Actually I'm thinking a lot about how the best qualities of arcade games from an operator's perspective:

  • Short credit times
  • Adjustable settings to optimize cash flow
  • Being easy to understand for the average arcadegoer
  • Maintainable with easily-serviced parts, or readily-available off-the-shelf replacements

...are impossible to incorporate into rhythm games, which is the big reason these games barely exist in mainstream arcades:

When researching Phoenix Hyperspace for my highly upsetting post on the subject, it was hard to avoid news articles proclaiming that it had been sold off by Phoenix (when they gave up wholesale on their idea of making anything other than BIOSes) and bought up by HP. However, that's where the trail ended; attempts to find out what, if anything, HP had done with it proved fruitless. That is, until two days ago.

So this is only kind of related to Gravis' post but there's a couple of fun threads to pull here:

  • Friday is defined as a day you are working but have the following day off.
  • Saturday is defined as a day you are off but have the following day off.
  • Sunday is defined as a day you are off but are working the next day.

Given these irrefutable axioms, if you were to add a second Sunday to the week, one after another, the first Sunday would react violently to the second Sunday and be converted into a Saturday.

Double Saturdays, though? Completely possible. And that's why Saturday is considered a Noble Day.
