Quite addicted to watching Dragonball Super, although some are a bit of a let down that I needed to skip and do a fast forward. It is valentines season, a time of the year where every guys should give thier wives some flowers (I missed this time better luck next year). I was busy setting up our Dlink router to connect to Singtel. Jolibee has gone viral and is the best valentines series this week. For our crash course let us see the video game crash of 1983, and yes the rise of Nintendo.

Home: Setting-up Dlink DIR-868L with Singtel as Access Point
Our Singtel issued router which is an Aztech 7003 is a let down. The 2.4GHz is broken and would bearly reach any of our rooms. The 2.4GHz wouldn't even reach 5 meters distance. I have reported it twice to Singtel and had them replaced the routers, but everything is in vain. Thus I tried to replace it with DLink DIR-868L. It was quite challenging making it work with a direct router internet via the ONT port. Thus I ended up setting it as an access point. The performance is amazing better that the Azetech router. You can check this blog in how to setup as an access point for the DIR-868L model.

Crash Course: The Video Game Crash of 1983
So the 1980s was the golden age of arcade games. Games like Donkey Kong, Pac- Man, Space Invaders, and Centipede had become a cultural phenomenon. These games had expanded the gamer demographic and even encouraged the rise of competitive gaming. There were also many innovations in the home console and computer market with deeper and longer games like Pitfall and Castle Wolfenstein. Suddenly, you could play a game for much longer than your single quarter could get you on an arcade machine. So the video game industry was booming, but it had also become a sort of Wild West and everyone from Purina to Quaker wanted to get into the action. With these new creators came a glut of choices, and to remain competitive Atari began rushing games to market resulting in some truly terrible games. Gamers started to lose confidence in the industry and then in 1983 the gaming industry in the United States crashed.
