Arcade Paradise VR "this isn't a bug, it's a feature"
Stumbled across this funny message when I first played Arcade Paradise VR. I wonder what the code says?

Bomb Bee arcade paddle game

Great thing about playing MAME originals is you can feel the original control scheme, in this case a paddle. I've tried Bomb Bee with a NeGcon controller on PS1 and the Wiimote and neither are very good.

Bought this little portable cooling fan and I have to say, it's awesome! But exactly what model is it? Get the one I bought here: www.amazon.ca/dp/B0CFG9TXJC?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details Or get a regular Arctic Air Chill here www.amazon.ca/Arctic-Air-Pocket-Personal-Cooler/dp/B09QH39P4C/ref=sr_1_9_mod_primary_new?crid=2HV7CBTVNJ465

Down the Rabbit Hole, I love this video!
Thanks man! My video isn't a bug ... it's a feature! LOL
Black butter? I've never heard of that before. They'll be making black puddings next!
I'll bet they would keep such things near Black and Tans
Whoa-oa Black Butter, bam-ba-lam Whoa-oa Black Butter, bam-ba-lam Black Butter is a spread, bam-ba-lam It kills your tastebuds dead, bam-ba-lam...
@@Dracopol LOL
It's an apple butter. My mom enjoys them me not so much. Should have spread it on some buttered toast.
Aaaaahhhhh ..... but then ..... why is it black??
The problem with gyrojets (based on the real-life experimental weapons) lies in the fact that they're practically useless at point-blank range, as they require travel time to reach maximum velocity once they leave the barrel.
but don't you think their damage potential is also kinda weak?
@@DowntheRabbitHole0 depends on range. If it's point-blank or short range, the damage as written should apply. As range increases, so should damage. Since at medium to long range the gyrojet projectile has reached max velocity, there's also overpenetration and possible shrapnel in a small area. A gyrojet round should be treated like a bolter round in Warhammer 40k. A small rocket propelled grenade that can pierce moderate armor if it's travelling fast enough.
Pistol Poker wasn't really a Gottlieb Table. It was an Alvin G table, which was a seperate company.
Oh really? Good to know. I wish I knew more about pinball. Historically I was more of a Pac-Man / Asteroids guy in the arcade so my appreciation of pinball is retroactive.
Used to buy the re-imagined Amazing Stories, wondering how it was when there were so many more of those types of magazines, not knowing that most of the ones that were CURRENTLY available would disappear
The good ol' days of print media are definitely numbered if not already dead.
@@DowntheRabbitHole0 Especially magazines. Books still seem to sell, although it's hard to say how well given that numbers are sometimes hidden or fudged...
Yeah, there was so much more effort in finding people, it just felt different to have a name connected to an address in print. Once things became so much easier to research and people to locate it sort of changed how all of this felt. Still, while I'm old enough to remember seeing these things in print I'm still shocked to see them now, since now-me knows how low-effort unwanted contact can be :) It's great that they managed to facilitate these sorts of meetups, however frequent it really was. We have a lot more connections now but a lot more fear... makes me wonder how easy it is to find a pick up group you actually want to play a game with
I hear modern D&D groups are desperate for DM's these days they're offering to pay someone to DM them.
@@DowntheRabbitHole0 It might be the nature of 5e specifically, since a lot of the other games making GMing more attractive, but yeah I've heard some rumblings of an imbalance. Stuff like West Marches and other older styles of play where there are a lot of participants rotating in and out may be a partial solution to that? Would mean a paradigm shift for 5e, though
As a kid I think I did wonder at the Telosian connection. I also thought of this as one of the more interesting episodes from when I'd watched it once a long time ago, one of the most memorable. When I watched it again on disc it landed a bit different, but I'd probably need to see it yet again to really cement my opinion. Her healing ability is more interesting that the usual miraculous healing you see in SF or fantasy, there's a cost of sorts. It's got a big heart... it's too bad this is the screenwriter's only credit as far as I can tell. Something that just occurred to me... there are stories where a species is on a doomed world and because the prime directive prevents contact with pre-warp species (I think that's the criteria?) they have to be left to their fate. What the heavies of the episode are doing is twistedly reminiscent of this, only getting to the heart of what the Federation is supposedly about, species willing to work together or, in this case, perform self-sacrifice for the betterment of others. Only their program, as awful as it is, is accelerated, direct, and potentially will save the species in a way that the Federation wouldn't (unless rules are broken). It doesn't justify their methods but both are advanced groups passing judgement on people they happen upon, despite having the power to save them and maintain galactic diversity...
