With the coming of the New Electronic age, we must deal with an entirely revamped moral code. A New Etiquette. Arcades have replaced the high school dance, videogames have replaced pinball, the times are changin', blah blah blah. If you spend any of your leisure hours stuffing quarters into machines at vid parlors, you must still deal with members of the human race. You must never forget your manners.
Before heading for your local arcade, take a long look in the mirror. Are your clothes neatly pressed? Is your hair parted handsomely? Are there any unsightly fhingies hanging out of your nose? Remember: don't offend any of your fellow gamers with an unkempt appearance! If you're a slob, keep out of sight. Nobody needs another jerk like you to look at!
