just for clarity, i think paigeoliver is more upset about the poor representation of something he used to own.

I wasn't really trying to single one person out about the ROMS thing.  As for the cabinet, it's just like anything else you sell.  Once the deal is done they can turn it into a flaming turd if they wanted to.

just for clarity, i think paigeoliver is more upset about the poor representation of something he used to own.  like the fact that this guy states that it's a horizontal when the picture he shows makes it look vertical, as it once was.

i know others are making a bigger stink about the fact that he is selling roms with it, but that is their stink, not particularly paigeolivers. 

Yes, it was just the representation I had a problem with, they are representing it as a brand new machine and it is not. It was a project I did 3 years ago to see how could of a cab I could make for under $100. They supposedly replaced the computer in it since then, but it is not a new game.

I myself am often surprised at the internet's little quirks.  When Saint first brought Peale onboard he said, "Alright Peale, I've never had a moderator, you can try if you'd like.  I'll most likely kill you in the morning."  For three years he said that.  "Good night Peale, good work, sleep well, I'll most likely kill you in the morning.  It was a fine time for Peale -- he was learning to obsessively change his avatar, move threads to their appropriate forums, anything anyone would teach him.  Saint and he eventually became friends.  And then it happened.

Saint had grown so rich from the Google ads that he wanted to retire.  He took Peale into a chat room and told him his secret.  "I am not the Dread Admin Saint," he said.  "My name is John St. Clair.  I inherited this website from the previous Dread Admin Saint, just as you will inherit it from me.  The man I inherited it from was not the real Saint either -- his name was Cumberbun.  The real Saint has been retired 15 years and was living like a king in Patagonia."

Then he explained the name was the important thing for inspiring the necessary fear.  You see, no one would behave on the message boards for the Dread Admin Peale.  So they created the Avatar Fight thread and Peale attached Saint's name and avatar to his own.  Once the members of this message board believe, Saint will leave this website and Peale will be Saint ever afterwards, at least until he retires and hands the name over to someone else.

Is everything clear to you?

And I'm guessing I'm one of the few people here who know what book/movie that came from.

My wife has a c1983 (my guess) Cabbage Patch Kid doll that she gave to my daughter recently. I just noticed that the doll has a "birth certificate" from the factory naming it "Paige Olivia". :)
