pretty awesome idea...im going next saturday.




EDIT - New Video....CNBC Video

I also ended up going last saturday with 3 friends. It was awesome! Most fun I've had in awhile...the ordering was fast and easy, and you can order in as many intrevals as you want. We ended up staying for 3 hours playing all the wonderful games. Hmmm....I just recently found out its publicly traded on the market as well under UWNK.

Looks sweet, games at the table and no waiting around for some jackass server to take your order.

I don't know. I would rather talk to a waiter that can give you some input on the food. When I go to eat I am not there to play video games. I guess for some it might be cool, but to many other it will just be a passing fad. You would have to be a loser. I mean, come on. You go out to eat to be social. A glass of wine and chatting. Not to sit and play fuc*ing video games.

the social aspect is the point. According to Bushnell, and I much agree, games are meant to be social. They stir up competition and good fun. 8 player pong??? How frickin awesome!!!

I think my literature professor would agree with you on the competition part. I'm taking a lit course entitled "Weapons of Mass Entertainment" as an elective
