I just typed the longest message and accidentally pressed delete and lost it!!! So here it goes again!!!!
I
am alive, maybe getting a room would have been a better idea than driving back to Essex at midnight!
But she wanted to drive back that night, so we had our own bed so....??
go figure!
Normally you can't shut me up, I think it takes me 3-5 times before I really chat sh*t to everyone and anyone, but I will then just not shut up.
Normally though, I feel quite clever in a room full of people, however felt somewhat inadequate among you guys, in the middle of a deep conversation about modern advancements in micro processor technology, I didn't want to be the one who shouted out..."I LIKE VIDEO GAMES ME!!!" so I just shut up and listened
( We weren't really talking about micro processors)
But seriously my mere 125-ish IQ (or whatever it was on some internet test
) felt very dumb!
Thanks Rav for opening up your world to us, that Half Life 2 cab is the coolest modern cab I've ever seen, and I don't think I'll see another outside of Japan which makes it even cooler.
Your a gent for letting us into your Aladdin's cave.
My Mrs (girlfriend) did have fun, she got to finish her book (which she's been meaning to do for ages) whilst I ran around like......err....me in an arcade?
She loved playing Panic Park against me and I think she would like that next to our Point Blank cab, + she loved all the stories including people getting shot in the leg
and just how funny you all are!
She's a good girl really and is happy as long as I'm happy (which is very rare in a female)
OK she struggles with pure arcade as although she's a Point blank and Puzzle Bobble girl the arcade rabbit hole doesn't go as deep for her as it does for me.
Mr Andy C sir, good to see ya again, thanks so much for my A.P.B board, your right that is a ultra, ultra clean board set, haven't tried it yet, that's a job for this weekend, even if there is anything wrong with it I will still have 3 sets in total so I'm sure a perfect set can be made, cheers dude.
(I do want that monitor you have at some point if that's kewl?)
I loved Half Life 2 and wanted to sit there and play story mode for hours but felt like I was hogging it, Disc's of Tron "environmental" is so good, I never thought I'd get a chance to play on one of those ever again.
Love Scramble in that real American cab, and your Mr Do! cab is to die for.
I never got to play on Hard Drivin'
I forgot to ask later!!!
Damn it!!
Tim, thank you so much for those boards, I now have loads of spare logic chips, proms etc... thanks to you! (Most kind Sir) it was good to meet you and Christie (is that how you spell her name?
)
I'm looking forward to repairing and learning some more, Aero Fighters boots and runs with sound, just no foreground sprites, maybe beyond me though as I see the odd surface mount/custom on there.
World cup 90 booty in there working!!! - You legend I love that crap*y old game! (For the memories not the quality of the game!) cheers dude, how did you know
??
Kdoe you are funny and made me laugh all day, as did all of you, Tim, Rav and Andy C bounce off each other all day ripping the pis* which kept my Mrs entertained if the topic did go a bit too arcadee for her.
DanP good to finally meet you, sorry if you were at the last meet and I didn't say hello?? I was just finding my feet, nice to see another Essex bod there and very good to talk to you.
Setch I was well impressed with your Outrun2 hookup skills, very clever I liked that, and learning that in fact that I could have a Crazy taxi cab and play Outrun 2 on it as well!
Ade you are so good at Star Wars, I've never seen anything like it, you do have skills dude.
Sorry I couldn't stay later for the after party, I wish I had taken Monday off work so I could have stayed down longer, the beer and meal in that pub was very nice.
Your
all welcome in my neck of the woods and if your passing though or staying nearby, seriously come and say hello, we would love to see ya! I have a humble arcade which could keep you going for a bit.
Sorry for the long oscar speech...."and I'd like to thank my manager...."
Cheers Rav for letting us meet up and swap stuff (oooo err
) you know what I mean!
Thanks all!
Ta,
Sir Gaylord Paul (as known by our postman now!)
