It's been a crazy week of E3 2011 postmortems and Duke Nukem Forever debates, but let's step away from those topics and see what else has been going on in the community.
I'm glad to report that this week has been full of original content in terms of art and musical pieces. Also, 1UP members have written telling blogs analyzing the progression of technology in society and fighting games, including a strategic tell-all about choice Pokemon to use in White/Black. There's much more interesting content to catch up on, so check it out for yourself and read on.

Any Arcade Experiences?
Thanks to the internet, it seems as if the age of the arcade has fizzled away. There are a few struggling to survive in and about the USA, but not as many as some gamers would hope for. Share your favorite stories or arcade finds with the rest of the community here.

IN THE BLOGS:
Make a better fighting game, part 1
By BigMex"Since fighting videogames relied almost as much on visuals as on control and mechanics, studios were constantly battling to make their fighting game look completely unlike the competition. Two of the standouts were Primal Rage and Killer Instinct. Both offered completely different takes on the genre."
Technology ? Of the "Dumbing Down" of America
By Ukn0wn3ntity" Sometimes I wonder if technology isn't moving too fast for its own good. Think about it: We have access to information 24/7. We have Internet enabled "smart" phones that allow us to instantaneously find the answer to a question if we don't know it; all you have to do is "Google it" and in less than two seconds you can find what you need. This ability to find out anything you want on the fly never ceases to amaze me, and the ease with which you can get an answer to a question is scary."
Fifth Generation Pokemon
By ckhris-sol-badguy"With the little time I get for gaming, I find myself not being able to get immersed in a grand adventure such as Dragon Age Origins, or even spend a night with some Super Street fighter IV online. Time constraints. As such, I get my gaming fix these days playing a bit of Pokemon Black."
