I hear you, brother. By the time we finished loading Arcadenut's truck, got my stuff home, had dinner, unloaded his stuff, got Harvey and VWbus back to the hotel in Mesa, and then got myself home, I didn't go to bed till 1:30. Then I had to get up at 6 for work.

I'm going to post a very thorough, more detailed breakdown of the weekend later, but I just wanted to say I really appreciate all you guys and ladies coming out to hang out with us Phoenicians at our little arcade show. I'm quite chuffed that you would spend your time and money to come and play video games, run around, and just generally socialize with us arcade Misfits. To me, the beauty is seeing you guys from out of state, country even, mingling with the local friends I have in this hobby. We have a great Community here in Phoenix. We look out for each other, we don't compete with each other, and we help each other out. And to see you guys interacting like that, well, it makes it all worth it to me. I really am looking forward to seeing you guys again. I would love to be greedy and say see you guys next year, but if you guys make it out every couple years, I'd be the happiest mofo in the city of Phoenix. I look forward to you coming out in the future with your families and enjoying what our city has to offer, and not just when it comes to videogames.

Some of my favorite ZapCon 2016 moments...

Playing ThunderJaws with Vigo and not being able to stop laughing at how ambiguously gay the character sprites are.

Neph loosing his cheese to the pavement gods at the Monestary.

Watching Aceldamor and Yotsuya devastate what I thought was a decent Black Widow score I put up at Starfighters.

Keeping my name on the Raiden Fighters scoring table all weekend.

Ond telling me why he loved Star Wars 7

Forcing retrogreg to have another beer so I could get a badge.

Meeting Brien and Jawhn.

Going to play Train in Vain on the Casa de Yotsuya touchscreen Juke but listening to West End Girls instead because it came on right as I was about to select and I was like, well that's actually pretty cool too...

Circling the Sky Harbor teminals... "Are you wearing Neon Yellow Shoes?!?!?"

Oh and taking this selfie....

Harvey beat me to it!

My favorite thing about each person....

Giving Aceldamor tips on how to repair the Cyberball cab. Good luck, brother!

The #JORTS tshirt Nexusmtz had on Saturday morning.

Talking about San Diego with Dmckean and his lovely wife outside In-N-Out.

Typefighter01 showing me the only pair of white flip-flops he could find.

Ond introducing me to some awesome 80s Aussie rock as we drove back from dinner and a trip to Hot Topic and Target.

Sitting next to Laythe and his girlfriend NotTHATJennifer at the Monastery and unwinding.

Trying to get DeLuSioNaL29's attention by blasting "Uptown Funk" with Vigo and HMB and failing miserably.

My NBA Jam cab almost killing harveybirdman as we loaded it back into my house (a close second was his burning ---uvula---).

Realizing Neph was still alive after his skydiving trip Sunday morning.

Videobombing DeL's camera with Malenko.

Confirming with HaRuMaN that Grey_Area was creeper stalking us at StarFighters.

Realizing Vigo was a hell of a lot younger than I thought he was.

Realizing VWalbridge was at a different terminal, taking the road to go get him, then getting the text that he was on a bus to the terminal we just left.

Meeting all of Slippyblade's family (finally).

RetroGreg earning his drink badge by buying me my only one of the weekend at the Monastery.

Melvinbates saving the day with his van.

Arcadenut sharing sage advice at 10:59 at night while waiting for our Buffalo Wild Wings order to show.

Sitting on the floor of the Center with Jawhn burning Freeplay ROMS on my burner and TKW4RR10R laptop the night before the show.

Winning Best In Show for the third year in a row with the rest of my Vulcan Bros there with me (except for the one Canadian sexing his way across Italy with his old lady)

And finally, spending so much time with TacoTownCharlie!

I never got to play the Hobbit, but it sure did look cool #datbackglassdoh

A few more...

Drinking beers with Ond and Vigo and Neph and learning about some stuff on BYOAC that I'm DEFINITELY going to have to search for.

Malenko's moderation comment during the group pic.... and speaking of that is on damn sexy ginger....

Dmckean's family making me wish I brought mine.

