[QUOTE="Timelord, post: 143922, member: 1441"] Hi Zombie, That person would be me. I think you missed some important factors in my stories. First of all I clearly said that I was the "[I]odd man out[/I]" and didn't play in arcades, but rather in bars or pubs. But I think you clearly expressed what I objected to when I said that I had looked into arcades but chose not to game there. I said that I thought they were antiseptic. Now i didn't intend to imply that they were cleaner or more well lit, but that they were socially antiseptic; i.e. no social interaction. So I guess we actually agree in some respects. In Chicago (and actually in San Fransisco where I lived for several years in the mid 60's) the scene was different. Bars, not arcades. Socialization, not elitism. Respectfully, Timelord ... [/QUOTE]
