My wife called for me last night as I was detailing up my Gorf machine saying 'Hey...you gotta come see this!'. She is a huge fan of that new show 'The Mentalist'...which even though I don't care for TV these days is a pretty cool show that reminds me of a spin off of Columbo. Anyways...did anyone out there see it??? The detectives were investigating a guy that was a 'repairman' for a modern arcade. They shot scenes throughout the arcade which showed fairly modern games but there were a few scenes where they interviewed the repairman in his actual repairshop. LOL....I saw an Asteroids, a Ms. Pac Man with the back door off....what looked like an old Williams EM shooter....too funny! At one point the guy was actually soldering (almost looked like a coin mech or weird chassis) and he had this super cheap looking iron and what appeared to be a giant spool of plumbers solder.
I always love to see the interpretation on TV of what most of us enjoy as a hobby. And interesting as well to see how arcade games always seem to make great props...probably a bunch of set guys in their 40's saying "You just HAVE to put an Asteroids machine in the scene"...LOL...
Did anyone catch the episode last night?
