Or to transport games in open truck.
Had to share a quick/medium story.
I just moved every project game out of my garage to a storage unit so I can actually work on games, cars and stuff....ok ..make wife happy.
Well, while I was making an unload trip, a guy follows me to storage unit, jumps out of his truck, and runs over to me before I can get through gate.
He says, "you/sell fix these things?"
I am like, "not really, I just pay to store them like an idiot but yea I can sometimes fix them."
He says, "I have a neighbor that has a pac-man that is broke, can I get your number to give to him".
I go, " sure, what the heck" and give my name and number.....a week passes.
Today, I get a call while picking up another project game. WTH am I doing! I am trying to sell shit. It is the "pac-man" owner.
He says blah blah neighbor gave me your # blah "I have a galaxy"
I say "Galaxian, Galaga, What?" blah blah
He says, "oh, umm, it is a Tempest some space game not sure." "It plays but monitor doesn't come on...probably just a fuse you can probably fix it in 5 min"
I say, "if it is a tempest, it is likely not just a fuse but sure I can swing by and take a look."
Head over less than 2 miles from storage unit. No keys so I didn't even bother turning it on. Guy has had it for 10 years and about 2 years ago monitor went out so in the garage it has sat. We worked out a deal for @ $250.
So did I just pay for the storage unit for a couple months...isn't that how a warped KLOV'r thinks? Actually it will likely be my Major Havoc conversation candidate. I almost gave up hope on finding the necessary vector parts, cheaply, to cobble something together.
