Thanks bro! I'm glad you feel like that watching my vids. Can't wait to start going live. Interacting with my subs other than the comment section. Talked about doing it for a while. Time to make it a reality.

People who like RPGs definitely need to play Baldur's Gate 3. I'm about 20 hours in and it is one of the best games I've played let alone one of the best RPGs. Love the video.

Just wanted to give you a shout out. Your videos are awesome and you are one of the reasons that I have an Extreme Home Arcade Pedestal being shipped out to me today! I sent David an email letting him know.

There are few games on that c drive that I would like to give it a go.Talking about “Steam” games I recently finished (42 hours) “Born of bread”(An action/adventure with rpg elements with some “Paper Mario”similarities)Right now I’m enjoying “Jusant”(an mountain climbing game that looks beautiful for an indie game)I can recommend both.Have a nice day Bro 😉

[@dthomasfromnc]

I'm have to try those games out. I'm also playing Jusant courtesy of gamepass. It's a real relaxing game. I'm stuck at this one part now I can't seem to get progress, but I'm sure I'll doggie it out sooner or later. You have a nice day and great weekend.

[@LyricCitizen]

Your video was great, I have a couple of questions for you. In your megacade vs retrocade video how does the sharkade compare? Also how does the ultimate pedestal compare with the others? Additionally which machine would you say in your collection is the best? Lastly, are you technically not just buying the same machine over and over with the megacade and the others or is it the slight differences are what make them unique? Thank you in advance

[@dthomasfromnc]

How does the Sharkade compare vs. Megacade and Retrocade: The Sharkade has its own unique appeal with its design, hyperspin front-end setup, & the fact that it's the most portable out of the bunch. With custom dust covers, in addition to having a mini standard QWERTY keyboard and Wii kit, it sets itself apart. It’s built with quality and versatility in mind, offering a different and more portable experience than the Megacade and Retro-cade from a hardware (small compact) & software (the way the game categories are alphabetized+larger PS3 selection). Not too mention it's packing a lot under the hood. As for the Ultimate Pedestal, it stands out because of its less than bigger size if it's big brother Megacade & the ability to connect whatever size tv (40-80 inches or a projector). Having upgraded hardware and refined software makes it a great choice for gamers seeking the arcade thrill without the bulkiness of the whole look of an arcade cabinet. It’s a strong contender depending on your space and setup needs. Best Machine in My Collection: It’s tough to pick just one, but I’d say each machine has its special place. The best one really depends on what you're looking for - whether it's game variety, nostalgia, or advanced features. The Retro-Cade has one of the best (if not the best) kickplate and accessories drawer in the arcade space. I've never seen anything like it before and nothing around like it now. The upgraded speakers & subwoofers, servo 4-way/8-way player one joystick, acrylic finish, and attention to detail in the build & design along with the stream deck makes this unit a front runner. From a whole arcade footprint perspective, it's at the top in terms of the 4-player home arcade. As for the differences between machines: While these arcades may seem similar on the surface, the differences in game libraries, design, and customization options make each one unique in its own way. These variations cater to different people with different preferences, and depending on what you prefer, it will enhance your overall gaming experience. Being a gamer, I enjoy them all. I appreciate the questions! If you have any more, feel free to ask. Also, welcome to KZbin. Says you signed up an hour ago.

[@Arcade-Steam-FPGA]

@@dthomasfromncI have a question about the systems that each one uses. We love the system that you were demonstrating I believe it was on the retro cade cabinet with the drawer pull out and 2 subs. What we like is the menu system setup with search using Xbox controller, Keybaord, or control panel. We love the save state feature in addition to pausing a game. This way you can quit a game and come back later and restart a game from your former progress. (Not sure if that works for every game or only certain systems) this system was done with hyperspin. We have a gaming cabinet that has hyperspin and does not have any of that in it. So confused as to why one hyperspin I drive is different from another drive. Do all of the cabinets you answered about above have all of those features? Also who changes these system menu features if it’s not one company who makes them all. Which system do you like the most when it comes to the gaming navigation like search, save state, and the games that they give you. It seems most systems give you the same stuff. We live in NC too. Wish we could come by and hang out and check out your stuff so we can decide what we want to build next. We for sure like the ultimate pedestal and we for sure want to play gun games. Thanks for your time and attention to our question. Awesome guy.

[@lwbrink]

How can you afford all of these great systems? I watched the pinball one (as you saw and replied to my comment on) and now this one! Thousands of dollars for sure!

[@lukehaaksma5017]

Hey man I got a question about buying from EHA do you do the artwork after ordering it?

[@RatchetBookClub]

Yes, they will contact you to get your art concept.

[@ggray1213]

Correct, u will send them the photos and the locations you want them placed, they will then send u the proofs for you to approve before production.

[@dthomasfromnc]

Yeah, you can do it after ordering. Or if you already got your art ready prior to ordering, that'll work as well.

[@curtjones7381]

Do they sponsor you? How much do they. Charge for expansion

[@dthomasfromnc]

The expansion is free for customers when they purchase a machine only if you let them know in the section that says, "How'd you hear about us" you select DThomas. You can say it's a sponsor. The price for the Expansion Drive itself, I'm not quite sure. Maybe a couple hundred but don't quote me on that.😂

[@AquaSenpai1995]

how stable is that mount when using the pedestal controls??? does the tv shake alot?

[@dthomasfromnc]

@AquaSenpai1995 it's pretty stable. I've bumped into that mount a few times and the TV still there standing strong 🤣 Said to myself, "Lemme be a lil more careful." But where I have it set up, I've had a tendency to bump it. So it's safe to say it's pretty stable.

[@rudebwoy1222]

What’s good D gotta quick question? I currently have an OG megacade (upgrading soon) but in your opinion that Spider-Man machine you have (can’t remember the name) it do you think those guns/gun games work better then the megacade? I seem to always have to recalibrate my guns every single time I play a game then turn the machine off I can’t just load up a gun game and play😞 so what would you recommend? Because I’m low key wanting to upgrade my megacade and pick up that Spider-Man machine later down the line OR should I just skip the upgrade and get the other machine?

[@dthomasfromnc]

What up! The Spider-Man cab, aka Retro-Cade, is what you are referring to. The light guns work flawlessly on there. Literally, you just plug them in, and they work. I've never had to recalibrate them for any play session. When you speak about the "other machine," are you referring to the Ultimate Pedestal? If so, then the light guns work amazingly well on there as well. Where the Retro-Cade has the upper hand is with their accessories drawer & unique kick plate. It all boils down to your personal preference, cost, community and which machine appeals to you the most. Older Megacades like mine from 2019 have outdated specs compared to the Retro-Cade, whereas their newer machines like the Ultimate Pedestal (& probably their new Megacades) have updated specs. If you want to stay within the EHA realm, an updated machine would be cool. But if you want to go to another level from a machine perspective, the Retro-Cade has something very unique that I have yet to see any other arcade manufacturer bring to the table. Hope this helps out a little. After reading this, what are you leaning more towards?

[@rudebwoy1222]

@@dthomasfromnc thanks for the reply I’ve been looking into getting another machine for a while now and after seeing your video about the retro-cade I’m most likely going to go that route and then update my current megacade machine since it was my first machine it holds a piece of my heart lol and I think after I update it it’ll be good but yeah I’ll most likely go with the retro cade or maybe even the extreme pedestal because I was looking into that as well. Ugh so many choices might take a play out your book and get them all eventually haha but for right now I’m more so leaning towards the retro Cade seems like the all around machine for what I’m looking for at the moment. Again appreciate the feedback brother!!
