After 10 years, I take it the engagement will be a little shorter?

Yeah, sometime next year we think... Would be cruel to make her wait another decade!

And here's another vid, four games this time...

First go score, 1300 :lol: Didn't realise there was limited ammo! You know there's two fire buttons, right? One for normal slow fire and then one for the rapid fire that eventually runs out? Watched the vids. Really fun and looks like you had a great time on Holiday. Did you guys do anything other ...

Night Driver was really great, one of my faves in the tournament. Murder on the 'standing leg' though if you have a long game!

The game you were interested in is Exerion. First game I played when I got there this year, and I scored 66k which I never got close to again - beginner's luck!

Haha, probably not the right time to post while E3 is happening, but there you go...

For those of you that are enjoying the vids, here's part 2 of the USA tour.

No idea why but at the moment it doesn't have a thumbnail - YouTube weirdness!

Next video is online now...

This is part 1 of my journey around the arcades of the Eastern USA, including Barcade in Philadelphia, Game Galaxy in Antioch Tennessee and Barcade in New York!

Part 2 is almost done and is exclusively about New Hampshire...

I do, just rarely post these days...

Cheers all, some nice comments which are much appreciated!

Happy to help!

You know about this place I assume? Second largest classic arcade in the USA as far as I'm aware...

You 're obviously looking in the wrong places... Where do you live?

No JAMMA cab to play it in at home though... Also the dedicated cab is totally different as the CP slopes downwards towards the monitor glass!

I can imagine the wedding tune will be a retro tune ? Eg Mario theme or something ? ;) Donkey Kong opening music maybe? ;) There won't be too much geekiness at the actual ceremony, but we do have a couple of movie themes in mind for music. Also there will definitely be some gaming at the evening do...
