I like video games. I don't think I've done a good job hiding it (not that I've really tried). One issue I've had is finding a physical store where I can buy used old games. I don't mind buying them from Amazon and Ebay, but there's something special about walking into a brick and mortar store and chatting with someone who loves the product so much they're trying to make a living off of it.
I finally found one called Lost Ark in Greensboro because of Jeff, the guy I'm pictured with. I was asking on arstechnica.com about local video game stores and this guy popped up with an answer. Lost Ark was having a pinball tournament this past weekend so we decided to meet there.
All in all this wasn't a tough project once I got started. I wasn't comfortable just meeting someone at a restaurant or something, but a store in Greensboro where we weren't forced to sit across from each other was perfect.
He's much better at pinball than me, but I did better at House of the Dead.
