Haven’t gotten too far into it but enjoying it so far. The main character is a real cowboy’s cowboy, so that’s cool.

ME: Oh boy! I just got Red Dead Redemption 2! I can’t wait to play it!
RED DEAD REDEMPTION 2: Please enjoy the next two hours of downloads, updates and installations. Feel free to stay up late to play or just play tomorrow.
Sigh. For a guy from the plug and play generation, this is most annoying.
Check out Rerez’s review:
Hey 3.5 readers. My better half, Video Game Rack Fighter, is off fighting a squadron of flying robot chimps, but she wanted me, BQB to bring this to your attention.
I’ve wanted to become an antique video game machine collector for awhile now. I have fond memories of visiting arcades as a kid and think an arcade cabinet would be a cool show off piece for a nerd cave.
Problem is a) they’re expensive b) you’re pretty much own your own to repair them c) how the heck do you buy one, have them shipped, get the thing into your house and really, it just felt like it’s possible that I’d spend a ton of cash for something that would blow a fuse and become a really fancy coat rack.
A company, Arcade1Up, has apparently realized there’s a demand among nerds like myself. They’re releasing a series of four foot tall arcade cabinets for $300 a pop. Titles so far include Asteroids, Centipede, Rampage, Street Fighter II, Galaga – all available for pre-order now and Final Fight will be available in Spring.
My thoughts:
Ultimately, I have a feeling I’m such a geek I’ll end up getting one. First, why is there no Pac-Man and second, which one should I get? My heart is torn between Rampage or Street Fighter. Rampage will be more fun. Street Fighter more stylish.
That Final Fight looks good too so I could wait. I don’t know if I’ll get one but if I do get one I will only get one. I just don’t have the space to have 50 of these suckers lying around. Just one, as the fun decoration I always wanted and maybe once in a blue moon I’ll get up in the middle of the night, take a poop, play Rampage, go back to bed.
Thoughts?
What is the best video game ever?
I’m asking my 3.5 readers to put their choice in the comments and if they want to, explain why.
The Yeti votes for Tapper. He loves Tapper. So much Tapper.
“Pour the beverage on the right…slide it down to the left…the perfect game to help children develop obsessive compulsive disorder and alcoholism!”
– Tapper, 1983, Game by Bally Midway
Hmmm…well, I suppose for the record, we must note that Tapper apparently did not work in a bar but rather, a soda fountain, where he poured sodas (in case you missed the big “soda” sign.) So, no alcoholism. Just raging caffeine addictions and sugar buzzes.
Dear Loyal Readers,
Due to circumstances beyond my control, book reviews will be on hold for the foreseeable future. Thank you for your understanding. Have a nice day.
“War must be, while we defend our lives against a destroyer who would devour all; but I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend.” – J.R.R. Tolkien, The Two Towers
