Hardware Check! - OnLive Microconsole

So yeah... it's this thing.

So small and yet so hot... LITERALLY!

WellUnreal007 the AUGH-man!

I'm sitting here at work, stuck and slighty frustrated with no ideas in my head and a game review in the works along with another blog post and all I can do for WellUnreal007 is make a blog post about him on his birthday.  In case you don't know who Unreal is, it's this dude.

I'm starting to notice that a lot of us are using this picture a lot.

Hardware Check! - Coming soon...

Also, two exams to go.

Fun times at Gameworks

Good times.

I remember when it was my 17th birthday, where life was somewhat less complex then it became.  I've heard about Gameworks being over at San Antonio, Texas at the Quarry Market.  I immediately made it my mission to hunt this place down on my birthday, and with success, I have found my dream place.  A place where I'm surrounded by arcade machines, just like the times I was little!  I enjoy the arcades!  They may be a great place to pointlessly and even mindlessly waste all your allowance from being a spoiled brathard earned cash from mowing the yard and all other chores for your parents.  I usually play it safe and play the games I know, but this was an exception.  There are not many places that house even pinball machines these days, so I felt compelled to try out as many of their games as I can, win or not!

Hardware Check! - X-Arcade Dual Arcade Stick

I gotta come out of the closet in this one.  I'm a huge arcade nut.  Every time I go into any store, be it a gas station, a pizza buffet, a home decor store, I cannot help but pop in a quarter into one of those machines, trying out whatever games they had.  If it's any by Namco, Capcom, Konami, Nintendo or Sega, you bet your buttocks that I'm jumping on to those games.  I've always wanted to build my own cabinet but I never gotten to it since I never designed the blueprint and have yet to get the funds and the help to get it done, but if I could then Hell to the Yeah I'd get it done!  If there is an arcade cabinet I find left untouched, I'm gonna go touch it, then stick my quarter in it, work the joystick and... oh wait I'm doing a hardware review.
