You trying to temp me with that sweet trans-am in the background? Looks like you guys are having fun, sorry I missed it.

Next year you can ride up front! And depending on how early I start drinking, you might be able to drive for one of our many beer runs.

Yeah man I'll be your designated driver. I don't drink so that works out fine.

Hey ZapCon 2019 guy's, thanks for a great weekend, that was so much more than just video games and pinball. I'm already planning new journeys to visit some of you in the future. Don't be too concerned if you don't hear much from me here in the coming weeks. I'll be busy working on things promised.........

Mike A · « **Reply #654 on:** May 06, 2019, 07:02:29 am »

TacoTownCharlie picked me up from the airport and he dropped me off. I was going to have to flat out fist fight him if I wanted him to take my money. He took me out to lunch and the liquor store. Yotsuya got us contributor passes and setup the meetups including A private party at Starfighters Arcade. Jawhn made sure my cup was always full of rum. You locals really took care of us. I can't thank you enough.

To my out of town buddies. Thank you for putting up with drunk Mike for 4 days. You guys were great. I wish we could do the pool party every weekend, but Arroyo would probably die. At least Ond would have it documented on film. It was fun getting bent over by "Weekend" at Tempest. I own the damn game. You would think I would be good at it. At least my name isn't Weekend. Oh and Opt, sorry about your ass.

You just can't stop talking about ---my bottom---.

All I want to know is if it looks better than Caps ass in Endgame.

Malenko · « **Reply #656 on:** May 06, 2019, 08:13:27 am »

As far as I'm concerned that's Canada's ass.

Anyone on the fence about attending this event, do yourself a favor and GO.

Any hesitation or apprehension I had melted within the first few minutes with TTC setting the tone, quickly followed up by the supporting cast of characters. Everyone is a pleasure to chat with, and I can assure you there’s no ---uvulas--- here. People were friendly, insightful, and for a noob like me HELPFUL. No one minded getting cornered for some tech talk. In fact they continued to offer advice, and assistance, with Malenko even offering to send me a PCB.

This is a great set of people and a fun event, go see for yourself.

Was there any foosball?

There was a bubble Chexx hockey table, but one of the players got broken on the first day.

If having foosball is what it takes to get you out here, I’ll make it happen.

yotsuya · « **Reply #660 on:** May 06, 2019, 02:38:05 pm »

Finally got my ---Bad words, bad words, whatcha gonna do? Whatcha gonna do when saint censors you?--- tacos...

yotsuya · « **Reply #661 on:** May 06, 2019, 02:57:31 pm »

Found this in the backseat of my car.

This is the answer to the question, how can you tell you gave Jawhn a ride to StarFighters arcade the night before...

pbj · « **Reply #662 on:** May 06, 2019, 02:59:11 pm »

Decent jewelry store with regional stuff in terminal B if you didn't buy any merch and decide to purchase some atonement.

nexusmtz · « **Reply #663 on:** May 06, 2019, 03:25:36 pm »

Thank you, everyone, for the best Zapcon yet! I really appreciate the time we spent together talking, laughing, and just hanging out. Oh, and there were games!

I'd give you all my loudest WOOT!, but Ond is probably still recovering from the screamer he had to survive Saturday night. Instead I'll just say thanks again, especially for all that you did and gave throughout the weekend.

Only 18 hours before I get home. Maybe I have time for one more taco!

Ond. I didn't know you were going to Tempe. 4 peaks brewery is there. You could have grabbed some more Kilt Lifter.

Ond · « **Reply #666 on:** May 06, 2019, 04:47:42 pm »

I don't need my kilt lifted right now, I need tacos!

No problem, my friend!

Sitting here overseeing load out. Throwing one back for you guys...

Mike A · « **Reply #670 on:** May 06, 2019, 05:29:43 pm »

They should just give that cab to Opt. He owns that game.

Howard_Casto · « **Reply #671 on:** May 06, 2019, 05:39:46 pm »

He's a better man than me then. I suck at robotron so bad it's not even funny.

opt2not · « **Reply #672 on:** May 06, 2019, 06:39:10 pm »

Thanks guys, you’re too kind.
Shoot, I’d take a full-sized Robotron. I was really liking the one I was playing on there. The sticks were original and felt nicely worked in. It’s a slightly different experience on the full upright, compared to the cabaret. I like the bigger screen.

Ond · « **Reply #673 on:** May 06, 2019, 06:45:30 pm »

Special thanks to nexusmtz for a 'Wicked' night out, it was excellent!

To TacoTownCharlie for being just a great dude, carting us around and feeding me beer.

To yotsuya for his hard work, ZapCon ambassador and being a bro.

Cheers fellas.

opt2not · « **Reply #674 on:** May 06, 2019, 07:08:56 pm »

Yes, special shout-out to nexusmtz for being a pretty chill, friendly guy, and buying me a celebratory 10-million Robotron High Score lunch! Thank you, friend!

Also, props to Arroyo for challenging me to many games and losing in glorious fashion. You built up my confidence to throw-up that 10-mill score.

Arroyo · « **Reply #675 on:** May 06, 2019, 07:12:07 pm »

Opt, you are too damn good at gamin.

Mike A · « **Reply #676 on:** May 06, 2019, 07:13:47 pm »

Arroyo tried to teach me Street Fighter beyond just button mashing.

Lol well I do play A LOT of games.

It was great kickin’ it with you though. Good times!

Malenko · « **Reply #678 on:** May 06, 2019, 07:16:18 pm »

I was undefeated against opt, played cyberball.....

I had a super pro on my team, he had a newb on his lol.

I gotta give a retroactive shout out to neph for teaching me some pinball the last time I went to zapcon. I wouldn't be as extra average at silverball!

Mike A · « **Reply #679 on:** May 06, 2019, 07:17:16 pm »

That's because the balls are the wrong color.
