I wonder what Daria's thoughts would be on the recent articles on the 25 Smartest Moments and Gaming and Dumbest Moments....... After all, she fancies herself a good player (At whatever the hell Cyber-Cron is), surely she'd have experienced some gaming history herself?

Thoughts?

Plus to keep this on-topic, after watching "The New Kid" I gotta ask: How many here actually have local arcades with V.R. worlds (Complete with headsets)?

CyberKron seems like a first-person shooter. She also likes Cannibal Fragfest which also sounds like...a first-person shooter. I wouldn't be surprised if CyberKron was actually Quake or Unreal Tournament, and Cannibal Fragfest was something like The House Of The Dead.

Quick explanation: they probably wanted to do a CGI sequence and came up with the VR "Throne Room" as their excuse.

Actually there was a point where there were a few VR console games back in the early 1990s. Of course, they looked pretty damn crappy and the play mechanics were horrible, so they died out pretty quickly.
