In search for an arcade stick I find garbage(rant); Brad Nicholson's dream comes true.
de BLOO \| 8:00 PM on 06.15.2009	8 comments

This really irks me.

Ok really? Most ,if not all, arcade stick buyers are looking for a stick with a heavy weight to it, we don't want it moving while we rush that shit down. Another thing, its pretty clear he just soldered the buttons and stick to the 360's PCB...well I'm not entirely sure but I think most companies that make genuine sticks don't. Then comes the entire pitch of this guy's idea, and the want of Brad Nicholson, a wireless arcade stick. Anybody serious about their fighting games know that when playing on a console, a wire is a must. Even if your holding that stick as close as you can to your 360/PS3 there will still be lag, fuck that shit puto. Then comes the part that really irks me, the way that jerk picks up the stick. That will fuck it up so badly.

AND LOOK HOW WELL IT WORKS!!!!

My god, I can't believe he has an arcade stick and I'm stuck with the 360 controller....

Gracias The Cleaning Guy!

Brad Nicholson

Hori is hot, but I'm still waiting out the TE Stick's return. :(

Bulkmailer

That black Hori is buttery but I wish they would tell you the weight.

TheCleaningGuy

No problem de BLOO!
Also, @ Bulkmailer, I think it's about 6 pounds/ 2.6kg if it's at all similar to the PS3 HRAPs.

I loooooove my TE stick. Got a laser cut plexi top for it, too.. with the 6 button layout. Perhaps I should blog about it.

Ohey!

Have a seat buddy!

I'm a 17 year old Mexican American. My name is Hector.

My gaming started at my local money laundering sport's bar/restuarant. They had some arcade Machines like Metal Slug 3, Puzzle Bobble, and My favorite Marvel Super Heroes Vs. Street Fighter.

But sadly the place is under new, anti-gaming, management that foolishly THREW away those machines at the local dump... I was planning to buy MSH Vs. SF from them. :'[

I had a Sega Genesis(Mega Drive), but the only game I had was *le sigh* Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers:The Movie:The game...

Soon after I purchased the N64, I never heard of Zelda those days, for shame I'm sure. Just ended up playing Smash Bros. and a game called WAR GODS, I loved it. Looking back now, WAR GODS was utter shit.

Then I bought a PS2, That's when "I got into gaming"...I guess that's the best way to phrase that?

Now I'm playing with the 360. It's fun. I share my 360 with my gf and 3 of our friends.

Games I currently play(all 360) in no order :

Street Fighter IV[duh]
HD REMIX
Marvel vs Capcom 2
Gears of War 2
Halo 3
Peggle
Tetris Splash
CoD4: MW
Metal Slug 3
Puzzle Fighter HD
TMNT:ARCADE 1989

Kongou Kokuretsu Zan!

SF:IV Championship:

CURRENT POSITION: G1-E

Also, fuck the haters:

VENUSAUR!!!

And of course,