The happy looks on everyone's face I noticed when they were playing games, it was totally noticeable every where I walked around this weekend.

Hearing the locals plan their stops and load outs and still managing to get all of Paul and Brien's games in one fell swoop.

Playing Killer Queen with the group.

Showing people the hidden level in Zapcon the game and hearing them cackle as much as I did the first time I saw it.

Breakfast with Vigo and Neph on Saturday and talking about my boring career in banking.

Playing the Dark Ride with Vigo and Yots at Castles and Coasters, I wish we had a place like that in Tulsa.

It was an awesome weekend, I highly suggest attending ZapCon at least once. I hope to make it to future events!

The group photo..It honestly didn't hit me how many of us were there until we grouped up for the photo

Kicking it with Malenko in Haruman's booth just talkin' ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---

Running around with Jawhn and Yots burning free play roms on DK Jr @ midnight Friday night.

Talking woodworking with Yots on some projects.

In and Out burger with Ond, just talking about cultural differences and campy late 80's early 90's sci-fi movies

Being done with the loading before Yots and the loading crew showed up.

Walking around Zapcon and seeing Harvey B's dedication to Raiden....then chattin him up about Zback cabs, and that apparently his #jorts were a wee bit snug

Not getting my order correct at the Monistary because of the sheer about of people that came Fri. night the poor waitress couldn't keep up.

Just a few of my highlights:

After checking into the hotel, stealthily walking around the back side of the convention center and peaking in at all the games.

When everyone arrived at the Monastery and realizing we were a crowd of 30+ people. Wow!

The odd feeling of talking to another guy about arcade controls without his eyes rolling back into his head.

Experiencing Startfighters, that place is seriously awesome. Any arcade enthusiast coming to Phoenix needs to make it to this place.

Watching my daughter run back and forth from one end of the hotel room to the other so she could alternate between looking at herself in the mirror and playing with the swivel chair.

Waking up early Saturday morning so we could be in line by 9:00am.

Seeing the back of a least one BYOAC t-shirt every time I'd look down a row of games.

Showing some of the younger attendees how to bring a dead pin back to life.

Danger Dann giving Matilda the cool vintage Qbert plush and taking a bunch of pictures with him later on.

Taking a two hour family nap in the hotel room Saturday afternoon.

Us all going to IN-N-OUT so Ond could experience awesomeness for the first time in his sheltered Australian life. There were some great conversations going on there too!

Clearing Macross with my wife Saturday night after my daughter fell asleep.

StarFire was awesome

Got to eat In and Out Burger again

Both going 9-1 on Killer Queen with my fellow BYOACers, and getting ROFL stomped playing with Vigo , the brat , and the fat kid. Sub highlight, when Vigo thought I made the brat cry in the lobby.

Drawing dickbutt on Yot's poster / him getting me back with "I <3 X2" and "BUY A KADE!"

Seeing how much everyone couldnt finish / HATED the "Malenko frogger level" in the Zapcon game, especially "notTHAT Jennifer"

Telling racist / pedophile jokes at Diamonds with Neph, Vigo, and OND. Worst Service ever.

TACO.TOWN.CHARLIE.

Sleeping on Haruman's couch

Elvira.

Watching everyone earn their PBJ badges.

Yelling "Canada is America's hat" during the group photoshoot.

getting my "official" UCA award from Yots

I was really impressed how people got excited about the badges. It was just a little idea I had, and it really turned out to be probably the most team-building thing throughout the whole weekend. People were actively helping people earn badges by doing things like setting up photo bombs and stuff like that.

I will say for me personally, one of the highlights of having guys who I have known a long time on this board in my Gameroom, playing my games.

Best weekend I've had in a long time.

In no particular order, some highlights for me:

Getting to put faces and names to the regular crew here. It's a cool feeling, to run into a bunch of strangers who aren't strangers.

Hanging out with RetroGreg, Melvinbates, Yotsuya and Jawhn at Monastery. Great company, and it was good to have the chance to meet people before the con really got underway.

Starfighters. I think I was actually even more impressed by them than the main Zapcon floor - sure, it was smaller, but the games they had out were just an encyclopedia of my all time favorites. If I was a local, I'd be there all the time.

