Theatre of Magic might just be the best pinball table ever made. I have to stick with the XBLA version ;__;

I also hate that gas station. Fun fact: For the past month or so, those awful TVs in the pump have been running a commercial that has my wife's ex-boyfriend in it.

Not cool gas station. Not cool.

Not that I mean to laugh at your plight, but that's an extremely specific complaint, haha.

(I'm sorry.)

You laugh now, but wait til it happens to you!

Ex-boyfriend is on gas station TV yo. What are you appearing on?

TV at a gas station seems really weird to me. You're there for all of 30 seconds, what's the point?

Of course they pull into the gas station right by where I live. I could see my old apartment pass by them.

I never go to that station, ever.

I'll see you guys at CAX B|

I'm too young (23) to have really experienced arcades but I'm old enough to have played a decent amount of the later games and spent a lot of time as a kid wishing I lived near a good arcade, so it's always been like a un-realized dream in my life. That's why I love hearing them talk about this kind of stuff and show off California Extreme.

Ryan looks very old / like Gimli from that angle. Also, holy fuck are those cars going by fast when the camera is fully sideways. Totally different perspective.

I've never played Theatre of Magic so I don't know how it compares --- but I can definitely confirm that Black Knight 2000 is the best pinball I've ever played. I wish I could buy one.

3.55/gal is not cheap, we're just so used to getting fucked that it seems cheap :(

Anyway...good luck getting Tapper!

$3.55/gal IS cheap.

It's currently $1.27/litre here in Nova Scotia, which is $4.76/gal.

Americans always bitch about expensive gas, when theirs is among the cheapest.

Based on a quick search, per capita income for Nova Scotia is about 25% higher than in the US, so it's fairly close to the same % of income for your average person. But I meant in general, not just here in the states...4.76/gal is ridiculous, and so is 3.55/gal.

Maybe I'm just getting old though :) "Back in MY day, gas was under a dollar a gallon! $2 at most!"

It's cheap compared to the $1.25 / Liter that we pay in Eastern Canada. That's $4.73/Gal. And there is even a huge oil & gas refinery in the city where I live. Ridiculous.

Germany: 1.60 EUR / Liter = $1.97 / Liter = $7.46 / Gal.

And we're paying 8.28 $/gal (Denmark).

Yes, gas has become more expensive in the US, but the same goes for most of the world too and it's still pretty hard to find a western country with cheaper gas than the US. They just love complaining about it on the internet and rising gas prices do hit countries that are built on massive gas consumption (laughable general fuel economy, massive distances) harder. It's only going to get worse guys. Maybe a car that weighs less than two tons next time.
