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. :)
