Joshua Henderson is a young boy, and he plays the silver ball. At a time when most of his contemporaries would probably rather play games on high-tech consoles like the PlayStation 3, Henderson is an expert in a shrinking breed of gaming: pinball.

What if there was a good game show about video games. A GOOD one, not like “Video Power” (meh) or Nick Arcade (awful!). What I’m saying is, what if something like Starcade came back and they used retro video games and the first game played was Mega Man 1 for the ca$h and prizes.
I imagine the theme song might go a little something like this.
I also imagine that the cast of RetroforceGo might have to be banned from the show since they would probably own everyone’s asses.
Or maybe they could host the show…Come to think of it “RetroforceGo” is a great name for a retro video game game show. (hmmm….) Oh well, time for more Orange Box.
Please don’t mind me…I’m just a little random sometimes.

The location: 80 New County Road Saco, Maine 04072
Entry is $40.00 per person in advance for all events. $45.00 at the door. Entry includes a commemorative T -Shirt. See [url=http://www.nepinball.com]the PIN-MAINE-IA web site[/url] for details and how to sign up.
(If you don’t want to enter the Tournament, $15 gets you FREE PLAY on all the machines all weekend!)

The dates: June 27th - 29th 2008.
Friday Evening: 4:00 P.M. - 11:00 P.M. The Team Tournament
Saturday: 10:00 A.M. - 11:00 P.M. The Main Event. A non-elimination, individual multi-round tournament. The New England Championship.

This is the 2nd year of the tournament, and we have the use of a much larger facility, 2000 sf, with ample parking and easier access from the Maine Turnpike. Last year was a huge success, with a strong field of 40 entrants in the main event and over 75 people in attendance over the 3 days. We had players from all over the country, including the reigning New England Champ, Chris Wamsley from Ohio. This year promises to be even better.
Hope to see you there.

The Gamer Overthinker gives an eloquent and very thought out opinion on some of the roles of female characters in video games. For example: The “rescuing the princess” theme.
