Gotta get these plugs out there...

Last night I went to the pre-opening party for a new bar in Brooklyn: BARCADE! One of the owners is Tim's brother - Tim is the guy who manages our servers here at NG! If you are in the Brooklyn area, be sure to check out Barcade. It's got great atmosphere and tons of arcade games - all from the 80s and only $0.25 to play! It is the best feeling I've had at any bar in a long time. Ross (former NG database guy prior to Liljim) nabbed the high score for DIG DUG. Our friend Bob totally owned Arkanoid. I sucked at everything. I also drank a lot.

Ubisoft sent me one of their latest PC games, a presidential campaign simulator called The Political Machine. You take the roll as campaign manager for a US Presidential nominee. It features all the current characters and issues - strategy game fans and political minded types will learn a lot and have tons of fun playing this!

The gang at Warner Bros. sent me the season 1 DVD for MAD TV. If you've never seen it, you should definitely check it out! If you have seen it, you have probably bought the DVD by now - but if not, go grab a copy! It's one of the best sketch comedy shows out there!

Yeah, I'll do anything for free stuff... But it's all REALLY GOOD free stuff. :)

hey now you're pushing it. Everyone hates MADtv.

Barcade... that sounds cool.
Last time I played Arkanoid, it kicked my ass but good.

Cool bar, but I am a minor. I probably could mop the floor on the arcade games though.

I rented the best of him yesterday night. And its not that great quite frankly :o
In fact you can see most of the same sketches in the "SNL 25 year special" DVD.

Will Ferrel and Mike Myers are the best though.
I still need to rent Will Ferrel 1 and Christopher Walken though :o

When I went to Ontario there was one in Niagara falls, but it had more modern games. Damn it was great you can get drunk and race, there was even bowling and air hockey.

Barcades should be everywhere man, they are fucking awesome. I mean, it's no fun just sitting there drinking beer and talking all night, nah shit man get drunk and play video games is the way of the future.

A Mad TV DVD? What the hell, Mad TV sucks, it's not one of the funniest sketch comedy shows out there. It's not even funny at all. Oh well, it's cool that it's free though. Oh, and by the way, "Rock-n-Roll-Junkie", your signature pic is really gay. I've seen those steriotypical sigs that are made on Paint which all started with the "Black People" sig (That was the only funny one, and wasn't made on Paint), but c'mon. Dead People? Man, that's just gay.

Ooh, Barcade sounds awesome. What a great idea, lots of beer, lots of 80's arcade games, good atmosphere, sounds perfect. But I don't drink now, and if I did go I would go for the games.

I may have to check that out next time I am in New York.

As for Mad TV, I can't say I am a huge fan. i just don't think it's that funny for some reason, and it's more stupid than actual good humour. I mean, i don't hate it, but i think there is some better stuff out there.

I just saw Mad TV season 1 at FutureShop and picked it up. Great DVD to have!
