Gooday Gaming Guests - Ground Hog Day Monday 3/10/2025

Episode Date: March 10, 2025

Today is a PS2 Slim and Atari day.

Good morning everyone. It is now 544. I'm sure like most people I'm still trying to adjust to the The hour that got pushed forward I already have my clock set to the original time. It's just that I went Try to stay up a little bit later So I end up getting up earlier, so it's a little again again it's a little confusing when your body clock is set it's not that big of a deal for me but I'm sure for lots of people out there that extra hour differently messes you up a little bit but we're getting we're getting there so yesterday we had some fun day I always have fun days I always say I say fun a lot, but it's just

Kind of how I'm trying to enjoy the less rest of this life of mine so I worked on computers yesterday First I did my Amiga 500 I upgraded to from the CPU Motorola 68,000 to a sixty eight thousand ten p12 and the original one is 68000 p8. Seemed to get a little teeny boost so that was fun. And I had already upgraded the kickstart which

I learned is the OS, our operating system, to the 2.04 because I have lots of discs and everything for that. So we're just going to kind of leave that one there. So now we're gonna start testing. I got a lot I got a whole crate of discs Software games all kinds of stuff. So we're gonna be I'm gonna put that kind of back together, but not really and then we're just gonna start testing discs and eventually I'll list some stuff That is the goal not not the Amiga itself oh I'll keep that's a keeper I'll keep that I also have a go tech for as well so some point we can put that on there and try that way all right so then I went to I also got in a

upgraded I have a Dell dimension e520 and a Pentium D in it went to buddy Zippy and said well what's the best I can put in there without having to do any silly overclocking or anything all the nonsense like that and it told me I could do an Intel Core 2 at 6700 and that's what I got. So yes I put that in. That was success. I had to make it a little bit more quicker. And then I also had a couple of video cards forever and I didn't know I had one that was a Radeon AMD ATI Radeon. We had an HDMI so I added that to it. But I'm missing a driver. I can't seem to find it. I Tried to download the catalyst that but it doesn't seem to load so That Dell is gonna be set at its original Windows XP and of course, it's just for games and stuff

But it was to learn how to update But I'm in search of one driver I was able to get the audio on the board to from some of the things I downloaded but I haven't been able to get the video yet and that has an HDMI so it'd be fun I'd be able to use HDMI output which also gives me a sound. There's actually a sound board on there too. If I don't need a sound blaster or something separate. So we did that for a long time. Those two projects, that was a couple hours. And then I finished my day with some PS3 fat disk drives going through those are disc drives that are used for the

backwards compatible AB the original ones and then E it has some backwards compatibility and G which has really none so but the disc drives have the drive board on the outside so I'm I sold lots of them Working and now I had some that I was selling as not working So I was just kind of organizing putting them together and then I was doing I tore one down That was all yucked up. We got liquid on or something like milk or something Alright, so let's see what our morning is this morning Anything's are real you U.S. government have admitted. So aliens, why don't they just come out

and hang out with us? What's going on with that whole alien thing? Ooh, Death Stranding 2 release date trailer screenshot. Ooh, that's big for me. Death Stranding 2 is like the epic of games. Sequel adventure screenshots. Oh, can't wait. Like they're in the wilderness too. epic of games sequel adventure Screenshots. Oh can't wait Like doing the wilderness to

Want to release date so it gives me some screenshots the baby is actually out of the Out of the tube thing there Looks pretty wild. I'm very excited Lots of screenshots. I put at least 50 hours into that, maybe more. I don't know if I've completely, completely finished it, but I know I've finished it just about all the story and everything, so. Looks pretty wild.

I'll probably, I'll get that game and that'll be it. You won't hear from me again for a couple months. No, I'll play it though Lots of screenshots though crap I just look for the release date, but I haven't seen it I Think it's this year pretty sure I Of course I always play games like this or any game on the easiest setting I'm an easy setting kind of guy. I just want to play the game. I don't want to

Be make a world record of it In any way and if I guess get stuck somewhere in them or I can't get out of something I just delete the game move on to a different one. I Don't want to be like sometimes they get to some games where you can't beat a boss or you can't do something I'm like there's too many games out there. I'm not gonna keep trying over and over again for the same results All right, let's check the other news so death stranding, but it didn't I get everything except for Release date trailer screenshot. I didn't see release date, but it'll become Oh singing city 2 is coming out, too I was just thinking about sinking city. That was a fun game. I didn't really play that much of it, but it'll become an old singing city 2 is coming out too. I was just thinking about sinking city

I was a fun game. I didn't really play that much of it, but I like it Sinking city I would I would get sinking city 2 Big fan Many PCs build lots of football stuff going on trades and all that to get ready for next year some people getting big contracts which is really silly sinking city 2 let's look at that for a second sinking city 2 trailer let's see let's check out the trailer hold on a second So this is uh, uh looks pretty cool. New evidence.

