It's gonna be busy had this He wants one in his gamer call her. She'll get it. I think you're gonna be miss arcade
    4:02
    All right. I am super excited to unbox this thing Nicole I'm gonna have you cut the stress then we're gonna I think most of its kind of put together already But we shall see Oh put some muscle in
    4:14
    Say with Jess See, it's older. Alright. Okay, so now... I think this box comes in. Alright, so let's get a big box here.
    4:44
    Hold on, I'm just not quite... Oh, there's cords attached somewhere. Actually, it's not gonna come out here. What's that? The guns are attached. Ah.
    5:04
    Oh, it may be better, okay, let's get these off. No, we'll just pull this thing off. I guess that's one way to do it. Things to learn from our mistakes. This is a bar that's pretty tight. See it's all kind of put together. It's like Christmas morning. Ah, this is like the... Alright, I'm going to show the people what this looks like real quick. we have the gun and then this looks like the bat block right the marquee
    6:18
    all right so on this piece of paper says important guns will not function properly if marquee is not placed and connected correctly okay so marquee sits on top of the monitor not in front and not behind front of the marquee sits flush with the front of the monitor marquee tab is flush against the monitor face must be flush so they're really they're saying must be flush marquee tab is centered within monitor face connect IR marquee six-pin connector that's not bad check it out see if you guys can see see it's gonna be flush must be flush look at them exclamation points they mean business man this is cool this is different than pinball And then how do we want to do this?
    7:18
    So this separate Okay, yes, just that one peaceful This thing is heavy but look how cool this thing is. So you got the big buck hunter reloaded. That's what I like about the reloaded because it's not just a hunting thing. You got your big buck hunter but then look you got your terminator and monster stuff too. And I think I've got the terminator topper too to go with the lit eyes. I love this. I'm going to have like every Raw Thrills thing I think. Oh yeah, TV monitor comes with it. The stand. That's awesome. Or the mounting. I guess you could even mount this on your wall if you wanted to. Nice Ahhh I
    8:36
    Like it and the guns sit here, I guess I'm not to show you guys the other side of it because it's got
    8:46
    It's got the monsters. It's got Terminator Terminator on there It's awesome sweet oh it's even got the like a swiper in there and a bill collector already on get out of here very cool the knees I guess like so. Now we got to find a place for it. I can't believe we're about to have a this cool of arcade in our home. That's awesome. Okay. All right guys so now you can see the beauty that is this side. I really like the art on this side and we'll get some zoom in pics for you soon But the other nice thing that Nicole and I found out, it's on a roller. So it moves around a lot easier than a pinball machine. So I like that. And then I think that we'll probably find, roll it around here so people can see.
    9:52
    This says keys. Let's see what's in there. There they are. Cool. While Nicole's messing around, I'm going to show you guys this thing. How cool is this? Topper y'all! Look at that. Sweet! This goes on top of it and the eyes light up. And this came in the package so that's awesome. I think for those of you with the HD or the Wild that want to upgrade to this topper, it's only like a hundred bucks. But now that I'm getting into the industry, we'll see these prices go up. Cool. Oh, just like a pinball machine, there's some keys in here for the back of the machine and that's probably where the manual and stuff will be. Alright, so I was getting ready to unlock this, but I noticed there's some screws right here and here, so we're going to have to take these out first. Oh, of course he has that one. Booyah! Okay, let's see what's in here. Here's what we need. Okay. The cord here. And the manual. Alright. Looks like there's a power supply in here. And a power supply. manual. Looks like there's a power supply in here. Computer. Verizon 4G SIM card.
    12:09
    And then you got your bag of goodies. Built really well. And also you have all your screws and hardware here. And then... It does say on the panorama version, you want to make sure the monitor does not exceed 120 pounds. That'd be rare for it too. Now we're going to go through the cabinet setup. It walks us through the cabinet setup and getting that marquee up.
    12:52
    Purchasing a monitor. It tells you all about that. That's really nice. The pedestal. It walks you through every single thing that you need to know, as well as hooking the system up. What do we got in there? I was going to let you maybe tell them about this.
