    Tell me about it, I don't know how you made that Raiden video you posted a little while ago!

    I usually swear a blue streak when I play. Perhaps subduing that for the video is what threw me off :D

    Lol what you never see is the 10+ recordings showing silly early deaths or half decent runs with stupid cock ups all the while trying to get a good recording in before the fecking camera battery dies. Also have to mute the phone/tablet/tv, make sure i'm not blocking any of the pic etc. The hassle. :pac:

    Haha oh right! I wouldn't have thought, looks like one shoot off the cuff.

    I kept sniffling in my video. Didn't even know I had a runny nose :pac:

    I plan on dedicating a mountain of time to Raiden and Raiden 2 once the pony arrives. Wil definitely be looking back over your vid for tips.

    I'm unavailable to take delivery of it until the end of the month, so it's currently still sitting in the Netherlands.

    The wait is killing me :(

    As soon as it lands I'll be doing a filthy photoshoot, don't worry! May even hire a page 3 model.

    Are arcades split across sectarian divides up there?
    If so, what cabs could one expect in a green or orange arcade?
    My guess there'd be a preoccupation with the likes of Time Crisis and Point Blank!
    Our is this in bad taste.... I shall wait to be banned, or at least warned, by a cat mod....

    The AO regulars here may have spotted Monouchi's recently posted pic of his setup.

    Awesome. That is all.

    Aye it's very slick. I'm guessing all of those posters would add up to the price of a cab!

    Work with what you have I guess. To me it looks bright, clean and spacious. The white candies compliment the space perfectly imo.

    Something magical happened last night. But it's something which would only be appreciated by the likes of you guys..nobody could understand why I was so excited :D

    So one of the best things about going to Bray Bowl BYOB nights is that they have a deluxe sit down HOTD2 cab. It's one of my favourite games and to be honest, I'd pay the admittance for the night just to play it.

    So my girlfriend and one of our friends credit fed the game from start to finish (something great to see on it's own!).

    2013-04-202350451_zps2cc7053d.jpg

    While they were doing that, I thought I'd inspect the cab a bit, freak that I am. It's in really good condition. Joked with the girlfriend about buying it from them, she agreed.

    While I was looking at the player 2 side, I noticed that the bowling alley had stuck a big red sticker over something. I looked closely to try and read what it said underneath. Was it maybe some promotional thing from the past?

    Then I realized - it said 'AGENT 2'

    'Why would the bowling Alley stick a red sticker over this sign?'

    - no they didn't - this is a factory sticker!!! :eek:

    The cab has been sitting on site since 1999, I've played it millions of times, and never noticed that when they bought it, they forgot to remove one of the factory stickers.

    So guys, I give you, 14 years later, 'Agent 2'!! factory Fresh!!!

    2013-04-20235640_zps325b1aec.jpg

    (Yes I did keep the sticker :D)

    On a separate note, seeing Bray young ones trying to play Silent Scope in their heels and going out gear is hilarious :pac:

    Oisin re HOTD2
    So are you saying that bray bowl didn't fully remove all the packaging/protective tape when the cab first arrived all those years ago?
    Its just sat there like that until now?

    Yep, the protective tape over the 'Agent 2' title artwork in the pic hasn't been removed in 14 years of being on the floor...until I noticed it last night that is :)

    It was literally just a big piece of red covering tape stuff over the 'Agent 2' part to protect it in transit. The rest of the artwork on the side panel was viewable.

    I think it went unnoticed as the tape itself isn't just a rectangle, it's curved. Kind of looks like part of the artwork.

    Was a pretty big piece of tape though. Thick too. I'd say I'd have been chucked out if they'd seen me removing it :pac:

    This guy has the greatest collection of PCBs I've ever seen.

    It's literally MAME in PCB form.
