I was told Roll On was closing about a month ago, and that the owners were selling it to Lowe's. They haven't been making much money the past few years as it is. They've been down to a skeleton crew for quite a while, so the news wasn't a surprise. There aren't any arcades that last around here, except Chuck E Cheese (which stole their business, I'm sure), and TGA

. I have good memories of Roll On.

I played on Acton's ITG 2 machine tonight. The pads feel really weird. It feels like the arrows are sinking into the pad. I was afraid I might break the pad. Playing that game also reminded me why I like DDR better, since I was having trouble finding songs I like. Remember December is still one of my favorites on Hard. Queen of Light's ok too. I don't really like anything on Expert.

The Bowlodrome looks so different now. The last time I was there they had the Solo 4th Plus machine. I hated it since it felt like the pad was too close to the screen. This was before they remodeled the arcade.
