Neo Geo is what happens when collectards win.  That being said, not a bad article.
Current want list:  TG16 Bomberman 93, SGX 1941

Simon Parkin is a contributing writer for newyorker.com and the author of “Death by Video Game: Danger, Pleasure, and Obsession on the Virtual Frontline.


Way to plug in your video game book. Actually I might look it up to see if it could be a fun read.

I was curious about the book, too.

I don't mind little blurbs (mentioning an author's experience/books) at the end of articles... I think it is a perfectly appropriate way to handle things.

Now, if the article didn't stand on its own and was simply a tease to entice you to buy the book...well, that would be pretty rude :)

It all makes sense now why Shawn sits on his ass all day and plays World of Warcraft.

I like how the idiot blew his 100k inheritance on games and the stock market. Great parenting mom. His dads legacy now lies in some stocks from Starbucks and Magician Lord.
