I also inquired with Bernie before the raffle and he got rid/what was left of his duo quite awhile ago so happy to see him getting a second chance.

Lost monkey... Thanks for the kind words, I was very happy with the list of entrants.
All of you I would have been happy to see it go to.

Congrats, Bernie.
I think you deserve it :)

When it arrives to Bernie someone needs to be ready to recap it and get it going for him, and also, lather it over with some kind of heat resistant paste.  :)

I'm a notorious strange man.

Awesome Bernie, you the man. System went to one of the best guys on the forum! You helped me out quite a bit with getting my collection going, so always appreciated that Man! See Bernie, Turbob the Patron Saint of Obey is smiling on you.

More Turbo Karma for you too Sparky. It's raffles like this that reminds me how awesome the Turbo community really is. Watch out for Nulls Sixpack Raffle though...LOL
END OF LINE.

I trust there was a no hair dryer clause?

Congratulations Bernie! And thanks to Sparky for letting me participate in this.

Bernie

lmao, I love this place.  I never expected to win this bad boy.  :)  Thanks so much Sparks, and you guys here make me laugh.  lmao..  I promise no hair dryers, as the only one taking this apart will be turbokon.  :)

NightWolve

Make him throw in a YPbPr/Component output mod while he's at it! :)

I'm glad to see this went to a very deserving member.  Bernie was the first to reach out and help me with some questions when I first joined this forum. 

As much as I love Bernie I must suggest:

"You CAN'T prove Nulltard/DoxPhile caused ANY harm/damage/sabotage to PCEFX!! You have NO evidence he poached ANY members for his own failed PC Engine forum/site or was a conniving destructive saboteur! ZERO, ZIP, NADA!!! Nulltard did nothing wrong!"

Congrats Bernie and many thanks to Sparky for raffling this off.

Nice to see Mr. Berns won.  It couldn't have gone to a nicer guy.  :mrgreen:

Thanks Sparky for the wicked raffle. I still need to spin up and get a label set, and some reprint manuals from you sometime soon.  Glad to see it go to Bernie.  Both of you were two of the main guys to be so welcoming when I got back into Obey gaming and collecting again about 2 years back.

Congrats Bernie!  I am tempted to search for "hair dryer" on the forum now...

And karma to Sparky for the super generous raffle man, I hope when you die you are surrounded by 99 Princess Za's to do your every bidding (if you're into that weird dinosaur stuff I guess)

If you notice, under my avatar, the little signature.  I put that into place when I melted the Duo...

Well, they were in my DropBox, but I have since deleted them.  Looking back, I should have kept them.  I believe someone here has them still tho.  I seem to remember it made the MONTH's news in someone's Turbo news page.  I cannot remember who used to do that.

I want to be more like 337.

You know, if it makes you feel any better: when the Sega Saturn was new, my buddy got a white import Saturn, and he lorded it over us - having only our lowly black US Saturns.  The Japanese Saturns were pretty sweet looking, I have to admit.  Anyhow, I threw a mod chip in mine, easiest 2 wire mod in the world.  My friend decided to do the same... but he wasn't exactly a wiz with electronics.  He thought he needed to have the system powered on while doing the mod... and so he did, and fried his poor Saturn good.  He was pretty upset about, ended up having to get a replacement US Saturn, the poor bastard.

Another one:  With my Duo, I took pretty great care of it since the day I got it.  Worship the damn thing, you know?  One day, however, I stupidly move it by picking it up where the hucard slot cover is, and I push my thumb down into it, breaking off one of the hinges..  I was mortified.  I tried to use some crazy glue to get it back in place, made a mess.  There was glue and shit everywhere, and it looked awful.  I think I used some goo-gone or similar to try to remove it and clean it up.  This was before I realized how that stuff reacts to plastic, and I made even worse.  Just carved right into it, melting the plastic.  It looked so terrible all I could do was throw it away.  Luckily, someone here hooked me up with a replacement to which I'm eternally grateful.  And now, we have 3D printed ones, which I should grab a backup replacement of.

Anyway, glad you were able to replace the Duo you melted!  Take good care of her!

So many new users lately, yet so few posts.

I really do wonder why this forum is dead half the time.

Normally I despise "Best of 2015" bullshite that we are bombarded with at this point in the year...

But, I agree, garrethohman is certainly a contender for BEST POST with his gem.
