a quick wrap up
it's not that nothing has happened.. so here it goes.
saturday was ubercon w/ gomez, janz & kyle, sunday was nyc w/ tina + marie antoinette. saturday i picked up my mail, waiting was a gamebit & 2 pcbs from tehkao @ shmups & 1 pcb from mulletron @ ng. battle bakraid, salamander 2, and street fighter alpha 2.
battle bakraid would be my first 8ing/raizing game, and it's a good shooter. i'll have to give it some more time as on monday we swapped back espgaluda to the vertical cab and did our 1 credit runs.
salamander 2 is much like (and expected) lifeforce (hence it being a sequel) i'm not used to this style of shooter and i suck at it, the ship moves slower without speedups and it drives me nuts. after playing manic shooters maybe i can't go back.
the street fighter alpha 2 board was a+b, however the b board's plastic connector was damaged due to a forced join to the b board. it exhibited lines through the sprites (not the screen), hence i suspected the connectors. unfortunately when i tested the b board on my japanese a board it bent a pin and had lines again. i fixed my pin but the pins on the provided a board were past fixing and snapped off. its either a junked board now or fixable pending new connectors/pins. i shaved off the plastic damage on the b board and it works fine, the a board is shelved.
back to monday, mnm was cancelled due to jeff being a workaholic and it was anton, mike, carlo and myself for pizza & beer and the now weekly tradition of watching HEROES on nbc.
tuesday provided all day meetings at work and a company dinner at the office @ ridgewood. probably the best meal i've had there, which was... beef wellington.
that brings us to today, which has been a good workday thusfar.
