    I got all you losers beat:

    • Console with RCA connectors or ant>RCA adapter
    • Plugged into the video-in adapter on my camcorder
    • Hooked up via firewire 400 to my sister’s 2000 iMac
    • Running in cracked video editing software
    • Didn’t know how to resize the windows, so my game only took up about 20% of the CRT

    I bet y’all can’t even handle how jealous you are of my sweaty ass being cooked by humming electronics while failing levels over and over due to unnecessary latency.

    I used this setup when I was grounded, which was frequent. Which also meant that I had to be really quick-like in setup and teardown and always had to pack everything back up when I was finished/heard the garage door open, to hide the evidence. My dad would check the temperatures of all the TVs around the house to make sure I wasn’t using them, but I was allowed to use the computer for homework and video editing.
