A Chili Dog comes from the United States staple the Hot Dog and the mixture of another U.S staple Chili Con Carne. It consists of a bun, hot dog, and a stew like meat sauce on top, but Arcas Chili Dogs are distinctly different. Arcas-style Chili Dog, is a frankfurter that is about 8 inches, its also on a toasted ciabatta hot dog bun which is different from the American Hot Dog Bun, and its topped with mayonnaise sauce, arcade barbeque chili stew, diced raw onion, fresh savory, and a dash of pecorino romano.
The idea for having an interest in Chili Dogs was from its origin from the Sonic the Hedgehog Television series from 1993, DiC Entertainment & Sega Games co, the popularity of the Chili Dog in the franchise was so popular that the Japanese company implemented it in the cannon game series. The game series for Sonic the Hedgehog featured Chili Dogs as Sonic the Hedgehogs food of choice with each of his friends having their own preferences of Chili Dogs. In Arcas culture it is said in the 90’s the roots of chili dog fandom came from to fruitation from the archie comics recipe found in Archie Sonic the Hedgehog Comic issue 1 that gave an idea of what a chili dog was suppose to taste like. The taste for barbeque chili on top of a hot dog was made amongst hardcore fans and counted as video game food, people were intrigued that a game could have even had a recipe attached to it, as fans kept on searching out video game recipes they kept barbeque chili dogs in the back of their minds. From that point, the Chili dog was associated with gamers of western origin to gamers from Japan through a affordable stew that goes with the portable hot dog. As gamers experimented with their own variations of Barbeque Chili that was eaten with the Arcas Hot Dogs. it slowly began to change by the ingredients that were left in the fridge and were tossed in the chili that stewed for a long time. It wasn’t uncommon to freeze bags full of chili for a quick microwave dinner to avoid making it again from scratch, so large portions are usually made when making arcas chili. Easily poured on noodles, easily poured on rice, or as tradition has it to pour the chili on hot dogs that are in a nice bread bun. When the chili is poured on bread or eaten as chili dogs its easy to eat hot dogs while sitting near a computer or television and enjoy a game while having a delicious meal. A few in game variations were: Miles Tails the Twintailed Fox likes Chili Dogs that feature cheese (Prower Chili Cheese Dog), Breezie the Robot Hedgehog likes Chili Dogs prepared by Chef Charlemagne that were a referance to another Sonic Character Overlord Charlesmagne, Eggmanland features a green chili dog called the chili dog (Egg Chili Dog), First Sonic issue by Archie featured a Chili Dog a la (Arcade Barbeque Chili Dog). In Sonic Unleashed there are all kinds of Chili Dogs: like Gyro with Relish, Pig in a Blanket, Exotic Toppings, Sausage Fried Rice, Iced Hotdog, Kebab on a Bun, Ketchup and Mustard, Hard Boiled, Fried Clam Roll. Even if many of them sound out there they were used as inspirations to further Hot Dog sausages that were made by gamers who loved to cook. Variations of Chili eaten in Chili Dogs that are known for their contrast of taste are: Arcade Barbeque Chili Stew, Loveless Shadow Chili, Kupu Cream Chili, and Vector Green Chili. Everyone has their own type of arcas chili that they prefer, so even though its the same meal, people can enjoy many versions of something wonderful. The idea of having multiple versions of chili and marking from western stew with a video game spin makes many people have a distinct idea of when they here Arcas Chili Stew or Arcas Chili Dogs.

Arcas Handhelds started with arcade sack dumplings, but didn’t catch on with popularity until Hack dumplings and Deep Fried Power Pellets were introduced as handheld snack options. Arcade Sack dumplings that were using egg noodle skins and filled with braised ground beef and formed into bite sized snacks that were inspired from the frozen aisle snack section at grocery markets. The name of Sacks comes from the appearance of a money bag that the dumpling is shaped in that arcade goers would usually carry their game tokens in. It is rumored that many of these LAN parties started in the Pacific West of: Washington, Oregon, California, and British Columbia, but due to no records its just a common tale of how these snacks began.
