Sonic baffles me. How do you control something that goes that fast?! I gotta try it again. Maybe I'll get it this time.

My first game was probably this Gran Trak 10 arcade cabinet when I was seven. A big old steering wheel and a top down view. I used to love the snake like track and how the little cars moved around it. My obsession with driving has remained to this day. That's why I am the KNIGHT DRIVER. Don't forget it.

True.

Cool.

I'm trying to keep to this plan of playing through my favorite games before I move on to new stuff. I'm a little sidetracked on Etrian Odyssey Untold's demo right now though.

     What d'ya mean your not gonna let your infant play video games? You don't need a controller anymore. Just put it in front of an IR devise like Kinect and let it play with Cookie Monster in Once Upon a Monster or an iPad on the floor with some sort of finger paint program.

     Sheesh. First thing I'm giving my kid the very second he/she pops out is a GBA Micro. I mean, maybe AS he/she is popping out - can't waste a second with that essential life equipment (man I need to do a drawing of this. The image is so clear in my mind).

I've played Anniversary when it came out, but I traded it. Now that I have it again, I want to go and do a thorough achievement run of it.

I never gave them a thought either, but I was trying everything I could get my hands on for achievements, hoping I'd come across a hidden gem. Cabela's African Safari is pretty good. It's just a third person shooter. It has good controls and the environments are really nice. They are small areas though. Nothing you could roam around in for too long, but you're there to hunt a specific animal and you get to it pretty quickly. It's also not a long game. The developers are all Romanian and they do most of the Cabela's games. They did a good job on African Safari.

I never heard that about the phone charger running a 2600. I think the heavy sixer is basically the same as the others, just with higher quality parts. So it should work.

A lot of the individual games are available to download on current consoles or handhelds. I just love collections and have to have them all. There are a few select games that are only available on these collections. Not too many though.

I've only read Neuromancer and now Snow Crash in that genre. They seem a little off base in their visions of a computer dominated future, but they also seem very appropriate to someone interested in video games like myself, since there's so much high tech and computer stuff mentioned. Every time a cyberpunk hero enters a virtual world in these books, I think of a video game, although Second Life is closer to what they had in mind I think.

My one issue in Dredd was, how did the gang members not know about the Judge's weapon's defense mechanism. That seemed like something they should have known about.

So far, I haven't noticed any long load times with the Vita, but I'll keep an eye on that now you mentioned it.

My first PSP was the 1000 but I cracked the screen by putting it in my backpack. I got the 2000 to replace it and I still have it. 

In looking at the Wiki page I didn't know there was a 3000 model. That looks cool!
