Title: Damn you guys!
Post by: Oils on February 12, 2006, 07:38:14 pm
I've no idea how I stumbled onto this site, might have been google, but I've been reading it and these boards solidly for over a week now, not getting much work done either!

I originally was trying to source a TMNT Arcade machine to buy but somehow arrived here and haven't left and I've suddenley gotten this strange urge to build a cabinet.

So I'm thanking you all for this wonderful site and also damning you all at the same time for making this hobby too enticing to pass up!

I'm sure I'll be chatting with you all soon.

We are the BORG (Build Own Recreation Game). Resistance is futile.

Cripes! I'm assimilated.

I will build one though mr.c

Looking for parts in Australia at the moment. Some threads on these boards seem to point me in the right direction for bits and pieces. I'll try and buy all the bits I want here in Aussie land, Bones seems to have done well and OzStick is not far away from here!

Hey, there is an Australian based arcade site.  This goes against my helping Australian rules, but you seem okay so far. ;D

That's how Bones and Bozxc started out, and now look at 'em.  Back porches are soiled across the land, the elderly and girthy female population are looking over their shoulders.....nothing good can come of this ;)

You are totally correct, but someone has to get this fella off on the right foot.  There is another place where the Aussies get together and talk:

Good for McCoy for trying to guide this poor unfortunate fellow away from their bad influences. Of course McCoy is hardly any better... ;)
