Tough Tech

So I remember Alex talking about how tough and built-to-last 80's hardware was and lo and behold, someone did the test:

[This was a very exquisite post. I enjoyed the video very much. The hole drilling was particularly brutal T_T. Anyway, very awesome. If you can find a video testing the controllers/systems of older consoles, that would be even sweeter. Regardless, this video just proves even more that digital is more workable, but very frail]

I wanna drop a NES game off a parking garage.

[You would!]

That was awesome. REALLY awesome. I wanna put it through my own experiments and I WANNA PLAY THE MESSED UP MARIO!

i fukken lol'd hard

also this proves the fact that old games are superior to your new fangled digi stuff

That is freaking crazzzzzzzy!!! lol. Duck hunt- the quack survives!!!

The now Ibanez pedals are the exact same as the design from the '80s because people liked the durability and the simple wiring that was preavalent back then. The only big difference in the main line of effects is that the WH10V2 is made out of metal now, and not plastic. That said, VOX has a better wah pedal to begin with, but still... 1980-1989 was a very sturdy decade indeed.
