Libraryman Is Game

With all the buzz surrounding gaming in libraries I thought you might enjoy the Libraryman blog?s two cents. Firstly, here I am using an eye toy plug-in device on my Playstation 2. Rock!

Got Game - PS2 Eye Toy II

Also if you follow this link and watch the video for ?Chicken Payback? you can see a catchy demonstration of the very popular DDR (Dance Dance Revolution) game/device in action. Plus you get to hear a song called ?Chicken Payback?. With a name like that you already know it?s gonna? be good. The DDR game/interface has been used in most of the library gaming events I?ve seen pictures of and people seem to get a real kick (pun intended) out of it.

    I saw where you were working on a list of top 100 albums every library should be circulating — I’d love to see that list. Also a big music person. :)

    Hi Kathy,

    You mean somebody read that post?! ;) I do have the list compiled, but need to tweek it a bit. The bulk of the work is done, though I still need to type the list in Word (it’s written in a sketchbook now). I’ll get on it soon. Thanks for the comment!

    That video is great! I’m telling you, monkey/chicken pop culture references are everywhere. What a beautiful world.

    I thought you might get a kick out of that one, you crazy Chick. (pun intended)

    Is “Pocketful of Kryptonite” on that list? ‘Cause if it isn’t, you’re just a hata.
