If you ever got 15 mintues in the spot light (national tv, radio, etc...), what would you say?

I would tell everyone to put all their pets away while someone is working at your house. Not outside, not on your lap; put the pet somewhere the technician won't be working.

Also, I would tell everyone to stay out of the fast lane unless you are prepared to go at least 10 miles over the speed limit.

Oh yea, I would also tell all the craigslist idiots that their games aren't worth half of what they are asking.

Last one...for now, if you can't afford to tip, then don't go out to eat, becasue tipping isn't just a city in China.

What whould you say with your 15 minutes?
 
I would tell everyone to make sure they post things in the correct section.
 
Found something else today that I forgot.

I would, also, tell all the bike riders/ cyclists to ride on the f-ing sidewalks. Stay off the f-ing street unless you want to die underneath a vehicle that bad.

They say they ride on the street, because people on the sidewalk get in their way. Well what the fuck do you think you are doing to people driving on the road. That's right you're getting in the way, you D-bag. It would be like me asking a train to share the tracks.


More to come..I'm sure

Yeah, especially if you drive a prius,it wasn't invented to drive 45 miles per hour in the fastlane?
 
I would dress up as a zombie and tell everyone I liked turtles, with a cute "deer in the headlights" look.
 
I would give a 15 minute lecture on how stupid the idea of 15 minutes of fame is. As if fame is something to aspire to. It's fine if your famous. But fame is not the measure of a soul. Just because a bunch of people know who you are does not make you any more specilal than anyone else.
 
I would tell everyone that next a$$hole that parts out a classic to mame, 60-1, or just to make money will be visited by someone dressed as Donkey Kong and be severely beaten with a monitor discharging tool. After the beatdown said person will have a 4" trackball stuffed up their ass. Any questions? ;)

yea....one Q.....why is the game they change out for profit your business?

If they own that machine, and want to turn it into a coffee table, who are you to have issue?

Im just curious...dont want to be rude or fight with you...just wondering why what somone else does with what they own, why that bothers YOU.....

Ya know..not everyone is a collector. There are some people out there who cant fit all the classics you can, so they want a MAME or 60in1...

these people may want these games in a classic cabinet, and they will spend $1500 on it..

if there was no buyer, and no audience for it, there wouldnt be anyone selling it, like polaroid cameras...ya know?

Im just trying to understand this issue...
thnx

Where o where do I begin?

You must have reading comprehesion issues like me.

People are free to do what they want with their stuff, but that does not mean I have to like the destruction of a classic game. There are plenty of options out there with generic cabinets and repro art that you can have a classic look to a cab with a 60-1 in it.

You fail to realize that it pisses people off if you gut a nice classic to multi or mame it, because you are too lazy to find a generic cab.

These games and parts are becoming harder and harder to find and maintain as the years pass. This is an arcade preservation site not part out and destroy site.

So because there is a demand for this it is ok right?

There is a demand for crack too.Why don't you go sell that?
 
As long as you feel your right.

I understand it pisses people off, what others do with there games, but its sad. BOTTOM LINE.

To compare crack and games...clever.

I must have comprehension issues, and everyone i know who thinks your sentiments are wrong.

I understand some dont like it, ..but it isnt there business. If i want to buyclassic cars, and convert the engines to something BIGGER and better, its my right.

If someone wants to buy those original parts off me, to make THEIR classic car more original, ok....

THose parts will come in handy still, to another car or arcade that needs the parts.

Your right. There are ways to take a piece of shit black jamma cab and make it a 60 in 1 or mame,.sure...

but not everyone wants that cab. You think your the only ones who want an original cab?

My multi buyers like the cabs to be of a game ON THE 60in1......its their perference.

SHould i start telling them " i cant do this anymore...people at KLOV, the true collectors dont like it...im sorry"...?....

I get cabs that dont work as original. the PAC MAN may have bad power supply and bad pcb.

The cheaper route would be to convert....its my right..it makes most sense.

Im sorry "it pisses people off"......but its all about YOU isnt it...

YES. Bottom line. YES. You admit, PEOPLE ARE FREE TO DO WHAT THEY WANT WITH THEIR STUFF...

No need to go on any further sport.
