I’ve live in san mateo most of my life…moved away now there’s a arcade right in the downtown area! Smh!..I will be making a visit hopefully soon…good job thx totoroslayer!
I say we get a group together to head over to Game Center on Wednesday so we can get some 2v2 GUNDAM going, and I’m down to practice for NCR on the console cabinets too.
i’ll definitely have to come down and play sometime soon!
I’ll be there wed for arcana heart 3 and AE :). Can’t wait to see this place
Went there yesterday, really like the place. Very open space with a great setup. GGs to everyone who played Marvel and AE.
Thanks for the kind words, all. We’re normally closed today, but I figured I’d open an extra day for people who wanted to get some NCR practice in. We’re up and running right now, for anyone who wants to come by and get some games in.

Nice! Definitely nice that this spot is near the house and all the cool food spots like Curry Up Now and Joy Sushi.
I’ll definitely be a regular here.
Me, Coopa and others will be here today. Stop by for some Gundam and NCR practice.
Great place you got Myung! Definitely gonna be coming as often as I can whenever I’m down there on Fridays.
GGs to everyone I played. Gotta start working on Blazblue again for next time.
Definitely gonna start coming by after work!
this seems pretty cool. I will check it out this week.
Should be heading over tomorrow with a special guest. Larry! Hope to see people there for AE and GvG
Made a couple updates to the website (www.gamecenterarcade.com) as well as a special Twitter offer. Check out our Facebook page for details (http://www.facebook.com/gamecenterarcade). See you all tomorrow!

**edit: **I went last night.

[] Seemed like a really cool place. Seems like a cool venue to hold local tournaments or maybe a ranbat season, Thursday nights or something.
[]It was 7 bucks to play on the console cabs for the whole day which was a good deal considering the arcade cab was 1 buck to play and most people were playing the cpu that i saw sit down there.
[]The owner seemed like a really cool guy. All the sticks were working fine, at least for SF4 and MvC3, I didn’t play anything else.
[]The cabs are all really nice. Much better than what I am used to.

suggestions:
[LIST]
[]Keep track of what games get the most usage on the Console cabs. If Arcana and Tekken, Blaz isnt getting a lot of run and there are 10-15 SF4 players there that night, it could be cool to get an extra SF4 cab running.
[]Similar to what Starbase has, a dedicated day to a tournament. Granted Starbase stays open late but maybe Gamecenter can accommodate a later close one night of the week? Every Thursday - Tournament in X game from 8:30pm-Whenever done AM. Can be streamed to get more publicity to the scene and your arcade. Whatever game was being played, you can have 4 of them running on the arcade cabs. Charge like $7 to enter Tourney and the Arcade keeps $2 bucks with $5 going to the tourney pot. Maybe keep a season record, Ranbat style, with leader boards for X amount of weeks. Similar to Weds night fights.
[]A garbage can near the console cabs.

I’d like to drop by again this weekend, but I’m too busy. I’ve been itching to get some more bbcs2/ah3/mvc3 (and maybe some garou) comp. Me and Gensou will be around next Friday/Saturday, though. I’m hoping to get some 925 guys to come with, too.
Have you looked into possibly picking up melty blood or something like that?
Good showing yesterday, lots of fun on AE and GvG. Looks like I got new characters in both games.
Looks like Street Fighter 3: Third Strike is up and running on the cabinets as is Dungeons and Dragons. Also, looks like there’s some hype behind GvG 2v2 Ranbats? I’m down.
Me and several others will head over to gamecenter later tonight. I’ll see you guys then!
GGs to everyone who played AE last night. I was the scrubby Dudley/Guile o_O
Should probably update the thread title to reflect the actual name of the Arcade
