Agree with some of the other reviewers that the narrator's tendency to whine, while part of the story, could get a little annoying at times. A sometimes funny and often sad book about the expectations we have of our parents and our inability to let things go

you guys, this writer thinks that talking shit about Tears for Fears and Wham! and Stacey Q will show me that he is a discerning audiophile. you guys, he makes sure we know that he knows that kim deal is the Hottest Female Alternative Rocker or something. you guys, help me.

why do david lee roth-loyal boys get so much airtime? this uppity bro thinks he can make me laugh? (like making jokes about ibiza and mardi gras and hookers that bill maher would reject as being stale will somehow hide rather than reveal the writer's essential mundane dorkdom?) thinks he can tell me about moz&marr? (unintentional comedy doesnt count.) thinks he has evidence that riot grrl was embarrassing because it was led by "unappealing harpies"? (i cant get into the shit with saying michiganders believe new yorkers to be "lox eating money grabbers" because i cant unpack that many layers of ignorance right now if i am to enjoy any part of my day off.)

this book was written by a homely pile of crap van halen dude who thinks we are all as gross as he is inside. as a person who has brothers and a father, i am offended.

This is a fun, nostalgic (for me) book of the arcade era of video games, starting with some of the earliest cabinet games in the 1970's and going through to about 1985. Most games get a one - two page of text detail with several color pictures.

There are also several interviews with industry leaders, tangential players, and people that have been involved with video game culture.

This book is a quick, fun book to read and explore.

Obnoxious, adolescent, and smug. Even when I agreed with him or was interested in the bands he was talking about, the tone was just so irritating. The worst offense, though, would have to be how any reference to a female musician was directly or indirectly about the way she looked. Every one. Grow up.
