Minnesota crew - Page 39

So Minnesota.

All I know about Minnesota is that the way I remember the shape of Minnesota was to imagine a soda can slightly crushed as if somebody wanted to make it mini.

Anyways, I'm going to be there for business for a while. I think my hotel is about 30 mins away from the MSP airport.

Is there any places around that are kinda cool or whatever?

Well there's a Gameworks downtown that you can basically take the light rail right to, and there's always the Mall of America. I think there's a new-ish Dave and Busters somewhere in the northern Twin Cities area now? I haven't been back there in about a year, so I'm not sure if it's actually been built yet.

Man why'd you have to go and live in MN the one summer I DIDN'T go home?

Yeah, there's a Dave & Buster's in Brooklyn...Park? Center? One of those. It's actually pretty good. Pump NX machine that's in perfect condition, Virtua Tennis 3 DX cab, some random fun shooting games. Good deal on buying food and a $10 card too.

It's in maple grove, which is about 5 or 10 minutes away from Brooklyn Park.
And the brunswick zone in Brooklyn Park has a ITG2 dedicab.

And the Waterpark of America (right next to the Mall of America) has a Pump it Up NX2 in great condition.

And yeah, gameworks in Minneapolis. But the pads are less than desirable. And it's pretty over priced.

Okay there's my 2 cents.

EDITTTT - Yes, the Mall of America was the PIU hotspot in the Twin Cities for quite a long time. But over the past few years, they have gotten rid of ALL 4 pump machines. 2 of the arcades closed, and the one with the 2 best machines was bought out by manco. Now all they have is a really bad supernova with the difficulty turned all the way up. Though, I'd still make sure to drop by if you have the time, it's worth going to if you've never been there before.

Theres also a Pump NX Machine, that is pretty decent at Valley Fair, but it costs a dollar to play 4 songs.

The pedal for percussion freaks at Maplewood (the only other bemani in state now), sucks. they only fixed the hi-hat and cymbals. but don't take my word for it, I just go there every now and then because I don't like to ride the bus there.

To visit the Mall of America? I think I'll do that.

Thanks for the heads up on arcade locations, but to tell you guys the truth I don't really do that arrow stomping business much anymore. Are there any other attractions in the area that I could check out during the late afternoon / evening?

So where's phone getting to play NX2? I HAD a bone to pick with him and the ranking system, but it sounds like he doesn't have a machine to play on. =(

phone · 07-07-2008, 01:24 PM

At the waterpark of America. It's a great machine.
What's your name on the ranking system anyway mills? I'd like to look up some of your scores, or compare or whatever.

Mills McDougle · 07-07-2008, 01:26 PM

NX0138 LOL. I'm retarded and registered it wrong, and psyched my way out of having my name on my usb.

You're beating me in a lot of the shit. My best grand score is kinda low, but I think I might have some pretty good scores on some of the individual songs. I need to find the time to go play so I can just hammer the damn thing.

PatrickIIDX · 07-07-2008, 02:55 PM

so is the shitty 5th mix machine still at Grand Slam Coon Rapids, and the DDR Extreme Plus Bootleg still at Grand Casino Hinkley? I haven't been to either in ages.

edit: from what I'm seeing on ddrfreak.com, its now an extreme machine.

no more old school DDR here.

Haha yeah, Jake did the same thing and is NX21549. He's gotten ridiculous at it over the past couple months.
But yeah, I've gotta go play more of them as well. I haven't played like any of the new songs yet.

Mills McDougle · 07-08-2008, 01:01 AM

Who's Jake?

phone · 07-08-2008, 01:32 AM

Shadowcol, he was the tall redheaded kid at MMS.

Mills McDougle · 07-08-2008, 01:52 AM

I don't remember him. :O

I'm a horrible person.
