wow, where would u guys go if it closed out (hope it doesn't)?

havesexwithme · 02-05-2007, 01:42 PM

I go to Jungle Fun, Tilt, and Fun Factory (Waikiki and Pearlridge).

Also D&B's when I get the chance.

Personally, I spend a lot of time at Ward when I've got nothing to do. I like movies, so yeah.

Nowhere. Stay home. I'd go out still, yeah but not for gaming anymore.
I refuse to go Fun Factory because it's just a shitpile.
The Drummania is broken nearly all the time, Beatmania The Final is always broken on left pretty much.
Fun Factory WAS fun for me when i used to play Wangan and Initial D. But both of those series have died a significant amount to what it had been before.

Brians is fun for me because like i said before, only Melty Blood and IIDX on the island.
So it's worth the drive down.
Seriously though, i hope Brians doesn't close down.

pearlridge FF?

ditto with jungle fun, FF in waikiki (for supernova), but i'd like to travel outside of town one day. they should fix the left keys in JF for BM the final, however, cuz i want to build my left hand's coordination and brian's BM is the only legit place i can do it.

oh anyone checked out the FF in kapiolani blvd i forgot the name of the shopping center? they have supernova there already?

But do what you can, I guess. I don't go there anymore.

Sad as it sounds, the arcade brings in the most income at Brians ATM. The pool hall doesnt really do shit and i dont really need to question about the snack bar.

Reason why Brians has gone to rock bottom is because they just recently found out that long-time employees (now fired) were stealing money from the company in the thousands/ten-thousands.

Also the techs there dont do their job of fixing the games, they only do money collection and bail soon as theyre done, leaving everything broken.

About the ITG/DDR pads, I dont think Brians can find any suppliers for parts ATM.

If i do get the job there then I will try everything in my power to improve the arcade, get new games and keep the games working.

I wonder if part of the poor Brian's population has anything to do with the past issue of gambling...

Neokaze · 02-06-2007, 03:24 AM

Lol sadly you can hang out at the waikiki FF cuz it opens to I think 2 am (no beatmania but they do have a SC3 and MarioKart). And the MC FF is still underconstruction for another like... 2 or so weeks.

Anyway I say learn how to fix everything from friends/experts/techpeople. Then after hopefully they give you the authority to mess with the machines. Um also what would help Brian's is get a steady flow of people. The lack of support from people like me who just bitch about things and don't go there anymore. One when they say 2am doesn't it mean 2am not like 1am? Two customer service isn't all cracked up to be. Still bitching about that.

But yeah more steady the management the better the place will be. Better place more come-around customers. Then everyones happy. But seriously no I really don't see it. But thats my 2 cents with a bit of if the world could only be thoughts.

At the moment, I very, very rarely go to Brian's. It's nothing to me anymore. Jungle Fun is starting to degrade. Hopefully Willy will leave for one reason or another and we'll get a new manager who is better. At least Nazi has been in the front more often than not these days.

Most of my gaming is done at D&B's these days where I'll spend 3-4 hours playing Pump It Up. The only problem here is that I can only go when my brother does. XD

Mmm...well. Pretty much every Fun Factory :x...
Besides the Mililani Town Center one. The only reason that Beatmania is rarely broken is probably because no one ever plays it.

Best of luck!

(and the IIDX 1P 1 button is kinda broken right now. . .to the point where a certain someone I know failed Crazy K.I.N.O. [A] because of it)

I wish my mom kept her word about starting a new arcade.

She said she would have made it somewhere near Ala Moana or Ward, but then when she saw Brians, she said she didn't want people like that to hang out over there. (Back when smoking was allowed)

We also had the unfortunate luck of seeing something being exchanged in the pool hall...

I'll try ask her about the idea again, since maybe she'll change her mind if I tell her that she won't really have that much competition. >_>

havesexwithme · 02-18-2007, 01:24 AM

The reason Brian's gets the crowd it has is because it doesn't look like a family place and it has a poolhall, plus it allowed smokers at one point. Happy up the arcade a bit, take out the pool hall, disallow smoking, and hire happy employees and you have a safer crowd. The Market City FF gets plenty a teen crowd and as far as I know there is little conflict there. Same goes for Jungle Fun.

Fatealex · 04-05-2007, 01:17 PM

I see you guys talking about all these town side arcades. Is it mainly because of the IIDX and beatmanias on that side? No one ever comes to play ITG on the Kaneohe side. The kids I play with are these freshmen and they're good and all but their accuracy just doesn't go up. The best ITG2 pads on the island and no decent players to share it with. Does ITG really not have that much appeal anymore?
