Michigan Arcades (again)

[davidbrit2]

Gee, I didn't realize traveling and meeting other people was actually a video game.

So who else is up for this sort of thing? Marvin's over in Farmington is a good place to hang out, assuming you aren't terribly claustrophobic. Heh.

[ubersaurus]

My friend derek and I are planning on taking a trip up there soon. Is it true they have F-Zero AX?

[davidbrit2]

Yup. It was dead when I went there, but that was probably a good month ago.

We have an entire Events and Gatherings Forum that would be a perfect place to continue this discussion. Kthnks.

[davidbrit2]

We have an Off Topic forum that would be a perfect place to continue everyone else's discussion kthx.

Anybody who doesn't like my choice of arcade road tripping as a summer activity, please take a number and wait in the Cry Me a River line.

[Kroogah]

Again, I say, let's do this. If my friend flakes out again, I will KILL HIM WITH A HAMMER. A HEAVY HAMMER.

Must pppppppplaaaaayalyay dddrrrrummmmsss

If yer house is close by I can bring my Desktop Arcade too.

I've been to Marvin's recently. Make sure to post when you're going somewhere else and maybe we can carpool.

[spoon]

I'll go.

[Mr.FoodMonster]

Never been, but thats cool with me.

[davidbrit2]

We should definitely go to Marvin's sometime soon, then. But having a big group there would be a little foolish, since the place is so packed with games that it's actually hard to walk. Heh. I'll actually be going to Ohio again in a week or so. If that's not too soon, I could stop at the arcade on the way back.

[Mr.FoodMonster]

They also have Beatmania there, right? Thats the only Bemani thing I have yet to try out (and Pop 'n Music). I say as long as there is a date thats atleast 2 weeks away from the day its posted is fine by me, mostly so I can make sure to get work off that day.

[davidbrit2]

Marvin's doesn't have Beatmania, but AFC does. It's IIDX 8th Style, but the screen sucks. The two places aren't that far from one another.

I'll be in Ohio June 30. I could stop at the arcades on the way home July 1 or something like that. Who's with me?

[Kroogah]

I could plan on July 1.

[larsoncc]

Hell, why not just meet in Canada?!? New York? Japan???

I'm bitter about Grand Rapids proximity.

I will get over it, I'm sure.

No arcades in Grand Rapids - I mean, there's Kahunaville, but that's a joke relative to Pete's.

[davidbrit2]

Yeah, Kahunaville is kinda lame. But Gamezone in Centerpointe mall should be opening sometime before the turn of the century. It looks sort of like a Gameworks style arcade. There's also a Pinball Pete's in Lansing, and while it's considerably smaller than the Ann Arbor location, they still have a bunch of really cool stuff. And Putter's in Kalamazoo is a nice place to hang out, if you don't mind the drive, and you're into DDR. Heh.

[ubersaurus]

I'm all about marvins if they have AX. And I'm sure there's a number of people on here who'd be interested in checking that out and maybe unlocking some stuff if it's the proper region. Space be damned :P

There used to be a tilts around here that was big, but it didn't upkeep crap. I'd almost suggest talking to robo about having a special game night for peeps, although his house isn't the largest, he's had some pretty good sized groups of people there for his game nights.

[ManekiNeko]

I'm still waiting for all the pictures from the last meeting to be published somewhere...
Hey Chris, did you ever finish that article about the Ann Arbor meeting? I was looking forward to reading that.
