Video Leave a comment

Here’s a “best of” marathon of 6 PS4 gaming videos. We talk about 33 PlayStation 4 Hidden Gems plus 14 Arcade Shoot ‘em Ups and I share some rare developer PS4 game controllers at the end. Tons of great PS4 content here, so check it out! WATCH >> https://youtu.be/qcMCbDIqdws

Why does the PS4 rock? Glad you asked! Released in 2013 by Sony, the PS4 is like that cool, well-dressed guy at a party who knows just how to entertain you and make you feel at home. With a sleek design, powerful hardware, and a library of games that could make a hermit say “social life who?” the PS4 has been a hit among gamers worldwide.*

Key Features:

1. Graphics So Realistic They Could Make Your Grandma Mistake Them for a Soap Opera:
The PS4’s graphics are top-notch, making characters look so real you half expect them to walk out of the screen and ask you for directions.

2. The Controller:
The DualShock 4 controller is ergonomic, responsive, and has a nifty little light on the back. It’s like the Swiss Army knife of game controllers, minus the ability to open a can of beans.

3. Remote Play:
Ever wanted to play PS4 games on the toilet? Well, with Remote Play, your dreams have come true. You can now be a hero in your living room and a villain in the bathroom, seamlessly.

4. Games Galore:
From “God of War” to “Uncharted,” the PS4’s game library is like an all-you-can-eat buffet of digital awesomeness. There’s something for everyone, whether you’re into action, adventure, or just want to play a game where you pretend to be a goat (yes, that’s a real thing).

5. Online Play:
Join a game of “Call of Duty” online and get mercilessly schooled by a 12-year-old who uses words your parents don’t approve of. PS Plus is your ticket to this humbling experience.

6. VR Compatibility:
The PS4’s virtual reality setup lets you strap on a headset and escape reality. Because who needs to deal with real-life problems when you can fend off zombie hordes in VR?

7. Media Center:
It’s not just a gaming console; it’s also a Netflix machine, a YouTube browser, and a place to pretend you’re going to use the fitness apps but never actually do.

The PS4 is like that trusty dog that’s always there for you after a long day, offering you endless entertainment, companionship, and the occasional frustration when things don’t load fast enough. It’s the ultimate gadget for those who believe that reality is overrated and virtual worlds are where the real fun begins.

Video Leave a comment

My standup MAME arcade cabinet was last updated back in 2017! So, today we upgrade the computer, software and add a monitor that can rotate plus other random aspects. The game room is getting upgraded!

The Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator (MAME) is a software program designed to emulate the hardware of arcade game systems on modern computers. Developed in 1997 by Nicola Salmoria and the MAME team, MAME has become the go-to emulator for playing arcade games on platforms ranging from desktop computers to smartphones and even gaming consoles. MAME’s primary purpose is to preserve and document the history of arcade gaming by accurately emulating the original hardware and software of arcade machines. By doing so, MAME allows players to experience a vast library of classic arcade games without the need for original, often rare, arcade cabinets.

MAME supports thousands of arcade games from various manufacturers and eras, ranging from the early days of arcade gaming in the 1970s to more recent titles from the 2000s. Its extensive compatibility and accuracy make it an invaluable tool for enthusiasts, collectors, and historians alike. Beyond gameplay, MAME also serves as a research platform for developers and preservationists, enabling them to study and document the inner workings of arcade hardware and software. Through continuous development and updates, MAME remains a vital part of preserving the rich history and cultural impact of arcade gaming for future generations.

The Nintendo Game Boy Advance (GBA) and the Nintendo 3DS represent two distinct eras in handheld gaming, each offering unique experiences to gamers. Released in 2001, the Game Boy Advance was a groundbreaking handheld console that introduced vibrant 2D graphics and a vast library of games to players. With its compact size and long battery life, the GBA became a beloved companion for gaming on the go. Its library boasted iconic titles such as “Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen,” “The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap,” and “Advance Wars,” captivating players with engaging gameplay and nostalgic charm. The GBA’s simplicity and affordability made it accessible to gamers of all ages, solidifying its place as one of Nintendo’s most successful handheld consoles.

In contrast, the Nintendo 3DS, released in 2011, pushed the boundaries of handheld gaming with its innovative glasses-free 3D display and enhanced graphical capabilities. Building upon the success of its predecessor, the Nintendo DS, the 3DS offered backward compatibility with DS games while introducing new features such as StreetPass and SpotPass, fostering social interaction among players. With its extensive library of games spanning diverse genres and its robust online functionality, including the Nintendo eShop, the 3DS provided gamers with a rich and immersive gaming experience. Titles like “The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D,” “Fire Emblem: Awakening,” and “Animal Crossing: New Leaf” showcased the system’s capabilities, captivating players with compelling narratives and innovative gameplay mechanics. Overall, while the GBA and 3DS catered to different gaming preferences and technological advancements, both left an indelible mark on the handheld gaming landscape, shaping the way we play and experience games on the go.
