    Isn’t Chuck E. Cheese the company that nearly turned Moppet Video arcade machines into lost media, by destroying the cabinets for a tax writeoff?

    They call it: funflation.

    No. You made that up and now you’re calling it that. I hate these basic-ass brainwashing media outlets so much.

    Is Good Morning America just ads disguised as news?

    It’s crazy how many cool local arcades exist on the West Coast of the US.

    I lived in the East Coast and they’re all shitty chains like Dave and Busters, selling you $20 microwaved chicken wings and watered down beer, whole charging you $3.42 in D&B Fake bucks to play Mortal Kombat 3.

    While West Coast, you spend $10 to play hundreds of SNES games and they give you a bowl of Fruit loops and milk so you can relieve your childhood.

      I am done with Dave and Busters. What a shitshow. Some of the machines are always broken, the food is mediocre at best, and I just want to play fun games, not win tickets for shitty prizes. Where are all the real arcade machines?!

    I love my local bar arcade. Flat fee at the door, unlimited play on hundreds of arcade/pinball/midway games. They also have great ciders on tap.

    I’ve been toying with the idea of having my 41st birthday at Chuck E. Cheese just because I think it would be funny. But if they’re gonna add stuff specifically for adults, it loses all comedic value. 😩

    I’ve joked for years they should pivot to legit Michelin quality white tablecloth restaurants called Charles E Fromage.
