Good analogy.

But not "grown ups".....more like aging geeks with a Peter Pan complex. :thumbsup:

I don't know about you but sometimes it's great to just go out and have fun like a kid again. Being stuck in grown-up mode all the time sucks.

I like the food, and the ones out here have a great selection of video games. They have Virtua Cop III on a HUGE screen, fucking a blast to play after you've had some drinks. Games are very pricey and they use some stupid credit system to throw you off how much you're actually paying. Err, it throws me off any ways lol. I like playing Shuffle Board there, I don't see that many places at all. GF is addicted to the big ass Sega Horse Racing game they have, she plays it about 10 times in a row every time we go.

I go to ours occasionally. It has a fully networked 8-player BattleTech setup. We did a work event once there, blowing away your coworkers in mechs is a good time. :)

They pulled out the one in FL a few years ago, after it was gone I haven't dropped by.

it can be fun. I go probably once a year for one reason or another. Mostly to get my daytona fix (I don't really like it, but playing against 8 ppl in the "seat" is entertaining). And probably a game of time crisis because it's still different than at home. after that it's basketball shoot out and ski ball for tickets that I give away to whoever.

if you've never been you'd have the SAME misconception about what that place is.

we recently have one open near us. boy, i was surprised at the type of people that shows up.

it's like a bar, but higher class of clientele, lots of hot girls if you're into that kind of things.

Food is far better than the standard fare. The games aren't that bad either, but it's often the people you go with that make it fun or not. If you've got friends, go with them and try it. If you don't have friends, well, don't go and keep thinking it's dumb ;)

Buffalo Wild Wings by me (three different locations) only have about three VG's each. :(

D&B has a lot more games. But not much variety. I prefer Gameworks.
