A 23-year-old in Clemson, S.C., was recently hospitalized because he was hit by an SUV attempting to play a real-life version of Frogger, a la Seinfeld. Click here to read the story.
I find this to be an unbelievable news story, but not because he got hit. What I want to know is, who are these 23 year olds who like Frogger? We see a lot of early 20 somethings walk through the door begging for directions to the Tekken and Street Fighter machines - to date, I've never seen one jonesing for a game of Frogger, or any classic game for that matter. They don't know what they're missing!

New DK High Scores...Hours Update
Hello and Happy Holidays!
As 2010 is winding down, our scoreboard is heating up...Check out Randy Y's (YEG) newest update to the High Score board - upping his own existing score to an impressive 505,200!
Also, as Shawn and I will both be away from our "day jobs" this week (and in light of the holiday schedule) we have some flexibility in our hours. We will be open on Thursday, December 30 from 6-10 pm and Saturday, January 1 from 2-10 pm. If you're thinking of visiting Burlington and doing some gaming on another night, give us a ring (609-396-3083) and we just might be open! Hope to see you!

New High Scores
Wow! Took a little hiatus from posting lately, sorry about that. In the meantime, while I was being lazy, people were blazing their names onto the High Scores Board.
First off, Randy Y. handily brought down Mike W's place for Donkey Kong with an outstanding score of 334, 300.
But don't cry for Mike W...he came around and set scores for Do! Run Run (102,250), Mario Bros. (95,510), and Frogger (15,770). Neighborhood gamer Stacey gets to see his name on the big board for a score of 102,250 for Mr Do!
In other news...we're looking forward to Richie Knucklez December 11 Tronoff event. Check it out here. High Scores will be there and we welcome gamers to come around on Sunday, December 12 to check out our games...and play more Tron if you didn't get enough!!
