Re: MGC 2010 HYPE thread
last year, we just entered the same hotel room, and cause we were in the same room, we all knew that we were benheckers

Indeed. Sounds like that will make things quite a bit cheaper too!joeyjoe9876 wrote:makes sense!
Blarrrggg... Long drive... is there anyone along the way that would want to car pool? I can seat four.

Sorry I know this is like four months away, but I freak out if I don't plan trips way ahead of time.

Re: MGC 2010 HYPE thread
I flew in from Austin, Tx last year. Cost the same to drive.
But that was with $4 gas. With this nice cool sub $3 gas I can drive much cheaper and not have to worry about security thinking my Atari is a bomb.

Re: MGC 2010 HYPE thread
I remember being in the hotel room last year and someone didn't recognize me. That was funny!
Anyway, I've got most of the sound bugs worked out on Bill Paxton Pinball. It had a bug where upon certain events the game would freeze when the ball drained.
I changed the sound code so that I can start a new sound whenever I want and it will safely close the previous file, even if still playing, and then start a new one. This allows bam bam bam repetitive sounds, such as ricochets on the pop bumpers.
Revision 3 of the playfield design is nearly complete, once I can nail that down I can begin the boring, tedious task of mounting the lights.
Should be a good show!

Who was it that didn't recognise you? I know it wasn't me, cause it was quite the opposite, as you didn't recognise me lol.
