Noice! What games? Didn't know you had cabs.

Whaaa? Haha yeah this confused Robb at bit too at one time.

So, I have 4 complete game cabinets in my house, some of which I put a LOT of work into, and a good size collection of boards to numerous games.

I also have a friend who runs a private biz of sorts where you pay him 15$ to warp back to 1983 for 3 hours. There are usually between 85-100 games there running at at time between a basement and 2 connecting rooms.. and not one of those machines was made after the year 1983.

I'll share some new pics again soon but basically think of damn near any game from 79-83 and my friend Scott has it.

In my small ranch-style house I have a bedroom with hardwood floors and connected bathroom I converted to an arcade room because I'm divorced with no kids lol. The 4 cabinets I currently have had running for quite some time are:

- SNK "Neo Geo MVS-2"
- Taito "Double Dragon" (running an ArPiCade board to run mad MAME ROMs, but also runs real DD board and other boards on a whim)
- Midway "Bosconian"
- Midway "Ms Pac-man" cocktail style cabinet (original board with custom ROM chipset that allows me to play Pac-Man, Ms-Pac, or Pac-plus at normal or fast hack speeds and the game "Pengo". Also saves high scores)

A demo that actually has a message!

When Splinter Cell first came out I was all into being a sneaky bastard and timing my movements just right. Nowdays I just dont have the patience anymore. I'm playing Hitman 2, which is a superior game, and all I want to do is turn on god mode and blast anything that moves in order to get through it. It's not even fun.

Spent like 3 hours figure out wtf was going on with my NES Everdrive cartridge when all I wanted to play this new Super Mario 3 Adventure ROM hack.

#1 My Firmware was way outdated.
#2 My SD Card was about to die. Thank fuck I had sense to copy all from it before destroying things. Because of this I didn't have to re-download ROMS and retained my and my GF's saves for Dragon Warrior II, Final Fantasy, and couple others.

The new game is awesome so far! Also glad to get my shit finally up to date. I perhaps should try to make my own ROM hack for NES or new game for VECTREX one day considering I have awesome carts for both and there actually seems to be some money in it again these days.

The "Almost final KISS TOUR version" of Duck Slide will be out by Xmas so might as well if I can make some progress with it.

Had a zipper replaced in one of my sweatshirts. It was only a few years old and a nice heavy fabric. For the price I paid I could have just bought a whole new sweatshirt. But the $45 went to a local seamstress, not a big corporate business like Champion or...a big corporate business.

I bought an electric mousetrap by Victor today. Instead of the snap of a spring loaded wire it sends massive volts through the mouse.

I'm calling it Moushwitz. Should I put a particular symbol on the outside with a red paint marker?

THE

Maybe a symbol of Mickey Mouse ears with a lightning bolt between them?

There's always “Arbeit macht frei” (work will set you free), the motto of the famous Dachau Amusement Park err I mean Concentration Camp. Auschwitz' prisoners had mocked the sign with "Arbeit macht frei durch Krematorium Nummer drei" (Work makes you free - Through crematorium number three.)

THE
FIRST VICTIM
AARDVARK


Update: I should have called it The Green Mile. Thing is brutal! I heard it zapping the victim for a whole minute.

She knows she's being replaced by a machine and trying to be useful by listening for the pitter-patter of little feet

[Jizaboz]

Haha she looks just like the black cat at my house “Black Magic Cat” aside from she has all her legs! Black female cats don’t give two fucks and are commonly mean as shit. Awesome cats.

Black magic cat is also now known as “black Rabbit cat” now because of missing most of one of her front arms due to I dunno wtf she got into half a year ago. That shit was gruesome and I assumed she was gonna die but still here with the wound completely healed. Dad mentioned he’d pay for a vet bill to help her out and I was like “Oh I can pay the bill but she seems to be hopping around ok and the dude cats let her eat most the food.. but hey if you wanna try picking her up be my guest!” (She starts slashing hissing and biting if you even extend a hand towards her with food in it lol)

My grandmother had the exact same type cat I loved as a kid but she hissed and wouldn’t let me near her. There’s an old pic of me at like 3-4 years old sitting on the floor looking at her like “I tried to be friends, bitch..”

If I were truely evil I’d cut off that useless dangling foot as it’s a very powerful reagent. (Heh-heh)

Disclaimer: I am a feeder and tamer of feral (wild and mean as fuck) cats. I am not a cat “owner”. The cats I associate with were cast from human care long before I befriended them and it was obvious. I got the previous Black Magic litter adopted and such, and now just have 3 adult bum cats that live on my car port.

Her official name is Schrodinger, I call her Evil Bitch Cat or just kitty kitty. She's from barn cat stock so there's a feral aspect about her that Toonses never had. If she's hungry you never know if those claws and teeth are going to give you what for

I hope Stan Lee is making metric tons of money from the residuals of the Spidey Kids show on Disney. The grandson loves it and my brains are being melted!

I have taken to trying for a reasonable impression of Rhino in "Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends" and it is the first impression that has ever physically damaged my voice. My nephew will ask me to "be" Rhino and then state that I should not "stomp people" which is a really good set of morals to live by for anyone.

I read that Jason Alexander declined to do the Duckman video game because he said that doing Duckman was killing his voice and I thought he was just being a snob about video games. But I get it now. I GET IT GEORGE

Whoever IS voicing Rhino in real life for this show deserves an Audio Emmy.

[AArdvark]

Whoever writes the scripts deserves a lobotomy...no, sorry. That was mean of me. It's a Disney kid show, teaching all the morals and fair play that the kids will need so they can recognize it when the world pulls a reality check on them.

Ive been hinting for episodes of Sesame Street so he'll get more number and letter exposure but....not my kid

"25 pro-Palestinian protesters arrested after briefly stopping Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade"

Look, I support everything they are doing when it comes to Gaza, I just think their message would have been a little better received if they hadn't sucked down the helium first.

"NHL Player Ruptures Testicle After Taking Hockey Puck to the Groin"

I appreciate that the NHL is finally trying to improve marketing their sport, but they are about 15 years too late trying to do this tie-in with The Sopranos.
