    Quoted from joshvandam:

    So my buddy and I have been going to expo for years and attendees are generally courteous and respectful of each other which makes the event enjoyable for all. This year we were walked up to a Godzilla with someone playing and another couple waiting for there turn. The person playing finished their game and let the couple play so we were next in the queue. When there game was over they immediately started another game knowing we were patiently waiting next. I then told him we would like a turn as well since they already had one and the guy flipped his shit and was ready to throw down right there in the vendor hall. He basically said I was lucky he didn’t kick my ass right there and to be thankful he is only playing 2 games and not 20. Not looking to have a fight over a game of Godzilla I just told him he was being very disrespectful to other gamers and left. Anyone have this happen? Was I wrong to even say anything to begin with? Although it may be hard to enforce and most are respectful anyway should this be an actual rule that everyone play 1 game and let others have a turn if they are waiting?

    Some people are just dicks and there's no fixing that, but threatening physical violence is completely unacceptable.

    Quoted from L8vid:

    Proper Pinball Etiquette is covered in the Pinball 101 DVD.

    I suppose there's always room to squeeze in a pinball tutorial video in-between beating the drum for buying war bonds.
    CC is looking pretty darn good for being around 100 years old.

    I have thrown myself out of an Applebee's and I am better off for it!

    Applebee's......
    Sounds boogie, hopefully it didn't ruin date night.
