I went to Barcade last night for the first time. In theory this place is enjoyable, but in practice, I am none to good at arcade games. My mind is too one-track-ish. I can handle the shooting at things but am completely oblivious to the things being shot at me. It’s frustrating.

Regardless, I played a game called Rampage, which was described to me as: “You are either a giant monkey or a giant lizard, and the point is to destroy buildings.” Sounds simple enough.

The graphics are … subpar, to say the least.

This game now exists for the Wii, and the monkeys/lizards/buildings look a heluva lot sleeker. And the teeth are a lot pointier.

Anyway, this morning I woke from a dream in which buildings were falling all around me but I didn’t care ‘cause I was on my way to Astroland. So. You know. MEANINGFUL.
