Back in 1981, I could play Asteroids for hours. Just one game for hours. Still, I spent even more time playing MegaMania. I could kill a day with a single game on that one.
I had Asteroids for the 2600, along with ET, Oink, Stampede, and Pac Man. Yup, all the awful games that contributed to the video game crash were bought for 50 cents each from a local Value Village here in Ontario.
" Has there still been no word on what happens when you run out of arcade room? Do you have to purchase a warehouse unit down the road to store your arcade machines until you can sell them at the next big show? "
All of your games are accessible from the "My Collection" menu, so even if your arcade has no space you can still keep buying games, but you have to pick and choose which games to display. However, there are 96 (8 * 4 * 3) slots to place arcade machines, and just a little over 100 games out on the service. Microsoft initially said their goal was to reach the thousands, although their progress was slowed when they went from 7 new releases a week to 5. I doubt they'll be adding the ability to add/purchase new floors for a while, since no sane person owns as many games as there are spots for cabinets.
" Jeff should be given is own personal Game Room patch that adds more floors for arcade machines. "
I'm still waiting for Microsoft to announce pricing details on additional floors for your GameRoom. I am going to guess 400 points for an additional three floors. "
I love how EVERY fucking "High level play" they check out is just a dude standing in one place exploiting eternally spawning enemies. It's kinda silly.

Not really. I bet the game becomes extremely hard later on if you try to fly around. If it's 10 times easier when you don't do something why would you even bother if you want a good score?
Ahhh, remember when games didn't have to have endings, when you couldn't win them you just kept playing and the highest score was the coolest kid? That sure was a... swell? time?
Cop from Jail Break gave me flashbacks of that .gif from some movie or something where a cop drops a gun down his pants and out his fly and shoots dudes by thrusting his hips and then kicks the gun into another dude's face. You know the one.
