    If you like video games and drinking and live in the greater New York City area, then you owe it to yourself to check out Barcade.  This gaming hot spot is located at 388 Union Avenue in Brooklyn.  It's difficult to put into words the feeling of drinking a fine libation in one hand while having your butt kicked by those terrible little blobs in Pengo.  You'll just have to take my word that it's something pretty special. 

    The bar features a wide slection of beer, lots of open space to stand and drink, and a couple dozen classic arcade cabinets.  The best part? Each game still costs just 25 cents.

  • "All Your Kongregates Are Belong to GameStop"

    As I strolled through GameStop today to pick up my copy of Starcraft II, I didn't see any free flash games fluttering through the air or peeking out at me from behind used copies of God of War III. Normally, it would be pretty odd of me to think to look for free flash games at the giant retail chain, but with the announcement that Kongregate.com has been purchased by GS, my search seems a lot less silly.

    In a video on the site, COO Jim Greer assures us that all is well, nothing will change, and that the '80s were a wonderful and wacky period for American music.  Greer seems positive that the acquisition will only be a good thing for both companies, allowing Kongregate access to GS's far greater resources, and allowing GameStop to build an online presence....
