Title: Player One Generated!!!!
Post by: paigeoliver on July 17, 2012, 02:36:50 am
Just had my first child, Julie Lorie. She was 5 weeks premature, and thus got here before I finished the game graphics on her wall and the TMNT machine I was putting together for her and her cousins!

So far she mostly likes to sleep and eat, however I made her a special game step before she was even born, and soon she will be reaching for the controls like a pro.

Buy your shotgun now if you don't already have one.  You'll be cleaning it in front of a date before you know it.

A good friend of mine has four little girls within two years of each other (had first kid, about 10 months later had second kid, about 10 months later had twins).  I told him his odds of shooting a teenage boy in about 10 years is off the chart...   ;D

Congrats! Free time? Meh. You'll find it.

And it's much more interesting soldering up a control panel with her on the iron.  :)

Last I heard buckshot being fired down the barrel is not the best way to clean a gun.  :laugh2: (joking!)

Anyway, congrats!  ;D

I prefer angled control panels.....but never thought about it on a 4-player cab

Has it been done? Should it be done?

Also, congrats on the Baby-Makin skills  :cheers:

Since Paige is undoubtedly attending to his family ... I'll play his role in this response.

Where did you ever play on a panel with angled sticks ? (Cheffo: since there has only been one cabinet that anybody can point to with angled sticks)

It has been done once by professionals (see previous Cheffo note about it being done once), but done a number of times by amateurs and should not be done (see pretty much any post ever made by Paige or anybody who ever did this and then later discovered why it wasn't done in all-but-one cabinet).

Paige -- did I get that right ?

I hope that your angels are both doing well.
