The second distraction, totally awesome and fitting within my love of old games, is the download and expansion of my Game Room on Xbox Live. For those of you unfamiliar with this program, it is a virtual space, modeled after a retro arcade, where you can buy old Konami arcade, Atari 2600, and Intellivision games, and install their arcade likenesses into this space. You can also buy mascots from the games that float around inside your game room looking totally pimped out and awesome. Any friends on your Xbox Live account appear as patrons in your arcade, and if they decide to download the free program and expansions, they can visit your arcade and see how you have designed it. My room is starting to look fairly active, as I have the bottom floor completely decked out in themed rooms, while the second floor has two rooms according to game system.
Despite these distractions, I still hope to continue with Game Nostalgia Friday tomorrow, but I have decided to review a tabletop roleplaying game instead of another video game. While I will not divulge the identity of the game, I hope that you will find it most enlightening.
