I’m never leaving my house ever again. =l
Namco stick? You mean one for a home system? I’d imagine a replacement PCB would be nearly as expensive as a whole new stick…
I haven’t messed with that in particular, but I imagine it wouldn’t be too difficult.
I successfully triple perfected an Eddie player! All I had to do was put my money in the machine and pick Chipp. Then he got up and walked out of the game center. Damn I’m good.
Yosh why are all Japanese TV shows about cooking and men trying their hardest to disguise themselves as women?
I’m not sure if this is better or worse than all American shows that are about has-been music stars using TV networks as dating services
then again, I wouldn’t complain about either :3

This guy is hellbent on getting a gig at an arcade, at least until he finds a real job. Any chance you guys want to let him know what to expect, or should he find out the joy on his own?
I think he should go for it actually. It’s fun, it’s more fun in hindsight than in real time though 
Speaking of arcades, have you guys seen this place that’s opening up soon over by the Nifong Wal-Mart? It’s seriously called “The Game Room Store.” It looks like it’s gonna be a pool hall, but they had I think five pinball machines, Pirates of the Caribbean and Spiderman for new Stern shit and uhh… Monster Bash or whatever it’s called and two other Midway games. They also had a bigass Stern crate sitting in the storefront, I don’t know if it was from one of the Stern machines or if it was one they hadn’t opened yet. I don’t know my pinball well at all but it looked pretty nice.
They also had a lot of arcade games… and they were all sports games. Oh well.
When ever I go to my friends house, I should get some games of Brawl with you guys, since my parents won’t let me meet you in real life.
I feel you, it’s kind of a drag being a fighting gamer with strict parents. Mine were kind of the same way.
They get over it eventually
At least I can convince them to let me buy arcade sticks, and if they are cheap enough, like my namco, have them give it to me as a gift for good grades. =)
Like I have all A’s, except for art and writing which have A-'s, and I’m invited to honors math for Jr. High. I’m not sure if I should be happy, or think that I’m a geek. =l
Well, I managed to get a job because the Assistant Manager was my best friend’s (of about 10 years at that point) mother… That kind of thing happens when the arcade staff is a total of six people… ^_^;;
Hoever, I earned my promotions, starting out as a carousel jockey (We had a large carousel similar to the one in Columbia Mall’s food court), and was next in line to be Manager by the time the place closed down.
As far as “what to expect”…? Well, if you manage to get a job like that, keep in mind that the #1 thing to do is actually do the job. As long as you’re doing a good job, you can get away with murder in an arcade. I have no clue how much stuff I took from the redemption counter and the claw machines, or how many thousands upon thousands of dollars worth of free games I played after hours (after the cleaning and such was done, of course)…
I still wish I could get an arcade started here, the upcoming summer break would be the perfect time for a grand opening… ~_~
As an aside, who here goes to Columbia College?
^ Well if you work at an arcade you can teach random Tetris players how to play 3s, then get them interested in fighters. =P
Has nothing to do with me. >.>
Hahahah.
Well I guess Brawl is my new “business game” until I leave for study abroad (assuming I get accepted/can afford it, which isn’t necessarily a safe assumption). I doubt I’ll really have time to play GG/3S all that often this semester, which I’m sure won’t stop me from playing but the point is I shouldn’t.
Bad name. Sounds like they’re getting “new” pins. The one in a stern crate does sound like a Brand new pin. The other ones could be slightly used. Monster’s Bash is in my top 5 pins of all time. You might like that one Andrew. Dracula is a guitarist in a band of all the monsters. All the sports games MIGHT be from TK Bros. ??? Good find Andrew. Billiards should be opening soon. Maybe one (or both) of these places could get SF4?:woot:
Typhin - Do you wanna get some games in some time? Talk arcade shit? If so, send me a pm w/ your #.
Wait, you ant be happy about being a nerd. I think I messed up somewhere:shake:.
fuzzy_snugs-What highschool will you be going to? If you end up going to hickman you might just end up seeing me.
My sister is in Rock Bridge, so I assume that I’m also going to be going there also.
BTW, according to Klaige Shekeib got second in 3S (to J-Wo) and Shohaib got fourth
Too gooooooood
GOOOOOOD SHIT!!! Man… now i know why i was losing so much. Good shit guys.
You know why working at an arcade is better than working in the real world? Free soda.
/thread
But for serious, if you want to work a service job, it’s all the same. Do what you’re asked to do, don’t bitch about it unless everyone else is bitching about it, and volunteer to do the easy stuff when it comes up.
Oh, and Diddy Kong is srs bsns.
fuck I’m tired, but I made some improvements over the weekend despite a lackluster tourney performance.
Josh, I got one or two Axl shenanigans you might be interested in whenever you got some time.
Also, Diddy is hella serious but you can’t stop Waddle Dee!
So, haven’t looked into it yet, how do I get my friend code? I could look elsewhere, but killing the day trolling forums here, so might as well ask.
Also, Fuzzy (or anyone, for that matter) how the hell do you work throws into your game? I’m hemma leet at “oh gawd, I’m getting hit, block, shit, block, shit, okay finally a roll, godammit I whiffed the throw, there’s the smash tearing up my ass”.
And if and when a throw hits, what do you do? I generally just hold the other guys junk like I’m at a 60’s party. We look soulfully into one another’s eyes, and then the throw breaks and my shit gets wrecked.
Also, I lost my phone. And by lost I mean broke on the side of McNally’s. But games would be good, so I could stop being terribad and getting beat by scrubs (AKA Pat).
