you get bonus points if it was a clamshell phone and you flicked it open.

Please tell me you did that?
Unfortunately not, but I did get a number of catcalls ;)
Yeah i'm not surprised, I would have done the same, but if you done that with a clamshell phone I would have had your babies.

what's your greatest arcade moment?
it goes like this

the Game Time Crysis 2

the crowd is age 8 to 13

some kids try out but fail on the first level

half of crowd leaves

i go in a pop my coin in

(i think to my self "its just like playing the PS2 one only more skill)

i raise the gun slightly tilted so its a cross between standard and gangsta style

I PRESS START

DUN DUN DUN

Shots of extreme accuracy are heard ,,headshots are done within split seconds
,,Thousand yard stare comes to eyes,,Level 1 aced within 2 min

this amazing act keeps going on a crowd develops one kid shouts
"hey densal look at this Chap"

BAM BAM BAM everyshot is perfect

this amazing act kept gong for a full 20 min
until my mom called
me being a honourable gamer blows the pretend smoke of my plastic pistol and give it to the
small kid standing next to me that doesn't have any coins and i say to him


"show um what you got"

i walked away as "that kid that was F&^%ING amazing with the Guncon"

That sucks man. Remind yourself to call on the staff whenever you get the chance to win something.

it includes putting a dime or 10 p in a small upside down jeely bean dispenser then turning the handle

Wow! There are a few. But I can remember clearly finding that weird polygons mini game in the NBA JAM arcade game. Oh! And the first time I saw a fatality on Mortal Kombat (talk about graphic images) was pretty memorable (due to the shock factor).

kicking the shit out of Point Blank in a foreign country is my highest achievement...

For a while i bet those spanish people were like "huh? who's this "gra" guy who set the highscore?

Be careful my friend, even these fiendish machines will try to scam you at every opportunity!

Another DDR story.

I was on holiday, playing My usual set of Stomp to my beat, Afronova Stealth, Dynamite Rave on light, freestyling.

By the time I was finished, there was a crowd spilling onto the street and 2 seperate people filming me.

I felt like a fucking god.

Ok, my greatest moment in the arcades was when I was probably about 6 or 7. The Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 system was "broken." In reality it was on free play, it didn't accept tokens and it was virtually a blessing of God. Well, to say the least, it was popular in that arcade, and EVERYONE was around it. A six year old didn't stand much chance of getting through the crowds.

I kept asking if they would let me challenge them, but all of them (they seemed like 18 year olds, but I was little. In retrospect they were probably 14 or 15) said no, until the idea of making a little kid cry by beating him at a video game arouse. Needless to say, they challenged me, and I wouldn't be typing this if I had cried.

Yeah, I messed those kids up. I played as Scorpion, and they just didn't see it coming.

That was my greatest moment in the arcades.

I don't remember how old I was, I was in my late teens I know that much and I was at a club/bar/arcade place with my friend and her friends on her birthday. I found a shooter, which I think was House of the Dead or Area51 and went to town. I was really on a roll; head shots all over the place. I must have looked like a crazy person with my Spike Spiegel-esque trench coat on. There were these two guys who watched me play for 30min to an hour. I was busy so I didn't really see them show up or leave. I was fun though, I was so proud of myself.
