Christmas Arcade Awesomeness


It's clear that my wife and my step-daughter know me well based on one of the Christmas gifts they went in on for me this year.

The iCade is just what it appears to be, a cabinet and set of old arcade controls for your iPad that lets you play 80's arcade games like Tempest, Asteroids, Gravitar, Lunar Lander in style. This thing is a blast! You still have to buy the games from the AppStore but the pack of 100 games is cheap. Now my biggest problem is finding where to keep the thing. I may finally be forced to clean up my home-office. Hmmmm...perhaps there was a subtle sub-plot involved here that I didn't realize until now....

Anyway, you can read more about it on Ars Technica here.

Enjoy!

Let me know when installation is complete, I have a jar of quarters that need a new home!

Bloody hell... Now I have to buy an iPad. You're corrupting me, sir. My droid may refuse to speak to me for months.
