The Death of Arcades

I have really been nostalgic lately and thought of all the good old days when you could go to a mall with a twenty dollar bill and have a great time at an arcade, or better yet when you had a decent nickle arcade in your area. What happened? Why the decline in good arcade games?

I understand that now we have powerful consoles at home and the ability to play online. I do miss however the sense of seeing jaws drop when you finish that combo in a game like Tekken 3, or beating the Simpsons Arcade Game with a single quarter.

Online play is the death of arcades and it is a sad day. The security of remaining a faceless voice by which you can annoy the masses with whatever god awful noise you feel like producing at the time.

That's another reasons why we need arcades. So that those people who are just there to annoy get regulated upon. One they lose money and two no one really takes crap from other people when your precious quarters are at stake.

Bring back arcades. Seriously

Gaming in HD

So I started gaming in HD finally due to an incredible deal at Best Buy. I would like to take a minute to write about how big of a difference this has made and the life changing effects I have been through in the past week.

Gaming in HD has rekindled my love for games. I am no able to game with those fancy next-gen graphics that I have been hearing about forever.

I am able to read text in games now. I didn't even realize how bad this is. Don't ruin your eyesight...game in HD

Gaming in HD is something that all gamers should experience. I realize however, that we all can't afford a new TV as they are expensive, but if you can find a great deal and afford to give out the money...do it, it will change your life.

I got myself a Samsung 32-inch LCD and I am in love. I will say this however, I am now contemplating picking up a PS3 so that I can get a blu-ray player.

Gah! Decisions
