It's time to talk about the best 4th gen console ever made: the Neo Geo AES. BIG TYMERS ONLY. If you're a coping poorfaggot, then don't even bother... this thread isn't for you.
I still really want to know what was going on with the oxygen tube kid. Do we know who he was? He's gotta be dead now, right?
>>12077167I've always strongly suspected that oxygen kid is longtime NGC user "Makismo" showing up to the booth to hang out with the BigTymers.
>>12077161What is even happening in this picture
>>12077281He's shredding an official insert. One of the Ambiguously Gay Duo's favorite things to do was shredding real inserts and replacing them with "Freaked" inserts (i.e. a new insert with their "Neo Geo Freaks" branding plastered on it.)
>>12077274I'm curious why you think that
Just for some clarity, they'd also slap these on the sides of the actual cart. It's also really worth noting that they'd put similar "warranty" stickers straight on the back page of the manual as well.
Is there any legitimate hardware manufacturing reason that modern homebrew AES games cost 300+usd, or is it entirely because of the mindset of "well the original games were expensive too"?
And, of course, after the original insert got shredded, your cart would be sold to you with a shitty quality insert with their branding on it.
>>12077306I'm curious as to why you don't, especially if you were part of the scene at the time and know the people involved.
>>12077342https://www.neo-geo.com/forums/index.php?threads/how-many-people-still-remember-makismo.172858/#post-2534541Makismo was some chinese guy
>>12077349Makismo is a pasty white wanna gym rat player from fucking Texas, you absolute tool.LOL
>>12077362You seem to know a lot about him but you haven't provided one shred of evidence for why you think he's the tube kid in the OP. I'm starting to think you're a small tymer. A baby tymer, even.
>>12077367At least I actually knew the motherfucker. You seem to think he was Chinese. Having met Mak, post glowup, he bears a fairly uncanny resemblance to the BigTymer with the oxygen tank. Could I prove it in a court of law? No, but I'd certainly hire Bobak as my lawyer if I was gonna try. Just for the keks.
>>12077374>I knew the guy, I met him in real life>I suspect the guy I see in the pic was him, heh...So he outgrew his terminal illness and changed his physical appearance enough to confuse you?
>>12077381>i don't know who the kid in that picture is but i know he had a terminal illnessAlright, brah.
>>12077383>he just had to walk around with an oxygen tank in a backpack with tubes in his nose bro, he's goodWell, alright.
>>12077404>he's chineseThank you for this one, btw. My fucking sides. Mak has written himself into scene history with his antics so well that other people just inadvertently add to his mythos. A true BigTymer if there ever was one. Yesterday he was a scrawny little white kid making threads about how to get girls (legendary reading, btw). Then he became gym rat with an overbearing personality telling anyone who would listen about how he "came up from nothing" and you can, too. Now he's fucking Chinese. Eventually he'll be Jackie Chan's twin brother. A year or two after that we'll find out that he was the secret owner of the Lost Odyssey proto all along, and Dion had to give him the blue Porsche just to stay in the company.This scene really is the stuff of legends.
Now he's scouring the post your pic thread looking for Mak pics. That's hilarious.
>>12077430>This scene really is the stuff of legends.I agree, I just wish I knew who the oxygen tube kid was.
>>12077469Obviously a real BigTymer, unlike the rest of us mere mortals. No limo rides and trips to the Rolex shop for me.
>>12077472He's on the limo ride to the big Rolex shop in the sky, 'far as I sees it.
>>12077498Maybe, who knows? You can be as obsessed about being right about that all you want, terminal illness and all. If he is gone, he likely went better than his friend did. Pic related is the murder in question.
>>12077528Yeah, that guy is done. Glad big dick Joe didn't go out that way.
Reggie's latina qt > Chad's bitch > Dion's cheater whore
>>12077539joe8?
>>12077541Left and right are good.Middle is a hard no.
I dont what or who any of these queers are, but if I'm understanding correctly, these guys resold neogeo games, defaced them, and added their own branding material to them?what a bunch of fags
you people are fucking weird
>>12077784Basically a group of dudebros managed to fool an entire fanbase and destroy their expensive as fuck Neo Geo inserts replacing them with cheap bootleg ones AND charging them extra for that as well.
it doesn't feel like much has changed. gamers still go bananas over exclusivity even when it isn't officially promoted by the manufacturer. the whole thing with paprium reminded me of this stuff.
