You must be this small to play

As a nipper I remember looking up to a big thing with things that looked like bears that had been dipped into black paint, I am of course referring to the classic known as Space Invaders.
I remember standing on a small stool(Not as in shite as that would not make much height difference and make my shoes smell) and then pushing in a ten pence into the coin slot (where can you do that now and still get a game ?) then starting to play only to die quite fast (I didnt know what to do).
Time past (a few weeks) and I was finaly able to reach the controlls and so I was finaly able to play the game unaided, BUT ! I kept growing (or they started shrinking) and so a new problem started I was geting to tall to play any of the arcade games with out becomein a hunchback I tryed to use the stool mentioned earlyer but I could not ballance it on it.
So theres a new prob, I am too tall to play this is a major prob with Konamis nackering "Fighting Maina" where I cant reach the bottom pads.
So now im stuck.
Im too tall
What do I do ?
Cut my legs off so im not as tall ?
Or give up ?
Maybe that is one of the reasions why the arcades are disapireing ?

Its been a long days night (and ive been gamein like a freak)

All nighters the fault of many a RPG (thats Role Playing Game)
The act of staying up all night can be blamed on them or any game for that matter but for me its these long as heck RPGs (Disgaea is one of the main problems)
I blame the bad use of save points of lack there of, The ill just level up this guy temptation, The random battles (Ok this is not the case in Disgaea)
Thank fully I dont have anything to do most days (Havein no job has its up sides)
But there comes a time when you have to put the pad down and say "Thats all" or else you might fall a sleep at the pad (This has happened to me) then find out that your time playing has gone up by a few hours

Well I have just done anther all nighter but instead of going to bed ive got to go places
