While hanging out at the ACAM at Pax East 2012

I had a great experience hanging out at the American Classic Arcade Museum (ACAM). Although I might have been in diapers or probably not even born during the times in which games like Missile Command and Pac Man JR were the Call of Duty and GTA’s of those days, ACAM brings back the memories of the arcade and all the fun around visiting one. Arcades are hard to find these days and hanging out with the people that enjoy being in one was quite a treat.

Up top you can see a short video taken at this year’s American Classic Arcade Museum over at Pax East. The video might bring back some nostalgia especially with the awesome 70′s and 80′s music in the background with songs like Poison – Nothing, but a good good time and Joe Walsh‘s – Life’s been good to me.

Twisted News: The Hosni Mubarak Edition!

Elias — Mon, 31 Jan 2011 09:43:36 +0000

It is obvious that you should know by now that Egypt is a nation in turmoil being that President Dictator, Hosni Mubarak is pretty much being told to get out of the country and leave office. Things are escalating to the point where the death toll is up to 102 people and ancient artifacts in a Museum have been destroyed, and yet that bastard refuses to leave. Our concern on this whole ordeal is that apparently thousands of prisoners have escaped from Egyptian prisons, and although there are some people that were simply put there for saying something against Mubarak, there are the others, who are of the terrorist bomber type of prisoner like the guy smiling in this video.

Speaking to an old Egyptian friend of mines we talked about Mubarak and he was telling me that what Egyptians want is for him to leave and to take his son with him. He went on to say that most Egyptians feared that he would put his son in the president seat, which means that the regime would continue on and no change. I kind of knew a bit of Mubarak, being that my Egyptian friend told me about how bad he has been to his people, so we talked about how he became a president and he told me that Mubarak basically stole the president seat.

While looking at the news it seems like all of Egypt hates Israel, which is kind of sad that the people of these nations can’t come to an agreement and be friends instead of enemies.

Lets hop they sort this out and that Mubarak leaves!
