Project Thunderseal (Arcade Stick Build)

Dec 8, 2013

I got a call from work asking me to take two of my co-worker's shift for a total of 11 hours in one day and at first I was thinking to myself “Hell no!” but then later changed my mind because I could use that money to pay for my arcade stick project.

Fight Stick Diaries Part 01

Oct 30, 2012

About a month ago I bought the limited edition Madcatz Evo fight stick from my local game store and brought it home. I've always been itching to play with a stick for as long as I can remember, but was hesitant on it because of the price. Well it didn't matter anymore since I sold most of my movies and DVDs to save up for one and I did. Guess what happens after buying one? After playing with it...
