    Wow after looking at these pictures of the "arcade" I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.

    ...Why? I think it's a rather nice-looking arcade, aside from the choice of machines and depressing emptiness. (I feel kind of sad for the attendant.)

    I didn't know there was an Avatar pin made.
    That's not really to the point, since he could very well go for something like the dual Ms. Pac-Man/Galaga cab (even the old Forum at Montreal has one in the central place). Often, if you find any retrogaming cab nowadays, that's the one you'll see.

    Or the Mario Bros./Donkey Kong/DK Jr. Cab, or Space Invaders Deluxe, hell a multicab is even feasible.

    I believe Billy has a press conference set up for tomorrow out of his arcade. I wonder if he is unveiling another taped DK world record,or hopefully another live event.

    It's going to be a press conference to declare his awesomeness.

    That's crazy talk. He'd never address the public without plugging his sauce.

    I was there yesterday. Unfortunately it was too late to go in, but it is small enough you can see all of it from the gate. Looks the same as the video. Wonder if Nintendo gave him permission to have Donkey Kong everywhere?
