I recently discovered an album called Modern Gameplay by a group called Sprites. The title track, "Modern Gameplay" is about the superiority of classic gaming over modern. He talks about how much he liked the classic Atari joystick with the single red button. It is a pretty funny song.

Doesn't that already exist as Second Life? It is basically a completely open ended multiplayer environment where people can pay for additional content.

Ever since the podcast where we pondered whether PC gaming is dead, and Chris and Woody brought up how much cheaper PC games are, I have been looking at them in the stores.
