Then we will be happy to have the arcade collection of the DEVIL DOG ARCADE.

I come home in November, but I leave to head back overseas on Dec 28. Can't make it this time. Maybe next time.
 
along with the arcade this was probably my favorite part of magfest X. mega man 2 played live with the band playing the music. no deaths.

all the bands that are there rock.

i just don't ever get out of the arcade to see them.
it's just me and two other techs that keep the machines up and running:)

I hope to make it again this year, at least for a couple days... but being near new year's, I dunno what my schedule will be like.

Yeah, that was really awesome... Mega Man 2 is probably my favorite NES game, and it has some great music, which was really cool played live.

I think you're 9 days early... don't do anything drastic on the 11th... that'll be an awkward final 10 days. ;)
