Wikipedia is like my Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I don't go anywhere without it  - and a good towel of course.

Well, I played some Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask, but I never did play anything with my neices and nephews or in the car on the way up and back. I watched my Mom play Suduko and some card game on her iPad. I'm still too hung up on gaming being a thing for kids to play around family.

He he. Accents are fun.

I went all over the place today looking for SMTIV but all I found was the $50 edition with the book. Apparently the $40 version is coming in a week according to the Gamestop guy I spoke to. I think I'll wait. I'm a fan of SMT but not a super fan.

Yea, modern ads are so uncreative. They just show the main character in some action pose with the game's name over top. Dull dull dull.

Maybe you had a past life in '84? One in which you were a grumpy old man cussin' the kids for playin' their newfangled TV games. Or maybe you were an arcade owner who was an ex-video game designer. Ex because your chief rival stole your games and then fired you. So you hacked into the company's computer, only to be digitized by the Master Control Program... wait... that's Tron ('82).

I miss the mall arcades too. There's a Dave & Busters in mall near me, but it's not quite the same thing. They don't have the games I want to play either.

Nice! I know I must've seen that cabinet in the Mall arcades. They had so many games there. I guess I played Donkey Kong ('81), then Donkey Kong Jr. ('82) and then missed out on Mario Bros. ('83). Maybe since that was the year I got my driver's liscense, I stopped playing kid's games and grew up. Ha ha ha ha! Seriously, I crack me up sometimes.

Yea, I was a sports nut, playing a lot of Baseball and Tennis. Somehow I found the time to bike down to the arcades in the Mall and play Wizardry on Sundays however. 

The C64 was apparently a very cool PC to have. I guess if I had been interested in computers in school back then, I might have encountered one, but I wasn't, and so I've never used one.
