Im probably in the very very small minority of people who still love and go to arcades. Its such a great place to meet like minded nerds. We are lucky to have 2 really awesome ones in town, one of which has a lot of good old machines, and they repair them too. They have some new ones that are OK too.

Anyway, I dont like that they changed to the dumb card thing. I get it (efficiency, capitalism, it was bound to happen) but it removes another visceral experience in society that was so fun.

Anyway, my old man rant!

    I’ll never forget the time I hit that stupid spinny light stop thing for a perfect game. 500 tickets baby! It spit out 13 before it ran out. Didn’t even get my token refunded.

    This is why I’m now building a doomsday machine.
