Just curious how cool other members families are.

As for me, I got a spinner that I gave to my wife to give me on Christmas.

Hey, you do what you gotta do to justify stuff, right?

Not directly arcade related, but wife gave me the Fossil Asteroids watch.

I got a Donkey Kong shirt and an Atari joystick keychain that actually plays Asteroids and Millipede. I'm so damn easy to buy for.

I got 2 "This Old Pinball DVDs"
Talk about high production values.

Great info and plenty of corn.

So will you only fill and operate the slurpee machine when you have a party planned? That is crazy....but BRILLIANT!!

Finally got some .984 coin mechs for my door. I have been using my crappy hacked $.25 mechs for a while.

So nice to not have to worry about the tokens getting rejected anymore.

I'm planning on keeping the machine on full time right now since I have at least 3-4 slurpees a day. Once it gets old on me then I'll probably only run it when I have a party.

It's not his fingers that go numb from the cold.

He said have, not drink.
