I appreciate the amount of work you put into your MGC presentations. "Not satisfied with the current design, I can make it better" - Every Engineer Ever.
I really thought Louis Rossman was speaking, but then I heard PPBUS 3 times with no "V3" at the end and the magic was dispelled. But briefly reinstated with "NYC real estate". I have no idea how much lands around me cost (Europe) but well-versed in the intricacies of the NYC and Madison rental prices.
Your impression of Lewis Rossman never fails to disappoint. I love my tech but I’m not exactly engineering minded. I can understand a basic circuit board, learned a lot from RUclips. To be honest, I watch your videos for the rambling mostly. Keep em coming, and I’ll keep coming back!
the meanings have informally become synonymous, but the technical difference is that sprockets mesh with chains, and cogwheels mesh with other cogs or with gears. the cog itself is a tooth of a cogwheel that is inserted into a wheel as opposed to a gear which has cut teeth.
Some men fear that they have become nothing other than cogs in the machinery of modern society. For my part, I prefer to think of myself as a sprocket.
So all our devices spy on us as you know. Not sure if it was my Android phone or the Alexa, but later that night (after filming) I got a RUclips ad about sprockets for bikes.
In the Atari ST port of Moon Patrol, there's two difficulty levels, "Beginner's Course" and "Advanced Course", each with a full A-Z run of checkpoints. After completing Advanced Course, you move on to Advanced Course 2, which is... the exact same thing, but with a "2" in the name. After that is Advanced Course 3... no different. 8-year-old me's crowning life achievement was reaching Advanced Course 24 without using any Continues. At that point, however, grandma noticed I hadn't shown up for lunch or dinner time, and sent my cousins upstairs to collect me, by brute force if necessary (it was).
For what it's worth Ben there is a very solderable "6 pin USB-C" that has through hole shield posts obviously it only really functions as USB 2 but I love the things. Not sure who makes them but they can easily be found on AliExpress in small quantities for pretty cheap.
An easier way to do those caps or any smc is put the flux down first then lay the component flat and just touch it with the iron (with solder on the tip). Then just do the other side. Same with that charger controller. But I guess everyone has their technique.
The Jetsons springy alien pet was named Orbitty. He only appears in the episodes produced in 1985, when they were padding out the show for syndication to run alongside the 1962 episodes.
Nerd Far Side: ...Ben remembered too late he didn't have a new toothbrush, then fluxed his teeth. Turd Far Side: ...Jenny's teeth wished she hadn't used her old toothbrush to clean the U-bend. They would be better with accompanying cartoons, maybe.
Good job on the game, Ben. It looks and seem to also play great! I think it was I who suggested it, either here or on the twitters. Super fun to see it implemented. It would (will, hopefully) be cool to see people make cases for that badge. You know what would also be cool, but for a future version of that? If they could communicate with one another over a short distance (kind of like one of the handheld Nintendo consoles, I think the 3DS did that), and you could make a game based on that characteristic. Something that would use the screen just for notifications/warning messages, so maybe something like a spy game, that you could steal "plans" stealthily from other players (I'm thinking of the plans from Impossible Mission, something graphical, like a puzzle piece).
I just get this Shady Tree Mechanics vibe when I watch or even just listen to you assemble something...wish it waz that AFM backboard but still it's great XD
Gotta love your Louis impression. He's a great guy and I can personally attest to him being the reason I will carry the knowledge of PPBus_G3Hot in my brain forever. Also, not to just heap praise on other youtubers, I'm happy that over the years following your content I've gotten a lot more comfortable around electronics. Used to be I was too afraid to even try soldering SMCs by hand, now I'm no longer afraid and can confidently... screw them up. Eh, you win some, you lose some, right? Here's to a bright future with more interesting videos and less mistakes on my part, I learn something new every time. And that singing, oh, simply the best. (insert your best Tina Turner impression here)
Everytime Ben says 'Tombstone' I think of the Ben Heck Podcast where Ben and Jones talked about Tombstone the movie, then Tombstone pizza, then the pizza cooker that cooked ONE slice of pizza at a time..... classic. I wish this was a kit, but I assume that wouldn't make any money...and would be something like a nightmare logistically.
"A lot of people would say the moon and the Earth are much closer to a binary planetary system" Some would say that the Earth is *our* moon. But that would belittle the name of our moon, which is: The Moon
Technically cogs are the teeth, cogwheels that mesh together are gears, cogwheels that mesh with a chain or cog belt (timing belt) are sprockets. Didn't know this myself till I researched it after reading your comment, it's actually more interesting than I thought it would be, probably some history there to explore (too tired rn tho).
Ben, my retro friend, I'm sourcing parts for the game badge board I picked up last weekend at VCFMW and nearly fell for the trap! Your parts list calls for an ST LF50CDT, a $2, 5.0V regulator but the video shows an Onsemi NCP5501, a $1, 3.3V regulator.
God, I did 3 or 4 years of Computer Engineering and Electronics at college, back in 1995 to 1999. Which was hardcore programming in C++ and, er... something else! Some other language that I can't even remember the name of now! The course also took in the architecture of computers so you would know what your programming commands were doing/affecting. Lots of maths, quadratic equations, hexadecimal and binary fuckery involved! 😊 I did it so that I would be able to make computer games in future! Well, to be honest, I think it's generally something that you need to understand and 'click' with as a young child, preferably as a 7yr old and up! Cos even though I qualified the course, I seriously still had no bloody idea how to go about making a frigging computer game! *Sigh!* 😞 I should also mention that at that particular moment in time (mid 90s to early 2000s), computing took a quantum leap forward as to how things were done! Memory became cheap, modems... changed! And became cheap too. Basically everything I'd learnt seemed to become virtually irrelevant overnight!
That's really cool. I was giving kits away at the local maker fest with a nano, 400 pin breadboard, i2c OLED, joystick module and some wires. The focus for my stuff is the game programming so the kit goes together without soldering very easily. I'm curious as to how much of the improvement in the framerate is from using SPI instead of i2c and how much is from just being better at coding. I used I2C with my kit just because it was fewer wires and originally used a wii nunchuck which is also i2c.