Definitely an episode with a lot of heart. Some commenters have told me it was DeForest Kelley's favorite. Interesting the point you made about these institutions passing judgement on other species, I hadn't really thought about that before but you're right.
The movie was excellent. How long did it take to get to all these places?
We squeezed these all inside a week while simultaneously visiting relatives. My only wish is that we could have got more locations done on the trip.
OK, well... you know what? I like this more, because I was sort of disillusioned when I'd heard the opposite. Some of the emblems looked weird (the rug) and I thought it would work against the point of emblems like that, to identify people belonging to a significant group. If every ship had different symbols it'd be hard to keep track, although I guess it'd add a sense of pride for each ship. Still feel like a lot of the uniforms depicted should still be considered as "Starfleet" though, maybe it's more belonging to a ship of the line or whatever the slightly less anachronistic version of that term would be. Surprising that this was solved so recently!
I'm right here with you. My buddy was a huge Trek fan when we were kids and when he told me each ship has its own insignia I thought that didn't make a lot of sense in a big organization like Starfleet. To find out recently Roddenberry always had it this way in his head came as a relief to me.
Fun! Thank you for this. Makes me want to watch the film again. Hope more people learn about it, very entertaining
You're very welcome! I only wish we had managed to find more of the locations during the week we were there.
So jelous ! Since I played many Paladins in various D&D campaigns with you your video inspired me to add the Paladin walk in Northern Ireland on my travel bucket list! Kevin I was wondering if you are a Game Of Thrones fan and intend to visit any castles they used as scenes from the tv series?!
I really enjoyed Game of Thrones ....... until those last two episodes. At that point I tossed the whole series to the curb. Sorry. The D&D movie was an improvement for sure.
I've been to Northern Ireland once (in Glenarm) and seen the movie twice but I never drew a connection between the two. This was really quite surprising. I think I'll have to go watch the movie a third time.
I highly recommend it Jerry... I was surprised how much I liked the film so visiting these sites was fun!
While in the land of the Fae be wary of any food or drink they offer you. And i would advise against dancing with any faerie maidens.
LOL thanks Dan, sage-like advice there. You must be a wizard!
@@DowntheRabbitHole0 Nay. I despise all weavers of the black arts. Give me a good length of steel and a foe that can bleed.
@@dantherpghero2885 forsooth!
A few less "I don't know" comments would have been better. Do your homework.
Good point Nancy. Better yet, I should live in the UK where having kippers is far more common and regular.
Good for you Kevin! The equivalent for me was back in 87 buying and reading HeavyMetal magazine which were sold every where and now maybe in Comic book stores if it still is in print?!
Yeah I guess these days digital distribution has taken over the world. It's almost like the 80's are a thing of the past? Perish the thought!
I don’t know anything about high altitude affecting your taste buds but I swear drinking alcohol at 36000 feet is like drinking tap water and it’s affect hits me harder once the plane lands! Maybe try that experiment on your return trip Kevin 😅
oooooOOOOooo! Challenge accepted!
You succeeded where I failed - you actually found copies of 2000 AD! Would love to know why it's so hard to find, though.
I have posted it in the 2000AD Facebook group asking if any of them know why it's so hard to find. I guess it's just not 1987 anymore dammit.
Very true mate. I was reading from prog 1 and still read. I still remember alot of the stories, I'm nearly 60 now and still read 😁. I make dredd badges also, that's how much I love the magazine.
@@shokk1967 Great to hear from a fellow 2000 fan! Someone on The RPF was custom making judge badges so I simply HAD to get one with my name on. Drokk!
Glad to see you get some of Scotland's REAL national drink in this video too! Irn bru, NOT whiskey. Just had some myself before watching actually haha
absolutely Swifto, this is tasty stuff .... apparently it's made from girders!
