This was written as a parody of 3 posts yesterday from----supposedly (very suspiciously)-----a spammer who doesn't speak or write English. The 3 prose-like paragraphs were about some video game(s). Either the original posting agent or this sight removed them.

What is this piece of nonsense? It is a kind of simulation of an arcade. I'm sure someone could write a more accurate (for sure) description or write a more coherent incoherence in the spirit of a video game(s). I was inspired (in my own feeble way) by the idea. Let the true pinball and word wizards begin----or forever rest in peace.

"arcane arcades", I used that pare of words once
there are some themes that were there from my youth days
when I use to live near a boardwalk with arcades
and carnival rides.Which always served as a constant
source for metaphor for the distractions of amusements.
