I moved the 3D arcade to the East Hills Mall, two years ago. I made the place twice as big. I moved all the games up here and I have DDR Super Nova 2. Why don't you come up here! The rent is cheaper for me now, the Valley plaza was killing me on the rent! Charging me $3500. a month and a $1000 dollar electricity bill!

For anyone who reads this, The 3D-Arcade at East Hills mall now has a Drummania 7th mix machine.

I have good news you don't have to bring your own drinks anymore!

The 2 drinking fountains in front of 3d arcade are now working! I saw this blog and had the maintenance man fix them!

Plus the Street fighter 4 you get 2 minutes per token and 2 people can play at the same time.

I am also putting in ticket games and I have a room that I will be renting for people to have birthday party's.

I will be putting this info on my website BakersfieldArcade.com when its all done. I am thinking 2 weeks.

This is great, thanks! Now I wont be so exhausted between Drummania games!

On another note, Valley Plaza Mall now has DDR X in the Oasis Food court, directly to the left of the main doors. It is on local mode, But I will see if I can see if I can talk to some management on getting the E-Amuse working.

Glad you're loving it. We'll have to really put it to use on the 15th when EMPRESS drops.

Hah, I tried playing doubles with it and it was just horrible. It was like I was playing for the first time all over again

Hahaha. Man, I simply do -not- have the concentration for doubles. Far too much to concentrate on.

Mostly just a left-side coordination thing I can't seem to grasp. Took me far too long to learn to scratch and press buttons simultaneously. Doing that again for the left-side part of doubles just seems far too difficult. Then again, IIDX is, itself, intimidatingly difficult to learn. Someday! Doubles. Not in 200X. Maybe in.. 201X.

I went into class mode and sorta got it down.

I also played DDR Extreme today, which I havent played in a while. Playing DDR X made me realize how small the DDR screen was...

Yeaaah, that 16:9 aspect ratio really makes the screen look sharp. Where'd you play EXTREME at?
