A Sickness...
« on: February 19, 2009, 04:20:43 pm »
I am sick.  Truly sick.  I've been bitching and moaning about "lack of space".   I am out of room!!! ARGH...

...and now it seems I just MAY have my Star Wars upright and Asteroids Deluxe upright sold...















...and I am planning on buying a freakin' BATTLEZONE now that I have a little space!?!?


I am sick,  man I tell ya.... sick.

I know I will have to let go a couple...that makes me sick.

I (along with many others on here) think back to your first bitchy rant whenever you mention getting a new game.

 :'( ... it seems only yesterday that Frizz was using shelf-paper for CPOs and MAIMing(*) classic cocktails ... where does the time go ?

(*) - To be fair, that DigDug *was* gutted.

I am not out of room yet, but also haven't acquired much in the past couple of years. Need to get some projects finished (well, finished 'enough') before I'll bring anything else in.  :-\

...and amazingly enough the shelf paper still holds strong and yes,  it was gutted!  Still doesn't make it right.  I was young... and dumb.

I plan on putting getting a laptop & putting a wifi printer in the "network" room (cable, phone, modem & etc area in unfinished basement partition) & turning my office into a dedicated pinball area.

The girl is not supportive, she too says I am sick......I say all is well.

Excuse me, I must read my gameroom magazine now.

I'm still in the 'accumulating parts' phase....of which takes all my extra room, of which won't be enough to fit the actual cabs if/when built. So I'm thinking of just getting rid of a bunch of it. However.....I do notice this sort of dual personality about: "ah, space....oh, what will I put there, next?...what would I do with it, anyway, might as well put some ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- there....Geeeez".
