Irvine Boomers! (Wait people go here still?!) Technika Enabled - Page 3

Man.. It just keeps on getting worse for Technika here..

Went there this afternoon and was able to play a game. Came back later tonight and the machine was frozen at the title screen. Animation and sound was working fine, but it wouldn't register any touch. Went to the ticket counter and waited 30 minutes for someone to help me and all she did was refund me my credits. I asked about fixing the machine and she just mentioned that the arcade dude is coming tomorrow morning.

In the mean time, DJ Trend and I went to unplug and plug the machine back in to see if that would do the job. It wouldn't start up at all. We switched the AC inputs to see if that was the problem and still nothing. Hopefully it gets fixed by tomorrow..

Also, I've been in talks with the guy in charge here and got this bit of grim news:

One thing you should know, DJMax has not been performing too well at our location and may be moved to another store. So you may want to play it a lot before it goes!

It doesn't make sense to me as this machine always seems to have someone on it every time I visit. Anyway, I hope it only gets moved to another Boomers.

Wow that sucks I was just there today and it seemed fine. I guess too much water splashed onto it finally.

nait0 · 08-21-2009, 02:42 PM

yeah it really sucks, because thats two days in a row i've gone there and not been able to play...

DJComet · 08-21-2009, 03:41 PM

I'm going to go by today and see if it's up and working. If we weren't able to get it up, I don't think they'll be able to.

Also found out that it'll most likely be moved to Speedzone in City of Industry. Completely stupid as people would rather just go to AI instead.

I think it's a decent choice, since the target demographics of each location are somewhat mutually-exclusive.

Good to know. I'd likely go to the Speedzone one upon confirmation if only to even out the support of each machine. Technika has a good fresh set of regulars in AI as far as I can tell.

You're right in that regard, but now the closest machine to me will actually be further from me than AI's. It looks like I'm gonna start going to CGL now.

nait0 · 08-21-2009, 08:33 PM

yeah, if they move it, the closest machine to me will be CGL, which sucks because its like a half hour drive for me.

Technika is working again! Reporting from inside Boomers right now!

Good to hear! Are they still considering moving it to another location, though?

In another email I got, he mentioned that it wasn't certain yet, just a possibility. I'm just gonna play it as much as I can so it won't be moved due to inactivity and I urge any other local players to do the same. Beat my scores, dammit!

nait0 · 08-22-2009, 04:52 PM

DJ Trend and I just went to play it today. We put in about 10 games each. How's that for inactivity?

Awesome! I'll be there either tomorrow or Monday because my pass doesn't work on Saturdays. And of course for Tuesday as usual.

nait0 · 08-25-2009, 08:49 PM

anybody get their LE panda technika IC card yet? its been a week now and still no sign of mine

DJComet · 08-26-2009, 01:31 AM

Went to Boomers today for some Technika Tuesday and guess what? The machine said "Closed" on the card swipe thing. So my friend and I ask what's up with it and tell him to try unlocking to see if we can get it to work. Anyway, in the end, we found out that it will accept swipes but Technika would not register them as credits in the game. So that meant no Technika for us today.

I'll call Thursday and see if it's working again. It's almost as if they don't want it to make them money.
