    Disabling extra balls would be awesome. A bit of extra work for venders though .. probs won’t happen.

    I had no issues with jerks at expo luckily. I’ve seen the behavior at other shows for sure tho, not sure what the solution is.

    I am thinking the solution might be to spend the next 363 days hitting the gym and bulking up. Then show up in a muscle shirt. When the guy starts the second and and you tap him on the shoulder and let him know it's your turn he might think twice about mouthing off and instead walk away.

    The insider connect thing was rather annoying in the show setting as well. Played a lot of games logged in as someone else. And waiting for people to log in.

    Quoted from vdojaq:

    First of all, could anyone have imagined if this poster was Gryszzz and this happened to him? We would be reading about the guy taken off in an ambulance.

    I dunno about that. I saw him Saturday afternoon and he was beyond shit faced. Pretty sure I ran into him later peeing in public right outside the hotel doors by the show. I think he would have made a couple swings and fallen down.

    Quoted from wisefwumyogwave:

    I'm advocating for grown MEN to draw a line somewhere and defend themselves. Not come running to the internets for moral support because they now regret not socking him in the first place after inevitably replaying the event in his head and feeling like a P

    Dude you don’t get into a fist fight over playing a f’n pinball game, wtf! That is 5 yr old behavior. If your life is in danger, sure, defend yourself obviously. Dudes being an ass at a show? Let staff know and decide how to deal with it. Getting into a fight will get you both booted from the show most likely and be pretty sad to witness.

    Could try tilting him every ball by shoving cab tho lol. But that would probably lead to the whole fist fight thing
