I seriously thought that link went to the main page of their gaming section that was just the latest joke headlines, cause that's where I ended up somehow. lol Shows how much I pay attention.
I'll have to listen to the podcast later, but I have thoughts on viewing/reading/listening to things more than once ... in that I get where Kubrick is coming from and mostly agree, but rarely re-visit art I've finished in favor of having more new experiences.
I wish I could have played Red Dead Redemption 2, but the GameFly discs I got stopped downloading in the middle of the "Play" disc. I deleted a bunch of stuff, turned my system off and back on a good couple times, and nothing.
Arkham City is still my least favorite of the Arkham games. Yup. I know. I'm an outlier. lol
We had Tetris on Game Boy, but I always lost and got confused when I was real little, cause I thought the point was to stack the blocks! lol
As an adult, I play Free Tetris online all the time, and it actually comes in handy to get my brain working, to calm me down, etc. Miracle game as far as I am concerned! Not surprised you consider it such a great gift.
The startup GameBoy screen in the video takes me back, as does the music and just everything about the presentation.
I've seen one Crusin' cabinet at a Red Robin in Cedar Hill, TX and otherwise haven't often been into pizza places like Cici's where they'd have stuff like this.
In my current area (Nacogdoches, TX) there are not any arcades in grocery stores that I'm aware of.
Never got to the end, but I've made some pretty sweet scores in this and OutRun thanks to Shenmue and Yakuza.
In OutRun especially, you can tell the original "controller" was a motorcycle set up based on the movement in the game.
When I was growing up, Cruisin' USA would be in place of these games, but either way I miss those machines being everywhere.
I looked up a video to see if I could tell what folk song was playing in the game. I can not.
That's awesome! They released Wind Waker pretty close to my birthday when it came out.
I too am more excited about the Link's Awakening remake than ... well, anything, really. I need to finish Psychonauts.
If you mean all the dark and neon, then no. I also get that vibe, mixed with some obvious Wind Waker from Mr. Cel-Shaded Skeleton.
So now that it's over, what did you think of it? I didn't catch it, but I saw one or two posts about it on Facebook.
