    I bought a house!! (Building a game room)

    Nothing in that wall at all, it was built over the tiles even. Contractor will have a quote at end of the week. Hopefully I can greenlight everything. I close on feb 28, they'll start work right away on everything. I'll stay in my current place till end of March, but will start moving in as...

    I bought a house!! (Building a game room)

    I'm too lazy to vacuum carpet, plus I'd go nuts with all the topl slobs spilling beer and doritos all over my floor :lol:

    I bought a house!! (Building a game room)

    Visited the house with the contractor today. Attached is the video walk through, the official "before" :-). The bedroom wall is not load bearing, it is an easy removal. The floor will get some repair to the tiles, but nothing major. I was not planning to remove the counter at this time, but the...

    Anti-Game Request (anti-cheat sheet) Thread

    I find my brain just doesn't retain those types of details on games, nor do I play that way. Adam showed me the TOM exploit on my machine when I owned it, but I honestly never played a single game that way even afterwards. I realize that means I will never be a super competitive player and be...

    I bought a house!! (Building a game room)

    Contractor is coming in tomorrow for the quote, we'll figure out what the wish list will cost and then whittle it down to reality. My desire is that the wall will come down now. The basement is otherwise finished, so we're talking wall removal, floor repair, paint for entire room, electrical...

    New Years resolutions?

    I started this goal 6 months ago, but it will happen in 2014, which is to be "fit by 40". My 40th will be Oct 1, 2014. I've lost about 12 pounds so far from exercise and eating better. Would like to lose another 20 or so, and hopefully keep it that way. The weight loss has been gradual but its...

    Zidware announces "ALICE IN WONDERLAND"!

    As a RAZA buyer I'm not thrilled that he's taking money and orders on game 3 when the first 2 aren't completed, and from what we know aren't even close with no completion date even on the table. At least Jersey Jack had WOZ prototypes out there when the Hobbit offer came up. I would have...

    The Dude is coming

    Final charge on my CC was a little higher than the initial pre-auth. So not quite a deal, but still a bit under $1k.

    The debate is almost moot since DP has been clear you can buy them when they are ready. I wish they hadn't taken pre-orders now because that has polluted the discussion when we could otherwise be excited about a TBL one day actually existing.

    The Dude is coming

    A side note... Canadians are getting a bit of a break on price apparently. I was charged in euros, the conversion to my CC came to $932 for the first $1k payment. If the exchange keeps the same, that would mean getting the game for $7922 CAN (+taxes and shipping). If they charged us US $...

    The Dude is coming

    Here is a crazy story.... I've been wanting to diversify my business interests, and finding new businesses to invest in. I've spent a lot of time thinking on where money is to be made with pinball. I actually considered approaching pinball designers about a TBL, and even staking the license...

    The Dude is coming

    I am glad they didn't go down the "false scarcity" route of a limited run. So people have a choice. I'm really tired of that trick. I threw my money down to crowd fund them and show support, this is too niche a title, it will never be a huge seller no matter what.

    The Dude is coming

    Dream theme for me, considered doing a custom pin, so, for $1k I've put my deposit down. Will re-evaluate at each instalment. I do think that they "get" TBL, the potential is there.

    definitely the best marketing of any pinball machine, so I hope that translates to competent execution of the actual machine.

    today is the big day. I'm going to be gutted if this is anything less than the reveal of an actual pinball machine.