Many gamers had a diet of whatever was convenient, tasty, and easy to eat while playing their favorite game titles. This list included delivery pizza, frozen pizza snacks, and nearby take out was the foods of choice that would be Chinese or Mexican most commonly. Each listed group has taken the cuisine into different directions, but the one in particular stands among the rest and remains responsible for arcas sacks, that would be the frozen pizza snacks pizza rolls that somewhat resemble arcas sacks and seem like smaller versions with limited fillings. Places that serve arcas sacks are sometimes referred to as Hack and Sack eateries in reference to Hack and Slash video games beat um up function that has people fighting off a large number of enemies, but in the case of Hack and Sack eateries the message is to eat a large number of dumplings. Large amounts of dumplings might be ordered for quick consumption, less chewing for more talking, this is due to the dumplings small size. A sack dumpling is a egg roll wrapper that has: a sauce, a filling, and a topping that is baked. A hack dumpling is the same as a sack dumpling, except it is deep fried and topped with cheese. The egg roll wrappers were said to be influenced from affordable and fast Chinese North American take out with the idea of pizza rolls as a basis to create the birth of sacks. With its association to pizza its easy to think that there are only flavors that are on a pizza, but sacks have its fair share of pizza like flavors and a variety of flavors that make it unique to other dishes in arcas culture. Hack Dumplings (deep-fried) Pizzaroni Hack Dumplings: The pizza mimic that transforms intself into a crispy crunchy dumpling with Pepperoni Sausage, Ground Beef Chuck, Fontina Cheese, Chopped Mushrooms, and Spicy Tomato Sauce — were based off of frozen pizza snacks and taken to the next level for a meatier delicacy that only those who were skille din the home kitchen could create. Even though its the stereotype of the taste of many arcas Hacks, it is very easy to recognize with its red sauce and crispy shell and cheese sprinkles. Ronibeans Hack Dumplings : Purists of Kidney beans will not be let down with the Ronibeans. Pepperonis oil gives a distinct flavor to the Kidney Beans that stew for long periods of time before being placed inside its deep fried shell. To add meat and flavor is the Chopped Chicken with rice and Chicken Skin Grease Roux as a thickener. This brings together a crunchy, soft bean, savory salty sausage taste that extends throughout the experience of eating the dumpling. Egg Hack Dumplings : Almost completely taken off of take out menus of Chinese take out in North America... The Egg Roll filled Hack is a bag of deep fried goodness with its Ground Pork, Chopped Spinach, Diced Carrots, Chopped Leak, and Eggs. Already carving itself as a one-handed snack legend and taking some differances with chopped spinach and leaks show the versatility of the traveling Egg Roll in its new found round form. Super Mushroom Hack Dumplings : Super Mushrooms come from Super Mario, so it is a definate Mushroom experience for the senses in its earthy savory form. Inside of the dumpling is Wood Ear Mushrooms, Chopped Shiitake Mushroom, Chopped Button Mushrooms, Chopped Celery, and Pork Cream Sauce. Whenever Mushrooms are mentioned from a Mario referance it usually refers to a Wood Ear, Button, and Shiitake mushroom mixture as it does in the Mushroom Kingdom Pizza, but not in he 1Up Mushroom Sack Dumpling. Power Pellot Dumplings (deep-fried balls) Energizer Power Pellets : Hamburger cumin braise , Butter roux, Bellpeppers, Onions, Tomatoes Power Cucco Pellets : Originally from the Legend of Zelda series, Cucco are basically chickens and grace the title of a buttermilk chicken in arcas. Its known for having Chopped Chicken, Diced Back Bacon, Diced Pepperoni, and Buttermilk Sauce to complete the flavors that are similar to that of a mini sandwich with its tangy, salty, savory elements that complete the experience. Cheesecore Power Pellets : The name of Cheesecore Power Pellets are from the fighting game strategy of getting people into the corner and making it hard for them to block, or shooting fire balls with chip damage to overall make them die, and the winner having their Cheese victory. Cheesecore is a cheese tribute with its concentration of Fontina