Dear Ms Soogah,

Thank you for your email. I would be truly delighted for you to publish my feces. Obviously sending a fresh stool is never an easy task. Previously I have met with “publishers” in a discrete venue of their choice. From there you may help yourself to my clay pit.

Please let me know when you have made arrangements.

Regards,

O.Cross

I just don’t understand how crap like gab360 dot com & easyloans24 dot com get higher on the featured list than my domain.

After getting Street Fighter 2 HD off Xbox Live Arcade I knew I was lacking an edge, that edge was an arcade stick. A few years back I bought a Hori stick from Japan and it was fantastic quality. This time I wanted something unique. A few Google searches and forums posts later I came across a site called www.ArcadeinaBox.com. AIAB source the best parts from Japan and hand make a stick for you.

You can choose the type of buttons, colour, design, stick, layout you name it. They source the best parts such as Sanwa and Seimitsu. I chose to go for a slim arcade and all Sanwa layouts.

10 out of 10 for Performance. The quality of the components improved my game straight from the get go. The only difference I would have liked was to purchase an octo gate instead.

9 out of 10 Build Quality. The quality was almost perfect; I noticed a small gap between the closing of the box but nothing worth crying about.

Features 10 out of 10. One stick from AIAB can support Xbox 360, PS3 and PC. What more can you ask for.

8 out of 10 Ease of Use. I chose to go for an extra length cable which was perfect for playing at distance. The only reason I gave it an 8 was due to a poor microphone connection, but overall it didn’t make me want to send the stick back and especially since I waited almost 7 weeks for it.

Value 9 out of 10. I’ve read a lot of complaints about the pricing of the stick. My custom stick set me back $280 and I know this isn’t the average purchase. If your a hardcore gamer and you want the best, you buy the best.

Overall:

9.5 out of 10. AIAB isn’t in the market of mass production. They take their time to build the best they can make. I couldn’t recommend a joystick any more highly.

I’m sad to see due to the mass requests for arcade sticks in general; AIAB is now only shipping to North America. I hoping this will change in the future because I would have no qualms buying another.

Here are some images:

Stick 2
Stick 3

I know it’s been a while since I posted and I’ve been very busy, ok that’s a lie I just couldn’t be bothered to post anything interesting. I’m really looking forward to playing the new DLC for GTA called the Lost and The Dammed and I see loads of people are having problems loading the game.

To be honest this happens for a number of XBL arcade games especially if you’ve changed console but kept the hard drive. Anyway I don’t want to get in to that now but if you want to play the Lost and the Dammed just make sure you are connected to XBL when you start the GTA disc and you will be prompted to play the new DLC.

Have fun,

Oz

The real stupid thing is when I was checking my friends Face Book details thinking I was being smart, poor guy.

Hello,

I think it’s about time I was straight with you all. I’ve been going to these events for a good ten years now and I got to say I’m disappointed. Why am I disappointed? I’ll tell you, some little bugger in this group keeps taking a shit in the confession booths and who has to clean it up. Guess who, me!

Oliver

P.S I need help to pay the money back to the donations box that I spent on smack and hoes last Friday night.

Hi David,

I’ve been shooting coke all morning. That reminds me, remember last year when we travelled to Rome and I dared you a monkey to take a dump in the pope’s mitre. They were the days.

Oliver

P.S. This religious stuff is right laugh isn’t it, I wonder how long we can take it for. I mean we’ve had a good run, a few thousand years or so.

Dear David,

As a brother thou not need require any physical aid to recite the great book:

Genesis 25:30 (Holman Christian Standard Bible)
He said to Jacob, “Let me eat some of that red stuff, because I’m exhausted.”

Darth Vader: Death Star Conference Room ( Star Wars 1977)
“I find your lack of faith disturbing”

Also I can’t meet up for a drink this week as I have a squash match on Wednesday with Al Sharpton.

Regards,

Oliver
