No kidding. There has never been a decent arcade near my house in my life. The closest is this burger place near my old high school that has Street Fighter II: Championship Edition and Galaga. (It's had the same two games for YEARS, haha.) There's also a pool hall with some arcade games, but it doubles as a bar, so not too many high schoolers in there. *wink wink*
There is a Gameworks at the local mall, too, but it's too expensive to have much fun. The best arcade, though, is at my college, Cal Poly Pomona. Good fighting games and awesome imported shooters. Yay!
And, yeah, I'm pretty sure all arcade gamers have done this at least a few times. The line, "See this shit, Stan? I just beat the fuck out of this" sounds like every friend I've ever had, haha.
Hahaha! Ohhhhhhh that was funny. So true, too . . .
I like having the feeling that after this guy gets about 5 or 6 years added to his life, he's gonna be crazy successful in life and stuff. Maybe, anyway.

I think I'll try to write something before work tomorrow -- hopefully it goes well! :)

Haha, that's always the hope isn't it? Add a few years onto your life and you'll figure out what to do with your talents.

Hahaha, Eddie sounds like a smartass in the best way! The monologue cracked me up hard - it was so true. I want to hear more about him and the rival!

Ahh, pointless gaming. I remember doing that to that Die Hard arcade thing once.
Where did all the fun arcades go? All we get is bad racing, DDR, and Xtreme Turkey Hunting 9? I miss Hydro-Thunder and the good shooters.
