Seeing as how no one’s posted in a while, I’ll tell you guys a story. Today I decided to get my masstick fixed and finally put back my PS2 cord. I called the place earlier to make sure that they were gonna be open, letting them know that I was leaving West Covina at about 5:15. They said they’d wait for me and I thought to myself “NICE!!” So I drive down there with my girlfriend thinking to myself “I’ll never make it there on time…$hit…”, after taking 35 minutes to get passed Edison field (damn Angels game), I finally get there at about 6:15 (after a U-turn or two).
And out comes this dude who I didn’t see the last 2 times I was there, and this dude actually spoke English to my astonishment…last time, only the lady did. The guy was Mr Mass himself, Thao Nguyen, and I was actually shocked thinking to myself…I thought the lady ran this joint (turns out to be his wife) I actually felt like I was in the presence of the most important man to all of the fighting game fanatics in the US. I kept thinking to myself, “it’s cuz of this dude, people actually get to practice at home using a real stick” (no offense to your agetec ace, I got one too :karate: )
Then he went on about his philosophies on life:
“Dooooooon’t get into credit card debt…you’ll see what I mean. I don’t carry aaaaaaaaaaaany credit cards with me…I pay everything CASH!! $100 VCR, CASH!! $200 thinger, CASH!!”
“What major are you??” ::points at my girlfriend::
“Communications” - girlfriend
"You know what you should do?? Learn a second language. Me?? I got 3 or 4…it’ll help you"
“You’re important, but not that important. I’ll please you as a customer enough to make sure I don’t piss off another customer. Same with wife, you can please them only to a certain point, but after that, scooo (screw) that.” (wife is 14 ft from him)
“What’s the problem with your stick??” - massman
"Well I can’t show you with this game, but it’s broken" - dude
"Well bring the game and show me" - massman
"I can’t, but it’s just broken" - dude
::tests stick on mortal kombat, works fine:: “works fine, goes up, down, left, RIGHT, START!!, SELECT!!!, ETC!! ETC!!! what are you doing wrong?” - massman
:xeye: - dude
“Me, I start this business waaaaaay back in the Nintendo days, almost 20 years. Everyone say I’m stupid, they say get a real job. Now, they’re all in debt.”
“I try to advertise my sticks, but I stopped. I can’t handle the work load. I can be here for 12 hours a day, 5 day s a week, and aaaaaaaaaaaalways have something to do.”
"One day I was looking at a magazine and I can’t believe it. One company, I saw, try to copy my sticks. They didn’t last long, they went out of business "
All in all, good advice to know, I guess. But after a while of listening to what we should do with our lives, the dude finally finished my stick, tested it, and hooked me up with a fresh paint job, all the while continuing how we should keep in mine that we should say “F@#$ you all!! This is my life!!” to everything around us and how we should trust his word. I left the place having a totally different “whoa” feeling I had when I first met him. Then I really started to book it when I saw an orange used condom next to what seemed to be his van. GGPO
Oh yeah, to Ace: $2.50 per button my friend.
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
