The inspiration for Short Circuit Arcade. Thanks @TheBasement

Years ago, I had a web site on AOL and I called my arcade Sam's Classic Arcade. When AOL did away with its web space, I moved it to Cox and not long after that it was gone too. All I could find was an incomplete page shot on The Wayback Machine. A good friend of mine one year long ago gave me a sign for my arcade as a birthday gift and instead of Sam's Classic Arcade it said Sam's Ventage Arcade so take your pick. The sign is still up in my arcade for twenty plus years, so it feels like it's ventage, well I do anyway.

He also inspired my Game Galaxy 2.0 layout and game selection transformation. Don't know if you remember that, @TheBasement , but thanks again from me as well.

At our old house we used to call the basement, where the arcade was, "The Vault" and had this on the stairs as you went down as a reference to Mallrats:




Now we've moved and I have a separate building I'm converting into an arcade, so maybe I need to think of a new name. Especially given my awareness of the existence of the (far superior) Vintage Vault.

It's a nickname from college. We went out to our usual bar dressed as an Amish Couple. The dress, the hat, button down shirt, suspenders, and the beard. We were the real deal! This was around Halloween and we had no idea they were having a costume contest that night. We won first place and $500 in credit which we blew that night buying the whole place shots. I don't know who coined it, but somewhere throughout the evening we started calling her Jody Yoder and it's stuck ever since.

Yoder is a massively common surname in Amish communities. I have maybe 40 close-ish relatives named Yoder in my wife's family.

how does one get a nickname of Yoder?

This is the only thing I found online concerning that name...:

Yoder is a surname of Swiss German origin of which the original spelling is Joder.
It originated from the Canton of Bern in Switzerland.
The name dates back to at least 1260, and is a shortened version of the name Theodore.
Saint Yoder (died c. 400) is a patron saint of Valais, probably the first bishop of Octodurum.

Duh! Yoder is dat lil green dude that taught skyballer how ta fight wit dat laser stick!

Mine is the Arctic Arcade. I'm slightly below the Arctic Circle, but being one of the few home arcades at this latitude I think the name is justified.

The official name of my garcade is "Time Extended". One of these days I need to commission a custom sign or something, heh.

 

[osver]

Nope, never named my space.