    13:10
    So we got a USB here. Looks like it restores the software. Okay, if you need to restore. Power cord. No, that's the HDMI cable. Simple enough. Hardware to hook up the stands. Simple enough.
    13:26
    There's our power cord and our game registration for Roll Thrills. And you guys see I get the online version.
    13:36
    So we're battling people. If you don't want a bill acceptor, there's that. And what's this? Oh, this is just a billet sifter stuff. Okay. Looks like a lot, but it won't be bad. Place stanchion in each of the mounting holes with cabinet bolt holes at the bottom. Center holes should be facing inside the cabinet. Okay.
    14:00
    Nice. Facing the back of the game, route the marquee power cable through the right stanchion. Six-pin connector should remain on top. Okay. So, where did you put those? The bolt holes down here. Do you think it goes down all the way? It looks like it's caught there, so I'm assuming it's... Yeah.
    14:19
    Yeah, it goes right there. So the bolt hole's at the bottom, and then the center hole there goes on the inside.
    14:31
    Boom. Then we're probably going to mount those there onto that wood. All right, now we have the poles in there. As they said, there's one cable coming out of there. We're going to route it up through this right one. All right. it up through there it'll probably go up more but we're gonna do it for this right now that we have that routed through the next step they want us to run the HDMI and the monitor cable so that TV screen we pulled it out of the box got the power cable from that we're gonna run that up through the left side and also we're gonna plug in the HDMI right in the back of the computer right there easy peasy got the HDMI and you know what would have been easier if we just went down with it instead of up no I'm just saying for people out there that you know instead of fishing it up you fish it down we've got the monitor power and the HDMI routed HDMI is plugged in the only thing I've seen Nicole is saying that the power cable for our TV may be a little short, so it may need an extension cord or something. We'll see how close it is. Alright, so the next step is to secure these to the cabinet. There's a hole on the outside, a hole on the inside. You put a bolt through there. Actually, I put a bolt through this side, the flat one, so it's not protruding out of the game, right? And then you attach this. The problem we found is that I guess on some of these, they sent the wrong one, so I'm going to have to go get just a hair longer of this so it comes out on the outside. So we're going to do that. Right now we'll probably put the game together without securing that. Then I'll run to the hardware store to grab some of those.
    16:20
    Next we're going to take the monitor mount and we're going to apply it to this. So we're going to take off, just like you would be hanging an LCD screen TV on the wall. We're going to essentially take these armatures off to apply to the back of the monitor. Then we're going to take this plate and we're going to mount it up here. The next thing we're going to do is take the mounting bracket. This is for our monitor. We going to put it onto this thing Now there hex bolts and it wants us to use here a set of holes here here a set of holes here It says the third one on each It goes from here to here. Then that one will go from there to there. That's got a nylon nut to go on the outside. So we'll do that now. Now, so taking, I think this is a 3 8ths. Yeah, I think it's 3 8ths. We're going to tighten this, hold the other end, tighten all four of those. What we did next was took these TV brackets and mounted them onto the TV as you would any regular LCD screen that you're hanging up. The nice thing is that Royal Thrills provides, just like a lot of your TV adapters, different sizes based on the TV that you're using.
    18:01
    Alright, so we got the TV mounted. The only thing that Nicole and I had to do differently was wherever we chose these on this mount, this piece right here is adjustable. Two screws here adjusts and holds that into place. It was coming down right on there so we had to take these off. put the monitor on and then reapply these to secure it.
    18:22
    All right, next step is going to be to take the marquee and see these things right here. They're gonna be loose right now until you adjust them, but we're gonna place those right on top.
