There's not much to add. Hopefully I can contain myself when "Chubby" shows up, though I have a lot of respect for a guy whose nickname is "Chubby".

What if that's his given name?

It is possible - if not ironic - I know others who would fit this category. A friend of mine with a bit of a nervous tick named Bob. A DNA crime investigator who lives across the street named Gene. A complete asshole I know named Dick. But for my money, this would be the most ironic name of all if you are right. We shall see.

Maybe it's one of those oh so funny reverse nickname things, like a 6'10 guy called Shorty, a 4'5 guy called stretch, and an anorexic midget called Chubby.

Maybe this guy was a pedophile unable to communicate clearly and was really asking for Raj to hold his chubby as a game. (sounds much funnier after 6 or 7 of your favorite beverages)

What game is it?

My guess would be Ms. Pac-Man. Though, that may have just been me. :D

Chubby came back today.

The game we were holding for him was Pac-Man World for the PS1. He also picked up Midway Arcade Classics (the one with Paperboy) and a memory card today. He was, in fact, chubby. I told him that I respect anyone whose nickname is "chubby" and gave him a 10% discount.

That Midway collection is perhaps the best one that Digital Eclipse has done in terms of solid emulation (as well as game selection) ... the only drawback is that it doesn't work on a PS2! :puppydogeyes:

(I hope chubby was planning on running it on a PS1! Or a PS3!)

I just finished testing it on a PS3. Thankfully Sony improved their PS1 emulation for the PS3 ...

all the games work, and the graphics look pretty perfect for everything with the exception of Paperboy...which is playable, nothing is garbled BUT it does seem to suffer from some sort of bi-linear filtering effect.

This may be the result of my PS3 running in 1080 mode ... and I didn't try dropping the resolution, but overall the game is now functional where it simply wouldn't load or play correctly on a PS2.

Nicely done. A customer with good taste and possibly a return customer with how you helped him! :)
