Texas Together-ing

Gamepro, I've never even seen a IIDX or and ITG machine and I've lived here for years. The only place that I could think of that has them is the Grapevine Mills Mall Arcade. It's a great arcade that's really big, so surely it has something that's kept well and likely more. Only problem with Grapevine Mills is that it's in Grapevine, which actually isn't that far away, now that I look it up. It's north of Arlington, about equidistant from Dallas and Fort Worth.

Okay, so I just called the arcade there and all they have rhythm-wise is DDR 8th mix and Guitar Freaks (and possibly another DDR machine that he said was "regular DDR").

That aside, though, that arcade is awesome for pretty much anything else. I personally don't care about rhythm games, but I know others do. I'm pretty certain, though, that you're not going to find any arcade in the area with a high concentration of rhythm games.

I visit there regularly. They have two DDR machines, one is DDR Extreme and the other is something else, along with Guitar Freaks. But they have awesome AWESOME shooter games. L.A. Machine Guns, Virtua Cop 4, Time Crisis 3...Oh, and they have Marvel Vs Capcom 2 and a really cool Street Fighter game.

Okay, so I just went to an arcade today that had DDR Extreme, PIU, Guitar Freaks, Keyboard Mania, Pop'n, IIDX, and a couple other rhythm games. It's most definitely in Dallas, but it's cheap, too.

And Gamepro, they had what looked like a Dance Dance machine, but it was labeled ITG and turned off. I dunno.

Hey neat, a meet-up that's in my state. Too bad I live too far away to drive there by myself, and we(as in my family) don't take vacations often. Yet another pipe dream...

[Mindfields]

Hory shix, haven't seen you around, Cypher. Do you live South, East, or West?

[imwithstupid5868]

Only putt putt with ITG is the one in Hurst. Has a good extreme machine compared to the one in Arlington. Wish they had kept the initial d machine in there though =(.

I just talked with my parents and there's a high chance of me getting to go to this thing.

[Mindfields]

Ok, since I don't want to go around asking everyone, every one post where they live, or where they will be living, or where they will be staying during the week of the event(s). This would be just a little helpful in planning.

[stretchypanda]

Well, around this time I think I'll be in Dallas. EDIT: Or I may have MY OWN HOUSE in Waco.

Cypher, where do you live? We can try to work something out.

[imwithstupid5868]

Well, all the places that have been mentioned are at max only 30-45 minutes away. I think I can manage =D

[Mindfields]

Well, I'm in Southwest Fort Worth, so the Putt-Putt near Ridgmar Mall, Ridgmar Mall, and the Main Event near Hulen Mall would be most convinient to me, but I travel to Arlington regularly and over the Summer my family will be making trips to Dallas weekly as well, so...yeah.

[Rebirth0]

Right now I'm a little bit East of Kansas City Missouri. I don't know where I'll be staying. When I know all the arcades we're going to, I'll look for a hotel in that area.

[Mindfields]

Try some where on the East skirts of Fort Worth or the West skirts of Arlington. Preferrably Arlington.

[The_Q]

Arlington, however barren, is the best choice.

Another plus for Arlington: It's where I live. You'll see my town.

Q

[Mindfields]

And you'll see my ghetto's and slums!
Wait, that's just the East side.
o0o
And South Side, but it's not half as bad as the East side.

[The_Q]

East St. Louis is ghettos and slums. Right, Gamepro?