Cheese, added Chopped Leak, Chopped Onions, and Ground Beef that have a nice combination of saltiness. Sack Dumplings (steamed) Braised Beef Sack Dumplings: The most common of sacks and stealthy in its complexity is the Braised Beef for its marination before taking a dive into the oven for its slow cooked braise. The ingredients are meant to be really soft and fatty in taste with Chopped Marinated Beef Rack, Onion Garlic Puree, and Chopped Leak. When people are looking for nothing but a nice emphasis on meat the braised beef is their go to dumpling friend. Tripaise Sack Dumplings : In farm country it isnt uncommon to find those who try to make every part of the cow work for food dishes. Tripaise is chewy by itself in a spicy tomato sauce, however with the crunchy cilantro and baked exterior of the dumpling there is crunch and chew with a refreshing aftertaste with some bite. The ingredients on the inside have Chopped Beef Tripe, Chopped Cilantro, Chopped Onions, and Spicy Tomato Sauce. Headmelt Sack Dumplings : In short, heading down the path of Headmelt is what you would imagine, Head Cheese with actual Fontina Cheese, Diced Back Bacon, Chopped Tomato, and Chopped Cilantro. Small enough to showcase the delicate taste of head cheese with other layered flavors make headmelt sack dumplings a textural adventure that isnt too wild in taste as you would expect from straight head cheese. Tongue Sack Dumplings : The name in it self is enough to scare many people away, however it is easily one of the most savory and soft meats that will touch the palette from all the dumplings. With the suddle savory taste of Beef Tongue, Ground Pork, Diced Mushrooms, Chopped Carrots, Chopped Garlic it really emphasizes the taste of savory soft meat with earthy, salty, savory, and sweet elements. When done correctly in its glory of flavor the tongue will be a dumpling that will be on the go to list. Block Dumplings (steamed) mushrooms Leak Block Dumplings : Just as those searching for a diet food that still has some taste to it the leak is the perfect fit. It may not be completely meat free as it has seafood as its secondary flavor, the leak is filled with Chopped Spinach, Chopped Bay Scallops, Chopped Leak, and Chopped Garlic to leave a lasting impact on the senses. It maybe fresh and spiced with a herb taste that has a hint of savory, but it will leave you inspired to eat other vegetable dominant sack dumplings that have a single meat to hold everything in the balance of the flavor. Shrimp Block Dumplings : Nick named the Seafood sack, Shrimp Sack Dumplings will leave the eater with a juicy shrimp and scallop meat ball with a bit of mayo to seal the deal. The complete list would be Chopped Shrimp, Chopped Tomato, Chopped Bay Scallops, and Mayonnaise Sauce. It doesnt leave much up to the imagination as it feels like eating a large shrimp with a mixture of textures. The Shrimp is the standard to the seafood dumplings that have varieties of: The Oyster, The Salmon, The Sockeye, and the Crab. Mushroomblock Dumplings : The name comes from getting an extra life in Super Mario Brothers. The dumpling itself though is the Buttermilk version of the mushroom kingdom pizza in a dumpling form. With Spinach, Chopped Shiitake, Chopped Button Mushrooms, Chopped Tomatoes, Chopped Garlic, and Buttermilk Sauce it can be filling and obviously seen as loosely based off of the pizza. Ingredients List: Button Mushrooms Shiitake Mushrooms Wood Ear Mushrooms Artichoke Spinach Celery Stalks Yellow Onion Garlic Cloves Kidney Beans Fontina Cheese Parmesan Cheese Buttermilk Sauce Tomato Sauce Spicy Tomato Sauce Pork Cream Sauce (pork cream roux with water) Ground Chicken Beef Tongue Beef Head Cheese Beef Tripe Stomach Ground Beef Chuck Ground Beef Rack Ground Pork Bacon Pork Belly Back Bacon Pork Loin Pepperoni Sausage Shrimp Scallops Barcades have been gaining some popularity in the late night crowds in places like Oregon and Washington. They are one part bar and one part 80’s arcade that has an old school gamer atmosphere, a feeling of a preservation retrocade of pixelated video games and early 3D with pinball machines. These Barcades can be a museum of homage to retro games and can specialize in a type of game. A few notable arcades have been Washington State's Dork's Arcade & 8 Bit Arcade Bar, and the topic of the food innovator that is Oregon's Ground Control.