    18:33
    Oh, shorty, Nicole. I got mine. That must be kind of slugged in here until we can see through it. So we'll set it there on the monitor. Yeah, keep going. We'll adjust it here in a minute. Just to make sure not to pinch any of the cords. Now this is one of the most important parts of the entire marquee because in here, I believe, are the sensors for these guns. So it has step-by-steps, and we'll walk you through it, on where this needs to line up in relation to that monitor. It needs to be hanging just slightly over the edge of it. So we'll do that now. And it also gives you an indication right here for the center as well. So we're going to work on that real quick. Here's the part that they're wanting us to pay attention to. This thing can come up, down, front, back, but they want you to take, there's a tab right here in the middle. It's got to be overlapping the monitor, but you want everything else flush with the monitor. So we've got this positioned right now in a way that it's going to sit flush and then this tab is barely going to go over the monitor as a center point. We've got our depth correct so it's not overhanging too much or it's not too in depth and then we've got height wise we'll go back there and adjust it so it's resting right above that monitor. Alright now from the back side here we want to make sure that none of these are pinched in that but there's two bolts here, two bolts here that are responsible for that depth. going to tighten those up as well as it'll tighten for, let's see right there, it'll tighten this whole thing up.

We're supposed to connect them here, but it's opposite. it so i'm going to reroute this to the other side and vice versa because my power and my hdmi are over here on this side so i'm going to take those wires and just swap them reroute them all right now that they are rerouted my power and hdmi are on the correct side and this bad boy is on the correct side i'm going to take this clip it in like so bam you're good there you can always reroute this hide it make it nice and pretty like and then I'm going to go ahead and I don't know if the instructions told me but I'm going to go ahead and plug that power into the monitor as well as the HDMI. So far a really clean system. All right I can go back and check all my points to make sure everything is secure but I think we're set up. Now again on the dedicated cabinet that 42 inch cabinet you don't have to do any of this. I think they give you instructions just to go through make sure all the connections are secure and complete before plugging it in and testing it all out. But what we're going to do, we're going to spin this sucker around so that you can visually see what it looks like in your game room. And then we'll plug it in and go through the diagnostics on setting the system up. I'm excited.
    22:42
    Oh guys, I about forgot my Terminator topper. All right, this is going to be super simple to install because it's four screws with washers. They're already drilled out in the marquee for you to put them up there and then see this is just going to split that signal that we that we put right here so we're just split it go in one way boom out the other BAM Bob but a boom but a boom the one thing it kind of sucks mounting this thing is that raw thrills you can't see it but they used a security but raw thrills security bit on a top I've already been talking with raw thrills becoming a dealer about how important toppers are going to be for me and you so be expecting raw thrills in the future to have really really cool toppers take this or an unclip that
    23:41
    goes there I'm so excited. Wait, just wait. Ladies and gentlemen, introducing the world's coolest toy.
    24:01
    Ta-da! Would you look at it? So cool. I mean how badass is this thing? I am gonna love killing some zombie deer. Let's turn it on, calibrate it, and then let's see if Nicole wants to get her ass whooped. I'll run up on some kids too. Alright now that we have it hooked up we're gonna power this thing on. The power button is in the back of the cab. Once we have that powered on I'm certain there's probably some gun calibration that we're going to have to go through as well as system diagnostics setup etc we're going to go through that together and then we're going to start shooting some zombies alright guys now down in the cabinet here there's a couple buttons for volume and there's some buttons for test that tells us to press test up there so we're gonna press that follow the on-screen instructions and shoot the targets to ensure that your guns fire accurately we can do that. Pull the trigger on the left green gun. Alright, shoot the red dot above the monitor. Aim and shoot the target You got it Left gun has been calibrated Look down your sight Press the left green start button if satisfied I'm satisfied. Right gun. Look down the sights of the guns. Aim the gun back and forth at a steady speed. Press test to skip. The nice thing about this system is it's a brand new TV so for the most part I haven't had to calibrate much of anything at all. Choose your connection type. We're going to go with Wi-Fi. Oh that's cool. Wired. Wireless. Cellular. Let's go wireless. all right let's go away the minis you guys aren't gonna see this part all right so we entered our password now we're gonna get this thing started let's see if it can hook up to the internet we're in business It says successful if you guys can't see a home connection information has been saved we can always change that later on but we are