Meeting Jawhn. Getting edged out 7-6 in a tightly fought Space War game, by Jawhn. Getting categorically out-smack-talked by Jawhn during said game, which likely contributed to his victory.

Handling a piece of Ond's retro-futurist cabinet, and him good naturedly laughing off my awestruck reaction to it.

Getting such a big welcome from Yotsuya, and all the work he clearly put into making sure that everybody had a good time at this. Thanks, man.

Seeing the legion of BYOAC shirts *everywhere*.

Getting the chance to see how my cab compares to the originals, in detail.

Talking about cabinet design and the future of the hobby with vwalbridge.

Meeting Slippyblade and his family, and hanging with them at the In and Out. That is a guy who knows where his towel is.

Malenko's hilarious razzing over the Frogger level. A+, would get trolled again.

TLDR: That was great. Thanks, to all of you.

So glad I got a haircut since then, no one got the Akuma hair reference.

Those first two look like best buds.

I'll post a longer list of memories later...but so far, bathroom duty was pretty memorable thanks to Yots!

Sorry we had to bail on Sunday. Daughter was having abdominal pains and we were worried about appendicitis due to severity and location. Spent most of Sunday in the ER waiting on tests. Thankfully it was "just" a pulled abdominal muscle. Incredibly painful, but not dangerous.

So awesome meeting all of you people. Always weird seeing real faces attached to board names.

NotTHATJennifer needs to get an account and quit lurking.
Laythe, so cool to meet you and fanboy about your build.
Vigo, WAY younger than I assumed. Was cool introducing the wife to you. I've built a Vigolix and told her about the dream that inspired it, so she was curious who you were.

One day we'll get you in the photo, Slippy.

I *almost* made it this year. If I hadn't walked half a mile in the WRONG direction from the train stop, I'd have been on time. Next year... Next year will be different. I intend to have at least one build on the floor, if not more. I also intend to make it for the Friday night festivities. I'm starting a new job in a couple weeks that pays significantly better than my current - so it's possible!

I did manage to get a pic of your badge though. I remember taking a pic of it to remind me to do something... But then I forgot what it was. LOL.

Here ya go!

We were talking about photoshoping me into the group photo for shits and giggles.

That's right! Send me a photo standing outside with your badge on and I'll give it a go!

By the way if you guys haven't seen it, there's a cameo of TacoTownCharlie at the end of this video:

Just want add to to the Thank Yous for welcoming even the quietest of members to the fun that is ZapCon. Extra big thanks to Yots for keeping us busy earning crazy badges all weekend, even if I did overdo the Jorts badge a little (although the WTF looks on Saturday morning were worth it)

My list of random weekend memories:
Meeting a door stop in person
Grabbing a moment with Elvira (not to be confused with one who did)
Bowling on the one of the least pinbally pinballs made - and liking it
Eating In and Out and Jack in the Box on the same night just to compare
Punching a heavy bag for no reason
Overflowing the grid
Participating in the most uncoordinated poster signing event ever
Losing the ability to flex my ankles by Sunday afternoon, but having a great time anyway
Being begged at Kobalt for just one more... karaoke song, and still making it to breakfast with O+S almost on time
Surviving the RedEye. I looked like Sunday-Afternoon-Neph by the time I got home - and I stayed in the plane!

Play 100% or Don't Play!

Trying to figure out how to earn the most badges in 1 picture was pretty great. I think the final method was...

Photobomb someone taking a selfie with jawn in front of Haruman's booth while Elvira played a game while you were wearing jorts and white flipflops with your high score showing on another machine in the booth. YMMV

yotsuya · « **Reply #192 on:** April 22, 2016, 09:02:47 am »

Yeah, that #jorts shirt was epic. Thanks for making the weekend fun, nexusmtz.

Yeah, I keep opening this thread expecting a custom-made arcade game update and all I get are grown men applauding each other's ironic fashion choices.

You want an update, I have to do one small recompile to make it completely MAME cab friendly. So after I do that, I'll post it.

Don't worry guys. The game is great and it will be worth the wait. Matter of fact, ZapCon The Game already has THE seal of approval.
