Arcade1Up: Asteroids

vusleeper December 11, 2018

So, I accidentally bought my second Arcade1Up, an Atari's Asteroids machine. Of all the cabinets that Arcade1Up released, this was my least desirable. I recognized that these games are important, but these games (Asteroids, Major Havoc, Lunar Lander, and Tempest) were just really way before my time. In fact, when I was going to the arcades, I never saw these (and if they were there, I never played them).

With China’s Singles’ Day (or 光棍节 / Guanggun Jie) (11/11) here and United States’ Black Friday (11/22) coming up, we’re seeing huge savings on products across the board. While most of these items won't be on sale until the set dates, some retailers are already slashing prices this week in celebration.

Weekend Gamer: Gamer Unlock and StarCraft II

I recently signed up for Best Buy’s Gamers Unlocked membership, which costs $30 for two years. This is a similar program to GameStop’s Elite Pro Membership ($30 a year), only Best Buy’s program is more appealing thanks to its 20% off all new games (GameStop’s discount only applies to used games) and cheaper membership pricing.

Acer's 32" ER Widescreen LED Monito

Site Update: August 2017

Anyway, I actually went to Micro Center, hoping to pick up a used Samsung curved monitor, but the person working there couldn't locate it. So I wandered around and spotted another monitor in my price range: Acer's 32" ER Widescreen LED Monitor for $199. I was already quite happy with the cheap 27" Acer monitor from December 2014 (also for $199)... so getting the same brand made a lot of sense to me. According to the details, the new 32" monitor is faster at 4ms vs the old 27" monitor, which lists 6ms. For video gaming, you want a lower response time.

New Lens (05 September 2015)

Site Update: September 2015

vusleeper September 7, 2015

It's been really slow here, thanks to the holiday (Labor Day). With the extra-long weekend, I'm just catching up on some video games that I bought last month, but have not had a chance to play. Currently not enjoying The Elder Scrolls Online on the PS4. This game is just ugly, and not as good as their previous offline game Elder Scrolls: Skyrim. Personally, I think the ESO should be played offline, I don't see the benefit of it being online at all.