Arcades have always been near bye Chinese joints, hot dog stands, and pizza parlors for a late night snack or the snack bar inside the arcade themselves that had premade pizza on a spinner with a guilty hand full of nachos with nacho cheese and chili on the side. Whats left of arcade food is usually seen at places like the passed on Show Biz Pizza, the current Chuck E Cheese, and other Family Entertainment Centers. When people are asked about arcade food it reminds them of bad plastic tasting pizza places... and if it stayed from its origins of the 80’s they would have been correct. But, luckily in the late 90’s and early 00’s Barcades brought in the alcohol and then clientele started demanding some food. One of the more notable Arcade food places around is in Portland Oregon named Ground Control. It has a notable menu that was glorified from junk food enthusiasts by the variety of Nachos that is similar to the old junk food ways of the arcade and took it to a creative food level of categorizing foods as hyper combos, power ups, and special stage with an attempt to have naming conventions that could relate to gamers at an arcade level. Not only in the categories of naming foods with games in mind, but a way to be proud of the arcade food scene as something that might demand a search for taking these classics into a direction of food greatness past its gut busting nostalgia meal. To cover all the Menu bases of Ground Control it is best explained in its several specialties of dishes including: The Classic Hot dog with variations of Chili-Cheese, Corn Breaded, The Sandwich with variations of P.B.J with Sourdough, Grilled Cheese, B.L.T with Sourdough, Three Cheese Jalapeno Bacon with Flatbread, and a Hummus with Flatbread. The Nachos with variations of Nacho Cheese, Chili Nacho Cheese Frito, Chili Cheese Onion Olive Jalapeno Salsa and Sour Cream (aka. Spicy Supreme), Pepperjack Cheese Bacon Onion Pepperoncinis and Barbeque sauce. The Pizza with Pepperjack cheese, pepperoni, onions, and black olives. The savory toppings are listed of lettuce, sauerkraut, olives, pepperoni, salsa, nacho cheese, whipped cream cheese, sour cream, drowned in chili, avocado, dived tomato, pepperjack cheese, and bacon. And lastly the Desserts of Floats, Dessert Dogs, and Sourdough Dessert Sandwich. Ground Control is beginning on exploring the first steps of understanding the elements of Arcade food by following some rules of what is the original menu, but break some rules to see what else can be made from the old. Its taking a look at all the parts that make up the foods of the time and add in the trends to get a new kind of final boss that came from the wood work, but it doesn't really yet have a name other than just retrocade food in the states, however online its turning up to be known as Arcas food aka (Arcade Style Food) that may have a few of its classic brethren and many newcomers into the food style as well. Ground control just does its part as a point of inspiration by keeping things mostly traditional and as a point of study rather than evolving it through deconstruction and reinvention. Iconic american favorites of the instant junk food arcade snack center established runs with the medium of nachos, pizza, and hot dogs that really were and still are popular among youth. Everyone has seen so much of it in their own home towns and by franchise, everyone is so familiar with the ingredients of american-italian and junk food sausages twisted with american-mexican. For the longest of time people at arcades would have to admit that there was nothing else available but junk food at the arcades, it was expected and sort of a way of life in accepting that arcades offered a wonderful place away from it all in a package of guilty pleasures of games and food, it was expected that people at school and parents were completely unwavering in their non accepting ways of the arcade lifestyle, it was also expected that the arcades would disappear along with video games altogether, but they were oh so wrong. That brings us to the beauty that is Arcade food through the instant pizza as a dish of lesser in quality than a delivery italian-american pizza, prepackaged