(Thanks to Joe J. for the tip) This was the second time I’ve attended IAAPA and both times I have noticed something – each time I have walked away with a nagging feeling that I probably missed something. It wasn’t for a lack of trying – I don’t know how many times I wandered »

The past few days have been a news desert for arcades and so far today isn’t looking any different although I did find some interest in this story about Toshiba’s development of a new TV set technology that finally allows the viewer to watch stereoscopic 3D content without the aid of glasses.
