This Lifestyle has to end
« on: April 01, 2010, 11:01:22 AM »
Guys, enough is enough. At least that is what the better part of me thinks.

Unfortunately I am forced to leave the scene. As most of you know I gathered some very nice cabs over the last few months, but my wife is very disappointed that none of them houses TETRIS. I told her that I hate TETRIS, and that that game will never be in my gameroom.

But she got angry and she told me that I only have one option: I will make room for TETRIS, or all cabs, consoles and other game stuff will have to go. If not, she will leave.

But I hate TETRIS, hate it. However, I don’t want to lose her either, she is so lovely. So, I guess all game stuff will have to go. Fortunately I am allowed to keep my Nintendo DS, it has TETRIS on it.

But I don’t want to sell it off on Ebay or marktplaats, I would hate it if my collection would get scattered all over the globe. So I will have an open house, next Sunday, where people I know can by my stuff, at costprice, preferably in one batch.

If anyone is interested and wants to come, shoot me a PM for directions. Although, it could be that I have to postpone it because of the weather. And It also have to be collect only, I am afraid that if I will ship it, it will end up in France, which will give me bad reputation (although I wouldn’t care, I’m leaving the scene, is it not?)

It has been a great time.

Tetris looks great in a Star Wars cockpit.  Plus it gives your wife a place to sit and you get to keep the other games. 

My wife wanted Ms. Pac but I was out of room so I converted one of my games

LOL

But actually, she tought that TETRIS in my SW cockpit was a good idea, and  I can live with that. Thanks for bringing this idea up. And I will be the first to have vector tetris. So in the end all things are good again, I get to keep all my games, and I still can built my gameroom  ;D ;D

Sorry Ully and Robin, you have to find your games somewhere else.  :lol:

Damn!

But one other thing, I sure hope that you are not connected with that site in some way. I mean, boys who like boys who like joysticks. Puke.  :shock:

OW yikes, I just googled and "vector" and "tetris" because I knew I'd seen it before and this was the first link I found and blindly copied it....

hi.  sure it was 1st april fish attitude... ;D

for any WAF compliance  dont forget...

1. you can put multi-jamma for an atrocious game  your buddies like but you dont !   so you can forget about it  and they switch to the game when they wish ...

2. is it harder to find a comprehensive girl than finding rare arcade ?
