Ah quit defending him and let people get upset about it.  Sheesh, it's a Pac-Man cabinet, it's supposed to have a little special place in our hearts.  Take your logic out of it and get fired up like the rest of us, damnit!  :P

There are two games I flat-out hate, and they're Pac Man and Crystal Castles. They should all be thrown off the roof. If they threw them off the roof onto a row of mint conditions Mappy's, that'd be OK too. ;D

You're missing the point. It's not a question of being desensitized, or owning lots of games. The Ms Pac he smashed was WORTHLESS. Even among collectors here (southern Ontario) many project cabs have been offered up for free with NO TAKERS. After months of frustration, the owners just smashed them up (one guy burned a cab) cuz they needed to get rid of them. If you can't even GIVE something away, what else can you do?!

I think I get it, I just never been offered a free cab, or seen a totally "worthless" cab (although I heard they exist).  I do live in Indiana, which may have something to do with it.  Nobody offers up free cabs here (that I'm aware of).  I guess maybe if I had seen more of it, it would't be so shocking.     :o

Also I've only been building/restoring cabs for about 6 months, and can't seem to find/afford the things I want (including a cab).   :hissy:

But, If I had the inventory/crap that guy has, I might try something flashy like that to get attention/marketing, if I had to make space.

Plus, I showed the video to my wife, and she said I should do the same thing to my current (10% done) project (she's so supportive)  :soapbox:

wow. I never saw this video. But I have met the guy before.... I'll tell you guys what. GO there and actually talk to the guy and you'll see why he did what he did. He gave me 4 free cabinets. I wish I could make it sound worst and say they were empty, but he put in extra stuff just for no reason. He has to get rid of a certain amount of things every year. I guess it's easier to get rid of things by throwing them off of buildings. I thought it was awsome. Mainly cause I hate Ms Pac-Man. :)

She'd probably let me.....we have 4 kids, 3 are toddlers.....we've decided the only reasonn we don't kill one another is because the one left alive would have to take the kids.  ::)

kinda strange type of "insurance", but it keeps her from cutting my brake lines or something... :cheers:
