bit_user I don't usually go for stuff like this, but it might be kinda neat. I wouldn't play the gachapon, machines though. I'd rather pay a bit more and select the parts, like I do for real PCs. On a loosely-related note, I'm still a bit sore that Lian Li never entered the case market for Raspberry Pi. I wanted to get a black, aluminum tower case for it, to match my other black, aluminum Lian Li cases. Reply

NeK5ZjtpO-M View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NeK5ZjtpO-M I'm not sure whatever really happened to him, but I assume he was a victim of his own success. Probably the novelty of this pitches wore off and then maybe there wasn't much more work to be found. Going onto a further tangent about 80's culture, I re-watched Ghostbusters 2 , not long ago. I really liked how that movie started out, in the way that it implicitly acknowledged the "15 minutes of fame" phenomenon that had become somewhat entrenched, by that point. Reply
Syntaximus You nailed it, he burned out as a type-cast, but his impact never left the industry. Reply
