I miss arcades. Also, I can whup any of you at Bubble Bobble, Puzzle Bobble and Dig-Dug.

I was a little disappointed in JCVD. It was basically a Dog Day Afternoon remake played pretty straight with a washed-up Van Damme at the center. He gives a pretty sweet fourth wall breaking monologue at the end, though.

I used to be able to kick his ass without being touched when I was a kid. Now I can't even get past Bald Bull.
