My man. Haven't gotten a play on 'zilla yet, hope you enjoy it.

I played it at Galloping Ghosts over memorial day weekend quite a bit and was hooked. When I got home I contacted a few distributors about it and one said he may have some allocations for the late July run. While I was in Roatan he hit me up on July 9th saying he had one for me if I wanted it and my drunken stuper, making me a bit more lose, I put down the deposit, and this past Tuesday I got the invoice for the rest and it arrived today. It came much quicker than I thought after getting the invoice Tuesday.

After playing it though I was thinking how I could get one and I'm selling off a bunch of arcade boards to help cover the cost. I almost sold my 2 Rush 2049 SE machines and had a buyer lined up for $2k but I got cold feet.

Also Godzilla Premium is like the highest demanded pin right now. There are people who ordered last October that still don't have em. Many distributors are saying they won't have anymore until mid/late 2023 already. So I just pounced on it and I could easily get my money back + more if I got rid of it.

Stern is announcing their new pin any day now and I was kind of hoping to hear about that before this, in case it's a must have for me, but I highly doubt it'll be something I'm interested in theme wise based on rumors.

Excellent. Funny how we still gotta hustle w/ pins. I really hope I can find a better house soon so that I can have more room and more games! You up to this and JP now? I forget if you have others. I might've been able to swing a third if my wife liked TS4, but bleh.

Yea it's just JP.

I am pretty much all out of room right now though. I didn't think I could even fit a second but I rearranged my area and moved my desk elsewhere in my basement.

If I didn't care about doing VR then I'd have room for more though. But I plan on getting PSVR2 as soon as it's out.

Wow!

Technically I didn’t buy it, but got this surprise in the mail from a friend. He knows I’ve been looking for the perfect era appropriate companion for the cassette deck in my car. It’s perfect 😍

Got it all setup last night.

Only played 2 games but got a pretty solid score on my second.

Oh yeah that is pretty simple to do. Probably the easiest multiball in the game to get.

What's the hardest?

 

[purbeast0]

Not sure as I've only played it twice lol.

I played it on site somewhere a while back and I think I only got 2 multiballs - the building one and the mecha godzilla one. Both of those are pretty simple. I just think hitting the building shot is easier than hitting the mecha godzilla shots.

Got an IKEA bookshelf with some drawers and cabinets to organize some things, declutter, and display some handmade pottery from the Mediterranean, plus some of my succulents. Took the bike that was hanging below this one down into the basement and locked it up there.

And got a new kitty today! All gray like my dog. His name is Wally and he is hiding in the new bookshelf! And this kitty is already acclimated to a large dog from his foster at only 11 weeks old. I see a future friendship as my dog is fine with cats.

Cute kitty! Congratulations.

Record and CD player + amp and speakers setup for my living room. I’ve been collecting vinyl here and there for over a decade and haven’t managed to convince myself to put together a way to play it until now. Tons of CDs too since they’re cheaper and sound better but putting on a vinyl record is more fun anyway.

Is that what hipsters have moved on to these days? I’m behind the times already

Upgraded my 10 year old dual 27" Yamakasi Precision 2703 (2560x1440) monitors to these Acer 28" 4K 60Hz monitors @ $199.99 that was on sale at Newegg.



Connected to a eVGA RTX 3090 FTW3 Ultra Gaming via DP and also with a 50" Vizio M50Q7-H1 via HDMI, Windows 11. 120Hz would have been great, but I'm cheap and not a gamer.
Note: the Acers are actually running at 2560x1440 60Hz right now, since at 4K the icons, fonts, text are too small for my eyes. I'll have to figure out how to use it at 4K with larger icons, fonts, text.
