:evil: : I got off my butt to start fixing all my half broken arcade cabinets and started off by almost killing my Tekken 2 and nearly shocking myself several times. Then my Virtua Racing cab and it's monitor were a lot more broken than I remember them being.
:mrgreen: : My Tekken 2 is now fully converted into a Neo Geo 1-Slot and wired for Stereo. As for the Virtua Racing, I ended up learning how to discharge and properly service a monitor which was pretty easy and is turning out to be a lot more fun than I thought. I'll fix you yet you stubborn Nanao MS8!

You say that like a pint isn't very much. I couldn't stand for 15 minutes after the last time I gave that much.

I don't really know what that is. Would you mind to elaborate?

Is it a normal publication, or is it a Doctoral Dissertation-style thing with a title that makes up the entirety of the abstract paragraph?

If it's the latter, please share the title.

I pass out after just one of those tiny blood test tubes at the doctors office. I don't know how you people can give more than like a teaspoon.

Ugh, after my stay at the Hospital earlier this year I can comfortably say I never want to see an IV ever again in my life.

I remember one time it took 3 nurses to hold me down and get some blood out my arm. I'm not afraid of needles per se. Just afraid of a needle going in the big vain in my arm(Median Cubital Vein). I know, it's weird.
