Solomon Grundy Hate Ed McMahon!
SO, all kindsa things going on in life recently.
Stephen beat my ass at Heroclix the other day with a cheap ass Superman (another reason to hate Supes) but I've got a surprise for him next time ;-) (Oh No! Superman isnt stronger than the Blender!)
So, We aren't 100% sure, but about 99% that we've bought a house.
Its in Middletown, but its really nice inside and out.
Housing has gone down because of AK being bastards (I think its more the workers faults, but what do I know?) So we got a pretty good deal on it.
And no, steve, it doesnt really have anything for a backyard.
It DOES have a 2 car garage, so I'll have a place for my arcade machine (and any future ones I decide to restore/build) cause I'm just gonna park my car in the driveway and have some storage in the garage. Finally get a workbench for my computers O_o Put the mini-fridge out there and host some LANs - oooooh, just realized I can put the 'theatre' in there. I think my brother is supposed to be giving me his Klipsch Surround (one that works this time) and maybe even his Alienware. He's going back to the Army, i think on tuesday the 22nd.r
I really want to get a Cocktail, two more standups and a sitdown arcade cabinet, but I'd only want the cocktail (those are the ones that look like tables, I havent played many, but I know theres a PacMan/Galaga Cocktail at Gameworks) if Holly lets me put it IN the house :-P ya know, like a table! - In Other words, I guess I can cross cocktail off the list. Wait... I want another standup for Golden Tee / Bowling...
Anyway!
It should be good times.
I cant wait to start playing my bass again - I miss it so much. Haha, I was listening to our Talent show performance, GD that was a good time, and GD were our voices off key ;-)
I still have a starter Washburn Electric Guitar for sale, I really want an Acoustic.
Helped Frank pick out his laptop yesterday morning. Damn, for as cheap as that bugger was, I was pretty impressed! It got a 2200 on the FFXI Benchmark. its on sale at Compusa right now for 500$ (after 30$ rebate). VERY nice for a first laptop.
My birthday is the end of the month, and Holly got me the Keywiz Max 1.5 I wanted so I can get closer than ever to finishing the arcade, because of the KWM1.5 Ive got the left player completely installed (yea, it was before, but it was conditional - that was the worst soldering job ive ever done, the 4th button didnt like working and the coin door didnt work at all - and the interface didnt have the room for a second player.) Now Ive gotta fill all the holes, both wood AND metal. Sand it, get some new T-Molding, drill the control panels right side controls, i have to FIND the control panel overlay I want (imagine pleather contact paper or the covering on an AMP) and then paint the machine, Ive opted to not bother Sheik with painting the machine because 1- Hes not really around anymore 2- itll be more "I did this!" if I do it and 3- Ive really got a concept I like that would just be easier for everyone for me to do myself. I would, If it should ever happen, want The Sheikster to paint up the arcade. Much like that Palace Mural he did, covering the entire inside of that place with art. But for now, Im broke, and quite frankly, I dont have an arcade to paint :-P
I think everyone should play Final Fantasy 9 - what a good one that was! It gets SO overlooked by 6 7 and 10
lalala! I cant think of anything else! so time to post this monster of a post!
