    The machine is kinda busted so you can't play with him. Drinking more is an option.

      I made up a game called Deep Spy Penetration to play whenever I'm drunk and bored indoors. The goal is to get into as many areas of the building as possible without getting told to leave.

      Rules:

      1. Don't be an asshole. Don't steal stuff, break anything or move barricades.
      2. Don't lie to get access. Asking is allowed.
      3. Opening doors with easily missed "no entry" signs is allowed, anything the average person might not see. Don't open doors with blatant warnings.
      4. If you get caught you lose.
      5. If you set off an alarm you mega-lose.

        Only once. My teammate broke rule 1, tried to steal an air filter from maintenance. I didn't want to end up sharing a cell so I ran for the closest exit.

            They are so expensive though. Another pint will last longer, find a cheap pub.

                My local arcade has a $5 entry fee, but games are free. The drinks are around $10 though.

                  If they got other rhythm games, definitely that. Rhythm games and racing games are just about the only arcade games I truly enjoy ( claw machines not included because I consider things like that separate entities ).

                    I would be all for that, but the only one I heard of offering something like that was charging a significant entry fee, like £35 or so.

                        Watch. Nerds playing DDR in front of people is basically their mating dance.

                          Being that I'm the husband who has drunkenly tried the dancing games, I would say my wife is finding the Rockband exhibit. So we don't really go to arcades. We do sometimes stumble into the game room at conventions. And someone always has a modded Xbox 360 and Rockband 3 set up with all the anime songs on it. And you can generally just step up and play. When a lot of people want to play, there's a queue and a system for doing it, but most times we go, you kinda just glance toward the person singing or drumming or whatever you want to do, and they pass off to you when they're done with that song, or ask if it's cool if they do one more, maybe that's their pick they waited for or something. Anyway, I suck at arcade games, so I'm grabbing the Rockband mic. No one wants to sing in public, especially if it's in Japanese and we don't know it. The lyrics are described in romaji (e.g. "arigatou gozaimasu" for ありがとうございました which is to say "thank you very much" and is pronounced something like "ah-dee-gah-tow go-z-eye-moss"). As someone who can pronounce maybe 10-20% of romaji correctly and can kinda wing the rest... it's fun. Plus we turn the mics down and the vocal track up, so if you mess up, you don't ruin the song for the onlookers (you can do the opposite and only hear the vocalist, for example).

                            I'm a huge fan of the Gran Turismo (others as well, including rally) series. I'm pretty good too. I have my own wheel/pedal setup and take beating my PB's on tracks pretty seriously. The handful of times I've played drunk have been insanely great fun. It also reinforced how important it is to NEVER drive drunk

                            I remember when I played a lot of call of duty, it was always surprising when I had one or two drinks and played. I never "felt" impaired, I mean I don't generally feel drunk after just 1 drink, but the numbers didn't lie. I'd go from top 3 on the leader board to bottom 3 (it was frustrating). My reaction time must have been much slower, like significantly slower. And I probably made worse decisions, like when it was safe to reload, or when to swap a weapon for something on the ground.

                                  Fuck... Where in the US are the games more expensive than the pints?

                                  Follow-up question, can you go somewhere else?

                                        I don't live in the US, while each game may be slightly less than a pint they are also over much faster. Never seen anywhere that has multiple options for arcades.

                                          Yeah. Stern is one of the few companies making new tables, and the stuff they produce these days is all about making an account and tracking your games with QR codes. They even have a few where there is a kind of meta-game that you play across multiple rounds. Not really my thing.

                                          A friend of mine got a summer job working a pinball joint, so I've learned to appreciate the game a lot more recently. Helps to have an inside person giving me free plays.

                                          Those Stern games still play if you don't make an account, though.

                                          Source: My local Godzilla machine has consumed many of my toonies, but I refuse to make an account out of principle. Still really fun though.
