Title: Doomy joystick video
Post by: gdanko on July 17, 2008, 11:14:52 PM
Forgive me if there is already a topic for this subject but TJLazer just showed me this video. Doomy reviews 25 year old joysticks! What cracks me up is he has two microphones on the table, making it look like some sort of stupid press conference!

Wow!

That is pretty funny.

I couldn't watch Doomy singing 'Only Amiga'. Someone said that it made them sick a little bit in their mouth. I actually thought it was a lot more dangerous than that.

This one was quite watchable.
It was sort of like Agent Smith reviewing ancient joysticks from the nth-100 version of the matrix.  :crazy:

This is Doomy?  Looks can be deceptive!

I couldn't watch the whole thing was an annoying buzzing/feedback going on there.

What I did see actually sounded quite interesting, the part about torro(?) especially.

Ive heard a lot of Doomy-bashing since i regestered.  What did he do, or is he just a nutcase??

Christ, where to start?

Scammer, Dickhead, obsessed and I mean obsessed with Military Spec A2000's and generally insane.

If you walk funny and he offers to fix it.... refuse.

I think he is very wrong about the flightsim jokes....
The best ones (IMO) is the saitek X series flight jokes... i have the early  X36F (with the X35T combo), the X45 and the X52... and they are unmatched...

And i think he is badly prepared for his video. He has to read of the badges on the joysticks... no good...
And the video has some bad interference...

@pyrre

I'm not going to watch the video, but if he doesn't have THIS (http://geocities.com/cablepics/hardware4/hardware4.html) joystick in it, then he should buy it from me to complete his collection. Although, I'm not going to be sending it to him so he can inspect it before telling me how much he wants to pay for it. (He's tried scam before, yes.)

The freaky thing about Doomy is that a lot of folks here would probably like him in person, That is until you tried to strike a deal with him for some Amiga stuff.

Then he would go all bat S#$%^ crazy on you!

I've met many people like him. They have a lot of charisma up front but watch out for the second wind....

If you squint at the monitor you can almost see the joystick he's talking about.  Was the second microphone there to privide the pleasant hum background noise?

Its kinda scary, it makes me think what would happen if Doomy got his hands on a time machine.

Ach at least I have a theory as to who assassinated Bill Gates and Steve Jobs back in 1981!

I want the Terrance and Philip figures in the "Tonight Matthew" video.  Smells like a dirty fart!

He chair-dances when he sings.  Yeesh.  Could be a little more animated.

I just can't bring myself to watch a video with the words Doomy and Joysticks in it.  I am afraid of what he might be shown doing with his joystick.  :lol:

It was hard enough to even read some of the messages in this thread, not knowing where it might lead.

Isn't he risking his life by making videos and showing to people who he really is and what he looks like?

I guess there are plenty of people that have been cheated by him,and plenty of people that would want to punch him a lot.

If i were him i would avoid posting videos or pictures of myself.

One thing I notice in his presentations, is that his workshop is very clean and tidy.

Yea, but that is only the part you actually see in the video... Almost makes me wonder whats behind the camera...

If you spent all your time indoors playing with your military spec A2000 and eating french fries... your skin would soon turn pasty white with a thin plasticy type sheen to it.

Almost like the glistening crusty skin you see on 70's actors in an episode of Cannon, Quincy or Rockford Files.

Just Like Doomy

Hey Quincy was cool! Don't bag on him! But Jim Rockford was an idiot. :)

I have no data caps, so bandwidth is not an issue for me.

I wold have thought that guy taking about 30 year old joys sticks would be as dull as an Eddie Murphy comedy... but no... "This was one of the first joy sticks, to have a button, on the stick" "Another nice thing is that it has a stainless steel ball..."

I wonder when Doomy finds out that we've arrived in the digital age and you won't have to use your 70s VCR to record a video and digitize it afterwards... Plus connecting left/right audio channels the way the audience needs them... (Audience? What audience?  :crazy:) :lol:

I don't know much about this person.  But is it at all possible that he is mentally ill and someone we should be taking pity on?

you wouldn't say that if you had been victim of his scamming and unprovoked attacks.

no, he is not ill and unfortunately there is no cure for being a jerk.

Well I asked a question.  I hardly made any statement in his defense now did I?  

Has anyone ever involved the cops to try to shut this guy down?

Ok then.  Though I shudder at the thought that a sane grown man without any beers in him and without doing it on a dare actually purposely sings "Only Amiga".  Where I come from thats not considered well.   :lol:

Someone needs to take him away, maybe to the moon so he stops breathing. I agree he needs help....

MEH! Over a cliff maybe!

I got better things to do with my time then watch this jerk, slamming my head in a door would be more fun.

I'm off to play F.E.A.R, at least I can shoot the scary stuff I see on the screen and it goes away, unlike the blight on the Amiga world that is DOOMY!!

Ok, I watched some of it right up to the point where he described a joystick as:

"instead of using microswitches, this one uses the higher quality, more professional leaf-switches"

Is he mad?! Leaf switches are notoriously unreliable because they bend out of shape and lose contact! (aside from that, leaf switches were used in joysticks originally, and later replaced BY microswitches).  The only benefit of leaf switched joysticks was that they were quieter to use.

and he talk of wico joysticks like they are the holy grail or something. but that he dont tell us is that the crappy boss joystick are exactly the same joysick as the wico joysticks but with a different name. if you dont believe me just open one of both and you will find the same {bleep} inside.... hahahaha!

Someone needs to tell him the Video Toaster is better and more feature rich in an Amiga 4000 instead of his beloved Amiga 2000, LOL. Doomy has a video out where he explains that the Video Toaster is better in an A2000.
