In honor of the Dreamcast's 10th anniversary yesterday I went down to the basement and hugged my little console, smiled wistfully at the likes of Jet Grind Radio and Shenmue, looked at the little Virtual Memory Unit thingos you could put into your controller and take out to play Tamagotchi-like games if you had Sonic Adventure (and which beep like mad when their batteries are dead and you turn the console on.)

Then I went upstairs to play a rock and roll video game which would have been impossible ten years ago. I miss that little DC like nobody's business, but we've come quite a ways since.

I am officially un-embalming my DC and enshrining it as a permanent addition to my computer desk as soon as I get my new PC, new monitor, and a VGA box so's I can hook it up.

Modern technology is nice but sometimes you just gotta play Rez 'til your eyeballs bleed.

sometimes you just gotta play Rez 'til your eyeballs bleed.

That's what Xbox Live Arcade and RezHD are for. Well, for me at least.

But yeah, I totally know what you mean about playing til the eyeballs fall out.
