funny article on arcade machine playing stances
« on: July 10, 2006, 07:55:20 am »
Is "stances" a word ? anyway, its how you stand at the arcade machine (or sit).

Read this from the UK based "Way of The Rodent" website - I thought it was pretty funny (as it the entire WoTR site).

I'm more of a "Greg "The Trashman" Bond" style myself......

It looks like this year they combined the Arcade World Championship with the Bad Wardrobe World Championship. Gyruss guy wins, followed closely by Joust #3 guy and Too Many World Records to Mention Guy. If not for the last minute removal of Most Out Of Date Haircut World Championship, he would have won! A true champion.
