Monster Dungeon Fishless Aquarium

When people ask me what I'm thinking about, the answer is nothing. They may say that's impossible, then I would say nothing important. What do they want me to say? 

I'm thinking about a Fishless Aquarium that turns into a monster Dungeon dark ride to distract myself from things that are out of my control. My thoughts don't need to make sense, they don't need to be viable or realistic or logical; we are free to think how we wish. 

I guess I can bring one of my abstract thoughts on here just so people can understand why people don't want to share their thoughts. 

I imagined owning an arcade, but there was some space left over so I would build a fake aquarium, there would be fake glass tank walls and peering ports but there is screens there instead of real fish swimming in it, no real water no real fish, no sea creatures, it is all fake. About halfway during the arcade's trading time the fake aquarium closes. Why? Because it reconfigures itself into a dark ride. The panels with the fake fish tank screens would lift up and attach to the sealing to expose a dungeon theme with anamatronic monsters that move and growl. 

When the fake aquarium is open people would see a slit on middle of the floor, it would have drain written on it, but it's not a drain, it is the guide slot for the ride car bogies, it would house the contact electrodes and steer the ride cars through the space. 

The arcade would be a fixed price venue, you pay £6 and play as much as you like and can go into the fake aquarium and the Monster Dungeon ride that opens later in the day. 

The fun part would be wondering how long it would take before people work out that it is a fake aquarium and the dark ride and aquarium are the same structure. They would think to themselves how can you fit an aquarium and a dark ride in this small arcade. Perhaps the RSPCA would come to make sure I'm taking care of the sea creatures 😂

The purpose of the thought is not to own an unusual arcade, it is to distract my mind so I don't worry about things that are out of my control like if I died prematurely before my son grew up. Things I don't have control of. I am thankful to God for my imagination because it is much better to think about that than my problems at 2 in the morning. 

Little wonders

I like to look new little gaming gadgets online. The new thing to get these days is the Evercade. They have three or four consoles, a hand held, a TV console and a bartop arcade machine. I thing they're very cool. On youTube you can get a very long playlist with different videos about the products. 

At the time of writing this blog, Argos sells many Evercade products including many many of the cartridges. 

I think the TV console is a reasonable price, it can take two cartridges at a time and four controllers. I think every man-cave should have at least one of the Evercade products. The best place to look at new Evercade products is on the Evercade website. 

www.evercade.co.uk (I think they also have an American site. 

Window Shopping Alan Style

Very often I will look through sites that supply stuff for gaming rooms to look at all the stuff they have developed. I will look at the products and then I look them up on YouTube, I will also create a playlist on the watch later temporary folder. Then when I lie down I play through the whole play list. 

Sites that I look at very often is... 

Arcade 1Up, They are cheap self assembly arcade machines with licensed games on them. They are small but have risers to help you play them from a standing position. 

My arcade, Collectable mini working arcade machines and retro consoles. 

At Games, They make a top of the range arcade machine with multiple games. 

Home liesure direct, Everything for the man-cave if you have money to burn. 

Argos, A shopping site that sells some of the products made by those companies. They also have everything a man-cave needs. Pool tables, arcade machines, table tennis, things like that. 

A man-cave liesure room is about sharing, it is about bringing people over and having a happy time being a big kid. That is one of my dreams. 

Happy thoughts forever...