Have a great trip Kevin!
@@vandas5613 great vids a-comin' Vanda ... here I goooooooo
Wow, the view out the window looks amazing. I've never flown before and I probably never will but sure looks cool. I like how well you managed to sync the audio with the video. I always have a hard time with editing audio stuff like, well done good sir.
Thanks Swifto! Yup it's a loooooong way down. It just made sense to do this as voice over as I was incomprehensible when I spoke. I mean, more incomprehensible than usual that is.
Enjoy the trip!
thanks man! here we gooooooooooooo!
Ahh you never know what to expect from Down the Rabbit Hole. Commercial flights are pressurized, but usually the pressure is around 8,000FT, So it would be like drinking Tomato juice at 8,000FT. I use to skydive a lot, plane is unpressurized, normal jump altitude is 13,500ft, but sadly I never thought of trying tomato juice at that height. Have fun over seas.
Thanks Brandon! So would it taste different at a lower height? Or would the taste be more noticable in an unpressurized cabin? Seems I missed something in this experiment.
@@DowntheRabbitHole0 I think there is only one thing to do, you and I need to go skydiving, and we will bring lots of tomato juice, trying it at 1000ft intervals in the unpressurized cabin up to 14,000ft, and taking notes. Then we jump out. My guess is it would taste a bit ‘muted’ at high altitude. There have been times when circling at 14,000-15,000ft waiting to jump that we get a bit of tunnel vision and colors and get a slight bit desaturated.
@@bjy128 it's a date!
If I were there I would have secretly swapped your tomato juice with bloody mary mix, just for kicks :-).
It might have helped the flight go by faster too LOL
I always find it slightly amusing when games set in space like this have you playing in a 2D playing field, especially when it's a Star Trek game, considering the ending of Wrath of Khan. Mind you I did play an old PC Star Trek game a few years ago, can't remember which one, where they did have a 3D playing field and it was very very difficult to navigate, I just died a lot and ended up giving up.
Ah yes the old Star Trek mantra of "flat space". I found it interesting in Bridge Crew that even that game had the same notion. I mean, you COULD go up and down but not much. I think Star Trek thinks space is like a really wide aquarium Switfo LOL
What if its really stuck where i can't just grab it. How do you get it out then....
Hmmm not sure. Is the entire filter tube grabbable? Maybe you can pull it out or something. At least this way you have practically full access to the whole thing. Admittedly I'm not an actual repair man, I just found this solution personally.
Pac land 0:04
very true
I used to beg everyone to play this game with me.
So did I. My brother was happy enough to join me but he was about the only one.
Happy I got this copy when I did
Right??? Isn't collecting crazy these days? I wonder what the SNES original goes for now. Nuts!
@@DowntheRabbitHole0 A lot of money. Hell, it went for insane amounts of Cash just after the DS version was released.
Cool game. I think a lot of people didn't like Gravitar (or Thrust), because it requires more skill than simply moving or shooting. The constant fighting of gravity along with having to shoot enemies below you (which means you can't fight gravity) made it too hard for most gamers back then (and now, tbh). Curious... Why do the planets have numbers like 1000 and 3000 if they're not boosting your score by such when you complete them?!?
Good point Tony. I played the arcade original back in the day so for me it's second-nature as to how to play but maybe that is why folks didn't like it. As to why the scores don't match, not sure, a glitch from the programmer? In the years since, I wonder if they ever patched it?
The captain's chair is awesome! This seems like a pretty cool game for the DS.
To both comments I'm certain Mr. Spock would declare ..... Logical.
Nice! I know that Bethesda made a Star Trek game for the PS2, but I can’t remember what the name is. I do remember playing it and enjoying it a lot.
Im thinking of one .... Evasion maybe? Plays similar to this .... or maybe Star Trek Evasion was on the PS1
Uncharted planet? Fine. Send some AI-powered probes (Star Wars' probot, anyone?). Don't risk any people on such a task, until it is better mapped and understood. Once it's established the planet is rich with gold deposits and hordes of gorgeous alien women, then I'll charter a ship. 😁
I agree, Victor, the premise of this mission is as flawed as being shoe-horned into going to the escape pods without any weapons. Should be every player's first hint of the problem.
