MY NAME IS DAVE, AND I work for the Arcade.

That’s about my favorite thing I’ve ever said, and it’s only barely true. But it’s my full-time job now, it pays well, and... I couldn’t live this life without it.

The Arcade, of course, is Exelichai Game Arcade. You’ve got an account. Not a gamer? Doesn’t matter. Everyone’s on the Arcade. Do you chat with your friends on Simaphore, or are you chatting securely through Cage? Either way, those services are hosted on the Arcade.

Do you send payments through Midas?

Do you follow celebrities and share memes with your grandma on Memento?

Do you manage your gig jobs and look for work through Placement? That’s on the Arcade.

But it’s so much more than those services. Everyone in the world is walking around with a user account to the greatest thing mankind ever made...and most of them have never even opened the tab.

That’s all going to change tomorrow. But before I tell you about that, I’ve got to catch you up on the news.

See...there was this girl. And a bathroom fan. And kidnappers. And someone shot up my car like in a movie, but I thought I was going to die in real life.

But then I saved the day and got the girl by making a video game. And that’s the story I want to tell you. Before tomorrow, when you binge the documentary on Netflix.
