Side story. On the way back a car slammed into the back of us. As i got out the guy hauls ass and im running down the highway trying to get his tag. Luckily the truck was ok. Not even a scratch. But ol dudes car was crushed.

Your story made me think of this....

Ive previously done Street Fighter II (almost complete redraw of the dots), Baywatch, Lethal Weapon 3, and Terminator 2

[Howard_Casto]

Nice man.  I didn't realize you were doing color dmd stuff.

[Nephasth]

Pretty sure he's just doing it out of spite now.

[pbj]

SF2 is an odd pinball machine.  Nice layout but weird rules.  Haven't owned any of the others you've done...

How about WCS 94 next?  My favorite DMD......

My parents are celebrating their 50th anniversary this weekend.

[thomas_surles]

Good lord. My dads not even 50 years old.
Congrats though

[Mike A]

Thank you for making me feel old.

[thomas_surles]

Thank you for making me feel old.

No worries. Im probably the yougest dude on here.

[Mike A]

We need young whippersnappers around here.

Good job on the colorization. It's cool to do something that you could one day come across running on someone else's real machine.

Turned the big 50 on Sat. Had over 60 people show up and it didn't rain so that in itself was chufftastic. Had 10 gallons of great homebrew done by a friend. Managed to save one growler for myself before they both kicked.

Nice dude, he hung around afterwards and signed a ton of stuff.

Giving a listen at work.  I dig it.

Speaking of electronic music, Gary Numan's new album "Songs From A Broken World" is pretty good.
I try to listen to all the newly released albums on Rhapsody/Napster that are tolerable (usually end up skipping country and rap after the first few minutes of an album).
This was one of the few unexpected surprises that I'll actually listen to again.

I've been hyped on that album for 2 months and he did not disappoint.  It sounds phenomenal on a good sound system.

Who would have ever thought the Cars dude would go goth industrial?  He's doing a concert in Houston in December and I've been vibrating since I found out.

Well, “Cars” is pretty Goth New Wave if you think about it.

[pbj]

Sure, no argument there, but he kinda came out of nowhere circa 2000 and went full on NIN with better lyrics.

[Mike A]

I booked my flight and room for Zapcon a couple days ago. Today I booked my room for the Midwest Gaming Classic in Milwaukee. It is the weekend before Zapcon. It's party time.

[HaRuMaN]

I like NIN's cover of Numan's Metal:

Things I now own

 

[Howard_Casto]

I always wondered who bought that stuff. 

Not that I can talk as I've recently become the proud owner of a shirt that reads:  "Even though I'm left handed, I'm always right."

The other day I stopped at a red light. And about 15 full seconds later a car slammed into me. I pulled over, and the guy pulled in behind. His car was crushed in at the front. He made a clean spot on my bumper. He claims he was brushing the hair out of his face. He kept his distance, even though I was laughing about it. My truck was fine so I said he can have my information if he wants but I was in a hurry. Then I told him his dad was gonna kill him. He agreed and tears started pouring. I rolled my eyes and left.

[Howard_Casto]

Dude don't make teenagers cry.  +2 naff points for you. 

[thomas_surles]

Your ass can fit in that?

[HaRuMaN]

He straddles the center console...

[pbj]

I fit fine.  They've been extended.  I could fit in the old ones even when I was at my peak.  Have any of you actually been inside a sports car?

[dkersten]

I'm a grandpa!

[pbj]

Congrats!  That the boy that dented your fridge?



Latest tacky project.  Work in progress.

[dkersten]

Yup.

Congrats!  That the boy that dented your fridge?

Yup.

Please dont get revenge by denting the baby.  Congrats Grandpa!

[yotsuya]

Awwww.... James made Gary Numan cry...

[pbj]

1 - lol Instagram

2 - I'm honestly shocked, it's not a thematically pleasant album.  Apparently his highest position on the charts in 36 years.
