A video game system including a compact disc programmed with video and audio data and designed to continuously update a player device with informational data to facilitate dynamic sequencing of video tracks during video game play. The method includes monitoring a power management integrated circuit to determine if it is generating excess thermal energy that is contributory to an elevated temperature in a physically proximate application specific integrated circuit. The dome may be forward projecting and may have a convex shape. The outer pipe wall is displaced from the inner pipe wall. Accordingly, the communication system, to which a communication task is allocated, can be changed to another communication system without interrupting the communication task while maintaining the synchronization with the other end of communication.
