Craigslist is quite simply an awesome place. I called originally about a Ms. Pac for $300 in decent condition and by the time I got there he had sold it. However, there was a un-working Pac-Man console that I got for the bargain price of $100. My seller was also kind enough to throw in a new Pac-Man Controller, a Ms. Pac controller, a Pac man plus marquee and a Ms. Pac Marquee, in addition to letting me keep the old Pac controller board.

So my restoration project has begun. I had the board repair and a 4-in-1 mod (that way Mr. & Ms Pac could be together again) done by a very cool guy named Peter from New Hampshire. He was awesome to work with and took lots of time to help me understand the arcade world a bit better.  I would love to learn to do it myself but I figured I needed to crawl before I walked… or something like that. It needs some minor repair and cosmetic work still, but that should be less than $50 total. I bought new molding and leg levelers from arcadeshop.com.  I also bought Pac-Man marquee off of eBay though it’s no where near as cool as Jason Cipriano’s signed Pac-Man Merquee, I suppose we can get everything we want.

Either way, here is a picture of my baby, on the day we brought it home. The garage is much cleaner now so I can walk to the game without inflicting bodily harm upon myself.

And for those of you not awesome enough to have a Pac-Man console to play at will I give you the of flash version of Pac-Man to play online.

From ZachBraff.com:

I’ve also been stalling to talk about some big Scrubs news, however I’ve just been informed that I’m not allowed to talk about anything related to Scrubs and it’s current fate. What I can tell you is that we are currently shooting 18 episodes for the 8th season. I am not allowed to discuss where one might watch them. (More news to come.)
But I can tell you that the coolest episode we’ve ever done is going to air on May 8th at 8:30(E/P). I directed it and it’s a GIANT homage to “The Princess Bride”. Dr. Cox has to make up a fairy tale for his son and he does so using everything that happened in the hospital that day. It’s by far the most epic (and expensive) episode we’ve ever done. (Monsters, potions, evil wizards, giants, hunchbacks, gnomes – like “World of Warcraft”, but Scrubs…)
I’ll be posting an exclusive clip on this site in a few days.

Did you hear that! It’s honestly difficult to tell which is more exciting! Don’t get me wrong, the chance that Scrubs will be around for a Season 8 (regardless or where) is truly awesome. However… the princess Bride is quite possibly the greatest movie ever made! I may even wear my fabulous Inigo Montoya shirt for the occasion.

In honor of such an amazing even I have reopened the Favorite Princess Bride Character poll temporarily. Vote while you can and don’t miss out on this episode of Scrubs called My Princess.

Update:

Here are some links about the episode that you might enjoy. It looks extremely interesting!