nachos and nacho cheese with canned chile that is seen as a major gut bomb and a instant junk food status symbol, and hot dogs that copy americans obsession for sausage that is completely unoriginal in its search for its own food identity. It might be junk food, but its only junk food till this point and the combination of the time period of junk food has its own wild fads that wavered away and can be now taken to unique heights with a few experiments of the junkilated food arts. The first step in understanding what Arcade food has to offer is the recognition that if obsessed over and cared for with the right hand that those foods might grow into something else and grow into a new discovery of old foods that are not so easily recognized as the forms they once were. Arcade food is changing now through the connection of the internet and is taking all different directions in its evolution of Akihabara food trends and snacks that embody the Arcade vibe to the dish unlocking the next level of arcade foods to hit the table. Akihabara Electric Town has evolved from starting as a radio district, then a electronic district, and then a personal computer district. Akibakei who are some of the unsung hereos of contributing to the categorization of specialties in Arcas have also evolved through these districts and have been borrowing some ideas from the Animanga Otaku who have set residence in the area by demand of tourism. Game Centers brought ideas of techniques that international arcades might not have invested in to see new types of possibilities in the market of people who attend Video Game Arcades. With the history of Akihabara, the Akibakei, and the Game Centers it made a dynamic that made Arcas have more direction from the foreign point of view to further the development of the urban culture.
Akibakei is Japanese slang for Akihabara style or type which started in the 1980s and was the identity of many people who spent alot of time at the famous Electric Town in Tokyo. Hobbies of people labeled as Akibakei these days are to label Animanga Otaku who roam the areas for maids, idols, and games, but there were an older generation of Akibakei who helped form the Electric Town vibe with computer tech and gadgets as the basis without the international phenomena attraction of Akihabara’s Animanga scene. There are categories of Akibakei that are based on their unique interests of Akihabara, such as: Part Finders, Retail Showcase Renter, Technology Enthusiast, Hardware Engineer, Digital Content Otaku, and Moe Idol Otaku. Many of these categories helped form the basis for Arcas urban cultures identifying in its many specialty hobby classes: Video Gamer (video games), Code Programmer (language coding), Computer Interfacer (computer devices), Tech Beautimancer (beauty technology), Digi Artist (digital media art), and Internet Streamer (video hosting) Ira Ishida is notable in helping form the hobby classes as well in his writing how technology and its necessity in the understanding of a select few can base socialization through anonymous boards, search engines, and problem trouble shooting that might have started the spark that made people troubleshoot the idea of arcades or game centers as they are known in Japan by looking at what is labeled Akibakei and Otaku. Ishida writes about Otaku and Akibakei with a mixture of the two in Akihabara in the forms of manga, television drama, and movie adaptation which all have their own variations on them through storytelling and messages. A few of the characters represent some of the ideas of arcas in their specialities including the main character page who uses the computer for research and social interactions for planning and communication, the character Box who is a graphic designer that enjoys digital interactions of people but he has an otaku side with being interested in idol maids and cosplayers, the techno musician Taiko who uses many hi-tech equipment to work on production in video and sound with a high understanding on computers, and the coding hacking prodogy Isumu who shows how interface and programming go hand in hand in showing the communication through software is created through layers of system