Back to New York / Crazy Penguin Thoughts


Here we go again. My DS Lite is once again making the trip to the big apple for repairs. The left hinge has cracked again, and I really don't know why. I haven't dropped it, and I treat my hardware well, but these things just seem to be defective. The customer service rep assured me that this is an isoltaed problem, abd they may send me a new system. I guess we'll see in a few weeks when I get it back.

I wanted to take a sec to write about Crazy Penguins. This place is awesome. 20 networked Xbox 360s, 2 networked PS3s, 3 Wiis, 20 networked PCs, giant projection screens for games like DDR and Guitar Hero, and a room specifically for retro systems like NES, SNES, and N64. This place really is a gamers paradise. The 360s dominate at this place, and the setup is awesome. A large room with 16 of the 360s, 20" LCDs on the walls for each system, and a comfy chair with surround sound built in and rumble in the chair as well. They have tons of games for all the systems, and at roughly $3 an hour, or $15 for an entire day pass, you can't complain about the price. I'm seriously considering trying to gather a large group to go there together and just spend an entire night there (they're open until 2am!). If anyone's interested, send me an email, and let me know if you could get any of your friends to go too. It really is an awesome place.
