Off-topic again (sorry)
SPOILER
Been working on this the entire afternoon with my dad, woohoo

It's been 10 years since we last mounted a dance pad on plywood. This time, we mounted a GameCube dance pad so I can use it for the DDR games on the Wii. An awesome version is coming out this October 11
It's almost the same as how I mounted my PSX/2 dance pad back in 2001.

Of course the most time consuming part was the woodwork. There's some extra piece of plywood in the garage so we got 2 1m x 1m pieces using a Crosscut Saw (bad idea, worst saw ever for plywood), stuck them together (using 29357023985 adhesives), sandpapering the crap out of it, packaging tape everywhere, and finally mounting the pad. The pad is stapled with... a stapler, to the board. Much as it sounds silly, it's actually really sturdy. Very thick plastic cover was used to cover the pad and the wood. And there we go.
The 10 year old PSX/2 pad actually has its staplers over both the plastic cover AND the pad. For some reason IDK what my dad was thinking but it wasn't the case this time.
Oh well, I can't wait...
