What "firsts" did you have this year?

[khabbi]

Lots of firsts, but I finally got a good working machine for free! Didn't think that would ever happen...

Firsts?

Finally after years of trying to get my wife to.....

oh, wait...

I shipped a game via NAVL for the first time this year

 

[VectorAddict]

first time repairing a whole in the drywall (SWT install incident)

Haha, I just repaired a huge hole in the wall from my Centaur (pin). I'm getting pretty good at it, might make it a side business

 

[YieArKade]

First (and last) time I took a game without asking first.

Now that's funny!

Some of my 1sts are:

Removing/installing a 25" monitor
Giving away a free cabinet
Watching a Tron movie in the theater

 

[Spunkmeyer]

This year I sold my first cabinet (a 60-in-1 in a gutted cabinet) and spent that money to buy my first dedicated games (Centipede cabaret and Missile Command cocktail.)
