Nah, bro...1CC! :mr_t:
(I'm here all week!)

er. Yah. You know you're an arcade gamer when there are so many arcade knick-knacks in the house that an MVS box accidentally gets used as a notepad by the wife.

You know youre an arcade gamer when...you drive 4 hours to pick up a cab after work, and then spend 4 more hours ripping it apart to have a rare naomi shooter running in one of your other cabs!!!

hah no, we took a '91 Chevy Suburban, since we were really picking up 2 cabs (an Astro City, and a Jaleco Pony III for BigTinz).

We picked them up in Miami, FL, about 12 hours from here. Left on a Saturday, stayed the night in Miami, picked up the cabs on Sunday and headed back.

When there's a 27in wells gardner and SF3rd strike setup on your kitchen table, a cab that needs a cap kit in your bedroom, various broken cabs in the garage, and the only working cab in the house is the 2 slot mini in the living room. Oops

When you carry a Woody cab through the stairs 5 floors up to your flat, because it won't fit in the elevator. :eek:

When you have to stand up even while playing console games with a wireless controller, because sitting while you play them just "feels" wrong.

This is something I'm beyond guilty of doing.

Knowing the sanwa catalog almost by heart. I don't know how the fuck I commited the part numbers for those heart lightup buttons either.

I have 100% more cabs than pairs of pants. :emb:

You know you're an arcade gamer when your idea for an exciting Friday night is playing shoot 'em ups with a buddy in your basement.

You know you are an arcade gamer when you have the uncontrollable urge to dig around the local distributor during your lunch break to buy some new boards, or better yet... get boards for free.
