It is run independently of Sonic Retro, though it receives promotional support from the folks at Sonic Retro and the current SSRG. (Hence my confusion.) The SHC was first held back in 2002, and was created by Nayr T'nargh, a SSRG staff member. (Whether or not the event was hosted on SSRG or elsewhere is unclear.) As of 2010, the competition is managed by Spanner while the SHC website (https://shc.zone/) is run by Cinossu.- - - - - - - - - - - - - -Video Fixes from last time:Per request, I made sure the audio quality was better this time around compared to the video for the 2021 talk. Most significant complaint was there was too much "echo". Turned out my Sony handicam video camera, which has great audio pick-up for when someone in the audience is talking, was also the source of the excess echo. That audio channel was only used when necessary.Also, my main camera went haywire once again. Though the zoom was set correctly, it went out of focus after about 15 minutes as the projected image was being adjusted. (The image also came-out darker than I wanted because the bright screen confused the auto contrast mechanism in the camera.) Thankfully, I had a second camera focused on me for the entire talk. However, its footage was recorded video at a lower 720p30 resolution and had to be cropped, which lead to blocky video. Not wanting a repeat of the "blocky" main camera angle footage like last time, I painstakingly enhanced the video clips from that camera angle with Topaz Video Enhancer AI, leading to a picture quality that I am happy with.- - - - - - - - - - - - - -Bonus Content:Don't Touch My Car (demo) - Damian Grovesoundcloud.app.goo.gl/JwGZc- - - - - - - - - - - - - -#retroworldexpo #retroworldexpo2022 #sonic #sonicthehedgehog #SSRG #hacking #modding #romhacking #gaming #history #90s #1990s #wolan #andywolan
Video Game Castle auction in Chicopee Massachusetts (3/07/2023) andywolan 2023-03-07 | Live Auction of the once beloved Video Game Castle in Chicopee Massachusetts.The property was seized for back taxes of around $31,000. Auction was for the entire contents of the store, not the building itself. The store's contents are divided into 106 lots. The auctioneer first tries to auction everything in one giant lot. Regardless of whether he is successful or not, the auctioneer then auctions off each lot. (IE piece meal) Whichever if greater, the combined value of the individual lots auctions or the combine lot, becomes final.The winning bid for the full lot was $77,000. (Does not include 15% auctioneer fee or MA sales tax.) I did not stick around for the piece meal lot auctions because I highly doubt those lots would sell for a combined value of $77,000 or more. Personally, I valued the goods at $35,000 to $40,000 max, so it sold for double my estimate. My understanding is that the store owners will receive the proceeds from the auction ($77k - back taxes) or around $46,000.Whoever bought the lots will be paying around $90k plus taxes. (No tax if they have a reseller certificate.) I personally don’t think they will see that money back unless (a) there are some hidden gems that go for thousands or (b) they are looking to open a store at that location, in which case it's a steal to grab a store with such a strong regional brand name.Link to store on MassLive:masslive.com/business/2023/02/video-game-castle-in-chicopee-must-auction-everything-after-tax-seizure.htmlNote:I have privately taken photos of the lots if anyone is curious. (I have few photos taken of the two basement room lots because their was too much stuff to photograph.)

WTNH (Channel 8) 50th Anniversary Special andywolan 2021-08-10 | Remember When: 50 years of News, a 50th Anniversary Special for WTNH - Channel 8, serving Hartford and New Connecticut.

Was recorded during the brief period of time when the New England Patriots were supposed to move to Hartford, CT.Captured on VHS tape off of cable TV during original airing.NOTE: I kept the ads in place because some folks want to see them for nostalgia reasons.

Back when the New England Patriots were moving to Hartford (1998) andywolan 2021-08-09 | Back in 1998, the New England Patriots signed a deal to move from Foxboro to Hartford, CT.

Bells of Noel (Carolites) Repair Tips / Bulb Replacement andywolan 2021-05-18 | A quick and dirty video about replacing the bulbs for the "Bells of Noel" musical lighted 3-bell cluster by Carolite. (Calfax). So you are trying to replace a bulb in this unit, but after opening up a bell you find out that Carolite, in an attempt to force you to buy their replacement bulbs, purposely left off the electrical property markers on the bulbs, leaving them unmarked. How nice of them ... Well, I think I figured it out and I believe the correct replacement bulb is as follows: E10, 3.8V 0.2A. (NOT 0.3A) I came to this value by measuring the voltage and current the unit was driving on the lamp socket. I could be wrong, so take my recommendation for what it's worth.Also, removing the screws can difficult. If you can't remove them with a Phillips-head screwdriver, then use a pair of pliers and twist them from the drive. The heads of the screws are large enough to be gripped. Be sure to put some shipping tape over the unit for you don't accidentally scratch it in case your pliers slip. You could also try exposing the unit to hot air (like from a space heater) to soften the plastic, though I'd only do this as a last resort. BTW, does anyone know what kind of screw to buy to replace the ones that came with the kit? (Also, I think the screws are supposed to look rusty on top, but I am not sure. )Anyhow, if I am wrong with anything here, let me know in the comments below.Need more help? Message me directly.Like this video? Let me know. I might make a video on how to repair the Caroline 9 Musical Bell unit. You think this 3-bell unit was difficult, well you haven't seen anything yet!

(17min ONLY) May 15 2018 CT tornado on WWLP andywolan 2018-05-17 | Live coverage on WWLP (channel 22) of the tornadoes and macroburst that touched down in Connecticut on 05-15-2018,. This is video is a recording from 4:01pm to 4:18pm, and covers the 1.75" hail that fell near Southwick. The recording ends because of storm interference. WWLP only had live coverage to around 4:30 PM because by that time it was clear all the action was literally confined south of MA/CT state line. They then switched to "Judge Judy".NOTES: 1) Video is only 17 minutes long because my TV recording application crashed due to all of the interference on the channel.2) Towards the end of the video, there is heavy glitching of the video stream. That was due to inference caused by the storm itself. In fact, WWLP was knocked of the air for a short time due to inference. Fun facts: WWLP transmits on channel 11, which is a VHF frequency. VHF frequencies have greater range that UHF frequencies (channels 17-51), but are susceptible to interference from lightning. But on this day, the interference was unusually bad. Perhaps the storm clouds themselves, which were to the south of me, reflected the TV signal in such a way that it made the signal even worse?

TMNT Arcade Oddity in Scene 4 andywolan 2018-02-16 | During Level 4 (scene 4) of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, the original arcade game, I manage to pull-off a weird oddity. Specifically, my character was able to stand on top of the "One Way" sign after getting hit. As you can see, the foot solders don't know what to do and try attaching underneath. I was able ot jump up and land back on the side. (I did not record that.)I've played this level dozens of time and I've never had this happen to me. Nor way I able to land on the sign intentionally. (Even if I walked off to the left and tried to jump back up on the sign, I could not.)I am wondering if over people were able to pull this off?