Hey, Ben, you could also have a "bragging mode" where people display their high score on Moon Force instead of the clock!
Clearly not Louis - not enough flux!
Your impressions ar always spot on.
I still have one I got from VGF a few weeks ago, im going to start building it!
I love the RUclipsr impressions. Maybe we should nominate who Ben does an impression of next (I vote for RLM to keep it in Wisconsin.)

Two copyright strikes for Louis Rossman and EEVBlog impersonations No way the google will mistake his singing for the real thing
I enjoy your channel and the neat things you do on it.
I'm glad the game shows the word BOSS with and arrow pointing to it. I might've been confused otherwise.
Haha hey it's for the boss's health bar!
"Cog" is the tooth on a wheel.
A "sprocket" is a cogged wheel that interfaces with another cogged wheel via a chain.
You should make these available to purchase for those of us that can't make it to the con! I'd love to test my soldering skills!
I don’t think I heard any Dave Jones impersonations in this one but I really dig the acapella versions of 8 bit game soundtracks
Aaah some relaxin soldering. A nice dinner and then unwind and watch someone solder.
I'd love to attend, but alas I'm far far away. If you find yourself coming to Texas for Retropalooza or LPGE I've got dibs on at least 2 seats.
Impressed with the game (and device) and thankful for the Bud footage at the end!

Great video Ben. My day in day out job is soldering stuff onto boards. I hold the international IPC certification.
We must preserve Ben's brain after he passes away, it's an important databases of pop-culture references.
It's pre-preserved thanks to all the Spotted Cow :)

Buy a board it has his toothbrush DNA . Clone
Awesome; if only I had the time to go to MGC

It looks like GameBoy. In my childhood, I really enjoy to play it. The Pokermon is my favourite game in my life.
I want to buy Moon Force, that game looks sick!
It's the Dark Souls of Moon games.
Is there a way to get one if I don't go to the MGC?
Where can I acquire the kit outside of the convention?

How did you get transparency and a black outline on the sprites with 1-bit graphics?
An inverse isolation mask (black parts of sprite) ANDd with screen memory, then sprite white pixels ORd with that result.
@@BenHeckHacks It's better to XOR instead of OR because then the sprite can also invert background pixels.
