MAME Arcade Cab Audio Commentary w/Drunken Master Paul

This was one of my first popular videos on YouTube…and I think it’s easy to see why: Drunken Master Paul and I are having a ton of fun tearing down and building back up an arcade cabinet that still gets used in my Game Room.

This video comprised of two full days of shooting and there was a ton of footage cut from the final video, but now you can get the behind the scenes audio commentary from both us of.

Please let me know what you think of these commentaries. Are you enjoying them? Thanks!
