Classic Video Games
Hi there - I thought I'd drop in and tell you about the store in between the porn store and tattoo shop on 1st street across from the tux shop. My ma and brother are opening up the store tomorrow (11/15). It's all old antique video games and consoles from a time where it was all about gameplay rather than graphics, e.g. NES, SNES, Atari, Lynx, Game Gear, Coleco Telstar, Jaguar, 3DO, etc etc. There are a lot of older systems I haven't even heard of!
Everybody I talk to gets very excited about it. If it stirrs up memories for people the way it does for me going through all these games I think it will be a lot of fun. So go check it out tomorrow! Hang out. Reminisce. GET YOUR GAME BACK!

Have you heard of the artist Cory Arcangel? He makes awesome work out of vintage video games, including "super slow tetris". "super mario clouds" was shown in the 2004 whitney biennial -

Over the weekend, I talked to a kindergartner who was just getting into Batari. He said he could play Matari all day. Katari is kind of a hard game, though, harder than Xbox.

I'm wasn't saying that you shouldn't post - I misread the post and thought it was you and your brother.
Moves back to Duluth and doesn't let me know? *BitchSlap*
