I'm still wondering why when I have my hotmail filter set to "exclusive" (only recieve from those in my address book, which contains 10 addresses), I continue to get loads of spam each day in my inbox, including some very embarassing things that would cause my mom to faint if she walked in.
Take Gauntlet Legends for example. When it came out at my neighborhood pizza shack I couldn't stop playing it. It was.50 to start and.25 to buy more health, but alas, it came out for the N64/Dreamcast. I immediatly forked over my 40 bucks for the game and found out that hey, as the developers intended it, your health DOESN'T go down when your just standing still. And whats THIS? Your actually supposed to collect these RUNE thingies?
My point is that arcades saw their day in the late 80's, early 90's, but today, they cut corners everywhere in the arcades to get people to spend more money on them. They already destroyed their own fanbase, and now the geniuses over at Microsoft have found another way to flush a couple bil down the crapper.

I work at a large retail company in the electronics department during the school year to pay fer my insurance/weekly Nvidea upgrades, and our Xbox overheats about.. once every two minutes. We have the repairman on speed dial and the only thing he ever does is replaces the overheated box. We just got a new one in, and within two hours... BANG! I thought I'd have to grab a fire extinguisher. Apparently some kid tried to beat our demo of Panzer Dragoon Orta 30 times in a row.

'arcade titles influence the kind of console games that fans buy'
WHAT?!
You mean... people don't WANT to go out and pay a dollar a game at Scandia Funcenter for Sega GT Rally?! Madness I tell you!
It is populated by yellow, globulous aliens that live off their own flatulence...
