MaximumRD

Hah well here is a couple videos, NOT NEW (THEY ARE FROM ABOUT 1 YEAR AGO) BUT I had never posted them on my main MaximumRD channel before today. I just uploaded them and so I share them here today. Another cheap ANDROID GAMING tablet, I love my previous JXD units but this model is by a company called GPD. What I find in general with these various cheaper import tablets is there is generally always something that is lacking. Compared to my JXD this unit seems to have a screen that is easier to scratch as well the WiFi connection seems weaker. That said for actual emulation and gaming they are pretty sweet with built in controller buttons and Dpad etc. Anyway here is an unboxing of the GPD unit followed later by a flashing of the default ANDROID firmware, this is something I do with all of these type of devices as the default firmwares while serviceable are often lacking compared to alternatives made available by homebrew developers like Skelton.

One of a couple videos that I had never gotten around to posting on this my main channel. OK actually it IS the GPD Q89 but at the time of ordering I was expecting the Q88+, Willgoo seemed to take a long time to ship but it worked out as I ended up with this slightly upgraded Q89 model. Anyway, here is the unboxing in part #1 which I will immediately follow up with a Custom Fimrware Flash in part #2. Thanks for watching! Forgotten Video! GPDQ88+/Q89ANDROID Gaming tablet!

One of a couple videos that I had never gotten around to posting on this my main channel. Here you will see me Flash the Default ROM with another of Skelton's awesome custom Android Firmware's , yes I decided to do that as they are always an improvement IMHO and better than the custom stock firmware typically shipped with these cheaper import tablets.

I visited a relative in Chicago years ago when I was around 19 or so, being a huge John Hughes fan I had to seek out the "Breakfast Club" school and found out it was actually located in a suburb called Schiller Park , IL , ( "Shermer" was a fictional suburb created various Hugh's movies ) It seemed abandoned or closed but being the adventures type in my youth I tried the doors and was surprised to find one open, I thought if I could just get some pictures of the locations like the library, detention room etc . I entered and walked around inside to looking for the famous library etc, the building was pretty much empty, there were not even typical school lockers against the walls. Instead I finally found a room with several rows of lockers all stacked together when a custodian (guard) caught me and told me the "Library" was just a set built in the Gymnasium then removed after filming, he told me to leave, I had the impression it was not unusual for people to enter uninvited. The school had closed years prior due to lack of attendance and was used only for filming etc. This is me in the image many years ago, sadly I only had a crap 110 film camera Come to think of it this was also my first trip outside of Canada and would remain the case for many years until I met my wife. As first trip's go that was a pretty good one!

I've not made a new video in sometime but it occurred to me I should share some of my older videos in which I checked out some ARCADES ! We do not have much locally so when I had a chance in my travels over the years I took the opportunity. Hope you enjoy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pd9896I9qfk&index=3&list=PL5JnLOJAHULkrydH-gvs52y663kiNMXAV https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J45vp5bHzao&index=1&list=PL5JnLOJAHULkrydH-gvs52y663kiNMXAV https://youtu.be/-jYOIc3zqL4?list=PL5JnLOJAHULkrydH-gvs52y663kiNMXAV

Seems Mike Kennedy continues hiding, well I guess that is better than hearing more BS? Probably he will lay low, I cannot imagine he will appear or make statements to the retro gaming community anytime soon.............

LOL seems I hit submit while you were posting, you are on it! Seems that I...

ANNNNNND to the shock of absolutely none..... Coleco officially pulls its name from the Chameleon http://www.engadget.com/2016/03/08/coleco-pulls-support-from-chameleon/

It's funny because it is sites like these that are all to happy to jump on the Coleco Chameleon or RetroVGS bandwagon with clickbait headlines and little research and fact checking but when the community discovers the truth they are right there to put out their article on the "facts" we already concluded some time ago! Oh they are so out of touch.

RE: John / Gamester81 Honestly myself, I been saying it without flat out saying it to be polite, I really do NOT think John was in on the fake prototype or console scam, he simply is not smart enough, ignorance is bliss, he follows because he does not know any better. When he says "My company (CollectorVision) just develops games" he says it like we are supposed to believe that he has anything to do with that process lol. "John" does not develop anything, he has a personal financial stake in the company that ports games but he is just a face, someone people for god knows why relate to and admire because he has a huge collection but I never found him personally to be very knowledgeable beyond the most basic info you can look up on wikipedia regarding his consoles, games etc. I am sure he loves classic games and yeah he has a killer collection and I've no doubt at heart he is a nice guy but at the same time I only ever considered his involvement with Collectorvision like Steve Jobs with APPLE, a frontman, a face except more of a lobotomized Steve Jobs who really is just there to be the go between man for Collectorvision and the gaming community as it were. I THINK to assume he was in cahoots with MIKE KENNEDY is giving John far too much credit but yeah his video addressing things was horrible.

@Delorean - 100% agree with your assessment on John / Gamester81 and this video he recently released imho not only confirms your opnion but does him no favors at all. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgl2fzHjy84

Brilliant loll! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aq-zDb-Xdws

Well it is blowing up all over Facebook, various forums, youtube etc. Feeling vindicated and oddly none of those on Facebook who insisted I was a troll or just some guy who had no proof and was just "hater" seem to be saying anything now lol. I always call them as I see them which is not always popular when you are conveying things people just don't want to hear so it is pretty sweet to see this outcome.
