History of arcade technology. Be warned, it's in French. Also, Kevin Williams needs to be praised because a lot of my arcade, Experience, and XR stuff is from him.

I would KILL to have the Front Mission games remade so they can be played on PC.
People take on the aesthetics of cowboys when they are off exploring the wild frontier of space? What is so shocking about that (its Leftist, we already know the answer).
Me thinks Top Gear should be more worried about the fact that barely anyone cares about them anymore after they got rid of the Three Stooges.
Well, I guess this means you need to murder someone...
Space as a western is interesting. Serenity was a space western and did it well. My friend Alfred Haus has a great book coming out eventually about a city being made on Mars, and he says it feels western.
Honestly there's only one host since the three left that I've enjoyed. His love of cars shines through better than the others. There are articles from the site that are good, but whoever wrote this was fishing for love. On the other hand, I've been rewatching old Top Gear and realizing I still love it.
