So I went to an arcade in Chinatown today. And it was awesome. Pretty much every fighting game ever was there. I didn't beat anyone there (I have zero practice with an arcade stick), but I still had a blast.

Out of curiosity, are there any arcades near any of you? If so, do you ever go? If not, why don't you go jump in a grease fire?

My uncle has arcade cabinets at his house.
He's just that awesome.

Where I used to live there were no arcade halls, and where I live now, there are none aswell...
kinda shame, I would like to go to one, even if I would get my booty handed over :)

All we have here are just halls with those casino gambling machines, even those are wannabe :/

Arcades are dying consoles have become so much more advanced. As a business, they won't see 2015.

Well of course they're more advanced. But arcades are much more fun, IMO. You have an actual social atmosphere.

There used to be an arcade sorta near me. But it closed a while back. I played Street Fighter 4, I think, and sucked at it.

Good times, good times.