All kinds of creatures and stuff. That's pretty cool. Oh, so it's kind of like Resident Evil pretty much. This one looks more like a shooter compared to the other. Yeah, this one looks a lot more. Survival Horror Investigate Lovecraft. Support on Kickstarter. Support on Kickstarter. support on kickstarter support on kickstarter

if you want to be a ps5, well definitely so that's the survival horror more cool, so definitely we would this definitely looks different than the other one the other one was more of a walk around and ask questions kind of game the first sink in city, but I do recommend it if you're into that kind of type of game I actually have it and maybe I'll pull it out and stop playing it again. I know I've had it somewhere on one of my systems. I don't have an Xbox at all. I

really don't want to get another Xbox. I wanted to see what the next Xbox Prime is but it's gonna be such such a long way away I was thinking about getting an Xbox I've definitely would get the series X but the white one all digital I may invest in that at some point but I haven't decided when unless they come out with another one I really don't want the black one although that has a disk drive those are the most expensive ones and the series s actually the little one is really cute too I had one of those I got lots of fun games that I bought for just for the for that system but I haven't invested in one since I sold the last one alright so let's go to Etsy I thought maybe I heard something this morning. Oh

Yeah, maybe an order cool an order would be good. Oh speaking about orders. I need to take something down. I just just remembered That would be I Gotta get that down right now before I forget. I sold the laser. I sold the lens assembly for my Panasonic Q So I need it's on here too. I need to get that down. Oh there it is Deactivate that it doesn't automate automatically deactivate it because I selling some things on Etsy that I pulled over from eBay using a program If you, I forget what the program is called, but, but it's a, when I sell something on eBay, it doesn't take it off.

So I just need to take that off. Oh, and these, and these, uh, Apple, I just remember I sold those apples too. So you get that off too. I put a couple big things, so let's see what my order is this morning here. Of course, Etsy is mostly just small stuff. PC1, PS1, the smaller PS1, the white one. Looks like the memory flap is a screw, so it's like I always always say it's all the stuff that's off the top cover Always something that sells other than things inside that work top covers

You know Anything like that is those always sell not always but they sell a lot. Alright, so I got one order there It's a first order and Etsy in a few days Today's what Monday Monday, right? We're on Monday today? Yeah. 310s. Months just cruise along. Alright, so... Let's see what we got going on. My RSS feed this morning.

And today we're going to, oh yeah, I got some Atari action. I wanna do a little bit of Atari, I think, this morning. I'm trying to get my orders done and I settle down. I'll get some Atari. And then I have my Ninja Turtle, a Rise of the Ninja Turtles sewer, epic sewer layer. I gotta tear that back down again, so I may do that.

Today too, I got to tear that back down. Pretty fun, it's actually really cool. Boy, I would have loved to have that when I was a kid. All right, so we had some, a few downloads. Ashburn, thank you, always there for me. Lindale, we see Lindale a lot. Winnipeg, Moscow, and Finland. Helsinki, Finland.

So pretty cool. So we've had some dots and some people around the world. Again, as I always say, it's my message in a bottle over the internet ocean. I love to see it go worldwide. It's pretty awesome for me. I'm just a little guy just Doing my little thing here, and then like I said always go over to my YouTube lots of videos That's my main thing this was added on to my YouTube channel

As just because I could so I said hey, let's add a little podcast action, so that's what I did And I've been doing it for a while. I'm up to 227 podcasts, and I'll always do them every day. Give you a little overview with how my morning is going to start out. Yeah. So you go over to you and you can also check out my eBay and maybe want to buy something or just check out what I, what I'm selling eBay and Etsy. So it's all that fun stuff. It's all related to this podcast Everything is pretty much just my thing just doing this is like a little solo project Which I've been doing for a while

Started out with eBay started out really small now. It's been plugging away It's a little store that could and now my YouTube is now the little little tube that could Pretty much alright speaking of YouTube as we segue into that. Let's see where at I think we were getting too close to I've been promoting but again I I Can only promote like five bucks. Oh So we went past twenty two235 subscribers again that's wonderful I love to see all subscribers I appreciate anybody that comes on a fun find to rebuild my spooky skull got it some that was my next stop-motion a spooky some

tips that you might find useful so someone's gonna give me a critic so I have a critic We'll read about that. It's gonna. Tell me I make too much noise or something But you can only do you so it doesn't matter matter I don't mind people coming in to see what I'm doing But don't don't try to tell me how to do things different because I really can because it's my thing So and that's probably why I only have $23.25 for revenue the average duration is three minutes in 25 seconds, so my

My revenue let's see what my tip is here today some helpful tips some useful tips My important you can chat with cells and ask them to send it in a box. If you buy something imported you can chat with the cell and ask to send it in the box. They're always very polite about this. If you don't use PL boxes, you should publicly avail a video. You want If you don't use PL boxes, you should public avail a video. You might open things up in a box and you should not package... Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. Yeah. Yeah. I share the best I can.

Most times I open from the back. From the back. are always... I share the best I can. Most times I open from the back. Nothing hidden that all see during shipping. Especially overseas should be a no-brainer. Especially overseas should be a no-brainer. Oh, okay. Silver tape, blah blah blah, dark matter, adhesive tape. Blah blah blah blah. So that was a one subscriber. Let's see here.

