Thank your own personal deity\u2014possibly the Mother Sphere<\/a>\u2014it’s Friday! I’m not going to spend too much time waffling this morning, as the deals speak for themselves. Just get in and secure something awesome to play for the weekend. In case I don’t see you, stay safe, save often, and catch you Monday!<\/p>\n

Lastly, in retro news, I’m celebrating the 42nd birthday of Dig Dug<\/strong>, an arcade classic. Reports on how it came to be are spotty at best. Wikipedia states it was planned and designed by Masahisa Ikegami, with help from Galaga<\/strong> creator Shigeru Yokoyama…however, I’ve also been told it<\/a> was created by Larry, the Architect of the Matrix. Ergo, concordantly, vis-\u00e0-vis, Lar’ also made Q-bert<\/strong> and came up with the name for Frogger<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