Huh? Since when was the audio as high as heard here?
you mean out of my Vectrex? admittedly the knob for power/volume is getting a bit dirty so it's either super quiet or super loud these days
Wow Doc this is heavy! I feel that you really have to have some Huey Lewis and the news playing while driving this thing. Of course not on RUclips though.
Great SCOTT! Yeah no licensed music for us, eh Swifto? Pooh.
Polyphonic Digital did a great job with this game. The Delorean is iconic but i was never a fan of it. Cool to see it racing though.
@@CatsGamesWhatever Totally knocked it out of the park. The game is just fun to race even if you're not huge into racing. I will say it's cool in VR to actually sit in the car ... the headroom is far more restrictive than I thought.
Don’t worry fella. I’m nearly 60 and I’m loving psvr2.
Thanks man! Makes me feel better. These darn whipper-snappers, I tells ya.
DeLorean? If my calculations are correct, when this baby hits 88 miles per hour you're gonna see some serious shit.
@@MaximumRD Great SCOTT!
Hello, I wanted to ask. Can I voice your video into Russian if you don't mind?
Absolutely, go for it!
@@DowntheRabbitHole0 thanks
To me like the Wagon Wheels just from the UK❤🤤😋🍪🇬🇧! (if anything, I am Russian😊🇷🇺)
Good stuff! I wonder if the UK ones are still the same old size maybe?
@@DowntheRabbitHole0Unfortunately, I don't know, but I know that such cookies «Wagon Wheels» from UK they are packed in a flow pack, I think, and there are 6 of them, and the flavors are: with jam, and original. But as I understand it, these cookies are from Canada🇨🇦, they are similar to our🇷🇺 Choco Pie, and from UK🇬🇧 They are so flat, well, how is that possible😅.
Someone wants to play some DnD, grab the atlas and lets go.
LOL that was totally the idea back then
Late to comment on this video. Did you see the 3d printed kit for sale that converts this machine to a 1/6 size? Also available for the space invaders. Great review!
I did and sadly that guy replied to me that he's not making those kits anymore "this summer". Maybe in the fall? I hope so cuz I'd love one for my Elevator Action that I got from My Arcade.
@@DowntheRabbitHole0 i figured ypu wouldve beard of that guy. Its odd cuz he recently gave me a link to his site and seems its all avaialble. Maybe he has started up again. By the way i really enjoy your content. The handhelds, nwt and vetrex are amongst my favorite topics. I dont have a vectrex yet but hope to get one before too long. Thanks!
@@pwc9222 Oooo I hope he is doing them again. I only have his email address from Glen's Retro Show coverage, do you have his website? And big thanks for the kind words. I actually have another Vectrex video in the hopper as we speak. :)
i think the arcade version is a little easier 😅
this came out on ps1 w/ better visuals (laserdisc)
if you'd like to gift me the vintage arcade cab w/ timegal +laserdisc/player id greatly appreciate it 😅♥️
LOL no problem jonnie let me drum a set up for you right away
Probably good for cooling down after a hike.
I would definitely say so, dan, very handy to have around.
I don't know how well it would work with super humid summer days (which they all seem to be now). It was 26C today but with like 90% humidity it feels 35C all the time which just sucks.
Yeah admittedly with oppressive humid heat this wouldn't be of much use. But it's working great for me so far.
Must be cool to have fans. :p
I'd swap it, Swifto, for a long sandwich cuz I'd rather have Subs ;)
@@DowntheRabbitHole0 😆😆
I like the format here, this was a fun little anecdote to the past while you drink your ale and hang out with your chainmail on the counter.
Thanks garland .... glad you enjoyed my little story. It was super fun to remember the day.
Cool!
quite literally LOL
I like it. I loved gadgets in my early life but this one I would probably get in my old age now. Excelsior. Ps.....are you getting the pc adaptor for your psvr2 ?
Thanks del, this little gizmo works great. Alas my laptop is way too old and slow for any kind of PCVR so that adaptor would be completely useless for me. Maybe if I get a gaming rig someday but then I'd need to lug it into the room with my headset and honestly, after today's VR Showcase announcements I'm full of gaming for PSVR2 for a long time.
