Sorry, but Dig Dug costs a little more

I couldn't help but link to this. You can pay someone in China 25 cents an hour to play video games for you. I wonder what the going rate is for sitting on your ass watching TV is?

I never liked video games, so maybe I don't get it, but isn't the point of playing video games to have fun? The idea is that you can pay for someone to get through the first levels of different games, so then you can play the upper levels without doing the work to get through the lower ones. That is delightfully American. We are too lazy to have our own fun, but clever enough to figure out how to get it outsourced.

Dig Dug was the best video game ever.

Can you imagine the people who are outsourcing their video gaming. The combination of having too much money, being that into video games and wanting the status of getting to X in some video game is tragic.

That said, Dig Dug is really cool.

I remember you and Matt B. maybe, playing Zelda and nearly killing someone (Charles?) for walking in front of the screen. It was chilling the power of that game.
