upper case training center to open

Sep 10, 2006 upper case link
for immediate release

today, the coalition of itan faces many challenges. the recent annihilation of [scar] has caused a fragmentation of serco forces and has multiplied the diversity of their attacks. though the serco forces are still weak and disorganized, [itan] wants to make sure it doesn't fall beind in terms of team work and resolve.

for this reason, council upper case has acquired a new training simulator for the noobs.

"yeah, i really couldn't resist this offer and it's great: kids around this dock are like man! you're the absolute coolest dad ever!" said upper case in a phone interview.

Damn. I saw the title and thought you'd gone off to camp and learned to use the shift key.

No. WAY!

Did you obtain one of these in real life?
If so, give yourself +20 points on the geek test on this thread elsewhere.
Sep 10, 2006 upper case link
yes.

i bought it from a friend who's a +40 point. he just got himself a 3rd pinball (st:tng, pristine condition) and didn't have enough room for his 4th that is on it's way. so, i bought him his sw pinball before he put it on sale.

his johnny mnemonic will go too, because he really has room for only 2.

i just couldn't let that pinball leave town!

the r2d2 in there is a 3d model with spinning head and all. there's also a rotating half-globe that is the death star. sounds, animation and voice-overs from the movie. it's really a nice machine. the playfield is in mint condition though the blue casing needs a bit of touch-ups (wich i plan to do this week).
