to tie in to my arcade-style article from a couple weeks back, I did a quick write-up of my experiences over the last couple years running private arcade clubs for us to compete and learn games together. if you haven't tried making one, you should give it a shot! link to the article below
first paragraph: I’ve attended MAGFest six times now, and one of my favorite events each year are the tournaments. Regular head-to-head genres tends to monopolize the proceedings – fighting games, action puzzle games, TCGs, etc. – but they also put an emphasis on featuring less common tournament fare, including score-based games! In some cases this may be implemented through simultaneous play (a Typing of the Dead tournament I was in once was structured this way), but for others, the format allows everyone to watch each competitor play through a game superplay-style and mark their scores on a local leaderboard. I loved this concept so much that I started participating in online variants of the same concept with friends over the last two years, and it’s been a rousing success.1 My friends and I have played many more games off the beaten path, gained competency in the “prestige” titles, and explored some score systems that people rarely talk about. Below I’m going to offer a few reasons why an arcade club can be a benefit to your friend group and give some tips on setting it up and maintaining it.

This was my brother's favorite song. I always thought it sucked shit but hey. Actually as a singer myself, I thought the vocals were amateurish and strained and not in a cute way. Bad, sophomoric lyrics. But as I said, it was my brother's favorite so it will always have a special place in my heart. Love you Brian.

flaybobbybeat replies:
lol tell us how you REALLY feel! thanks for the honesty and sorry for your loss.

areaman4 replies:
RIP Brian! he sounds like a rad dude.

ZephyrFire11 says: 
Oh Brian is fine he just has a different favorite song now lol. Thank god.

(I wonder what it is now)

The bunnies sit around the computer, gaming.
DAFFODIL: I don't like what it's done to us but I love this game. Why is it controversial?
ASTER: Polytheism, perhaps. Because it places wit on a higher shelf of esteem than brute strength. Maybe it's opacity.
GRASSY: It's because of a part I think is coming up soon.
IN-GAME LETTER: Solver,
As you’ve turned over my riddles, manipulated my puzzles, and caressed my terrain, you have given me great pleasure. Your footfalls have illuminated my nerves with euphoric currents. Your thoughts echo inside my being, ricocheting off my inner surfaces. I have taken as lovers gods, planets, and ideas. But I would cast any of them aside as a wind-tossed leaf, just for the chance to dance with you once more. 
DAFFODIL: We've been kissing her by clicking rocks.