structures in real life and digitally. Characters from the series that don't show too much of what is seen in Arcas and more Otaku are Akira the Fighting Maid, Daruma the Cosplay Expert, and Takeshi the in the Closet Otaku who is a CEO business man. Akibakei are not Animanga Otaku, the reason its called Animanga Otaku is that Animanga is separate from the word Otaku. Otaku is a word that is synonymous with Animanga hobbiest, but in Japan it means “Passionate Hobbiest of” a given attached word. That aside, Akibakei and Animanga Otaku do have their similarities more than just using the word Otaku. Many of these similarities seem to overlap from Akibakei who are dabble as Digital Content consumers and Moe Idol Otaku. The Digital Content consumers are really into 2D and 3D computer content and collect in the mindset of single components by characters, world expansion, digital appearnace, and simulated stories. Moe Idol otaku enjoy maid cafes that can be seen as favorite compositions, favorite components being the maids, and favorite interactions as features that make up for a whole idea that is just as customized and personalized as a computer game character in specialized market. Even if they are not the same they have some ideas that play off each other to build what we know today as the same similarities we see with Gamer Arcas and Animanga Otaku to make for such a debatable topic question on similarity. Game Centers are another contributing factor to Akihabara and are key to the existence of Japan Gamer cultures ability to thrive. Game Centers are often found in the underground life of the shopping malls beneath city streets called Shopping Arcades. Video Game Arcades in America and Japan were pronounced in the 1980’s and American Arcades vanished in the 2000’s with Japanese Game Centers still alive and plugging away in attempts to widen their audience while trying to survive the destruction of the Console Wars. A big step was having “Picture Club” machines that allow people to make stickers, connect online to post on social networks, and share moments with friends, another step was furthering development of the “UFO Catcher” claw game machines, and lastly “Music Games” that include dance or musical instruments. This was a great pull to get some people to take a look into game centers once in awhile, but it still didn't have wide range appeal, due to the classic hard core competition environment with lots of ear numbingly loud noise. Many American Arcades could take note of these wonderful arcade wonders to have slightly more draw to them as the Game Centers do. Through the eyes of those in a foreign land in the embrace of Bryan Lee O’Malley’s ideal of merging American and Japanese techniques of Arcas, opened by Scott Pilgrim vs. The World to share in urban culture based on gamer rock technology, and overseas to the inspirations of Akihabara to bond more like minded people from the values of Arcas. The effects from geeks from another land bring its lessons of surviving the console wars, being an electronics wonderland, and having the community of Akibakei have been seen in Arcas urban culture. By bringing more people together by thinking about ideas that are shared between people it has a positive effect of bringing people of a similar interest together, with similar hobbies of games, electronics, and the digital realm. By doing so, a virtuous circle is holding a furthering urban culture together from both North American and Japanese geek philosophies of keeping with beloved technological hobbies. Bryan Lee O’Malley, an artist from Canada is most known for his series “Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World”. The story is based on Scott Pilgrim going through youth to adulthood of realizing what is worth fighting for in the ways of motivation, socializing, and growing up. The story takes on the character from slacker to hero, from outcast to his own style, and from youth to adult . Its also stylized with a unpopular manga hybrid look of American and Japanese art style, that takes color in contrast and in full on bold fills, that merges pixelation art appeal with pop rock sound that merge into a idea of lifestyle.
