posted November 4, 2014 Author Share Posted November 4, 2014 I sold my 1965 Triumph Spitfire today. Made a bunch of grave blankets, trying to get use to all the holiday help we hired (bunch of extra noise in the shop). Picked up the new Call of Duty for the oldest son (birthday is this coming Sunday). 2 Quote The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.

Matty 745 Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Shame, restored they look great. But I know what you mean I haven't done job 1 on the Beemer I got back in April and I got that with the intention of fixing it up. Who knows maybe one day I'll put "finished the Beemer" in this topic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beez 5,091 Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Today, I rode my bike to work. Big deal. Well it was 37F (2.7C) and will probably be my last ride until April. You never know though, might get that odd warm day in Feb or March. It happens. Also shot photos for a magazine ad of these LED driving lights and used my bike to model them on, then started designing the ad. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
