f13.net

F13 has been boring for a month or so.  I copied this quote from IRC and figured you coulds could revive things.  Uhhhh, so what topic can we start to get things interesting?

Your avatar is a porn star.

Doesn't matter. I still approve.

Well, she's in porn to be sure, but I'd hardly call her a "star."

Is it wrong that we all know who she is?

It's more wrong that I have no idea who she is....

I always did like a woman with glasses.  And, welll, never mind.

I guess I can upload pictures tomorrow night of what sex made out of metal looks like.

Nor me.  Not sure I want to know tho.  Nice Rack, ugly as fuck.  If I wanted that, I'd go to work.

I was thinking the exact opposite.  Kinda cute, but the breast job is a complete turn-off..

Yeah, but you're from Venus.

My personal interpretation...

Metal sex. (http://www.imdb.com/gallery/ss/0181852/Ss/0181852/DT3-22984R.jpg.html?path=gallery&path_key=0181852)

too many edits.  teh interweb doesn't like me today :(

Believe it or not, the breasts are natural.

She's in porn all over the place.  Counts as porn star.

And yeah, real boobs.

If that is what ugly women look like in Scotland, then please send them all over here. :)

I guess it's the choice of bras that made me think that then.

She's definitely touted as being a "Big Natural." So yeah, real stuff, mediocre face when you can look that high.

I agree, it adds that bit of crease near the top you get from implants.  I don't know who she is, but I'd appreciate a name so I can do a text search on the news group.

Gianna.  Also credited as Gianna Michaels.

Just for the articles, right?

Also "Becky" on FTV girls, which is based here in Arizona, owned by a friend of a friend.

No, I haven't used the hookup.  No, I don't plan to.  No, I don't think it would work.

It's almost creepy that you would have such information at hand...

Welcome to the internet. It has lots of stuff.

At one hand anyway.  The other one is usually occupied when doing this kind of research.

<shrug>  Guy was talking about net porn and mentioned FTV Girls and how he knows the owner.

In my voyages across the seven internets, I've come across the site's preview a few times.

FTV is pretty prominent if you go looking for free pr0n. I've stumbled across it a few times during intensive research sabbaticals.

I have found what it is.  I present to you my new toy:

I was so pissed that I didn't have any suitable images in my stash of anime-related avatar images for other forums where I change avatars weekly, there are enough robot-girls in various shows I've watched you would think I'd have something...

That's my new Taito Egret II, with the monitor panel down.

Here is is with the monitor panel open. On each corner of the monitor is a bolt I can remove, after which the monitor glides to the right into Tate position for shooters. It's pretty freaking magnificent. If only I could afford shooters after getting the cab.

Inside of the control panel. Amazing how clean it is considering the age of the unit.

Yen slot. While working, we obviously did not go get a big bag of 100Y coins. Though, eventually, it wouldn't shock me if we got drunk one day and decided this was a "swell idea."

Glamour shot of Samurai Showdown II. The monitor has absolutely no burn in, and is crisp as can be. Also, it's 29 inches.

And finally, for Velorath and the rest of the comic book fans. If you didn't know, candy cabinets in Japan - especially ones that house Taito, SNK, and Capcom stuff (competitive games), have a glass slot, behind which you put a crib sheet for controls, moves, and character descriptions. While I have one of these for SVC Chaos, it just didn't make sense to use since I can put anything in it. As such, we felt this was appropriate.

Special thanks to Cory (the Hot Dog salesman from last week), who decided he wanted a cab the same time as me, as such, we split costs on both, making it possible to purchase.

And for those of you wondering, yes, the cabs will play heavily into my piece on replayability and lack thereof in console games.

Ok, I thought it might just be Cheddars pic (what with what looks like a massive fucking cold sore on her lip) so I did a wee Google image search on the lass.

You would pass her in the street.  She's fucking plain.  The only reason the lizard bit of your brain gives a fuck is because she gets her tits out and looks like a filthy wee tart that'd do the business.

Which is fine.

If you type her name into google and go to her website it has links at the bottom to other women who are I'm guessing in the same company. Some of them have breasts that are grotesquely large and out of proportion to their bodies.

I can't figure out how you feel about that.

Probably with both hands.

Like Marconi working both radio dials, my son.

Most girls with huge real boobs who get involved in porn aren't that gorgeous in the face area.

In other news, most monkeys trained in ninjutsu don't also turn to a life of piracy.  At best, it's very rare.

Schild, can you further explain the "sliding monitor" thing? I don't even see anywhere for that monitor to slide 'to the right'. Why would you even need to move it for a shooter anyway?

I think he means the surface of the monitor can angle back more to lower the viewing angle. So it's actually a tilting backwards.

Look at the bottom 3 pictures (http://www.zax.com.au/egret2.html).

I meant the monitor actually spins. New shooters have a vertical arrangement, while most other genres and old shooters are horizontal.

He meant "rotating" monitor (though you have to slide before you can rotate it). Shooters like Galaga are typically setup in "portrait" mode.

Edit: oops dup

Oh, neat.

GDC in smileis

Can we get a key to your smiley legend later?

I can't honestly say I even remember posting that, so I'm betting:

 :-D :-D :-D :-D is the CCP party
 :-( is leaving right before last call
 :-) is the subsequent Gamecock party

And not pictured is mumbling about freedom of the press to a Tunisian cabbie on the way home.

Does it vibrate?

Any pictures?  :evil:

God I hope not, but there were lots of people with cameras/phones around the whip rack.
