who will be working on games during the blizzard? (East Coast question)

Well they just closed the MD State Gov't, so I will be home today. And man does it look like the afternoon will be a mess. I'm hoping that if we don't lose power, I can get out in the garcade and tinker around a bit.

Anyone else in the area planning to use the down time to work on their games? I love that my family has these for rainy days, but man I never thought the Garcade would be there for me in times of a friggin' BLIZZARD! I'll take it though!
 
Blizzard? what blizzard? Only supposed to get a couple of inches here. Looks like a southern thing again. Not that I'm complaining :D
 
i'm home today too. i own a catering truck and most of my accounts are shut down.and there's nothing to work on, but i think i'll tackle crystal castles, tron, and tempest today and get some solid play time in! any one on long island wanna challenge?
 
If they close the college early, I'll be home. Just started snowing here.


For the first time in I don't know how long, pretty much everything in the Baltimore area is closed. Universities, District Courts, State Gov't- if you get what we're getting, you'll get to go home :D
 
this "blizzard" has apparently skipped central and south jersey. my road is clear, not gonna take much to shovel out the driveway, I'll take the broom and sweep off the cars.

I am not complaining though. today with the whole family home I will cook all the stuff that didn't get cooked for the super bowl.

I may go down to the basement to work on something, but I doubt it, it is cold down there, and I hate wearing shoes in the house.
 
Not me...I'm at work. Will need to dig out when I get home.

But I do have these waiting for me when I get home:

i will be!

[actually, i'll be driving 200+ miles to do a parts lot pickup. i promise i'll be thinking of all you poor mid-Atlantic folks while i'm doing it, at least for a moment or two.]

You are making me wonder if I should just save the original CP on my Tempest and rewire it, rather than buy another one populated.
 
sucks @ss, I'm at work. not snowing enough to close this place.
 
works closed as well.. we are getting pounded by the minute.. i am in the heart of 12-24" territory..

i will likely head down to the basement to work on the games that I will be selling soon.

My best friend lives in south jersey and he is snowed in at work and can't get out to go home. Guess he didn't get skipped lol
 
I am trapped in Wilmington Delaware... any KLOVer want to have some company over to play games???? PLEASE!!! Cabin fever staying trapped inside the hotel.

Clinton County/Highland County Ohio:

Wife took off work yesterday since all footage of Cincy was bad on the roads. 2 hours after she would have been at work. Snow plow came down our road! That shows roads are in great shape since our road usually gets hit day after a storm.

We are getting another storm Saturday night. I will NOT watch the news and use my own judgement. It just hard judging since I have country road (not even secondary). To the main road that is secondary.

As to what did I do.. SHOVEL! I'm too old for this shit :)

I'll be busy repopulating this Armor attack board with 44 new components,not looking forward to it either.

Today is all about working on my games.I got all the sounds working on my space invaders already this morning,still no video though.I'm expecting another bundle of joy from bob roberts today,there is something in there for every one of my games.I hope it shows up,i sure could use a bananna moon pie about now,a nice lil sugar buzz to motivate me to install the parts.
I will probably be off the rest of the week as i was carrying some control panels and coin door assemby to my van yesterday so i could sandblast em after work,slipped on the ice and down the stairs i went.All the parts are fine but my wrist is killin me,sprained i hope.
We are currently getting hit with round 2 of this storm,it's not so bad.Ohio born and raised,i'm used to it.

I'm going to work on my Turbo mini some more, well assuming I even get home since I'm likely to be leaving right during the worst part of it.

Although Al Gore called me from his private jet to tell me major winter storms don't happen anymore, so I'm not really worried.