So if anything, oh, I was going to go one more thing. So let's see what happened. So yeah, so I had my fun find was my rebuild. I had a lot of views for that, 1.1 views on my... I'm trying to keep up with new subscribers. Again, it says I got a whole bunch more from yesterday, yet most of them are hidden, so I never really see them. It's really weird. So right now I'm clicking on subscribe to anyone.

There's no way to auto subscribe, I wish there was. Whereas once you subscribe to me, I'll automatically hit you back. But it doesn't let me do that. Therefore I can't see all the subscribers that are hidden. So therefore I can't auto subscribe back to them. Which is kind of a bummer. Makes no... If there was a way to auto

subscribe where even if I was hidden it would automatically subscribe back if you subscribe to me that'd be great I would like that but it doesn't let me do that I don't know why I don't know why people have their things hidden they're afraid to be shown in you looking Looking at your stuff, I guess? It's really weird. I mean, I guess I understand it, but it's just funny. So something must have gotten... Oh no, I didn't promote that one. If I don't promote something, I only get about 20 views. That one I didn't promote. I could only do so much.

This is my voice here. Yeah, so 2000, I mean 22,236 subscribers. So I kicked over to the 22,000 yesterday. Or overnight I should say. So we're just plugging along, doing my thing. Not really gonna change what I do. Just, it's fun. Alright, so let's go onto eBay today. Let's see what we got.

Got some orders. I got my six discs yesterday. Disc drives. And then let's see if we got some fun things coming. I'm waiting for some cool stuff. Feedback, nice as described as pictured. Let's see what's that is. I have one feedback. I see a few orders that's exciting. Oh the Dremel as described as a picture well packed. Cool so my Dremel I sent it all the way to California. I bought them on eBay and never used them and then we sold them basically

All right, so I have three orders. Let's check the orders out and then I have three messages See what my orders are this morning. I have oh a Texas Instrument TI slash for exact Keyboard I sold pretty much all the keyboards of those. That's the SEGIN keyboard style. I sold a PSP of the screen. Sony 101PSP. Sony PSP-101 I should say. The motherboard shield plate. Oh, and I sold another keyboard too. I sold two different keyboards. Two different buyers. Alps is missing a key. So I think

by Texas Instruments I sold lots of motherboards. A few motherboards but mostly all the keyboards. My Commodore 64 I sold all motherboards and keyboards are for those so those are all good good sales there let's see what we have for so breaking down computer parts is worked out for me as well i've kinda stop doing more gaming stuff i'm not stop but i'm not buying more gaming stuff

i am uh... stuff, well not stop but I'm not buying any more gaming stuff. I am trying to list more computer stuff. Yeah, trying to. Little by little. Yeah, that's fine, I'll take that. And I just had one offer for a disk drive from, it's the defective donor original Xbox 01 through 05 the dreaded Thompson TGM 600 disk drive. I have a lot of those listed just for parts and of course like I said yesterday I have six drives I sold for the PS3 fat so broken so things can sell broken just as well as they can sell working.

Obviously, for less, but people use them, and I put them as defective donor. The buyer wants to cancel an order, so I have something cancelling here. So I have cancellation. Yeah, so I do it as defective donor. Telling the buyer in bold that defective doesn't work. And donor, meaning you may not be able to fix it, and you only be able to use it to take parts off. Oops, I don't want to climb. I'm gonna accept it.

Alright, so somebody wanted a refund. So we'll refund them. Alright. a refund so we'll refund them So somebody ordered something and then bought the wrong one cool So and that doesn't doesn't show up in my orders because it was Initiated as canceled so somebody ordered it overnight Realized oh crap. It's the wrong one and then started to try to cancel it but I have to accept it on my end which I just did. I would never not cancel something if someone doesn't want it unless I already shipped it. So if you ordered something last

night and then midday today you're like hey I want to cancel this. I'm like I can't be out there buddy it's already shipped. And I'm always like please don't return it on me. I rushed to get things out for you If you don't need it Just just resell it So And most times they don't return it once a lot most times sometimes they do sometimes they don't But I'm pretty honest about things So please don't do that

Because it's a lot of time effort and and shipping costs that goes into getting Even the smallest orders out and most of the time if I have an order that's again my my minimum is 13 So the smallest order goes out. It's costing me $8 to get it out. So if you return on me, that's again my minimum is 13 so the smallest order goes out it's costing me $8 to get it out so if you return it on me that's a bummer. Alright so that's it for this morning it looks like. Where were we at? Oh well over 20 minutes. Alright so I got a couple orders here and there.

YouTube is plugging away. We'll do some Atari today I think I'm gonna do Atari and I'm gonna double back to my Amiga 500 but I'm not gonna do that today try to mix it up so I'm not doing the same thing more than one in the next few days so we'll see what else we're gonna do oh you know what I had to do is PS2 Fats I mean slims rather yeah let's get let's get on that that bandwagon I got a bunch of those there I sold most of the motherboards for the 9000 model I got to double back to the original models and do some of those all right so you guys have a good day and I will talk to you tomorrow all right bye
