8/22/2006 - Happy Tigers & Vegas

Hi hi!! I have some amazing news: TOYBOX SAFARI has just launched today!! :D

"Rrrraaaaarrr!!!"

Please head on over and take a look! If you're as obsessed with odd vintage toys as i am..then you're gonna want to check in often. TBS will be updated very frequently with it's multiple authors! It'll feature tons and TONS of photos, stories, drawings; even VIDEO... of rarely-seen toys; both vintage and modern. 'Help spread the word, and give us a link :)

I'm over-due for a new DS game. 'Either finished or got bored with the ones i have!
Fox Sticker

It's "Happy Starfox Day" on the 28th. I'm not ultra-excited...but the Wi-Fi mode could be fun :D The last few installments of this franchise have been pretty dull...from SF64 on...(( though i still bought them all :P )) Nintendo can put their name on a half-eaten moldy mayonnaise sandwich in the trash and i would still buy it.
....Ask anyone.

Here are some more life-accomplishments:

....next: the Matterhorn

*LAS VEGAS 2006* 'Awesome time, as always....
card shark! hahaha

This year, we kinda planned our trip around the Fabulous Fantasy Pinball 10th Anniversary Show... which was held at the Plaza casino in downtown LV. Fun! Fun! Fun! Fun! Fun! I'm positive the nerds scored more that weekend than any high-rollin' -young billionaire with money coming out of his ass....

i scored

...we didn't play as much pinball, actually. Me... i was glued to the Mr. Do machine :) The Canadian champion was there at this thing.....and whoa... i've NEVER seen anyone so skilled in my life!! 'Saw him beat Twilight Zone. That ,alone, was well worth the price of admission! :D

We stayed at the Plaza for two nights, and the Mirage two nights.

Our pal, "Disney" joined us the next day. While him and Rob played blackjack for 94593574563 hours, i went out exploring. 'Met some really nice roller derby girls and watched them beat the shit out of eachother! Man...they fall pretty hard alot of the time... scrape up their legs ...but then get right back up like it's nothing. 'Wish i was that tough.

The Wynn Buffet: Does it live up to it's hype? Well... i can say this: unlimited king crab legs and prime rib is EXTREMELY satisfying...even when paying $34.00 a person. One thing that stood out: the food was arranged real nice along the buffet.... 'kinda artsy, if you can imagine. I didn't get very far in my documentation 'cause the prime rib nazi told me photography was not allowed. :P Man...getting yelled at by a man wearing a floppy white hat is pretty pathetic. Oh well... here. You get the idea:
wynn buffet

Bottom line: Huge variety at this buffet, including juicy med-rare cuts of PR and king crab legs; unusual decor; artistic food presentation; expensive as fuck. There's a waaay cheaper alt if you only care about the seafood... "Freemont"'s Seafood Special Buffet is just $16.99....and they have the SAME crabs; though no steak.

On to Circus Circus: Ok... have any of you guys heard of an arcade machine called "The Stacker"? 'Cause holy crap...i had my first encounter with this pile of shit, and let me tell you.............UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The object is to line up a bunch of scrolling red lights; row after row; stacking them up to the top of the display screen until you reach a "prize line". If you reach the first prize line, you can choose to end your game with a small crappy prize (( like a keychain, or a hacky-sac ))...OR you can continue playing, go for prize line #2...and win something a little better... Like an I-Pod Shuffle or a Gameboy Advance SP.

NOW.. i have really good reflexes. I had absolutely no problem AT ALL clearing my way to the very last move on every single game i played before a grand prize item would be awarded. I go to lock the lights into place on the last move, and i SWEAR i've got the timing right, ....and that's when the damn machine yells "OH NO!!!!!" and the sad noises play!!

I had my "WTF" face on for $7.00 worth of plays @ 0.50 a shot. o.0

'Like the Wiki entry states...and this is just too true: you get hooked...'cause you think you're sooo damn close to winning a cool ass $100 prize...but this crapfest is RIGGED! 'Timing on the last shot is off!!

AVOID-AVOID-AVOID-AVOID!!

Well... i opened with a tiger, and now i'm gonna end with a tiger. Here's the bad-boy who turned Roy into a pez-despenser. ...ok he's not THE tiger, but it's his friend. :)

'Are you still reading this? o.0 ...damn.
