Shin-Gouki

Just got mine. The crimp tool is a bit on the tight side and I had to use one of the pulls as a tool to shove the zipper in. I also had to re crimp them about a total of 2-3 times to get them to where I was comfortable with them being attached and not worried about them coming off.

Yeah it sucks, bunch of lowlifes out there. Someone obviously knew how expensive that Screwdriver is and snagged it. Dealing with getting a new car now (Waiting on the Payout) I guess it will be a while before I replace it sadly.

Yeah it was scary AF. No someone stole it from the car while it was at the tow year

So worst of the two is my Screwdriver was Stolen from my car at the Tow Yard after I was in an Accident (Someone cut me off and I slammed on my breaks right as I hit a massive puddle on the Freeway and I spun 360 before going headfirst into the wall). I went back to get the rest of my stuff out of the car and my LTT Screwdriver was gone. Struggling with spending that much on another screwdriver TBH. On top of that I ordered my little pupper a Wag Hoodie (and I did measure him before ordering) and when I tried to put it on him it was too small. Anyone else have any Bummer Stories with LTT Merch?

Friend sent it to me, she was at Riotfest

I personally taking a wait and see position. Time will give me a position.

I have had 3 now. 40 oz Black and Gold that became a stealth when the gold wore off, a newer Black and Gold that is fine but doesn't hold it's cold nearly as well as the other 2, and a 64 oz Burple and Green that feels like it's Powder Coated (my newest one) and it's holding up very well and it holds its cold not as good as the old Black and Gold but a LOT better than the newer black and gold. I have stopped using the newer Black and Gold and it sits on the shelf as it looks good but sucks as far as holding cold even with a ton of ice in it.

My father always said Trust but verify. I will be watching and we will see what happens.

Yeah over a week late

If I need something now I drive over an hour (each way) to Micro Center in Tustin otherwise it's Amazon. I miss having Fry's Electronics down the street

Thanks man, I have been trying for things I am way overqualified for but people see my resume and are like He'll be gone as soon as something better comes along. I have Disabilities as well so that limits what I can do. Thanks for the kind words brotha

Mostly Drama people jumping on the big train going on sadly

Honestly, not the best. Been unemployeed for about a year now, unemployment is long gone and I'm selling things to keep going. Had some interviews (which is VERY hard for a complete introvert like me) but yeah.

Yep

I think at this point I am going to walk away from this whole thing, wait for some of the dust to settle and try to extrapolate what I believe this situation really is. There is a lot of heat here (to use a term from my old Pro Wrestling Days) and a lot of people adding fuel to this fire from a few angles now. Hopefully enough factual evidence comes forward that we can get a clear picture but as of right now this is literally a Fire Tornado and I'm evacuating from it.

Am I the only one that finds it humorous that a bunch of people joined this forum just to climb on this train

@LinusTech When you are the big dog in the yard anytime you slip up or have any sort of Misstep the competition will be all over you. I was an admin at TFW2005.com for 10 years and we were (and they still are arguably) the biggest Transformers Fan Site out there and I dealt with blowups like this all the time from people from other sites that would come for our throats when we so much as stubbed our toe. (And don't get me started on when Hasbro came to us to handle information gathering and feedback on the first Masterpiece Optimus Prime) I get it man, perhaps more than a lot of people. You pour your heart and soul into something, you try to be as fair and honest and transparent as you can and there is always going to be people coming after you. While I have nothing bad to say about Steve's content and I don't know him myself I can only say that this brought up a lot of old memories of the BS I dealt with back in the day and It sucks. It's crap like this that lead to me retiring from TFW because it gets to you on a deeply personal level when you have so much emotionally invested in what you do. In the end all I can say is I'm glad you are taking the high road on this, I think you can be proud of the content you create, the Transparency you show and everything you have built. Just from an educated outsiders prospective I would say that there are people that have chips on their shoulders and that one unfortunate statement by a member of your team (and we all say things from time to time when we are proud of what we have worked on that sounds great in our head and comes out tone deaf at best and arrogant and adversarial at worst when all we wanted to do is tout what we have accomplished) set people off that were already on edge for some reason or another. You keep doing what you do, I'll be here for it and am shooting for LTX Next Year followed by a Cruise out of Vancouver (With some Canadian A&W and All Dressed and Ketchup Chips in between) Stay Strong Brotha

I took it on Southwest with zero issues

I'd like to see a video on that Coleco Mini Arcade that @LinusTech had had in the background of a few videos and mentioned on the WAN Show

Cool insight. I left the industry around the time The Rings were launching

Crazy Taxi was Naomi (Dreamcast Based) it was Crazy Taxi 3's arcade release that was on Chihiro (Spent most of my life before going over to standard IT in the Arcade Industry and actually worked for Sega when the Naomi and Chihiro were being used)

Love the Galaxian Coleco Mini Arcade Machine!

LOVE the vintage Coleco Mini Arcade in the Background
