Not counting my PC, I haven’t owned a video game machine since my brothers and I shared a Super Nintendo back in the proverbial day. I must admit that the upcoming Star Wars game The Force Unleashed and BioWare’s forthcoming Mass Effect have me seriously reconsidering that, as soon as the change under my sofa accumulates a heck of a lot more. There’s fodder for a rumination on video games as a new narrative medium here, but other people have covered that ground and I don’t know if I have the mental juice for it at the moment.
Then again, there are always placed like the 1984 Arcade, a place from which Earl has just returned. Check out pictoral evidence of the pilgrimage over at Scribblings.
