ACCardShark - youtube channel
Please check out this video - pay close attention to the fantastic review of Retrouprising during the last 5 mins.
[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZX5iH0EG9Ts"]Recent Pickups and RetroUprising.com[/ame]
For those that don't know ACCardShark is also known on here as member JoshDonow . Thanks to his kind words many of ACCardShark's subscribers have already made the journey across - we'd like to welcome you all and hope you enjoy it here.
We'd like to return the compliment and give ACCardShark's youtube channel a big plug.
If you like your games (retro and modern) then you'll love ACCardShark's videos. It's one man's journey via the local flea markets and ebay to unearth some classic games both good and bad! He basically gives a little talk and review of each game he purchases and then adds it to his vast games collection.
If you prefer coin ops - then there are tours of arcades that are still operating. There's also a fantastic 2 part video of ACCardShark's trip to "The Kong-Off" - The Donkey Kong Competition held at Richie Knucklez Arcade earlier this year.
Check it out the channel here - ACCardShark's Channel - YouTube
You can't argue with over 1350 subscribers!! We hope you enjoy it too  . Take down one of JoshDonow 's highscores on here and you may even get a mention on his next video!
Thanks again to ACCardShark and fellow member Agnostic79 for getting him on board.

Well, I already beat his score in the Mega Man 1 hack, though it didn't look like a hack to me. Nothing was changed.

Re: ACCardShark - youtube channel
He mentions RU at around the 11:00 mark
When he mentions "his normal guy, Steve", is he talking about Agnostic?

Re: ACCardShark - youtube channel
Probably. It's probably just a coincidence his name is Steve like Agnostic's is

Re: ACCardShark - youtube channel
I didn't even realize people from RU were listening to the podcast ... We've taken a vacation from it, and are contemplating even coming back to it ... Is anyone out there still interested in listening?

Re: ACCardShark - youtube channel
It's funny that you were in red bank, it's literally 30 minutes from my house. been to yestercades, it a really nice arcade, but I prefer more modern arcades like 8 on the Break in Dunellan in NJ. Decided against going to video games live because I enjoy kind of obscure orchestrated music from gaming and I didn't think they covered them.
