Commissioner Jack Lee is our level 3 X factor. Is it enough? #savesuperarcade

 

[hitsugi]

This guy is HELLA FGC, he just doesn't know yet

If he played at Pacman he definitely knows what's up. That place was lined from wall to wall with fighting games.

...a little scary outside, though. The Burger King nearby had bulletproof glass from the waist up.

A city not wanting an arcade means either the city knows nothing about video gaming communities, or it knows a whole lot about video gaming communities.

 

[TheChits]

This is great

They'd prefer kids out on the streets than in an empty building making the city money.

 

[def sim]

yikes lol

 

[m_shortpants]

this lady sucks

 

[Onemic]

Ok, this shit aint happening. Girl hates the idea

THE DREAM IS DEAD

 

[CO_Andy]

[TheChits]

:/

 

[BakedYams]

man, what the hell? i smell discrimination. "Its not against the gamers"

Says no to arcades... this damn lady

 

[Tripon]

Wow, this is going to fail because of the owner of the mall.

 

[m_shortpants]

boggles the mind. They'd rather have randoms hanging outside empty buildings drinking at night, lmao.

good lord.

 

[Horseress]

An empty location with some criminality going on and for some reason putting SOMETHING there, something WITH SECURITY, is not a good idea?! God fucking dammit

 

[ViewtifulJC]

CUT THE STREAM

 

[fader]

Jesus. They are making it sound like that it is a dangerious neighborhood.

 

[MikeBreezy92]

Wow, this is going to fail because of the owner of the mall.

Yeah its not even Watson's fault.

 

[Azure J]

Watson making his case to open Super Arcade in Azusa - old people blocking it because they don't understand what the FGC is.

Damn, that sounds like a total blowup.

Azusa sounds like the most boring place on earth

Seriously, and I thought Ocala, Florida was dull...

[mbpm1]

Watson camped out in the area several nights his arcade was in to scout out the neighborhood before he bought it lol.

good lord.

i wonder if these people are even thinking correctly... fucking questionable judgement. lets have people drink outside and leave it like that.

we might as well let them grow some muscle so they look more threatening with the gym too. /s

Well if you open up a store in a location that's a standard thing to do.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

the age of arcades are done

 

[Tripon]

Hahahahaha, I'm sorry. But Azusa at best is a rough city, and you're not going to get better stores if you deny businesses from setting up.

 

[Horseress]

I, for one, welcome our new overlords: the empty lots

 

[BakedYams]

I, for one, welcome our new overlords: the empty lots

we can always bring melee setups that can be powered through moving some muscle.

Edit:

Where is UltraDavid? I think he would have a been a great fit for discussing this... He's a lawyer who's been in the arcade scene for years.

 

[CurlyW]

Unrelated to the current topic, but I was looking at some of the other gaming threads because Iron Galaxy was in the news, and holy shit is the rest of NeoGaf really that insane?

 

[Shouta]

The Azusa council made a pretty poor decision. =/

This is BS. I'm pissed at this decision.

Did you see the thread on Skullgirls and how much it takes to make a game?

 

[Horseress]

Those people had their minds already made up, don't think it would help tbh

 

[petghost]

Hahahahaha, I'm sorry. But Azusa at best is a rough city, and you're not going to get better stores if you deny businesses from setting up.

For real azusa is already pretty shit and discouraging legitimate businesses in favor of people drinking in public ain't helpong

 

[Kadey]

My guess is that they already knew their answer and had their minds made up despite all the arguments and what not.

 

[fader]

So basically they didn't see money in arcades and would rather have a retail shop.

 

[m_shortpants]

Stay free, Asuza. With leaders like this you'll never get anywhere.

Are you talking about the PC port of the new Batman game?

And yes, they're that crazy. In general.

Unfortunately, there is a lot of people who don't consider why decisions are being made and would rather yell than find what they want to do.

What happened? I tried looking for it and couldn't find it.

I'll be frank, no retail shops are not going to open that in that mall with the current conditions if they were accurately saying what a shit show is.

Think ig did a really shifty pc port of batman
