You might be wondering why I am bringing this up as the names of these companies don’t sound familiar, but it is arcade related. Some time ago a company called Immersion Corporation signed an agreement with GlobalVR to put their force feedback technology into games like NASCAR and Blazing Angels. From what I have »

So I spent all day at my arcade working on getting things ready – fortunately I was able to fix the Tokyo Drift monitors thanks to a tip on the KLOV forums. It turns out that the pin for the sync was in the wrong pinout for these particular monitors – I moved it »

June 6, 2008, 1 Comment on "Caribounga!" – Play Mechanix hosting online tournament with BBHPro

[Via Betson] Fortunately it seems that not everyone on the development side of the industry thinks that it’s all down the tubes. Take Play Mechanix for example – not only have they created a very popular game, they hold constant competitions for it and they market the game far more aggressively than any other »

May 27, 2008, 9 Comments on Poll: Would you rather play Street Fighter IV in arcades or on a console @ home?

It’s pretty straight-forward – where would you like to play Street Fighter IV? At the arcade where you can show off your mad skillz for people to gawk at or at home by yourself (or showing off online where most people will never meet you in person)? OK, I am showing my arcade bias »
