  1. I don't think it's going to really hit me until we start to play a match and he's not there. Life can be so beautiful and so very cruel. I feel so terrible that his kids grow up without a father. I know the club will honor him well when the time is right.
  2. Einstein's was by Texas Textbooks and the Coop. You're thinking of Le Fun next to the Scientology building.
  3. There was a whole host of great laserdisc games from that era. Cobra Command, Mach 3, Cliff Hanger, Freedom Fighter, Super Don Quixote, Mad Dog McCree. https://www.giantbomb.com/laserdisc/3015-8905/games/
  4. Hey Joe, you want me to shoot this guy? https://www.nbclosangeles.com/entertainment/actor-michael-madsen-death-malibu/3738032/
  5. Monty's Christmas gifts are always great.
  6. Devastated. YNWA Diogo.
  7. I worked at Crystal's Pizza off Inwood from the summer of 1992 till it closed in the fall of 1993. That was a great place to work. My friend was the MOD in the evenings and when it was slow enough or we were closed for the night, we'd open up the video game coin returns with his key and set everything to free play. My mom would take me to Putt Putt every couple of Saturdays and just leave me there with enough money to play video games and get a hot dog while she went shopping. We would also do Midnight Madness where you paid a set amount and they came by with buckets of quarters to load into the machines. But by far the greatest arcade was the two story Chuck-E-Cheese at Walnut Hill near 75. That was where I first played Dragon's Lair and Space Ace.
  8. Oh don't worry. Rex will return in about a month under some new name where it will be easy to figure out who he is as he does his usual attacking style and following people around to get responses. Then you can put that username on ignore until he brings Rex Kramer back out of retirement. Tale as old as time.
  9. Try as they might they can never get back the feeling of an 80s arcade. There's no Rock-Afire Explosion. There's no more tokens. There's a few places here in DFW called Freeplay that scratch that itch with old arcade games. As a kid, I wanted nothing more than $20 in tokens and that could last me a few hours at Putt-Putt or Aladdin's Castle. Now when I play these games at a place where you pay a set fee and everything is free play, it's a lot easier to just get bored quickly with a game and walk away mid-game. At least Freeplay has decent food and beers.
  10. Whoa, wait. Rex took his toys and went home again or was he shown the door?
  11. Yo dawg. We heard you liked Jaws.
  12. The gamesmanship begins. Saw that we may have Nunez overvalued so Napoli wants to pay way less than we're asking. Now this:
  13. Yeah he may get deported and lose all his sweet government subsidies but at least he got to own some libs.
  14. Renewed for season 5.
