What's better than playing nostalgic video games from your tweenhood? Playing nostalgic video games from your tweenhood while drinking beer! Ground Kontrol will now quench that higher thirst after 7 pm, and Zach doesn't want you missing these games:

Galaga (1981): "A cross between Centipede and Space Invaders."

Space Duel (1982): "It has really beautiful vector graphics, which are different than TV graphics. You can play two-player with a copilot--one person does the direction and one has to shoot."

Tempest (1981): "The theme is you have to shoot these demons that come out of a black hole. It's easy to learn--you can just whirl the control ball and shoot randomly."

Tetris (1988): "Everybody knows Tetris and you can be lost for hours. It helps develop the spatial areas of the brain and it's good competitively."

Corban Lester
From Cancer Fags

Corban double-duties as the man behind the band Cancer Fags and the DJ at "Soda," which goes down every second Friday at Noir. He's a crowd pleaser, and here are the electro artists that please him:

Phantom/Ghost: "They make songs as though they have goth roots, but it's rather upbeat. The vocals are like Nick Cave but from a German perspective."

Fischerspooner: "They're suddenly underdogs again, but if you give the last album, Odyssey, a few listens, you can't stop moving to it."

Mount Sims: "Very minimal and sexy. They're good for getting dressed to."

LCD Soundsystem: "It's punk rock, but it's still electronic. It's what everybody wants to hear right now."

Ainu: "A big local up-and-comer. They do improvised electro."

Daft Punk: "If you just start and stop with Homework, you can never go wrong on the dance floor. It's on in a way that's so classic it will never go out."
