[QUOTE="shutyertrap, post: 144485, member: 134"] First of all, thanks for listening! Maybe we should call out each other's names more during the pod? While Timelord meant antiseptic socially, I meant it in the literal sense. In my day, arcades were lit ONLY by the machines. Walking by one at the mall was like looking into a black pit. Early 90's, the arcades started brightening up more. Look at the sequence in T2 and you'll get a better picture. Still crowded with machines and somewhat dark, but lights are on. Step into a Chuck E Cheese today, or a Nickel Nickel, and you practically need sunglasses on with how bright it is. My ideal is that early 90's feel, or even what Dave and Busters has going on (though I haven't stepped foot into one in probably 10 years). If you are looking for pinball to play in LA, check out Pins & Needles which is inbetween downtown and Hollywood off the 101. I wrote a whole article about it [URL="http://digitalpinballfans.com/showthread.php/7216-Flippin-Out-With-Molly-of-Pins-amp-Needles"]here[/URL]. There's also some place in Glendale, but I've yet to get an exact address. Some of the guys at league were talking about some bar in downtown that has a mess of machines, and I'm wondering if that is the same place Molly talked about going in on in my article. [I]EDIT[/I] It is exactly that place! Here's a link...[url]http://downtownmuse.com/eightytwo-classic-arcade-bar/[/url] [/QUOTE]
