Sorry...
I just have a thing for cleanliness and good hygiene, especially around pins, games and electronics!

I like that, Nimble. How about a game of Global Thermonuclear War?

I have, it is a challenge from my 2 boy's, 5 and 7, to a game.

Not many beat their scores, they are in the high 50 to 80Million mark. IJ4

My T2 has "Chill out dickwad." Found it fitting given what it displays before that and since Arnold gives most of the quote when you have a tilt warning.

On the topic of custom messages, is there any way to get rid of the PSA's on Bally/Williams machines? I'm talking about "AIDS is real, protect yourself" (or whatever that one is) and "Say no to drugs". The former is awkward and has attracted comments, and the latter has pissed off at least one guest.

Great question DrAzzy. I have been wondering that as well.

I have custom messages on my 3 DMDs,
AFM says Mars needs more women like the Butterflygirl...
Congo says Phoebe loves the Jungle...
and Spidey says Phoebe's extra flashy Spidey with Cointaker LEDs...

I would also like to know how to get rid of the standard messages that are in there, I thought that if you installed a custom message it would get rid of those...but nope they are still there. I would also like to know why the custome message on Spidey only comes up like every 5th time or so when it runs through all the stuff on the display? the other 2 run through it everytime...but not the Spidey?? Does anyone know how to get the custom message to be displayed more frequently on the newer Sterns?

I kinda like the factory one on HS2 - "Everyone say no to drugs".

Goes perfectly with the theme - "Run the red light and make the police choke on your dust".

Hey guys. Mickthepin started this, but I was just thinking . This has become very interesting. How about we start a new thread devoted to strictly posting some of your custom messages on pins. I'm not trying to steal your thunder, but I'm going to start one off with the heading of: "POST YOUR CUSTOM PIN MESSAGES HERE". Some of you may jump back in and post yours so that others who haven't seen this thread can figure out what we are doing.

Hope this works!

I recently changed most of the custom messages. STTNG currently has: Kirk was here...Picard sucks Vulcan balls. For a good time call Troi 555-2689 Hourly rates

The PSA's were brought up on the other site not too long ago and the general concensus was - nope, nothing you can do short of rewriting the code.
