Hypothetical BigTymer Status

[c0nn0r]

Let's say my biggest goal in life is to be a BigTymer. What exactly do I need to do to attain said status? Do I need a particular set of games on AES, or is MVS BigTymer enough? Do I need a cab? If so, I understand it would need to be a candy cab, but does it have to be a NEO-GEO candy? Do I need to kick Dion in the nuts, or juggle Rot's cajones?

Help me guys... This has been bugging me all week. My Dr. says I need to calm down, but I just cant shake that feeling that to be someone I need BigTymer status.

Yea, that's a load of horsecrap. Who cares about those wannabes that don't even have half of the stuff they claim to own.

If there is such a thing as MVS bigtymer (news), it is kits only.

I dunno, man. I know 8man has a dickload of AES shit and a Metal Slug pool, but I just don't think he's a big tymer. It's about attitude as much as it is the shit that you own.

 

[GutsDozer]

You need a Tintin statue or a Metal Slug Fountain.

 

[NeoGeoFanatic]

Isn't he the only member on that list that has a complete AES set? He has tons of MVS kits, if not a complete set.

I am not sure about that 'Big timer' label but he sure does have the most impressive Neo Geo collection I've ever seen.

He is also one of the nicest guys around.

There are other members with complete sets that don't feel the need to publicize it. Also, what constitutes a complete AES is subjective at best. Take it from this MVS Executive

 

[Caliburn89]

If you have to ask, you'll never be one.

1. leave forum
2. quit video games

start balling like Jordan in Wolf of Wallstreet

 

[thermaltreasure]

A complete boxed PAL N64 collection, everything else was hyperspin

 

[NGCDFreak]

Is there one for the Dreamcast scene? Oh yeah how can a Neo CD fan attain such a status what must I have?

*Looks at avatar*

You attained a few statuses in my book if that counts.

 

[oliverclaude]

What exactly do I need to do to attain said status?

Ask Maksimo... then apply the following old-but-gold method ad nauseam:

Early 1997

Fun Fun Brothers, NGH-026, sells on eBay.
Winning bid is $230.
Larry Bassin then contacts the high bidder and offers him double ($460) before the bidder even receives the game.
Game goes straight to Larry. Larry does not share it.

P.S. It's simple, really -- no protos, no status.

Do you earn 6 figures? no? well you're not a big tymer.

Fuck.