The inspirations of Bryan Lee O’Malley were the art styles of Rumiko Takahashi, Atsuko Nakajima, and Osamu Tezuka that carried throughout the Scott Pilgrim vs. The World series. Videogames are the referances of most things in Scott Pilgrim, for example Sex Bob-omb is from the enemy Bob-omb in Super Mario, his cover arts sometimes inspired by Street Fighter Alpha or Scotts signature move is the Shoryuken from Ryu, or the Dream sequence that is from the Legend of Zelda. The movie shows Fighting games, Dance games, RPG games, and Action games all in reference and in screen time. The Pixelation fascination of O’Malley comes with the many videogame inspirations that are seen from novel to novel and marked the binding of Japanese animation, American Comics, Rock n Roll, Video Games, and Pixelation Art. The groups that liked Scott Pilgrim vs. The world were labeled as a cult following, since the movie had fell short $13.4 million dollars from the original $60 million cost and $47.6 million in return that were heavy losses for Universal. Several blogs online identify the cult as a subculture that is a product of rock n roll millennial nostalgia of the growing video game scene from the time of the: Atari, Nintendo, Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis, Playstation 1, and Sega Dreamcast. Videogame growth was during a time that interests were structured through genres, games were catered to the high difficult game play and long commitment of time to becoming a game expert to making more fun at home than socializing that is seen from Scott from time to time. The will to be respected that is a vertical challenge of many gamers in both North American schools and especially in Arcade Centers that identified prestige in the value of a persons coolness by a demonstration of great skill. Gamers had started creating real community at Arcade center coin-ops that had its origins with the arcade game franchises: Street Fighter II, Mortal Kombat, The Uncanny X-Men Arcade, Dance Dance Revolution, and later went to Home Consoles and Personal Computers. Many games in the arcade would have large gatherings of people watching, waiting, and challenging one another if not cooperating. Eventually Arcade centers had a large decline with many arcades disappearing rather quickly, with home consoles on the rise the video game world was being strong armed with great single player titles, but after internet gaming caught on with pc games the gaming communities started to meet on social forums instead of arcades and began to sociallize. The Storyline of Scott Pilgrim highlights highschool fights that went from the early 90’s went into college and later to adulthood seemed to fade in working life, but stay in the hearts of many, including: the early 90’s Populars, the Library Bookworms, the Gothic Punk Rockers, the Vegetarian tribe, the Trance Ravers, the Animanga Otaku, and the Gamer Geeks. Until the late 1990s, the gamer jocks of unathletic figure, and unattractive looks had focused on video gaming, and head bopping to alternative pop punk rock to deal with their ever struggling social standing that remained as geeks. The idea of geek was glorified into its own social structure of categories of geeks and specializing in being videogame geeks with a ranking superiority system on video game ladders, which eventually led to many main contributions to the ideas of the Arcade urban culture that is often called “Arcas Culture”. Edgar Wright brought Scott Pilgrim vs. The world into the spotlight with taking and working with Bryan O’Malley that took the main idea of the story and made it more based on telling Scotts story that did change the original comic. The comic changes a few key mechanic abilities and love interests and couple appearances of characters supporting in fights, so it wasn’t completely the same and has had its changes. Some may argue that the movie was the main reason for Arcas, but it is no denying the vital role of visionary Edgar Wright who directed the film had created for people themselves to get on with the ideas to complete the idea as a culture instead of leaving it as Scott Pilgrim vs. The World cult fandom, it was also worth noting that without the original inspiration of the directly used story of Scott Pilgrim the movie would have never came to its British Canadian Japanese American fruitation of making the Arcade Punk Gamer Tech Savvy culture that is Arcas. By the time that Scott Pilgrim vs. The World Movie came out in 2010 the gaming scene was anxious for someone to make a visual of the history and its culture that grew, however no one really knew exactly how to place it without seeming like a 90’s nostalgia bomb. The ingenious combinative visual elements of director Edgar Wright taking from Bryan O’Malleys unintentional marker of arcade culture from the storyline that something great would happen. The innovative slang in the script and innovative redefinition of what was gaming culture would earn Bryan O’Malley the title of “The Father of Arcas”. With his intentions being to low off from the public spotlight by putting Scott Pilgrim on the side with a chance to be appreciated by and loved by the fans while working on other projects. It turned into something else as people online began to largely discuss all the hidden meanings of the words in the series, the ideas and thoughts of O’Malley with the pictures expressions, and the process of making the series as a whole. Bryan O’Malley had not realized the effects the life of Scott Pilgrim and the story he had left on the side for his newest project “Seconds” had begun as a sort of Arcade player guide and building of a Scott Pilgrim legacy which left a closure to a soon to be overanalyzed series. This ended in the birth of a nicely pieced composition that came out as Arcas Culture. |
