Not purchasing anything new until I catch up on this blog in the collection. Other than that, the only update I can say is I've been adding pictures all day until late.

That's it

I'm Trying My Best

I've been working through the night for the past few days trying to post my entire collection ... It's almost 5:30AM and I have just finished for the night ... it's still only a small fraction of what I have. I decided not to buy anything else until I finish this blog.

This winter, I will start construction on my game room, which will be open to the public, by appointment only. It probably wont be available for that to happen until mid-2015.

Happy Gaming!!!

Basically, I've been busy having a life ... I'm recently in a relationship so I haven't been Uploading as much ... I am planning on building an official game room ... I'll post pictures here to show progress when the time comes.

A few weeks ago, I bought a Mortal Kombat II arcade cabinet ... Cosmetically, I give it a 7/10 ... functionality though ... Almost perfect ... I eventually plan to buy Mortal Kombat, Mortal Kombat 3, Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 and Mortal Kombat 4.

I will also be adding pictures of the Arcade Manuals too.

Basically, other than that ... No other pick-ups

What happened ... hmm ... well ... absolutely nothing except I got a Pleiades Arcade Cabinet and I decided for all those who like to repair things ... I will post all of the schematics I have saved to my computer in the past and those that I have in physical form ... for best viewing though, I suggest opening them in a new tab.

other than that, I got some 31 year old beer called BADGER BEER ... the badger doesn't care.

and I promise I will try my best to keep politics of this blog.

More of HAM's idiocy

So, I went to their page and saw this

I was like "Yeah, totally seems legit" so I used the almighty Google *snicker* I searched "Large Crowd" and got this ...

The similarities of the pictures are astounding ... if this isn't enough to prove their lie ... I dug deeper and found the photographers flickr with the photo Here. So, HAM said it was "HAM 2014" ... but the picture was taken in 2008.

As for location, it is Ann Arbor, Michigan, most likely at the college stadium for a football game.

 

 

All I have to say to HAM is ...

 

 

 

Bye, bye

UPDATE

Soooo ... they went to an event that didn't even exist ... Thanks for coming out alright... LOL





Caught HAM in a lie, let's show the world

So, I went on Heterosexual Awareness Month, a Facebook page that is very strongly against homosexuals, same-sex marriage and the like.

After the Hobby Lobby Ruling, which is for religious freedom so that Hobby Lobby has the right to not provide birth control to it's employees, even though the Affordable Care Act (ACA) would require it.

The supreme court ruled in favor of Hobby Lobby, giving them an exception for religious reasons.

BUT ... a day later, The White House received a letter asking to be able to deny service, and discriminate against the LGBT community because it would be "Religious Liberty" to do so, since LGBT rights are against their religion. More Here


Back to the main topic. There is now a boycott going on against Hobby Lobby over the ruling.

I saw this picture about 2 or 3 days after the ruling (About the 4th of July)

 

 

So, Yesterday (7th of July) I noticed that Heterosexual Awareness Month posted a "edited" version. which I had to call them out over, as you can see.

 

 

 

Then, today (8th of July) they commented, trying to say that their image was the original (even though it was posted days after the original) and I had to call them out on that too.

 

 

 

After, I posted I explained to them how you can tell it was photoshopped.

 

 

 

And then, after they called people "Thieving Photoshoppers," they reply to my statement with "what's photoshop." and then banned me so it seems like I gave up and so they seemed more powerful and got the last word in.

 

 

 

 

Let, me make this clear, I don't care what your opinions are, I'll still accept you, but when you manipulate the facts to misinform people, that's when I have a problem.

I am a proud supporter of the LGBT community, sorry to make this about politics and such, but seeing someone lying to a mass of people, and then covering up anyone who points out their lies. If the were civil about it, I would have ignored them.

 

Over and Out ...
