The night before picking up a game, even though I want to go to bed, I feel like a kid the night before x-mas. I have probably picked up 100 games, and while not quite as exciting as the first few times, its still cool to get a bit of a high. (sounds like a sexual metaphor)

On the other side of this, Christmas is always a let down as far as the present department. Really how much better does it get than a 30 year old game that will need 200 bucks in sideart and repairs. Nothing really compares unless it has 500 HP and 20 inch rims. I never complain about presents, but it is hard to get what your really want when your in this hobby. However every year I get 2 or 3 electronic dart boards, and 6 packs of donkey kong or pacman power drinks.
 
Last year my parents picked up a Super Pac cocktail for me in September and gave it to me for an early Christmas present. They pulled up in their truck and said "We have something for you." They had it covered over and only a small part of one control panel was showing and I knew exactly which game it was right away. I hadn't been that pumped in quite a while. It needed some work but I had it running the next day. The rest of my Christmas presents were pale in compairson. When you get a grail just given to you, it kind of outshines everything else.
 
I got the jitters about getting that mk3. Bring that pc over tomorrow and you can check out the PAC. I'm bringing the space ace home on tues trip back
