Goddamn that was a great time to be young.
YES, I know this is all computer generated, you ass....but it's pretty accurate.
I remember standing around crowds of people watching someone play Dragon's Lair. They actually would have to place a monitor on top of the arcade cabinet because otherwise you couldn't get close enough to the machine to see anything.
Anyone remember Showbiz Pizza? That's one of the places around here that had Dragon's Lair.
They had a couple other hot games too, but the problem was it was like a Chuckie Cheese, so you had a bunch of little kids running around fuckin' up your gametastic style.
And then there was this jacked up robot band called The Rockafire Explosion that would play the current hits of the time, only minus whatever cool factor the original version of the song had.
You haven't lived until you've seen a hillbilly bear singing "Der Kommisar"!
See what I mean? It's hard to get your game on with that kind of loopy shit going on as a backdrop.
You were applauding for ROBOTS, people!!!!
WHAT THE FU.....hey....speaking of shit like that....why do people applaud at the end of a movie?
Haven't you seen that before? The movie ends...the credits start to roll...and the theater starts erupting in applause.
WHY?
I could see if the cast were in the theater with you...or even let's say a member of the production team, and you want to just say to them "Hey, that was some damn fine editing, my friend...DAMN FINE!".
But why are you applauding at the SCREEN?
Wait...what the hell was this post about anyway?

We had Chuck E Cheese in So Cal... The pizza sucked but it was fun, in a gay way.
