Yes, I just used that word. Hoopla!

So the only reason I posted this is because I noticed the arcade scene high scores in particular is in the news. I thought I saw a post.

They are disputing and striking high scores. I don't have the real details, sorry.

This falls into "publicity". For me. It's fun to watch. I don't think I obsess in any way over high scores.

In pinball I like to play the four player game. every now and then I get a good score.

Is anyone else watching this though? Perhaps who knows more than I do.

I did look at the Mame emulation comparisons. There are a couple arguments and different players involved.

No publicity is bad publicity?

I am interested in what is going on at arcade expo this year in the donkey kong tournament. Normally I wouldn't care, mostly.

Publicity. Good bad or other we shall see.
