Though it is a bit later in the month than I usually post these numbers, the Amusement Journal website has updated their February - March list for the top performing arcade games over the course of the last month. The survey is taken from a select group of arcades who are then polled and quizzed based on revenue earners and plays at the location.Tekken 6 sits pretty on the top of the list. I'm not expecting this to change much in either the Arcadia magazine list or future Amusement Journal reports. For all intents and purposes, the game has been performing at a level that I would assume at least meets the expectations with some sources (such as The Stinger Report) going as far as saying that it is breaking most expectations and exceeding even some previous tracking highs.

For all you culture vultures, I've got a real gem today. According to my friend, it's the hottest thing on the internets these days. But first, a little quiz:Do you buy organic food?Do you want or own a hybrid car?Do you totally dig Michel Gondry films?Have you had Difficult Breakups?Do you eat Expensive Sandwiches?If so, according to Stuff White People Like, you may well be a white person! Keep in mind that my dear friend (as pale-faced as I) told me about this site this morning when we were eating overpriced crepes at a local farmer's market and discussing hybrid cars, having just purchased organic vegetables and done 90 minutes of yoga.

The second day results from Amusement Journal's AOU 2008 polling have been posted on the Amusement Journal website. The top game should not come to anyone's surprise (Street Fighter IV), however it is interesting to note that there was quite a bit of movement among some of the other titles. Based on the results, it seems that most of the fightings game faired better on the public day than on the business day, as Basara X, BlazBlue, and King of Fighters '98 all moved up in the rankings. The polling breakdown among the top 5 games also had a much closer spread than day 1 where the deviation had a bit of a decline.Top 10 Arcade games of AOU 2008(Full list for day 2 is available on the link above)1.

Amusement Journal has already posted the first day poll results for AOU 2008. It's readily apparent that Street Fighter IV stole day one at the show dwarfing the other games by an almost 2:1 margin (I can't help but think though that had King of Fighters XII been playable, Street Fighter IV may have been met with some bitter competition). Amusement Journal points out that with Capcom's hopes that a new era of fighting games may be hitting very close to the truth, it was a bit cocerning to see almost half of the arcade games pulled comprised of vs. fighting releases. Titles may be a dime a dozen, but is the market ready to sustain all the new releases?Top 10 Arcade games of AOU 2008(full list for Day 1 is available at the above link).1.

First the revulsion: Hillary Clinton gushing about Warren Buffett being her "favorite billionaire." Ranting to a cheering crowd of 500 about how the tax code is tilted toward the rich, the populist candidate with mansions in Washington and Chappaqua cited a survey Buffett took suggesting that while he pays only 17% of his income in taxes, his secretaries and middle managers pay 25% to 30%. If Buffett (the outspoken champion of the Draconian and redundant estate tax) finds this so scandalous, perhaps he should just voluntarily pay in more. There probably are no instances of a taxing authority, whether the Feds or states, turning down monies not owed by a taxpayer that he insists on paying.Or he can just give his employees healthy raises, so that while they will continue to pay a higher pe

During that whole Cultural revolution / “Isn’t being Communist the best!” phase that China went through in the olden times, I bet they had statues of Mao everywhere. I’ll bet it was a statue-fest, a totem carnival, an icon-if-u-likem, a Mao-a-rama. These days though, no-one cares much for plaster busts of slightly dubious historical figures, so what do you do with the left-over statues? Mao lives on Meh- just stick a sheet over it, and use it in an Amusement Park’s Ghosthouse. Unsurpisingly, JinJiang Park is a rich vein of badly translated English- it doesn’t bother me, and the meaning is pretty much clear what they need, but if Disney opens a theme park here, they should maybe get someone to do the signs that beard knows what they’re talking about: “And no bloody wine empresses neither!“: Source: ISpyShanghai

Powerful lobbyists shield the industry from rigorous regulationWhile part of the joy of amusement park rides is the fake element of risk, a report in today's Washington Post reveals that thrill rides may be outright deadly because there is nearly no effective federal or state safety oversight and industry lobbyists are spending millions to keep it that way.While the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) regulates traveling carnival rides, each state has a patchwork of inspection rules responsible for other thrill rides. On average four people die and thousands more are injured every year, according to federal estimates.At the center of The Post's investigation was the Sizzler, a spinning carnival ride manufactured by Wisdom Industries. Since 1997, the approximately 200 Sizzlers believed to be in operation have killed at least four and injured dozens more.The CPSC, which operates with a stretched budget and shrinking staff, has 90 field investigators responsible for ensuring the s

Young and old enjoy rides offered at amusement parks. And although you might not think so, it truly is one of the safety forms of recreation there is. You are more likely to be hurt riding your bike. So why is that? The physics of amusement parks have a lot to do with it and so do safety practices.Stats show that one in 250 million riders will be killed, and that less than .003% of riders are injured. That’s a very low number! And that number could actually be lower because the number one reason for injury or death is a result of a preventable error. That’s because physics actually keeps you relatively safe while riding the rides.Let’s look at the bumper car. Bumper cars are designed to be able to collide with no danger to the rider. That’s because the cars are surrounded in large rubber bumper pads that diffuse the impact, while the driver is snuggly buckled in with a five point harness. Newton’s’ third law of motion certainly applies to bumper cars. If you don’t know wh

With so many options figuring out which tickets to purchase and how to get the best values is far more complex than planning almost any other trip. Luckily, Orlando Fun Tickets exists and is available to everyone. They off everything you need to prepurchase your tickets to Orlando amusements from Disney World Tickets to discounts for Orlando dinner theaters. If it can be done in Orlando and needs a ticket (and what doesn’t these days), then Orlando Fun Tickets can probably save you money. none

As the real estate sector surges ahead in the country, new formats are being introduced by developers in a bid to offer something new as well as stay afloat in this period of slowdown. One of the more lucrative formats is the concept of new age, world-class amusement parks-cum-malls. There are around 150 parks in India, with 10-15 coming up over the next few years.

This is awesome, in congressional testimony while trying to overturn the Bush veto on children's health care reform, Rep. Pete Stark took several shots at President Bush and Republicans who sided with Bush claiming the country could not afford health care for children, "You (Republicans) don't have money to fund the war or children (health care). But you're going to spend it to blow up innocent people if we can get enough kids to grow old enough for you to send to Iraq to get their heads blown off for the President's amusement."Stark wasn't done, adding, "President Bush's statements about children's health shouldn't be taken anymore seriously than his lies about the war in Iraq. The truth is, Bush just likes to blow things up, in Iraq, in the United States, and in Congress."digg story

So why is that? The physics of amusement parks have a lot to do with it and so do safety practices.Stats show that one in 250 million riders will be killed, and that less than .003% of riders are injured. That’s a very low number! And that number could actually be lower because the number one reason for injury or death is a result of a preventable error. That’s because physics actually keeps you relatively safe while riding the rides.Let’s look at the bumper car. Bumper cars are designed to be able to collide with no danger to the rider. That’s because the cars are surrounded in large rubber bumper pads that diffuse the impact, while the driver is snuggly buckled in with a five point harness. Newton’s’ third law of motion certainly applies to bumper cars. If you don’t know wh
