I've got some chuff. Picked up 4 games this weekend. Actually, 3 of them were hand delivered by the sellers.

- Asteroids Deluxe - Plays but monitor needs a cap kit

- Space Duel - Doesn't turn on, missing glass, missing 1 speaker, cp is gross but I have a spare

- VS Super Mario Bros - Plays but has a hacked up wire harness inside. Monitor needs a cap kit. All around fugly machine. Not sure what to do with this machine. Might convert it.

- Mario Bros Wide Body - The one I'd really been waiting for. Very good cosmetic shape. Just needs a little exterior cleanup and some new artwork. One of my "must-haves"

Got a little carried away this weekend and spent some cash on all these. Not sure if I will keep them all but I'm apparently a sucker for projects.

If you added "I don't have money to come to ZapCon now...", I would have had 1iblind kick you in the balls on the way home.....

Nice score!

Thanks Yots! Don't worry, ZapCon has been budgeted. In fact, I'll be getting my shirt and admission tickets today I think.

And 1iblind was an awesome guy. He stuck around for about an hour and we drank a beer and traded some stories. Good times.

Yea, I've got enough stuff to keep me busy this summer that's for sure. (However, I might have to table these restores for one BYOAC project I've wanted to do for a long time)

And having a squeaky clean PCB is pretty nice isn't it?

Im still riding the chuff of booking my Zapcon trip. Traded that fugly Namco cab for some NeoGeo carts I didnt have.

I did start restoring my HS5 wanna-be Dynaclone cab; just not sure what Im doing with it.

That depends! We'll see when if there are any changes when I fire it up again.

You going to be able to do the Friday night meet up this year?

Slippyblade · « **Reply #50 on:** March 16, 2016, 02:49:58 pm »

Unfortunately, no. I just lost a few days at work from a wicked head cold. That means no I can't afford to take anything other than Sunday off. Already have Saturday off.

Come by my house some day that week and I'll give you your swag. That way you can have it on hand for Saturday.

Cheesesteak Thursday: Chipotle Chicken Edition

We go to the beach so much we decided we'd take a trip out to the hill country. San Antonio sure is dirty and small after you've lived in Houston for three years... Didn't feel compelled to stop on our way through at 80mph.

Anyway, nice place thus far. Panty slider for $150ish a night.

So chuffed... currently on my way to Los Angeles to see New Order.

Malenko · « **Reply #55 on:** March 19, 2016, 05:27:58 pm »

finally got my Cruisn USA all put back together, time to get some runs in on it before it gets traded away for my first pin!

I misplaced my comb so I was looking for another one in all my jacket pockets and found this:

I haven't worn this jacket for at least a year so it's basically free money.

I don't use illegal drugs, so you'll have to tell me.

(It's some fruit flavor infuser water bottle thing. I gave it away.)

I'll stick to ethanol and refined carbs, kthx.

I'd be a weed machine if it was legal in my state. I much preferred pot to booze back in the day.

It'll be nice once pot is federally legalized and all the people on drug-related charges can just be released. I don't even do drugs, nor do I ever intend to, but we live in a country where pot is illegal but cigarettes and alcohol, which are FAR more dangerous, are a-ok.

I could be the hippie that sells baked cookies and fudge in their totally organic shop... it'll be great.

Here's some good vacation chuff. My daughter and I played Super Monkey Ball Ticket Blitz. My wife couldn't get a good action shot but every time we started a level she would scream and laugh until the end.

Slippyblade · « **Reply #72 on:** March 29, 2016, 05:53:09 pm »

Love Monkey Ball on the console, disturbs me a little that it's a redemption game now. Nowhere near as bothered by that though as I am by Flappy Bird being an arcade game.

pbj · « **Reply #73 on:** March 31, 2016, 01:56:31 pm »

It dawned on me as I munched on free cookies and sipped free soda that I haven't prepared or paid for food since Saturday morning. It's been an interesting journey of lobster, ham, fancy white people tacos, cake, and 'gourmet' pizza. I'm unsure how I'm going to roll this into tomorrow but I'm determined to go a week.

pbj · « **Reply #74 on:** April 01, 2016, 10:31:33 am »

God help me there's donuts this morning. That's seven days in a row of free food.

Carpet is going in right now.. By the end of the day I should be able to say "Done."

At least until I get the next crazy idea...
