Unfortunately, they already have one.

I think they next game I'm going to sell is Commando, simply because it's like 99% there (need to fix 1 button).

Your Commando is a gorgeous Commando. I would be happy to play the role of the guy you're supposed to ask permission from before you marry a person. Cos it would like be weird if a person arranged to buy it from you and THEN had to list all their good qualities as a provider, and mention dong length.

So, I took a photo of Gauntlet II when it showed up. Flack and I were going to do a "Spicy Blog Sandwich" sort of thing, which is the kind of inter-website blog post that involves two blogs of different races banging each other.

I wanted to give you all an update, as it's clear I have not held up my part of the bargain. My blog got scared and is now crying in the arms of a co-worker.

I'm waiting for an RGB cable to arrive. When that happens, I'll finish the blog entry and we can all forget this ever happened.

I'd like to also start discussing the finer points of Flack's Commando. It's fucking CHERRY.

I paid more than I wanted to for that Commando machine ($250), mostly because it was complete and also because the seller told me that he had $250 into it and if it didn't sell for $250 that weekend he was going to convert the machine to a 48-in-1 and sell it for $1,000.

I have no idea if he was really going to do that, but what can I say -- the guy knows how to press my buttons. :)

With tax and/or auction fees I've had a few games surpass the $300, but by and large most of my games cost me $250 and less (and don't kid yourself; it shows) and several around the $100 mark (and don't kid yourself; it shows).

I have this theory that I've never really conveyed or written down but ... I think every game has a "sweet spot" at which point it would be perfect, like maybe $750 or even $1,000, somewhere around there. So my theory is that you can either spend $1k on a game, or you can spend less than that and then, if you're into fixing and restoring games, slowly work your way back up to that total number. And some people (like me) learn to live with not repairing things like side art or marquee lights (or joysticks and buttons) and end up investing less. So it's not that I get better deals than other people, it's that I buy stuff in worse condition and then learn to live with it, haha.
