In this episode, Anna and MSA decide to turn a simple idea into an exciting, retro-inspired arcade right inside the former's basement. What starts out as a fun local hangout quickly takes on a life of its own as new visitors arrive, prompting the duo to look for creative ways to expand their operation. However, scaling up an secret subterranean lounge comes with unexpected hurdles. Tune in to watch how Anna and MSA navigate the chaos and pivot their project to keep the gaming fun alive for everyone!
The following video contains footage that I personally recorded of myself playing the arcade games available through MSA Arcade. MSA Arcade is a recent project by MSA that allows users to connect to and play real, physical arcade machines over the internet for free. This project served as the primary inspiration for this episode.
Additionally, the title screen theme for the fictional game _Escape the Donkeys_ is taken from here youtu.be/gmSjkZkTWhE, while the music used during the gameplay comes from here youtu.be/-UottzolPts?t=249. All other background music made by Kevin MacLeod.

(Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_use)
Fair use is a doctrine in the United States copyright law that allows limited use of copyrighted material without requiring permission from the rights holders, such as for commentary, criticism, news reporting, research, teaching or scholarship. It provides for the legal, non-licensed citation or incorporation of copyrighted material in another author’s work under a four-factor balancing test. The term “fair use” originated in the United States. A similar principle, fair dealing, exists in some other common law jurisdictions. Civil law jurisdictions have other limitations and exceptions to copyright.
