Well, my next step, now that works done and whatnot, is teh mall. Head up to GayStop to see if they got in EX2. Then start playing the shit out of it, working to unlock stuff.

Actually, when I was up at the mall the other day, I saw a nice little surprise...

From the looks of things, the place is getting a new arcade. Same spot as AC used to be at. Dunno who it is tho.

I was walking in the mall, and noticed a couple games on the back of a truck outside the entrance where the arcade used to be. Some gun game, and a couple changers. I thought "oh cool", but wasn't really optimistic. Then I went in the place, and noticed that the gate for the former arcade was opened, and they were taking the signs saying it was the adopt-a-pet center on weekends, and cleaning it out, and that there was a Fast and the Furious machine in there already. Then the dude brought in one of the coin changers on a dolly.

Then later, after bumming around with Jeremy for a bit, as I was leaving, I noticed everything that was on the truck was inside, including this neon sign that said REPLAY.

Obviously, this isn't gonna be a Namco owned thing, since Namco is dead and all... But hopefully it'll be someone that knows SOMETHING about good games and whatnot... Maybe get some GF/DM action going... Or IIDX or something. Get a GOOD arcade, like the ones in Texas. As big of a bemani following that Chicago has, we have shit for games up here. DDR and that's aboot it.


But I digress.


Ok, people in Chicago, tell me what's up with this....

I'm driving yesterday... Flipping thru radio stations... 94.7 is oldies now?!?!? Where the fuck did The Zone go?!? It was my only solice once Q101 went all shuffle, and started playing crap and all that. I mean seriously....I don't need to hear fuckin Mazy Star or whatever... Gimme fuel, gimme fire, gimme stuff for my desire!! No more Metallica at Noon. ;_;

I mean... I guess I can listen to The Loop, since they've been playing more modern day stuff... But still.

It's kinda ironic tho that most of the DJ's on The Zone quit Q101 to get away from the way they do business, only to have their new home shut down... Heh.

Oh if only they would bring back 92.7&5... I miss listening to dance/trance all the time. Now THAT was a kickass station.

Le sigh...


Off to the mall I go. =D
