Ha, I ran into him a few times over the weekend, I was talking to him during the KLAX WR attempt (which was successful) He was busy so I asked him if he didn't mind taking a pic with me when he had time (at the request of my GF, she thought he was funny in King of Kong). And he was cool with it. So, we went to the Crystal Castles and he busted out the "GLOVE" for the pic. I actually talked to him for about an hour and half. He wanted to show me a "live demo" of his CC skills. The dude is seriously sick at that game. The whole time he was playing I was like WTF is he doing??? Then he asked me to play Food Fight with him. So I did and he kicked my ass all over the place, half the time he wasn't even touching the throw button to finish the level. He taught me some tricks. He's a pretty cool dude. Definitely a dedicated, genuine, arcade geek. He has a habit of flipping off the screen after he passes a level. That made me laugh. I saw him do that on KOK when he was playing CC with his foot. Funny shit!

I met him. He also called me after the Richie Knucklez event - to see if I enjoyed myself. Interesting dude.
 
Last year I met a KLOVer who lives near Mark. He gave me the run down on him. Nothing bad, I just got the feeling he's someone I wouldn't really have much to say to so I didn't bother the guy.
 
Every year without fail he asks me if I can load my Food Fight last because he wants to film himself play. Avidgeek had the Food Fight this year though. Avid, did he talk to you about FF?

Stalker not stocker... It's been a long weekend man... :)

Haha, it's alright.

I wish I could've been there too; sounded like a lot of fun.

He asked for my email, I gave it to him, Let's hope he doesn't send me all kinds of spam.

I bought something from him a number of years ago and he got my e-mail via the transaction. I got a good amount of e-mails from him promoting events and his products for several years afterwards...

Yeah, he said he would only email with the events and new products, so we'll see. I think it'll be OK though.

Nope, I stayed under the radar. I did see him but made no effort to chat him up. I think I did see him playing FF at one point tho.

I spent more time (like most of us) trying to find Jow.:cool:

So whats the run down ? Does he have a Muppet obsession ?
