The Most Accurate Arcade Diorama!

March 23, 2018 By ausretrogamer

Holy smokes! Just as we were scrolling aimlessly through our Twitter feed and were about to give up and shut the app, we came across xevious765_bt’s Tweet which almost made us choke on our own spit!

The (loose) translation of xevious765_bt’s Tweet is, “The arcade diorama was taken by a close female photographer, ‼\(^o^)/ 📷 and the real feeling is different when I take it with a good camera of the one eye reflex! of ▽*) Course, the cameraman’s arm is good.”

Gotta thank their close female photographer friend for snapping these awesome pics. Oh, and to the creator of the arcade diorama, wow, talk about intricate detail – simply amazing!

Shorty Award Nomination

February 4, 2014 By ausretrogamer

Shorty_nomination

What does it mean to be nominated for a Shorty Award? Let me begin by stating I think the best motivation in life is passion and enjoyment – two things at the heart of ausretrogamer, and one should never do things just for the prize. With genuine passion, your reward is meeting other likeminded people from all over the world. Social networking, Twitter in particular, has broken down country borders and has allowed all of us to congregate in communities to share and engage. It truly is a global village. I am happy to be a part of it. That said, being nominated for a shorty award is a lovely bonus and an encouraging sign that we are on the right track.

My daily (ausretrogamer) tweets are to engage in conversation, be informative and most importantly, entertain anyone that would care to listen (or in this case, read tweets). The culmination of my passion has seen the creation of ausretrogamer.com – the Australian Retro Gamer E-Zine, an independent video games site dedicated to old-school retro gaming. The site aims to spread the nostalgic vibe of retro gaming by being informative and entertaining. Even if one reader is informed and entertained, then the job is done.

For those that have nominated me for a Shorty Award, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am truly honoured.

If you would like to vote for ausretrogamer, go to the Shorty Awards nomination page.
