OK, who got my free Operation Wolf in Albany Today?!!
Just got to vent a little.
So Friday was my birthday. I was thinking "i know I don't have any money but maybe I'll get lucky and find a free game today".
There was an add on craigslist for a garage sale that also mentioned arcade game. So I go over there and find a minty but non-working operation wolf. I was willing to pay for it but the guy was like " My father just wants it gone I think. Let me get your number and we'll call you tomorrow when he's around." I proceeded to tell the guy that I was just down the street and could make a quick pick-up.
Saturday - I invite my brother and his truck over for the whole day just in case I get the call. I check my machine constantly and carry my phone around all day. Nothing. So I'm thinking it's gone. Bummer.
Today I look at my answering machine at 11am and there's a message. From 2 pm Saturday!!! WTF?! I was here with the phone in my pocket all day waiting.
The only conclusion I could come up with is that I have my phone through Ooma VoIP. Must have had something to do with the messaging service on it.
Long story short... I call right away today and the woman was like "The other guy is driving away with it right now".
I gotta take a break from craigslist. 3 years trying and 5 missed free games. This one I really wanted!!! This is causing to much of an emotional problem for me! HAHA!
If the guy who got it is who I think it was then he has one more game collecting dust in one of his 3 storage units! COME ON DUDE! HAHA!
When you find yourself wanting to get rid of it later on when you need more space please drop me a line!
(End of rant and whining)
