Backseat Gaming

We've all done it. It doesn't matter what the game is, when we see someone playing a game that we might have some knowledge of, we can't resist kibitzing. I myself, am guilty of trying to help my wife when she is playing solitaire - yeah, that game you are supposed to play by yourself. I don't know why it is that we have this uncontrollable urge to offer advice where it is not wanted. And let's be fair, if someone wants help, they'll ask for it. Otherwise, find a book to read, leave them alone and let them game in peace.

Arcade Update - Let there be light
Well, I was all set to show you the new interface I had designed to great users to the game cabinet when they chose a game. It would've looked great. But Photoshop mysteriously vanished and took my work with it. Thanks, Adobe!! However, I do have one other minor accomplishment. I successfully connected up the backlight unit (had to replace an eighty cent starter) so the marquee will show in brilliant glory when it arrives. Yeah, we gotta take our successes where we can get them.
