Less Ashamed Of Self Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 All of the controllers will be like the controllers in your local movie/game store... probably worse because they'll be sticky with booze and drunks will smash them in fits of stupidity.

Cerrax Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 This is an idea me an my friend have had for a while now. There's this bar in the South Side called 1311 and we wanted to open a gaming bar right down the street and call it 1337. Pretty much everything Yahtzee plans to do at the Mana Bar, we wantyed to do. Maybe he's looking to start a franchise.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FR Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 no in Colombia (and other South American countries probably) they have (or had idk) "arcades" which were made up of rows of consoles i.e. a super nintendo section or N64 section you would buy time and play any game they had for your chosen console until your time was up that's what this bar sounds but with a club setting and alcohol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
q-pa Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Wow. Right there in Brisbane, Australia, where I spent my Junior year of college abroad (and first got interested in DJing). It's seriously the best city I've ever been to and this makes it all the more awesome! I still remember the Asian-style arcade they had downtown, with the sit-down cabinets. They need more of those stateside too Edit: Cerax: do it. I personally will be there every week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zircon Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 A.K.A. Dave & Buster's? I get the impression this is less of an arcade and more of a bar-style setting with games right there at the bar itself. D&Bs is like a bar/restaurant attached to an arcade.
