  • Yeah, owning a MAME cab only leads to owning real ones. MAME just isn't good enough. It's a gateway drug.

Damn Friday the 13th!!!
« on: June 13, 2008, 10:14:46 pm »
Anyone have a bad Friday the 13th?

I was just playing my cabinet and it started freaking out. I clicked on the MAME directory and it told me it was either missing or corrupt. I tried another folder that was just working and it said the same thing.

So I reset it....and it said "Error loading operating system"

Son of a ---smurfin---' ---smurfette---!  :angry:  :timebomb:  :hissy:  :cry:  :banghead:

I ain't messin' with it tonight.

Bad day for anyone else?

While at work today I went to grab a plastic bag for a customer and missed. I ended up getting a splinter under my fingernail, and bent half of my fingernail backwards... :'( :'(


And yes, it ---smurfing--- hurt!

While I was washing dishes a creepy guy wearing a hockey mask and wielding a mask popped up in front of the window; scared the crap out of me.  Anyway, he smashed into my place and slaughtered my family.  I barely escaped.

edit: heh, ax.  He had an ax.

Had a really TOP day.  Friday the 13th is my lucky day.  I didn't gamble in the casinos, which makes me even luckier!!!!   :applaud:

Sorry to hear that you guys had a lousy day.  You need to keep your attention to what you are doing, and you will have few accidents.  ;D

Shmokes: Really?  Think of the peace and quiet you will get to study now.  Lucky you!  :laugh2:
If I had only one wish, it would be for three more wishes.

Funny enough i had a bad day (and usually i have fantastic days on friday the 13th)

My dad got pulled over in my car they thought it was me

The cop told him my licence was expired and my dad rang me

I look at my card and sure enough its expired but i never got anything in the mail so i ring up Vic roads (DMV)

They said they got the mail back as a invalid address (i don't live there blah blah) but i'm still living at the place i grew up in so she checks and sure enough 4 months AFTER the mail was sent did they get it returned which means some ass at the post office lost it (got stuck in the bottom of the mailbag etc) and instead of delivering it cause it was so late they sent it back to Vicroads and there system took me off their list.

Now it's friday and because it's been past 6 months i have to go to Vicroads instead of getting the post office to do it.

Anyway after spending a lot of time at Vicroads i end up walking out with a $120 dent in my wallet and the most horrible picture ever took.

No joke cause i wasn't meaning to get a photo taken i looked crap from working hard all day and not having shaven and to top it off their camera is so crap i came out orange and the lady just took the picture without warning

So now i have a new licence with a picture of me looking like a mexcian rapist  :banghead:
