Georgetown Gaming Cafe
Dunno if this is too much about DDR, but I wanted to ask somewhere...Has anybody heard of the new gaming cafe at Georgetown Square (this is Ft. Wayne). I heard they have a ton of consoles and games set up (I've heard everything from Halo 2 to DDR, to NES). I'm going there to check it out, see what all the hype is about.

I checked it out, it's a pretty fun place. They have a bigscreen set up with an Xbox for DDR (they have all 3) and they have 2 metal dance pads (off-brand...not too sensitive, but okay enough). They also have about 16 stations with Xboxes set up for H2, all system-linked, and 5 360s with a big selection of games. They have food and drink as well. I think it's something like $4.75 an hour for the first hour and then less after that, and on Saturdays I think, from 11 AM to 5 PM is only $7. So yeah, pretty good, I'll definitely be going again (I liked the fact that I was the best at DDR and Halo there).

Just consoles or do they have a pc LAN setup? Cause if it's just consoles, I can see them going under super fast.dance1005 wrote:I checked it out, it's a pretty fun place.

I dunno, if they have a decent 360 selection, then it may last for a while.SoDeepPolaris wrote:Just consoles or do they have a pc LAN setup?

Annnnd question: How do they keep track of people who have paid and whatnot? Couldn't a kid just walk in, pay for an hour, and play for like 5?
SDP: They only have consoles (and only Xbox consoles, at that). They actually didn't just open...they've been around since Feb., and it actually seems to be going pretty well.
Mex:It's not too crowded, and there's a computer there and it has an Excel spreadsheet up with everybody and how long they can stay till...it's not that huge of a place either, but yeah I guess you might manage to get away with staying longer than you should if you keep real quiet in the back and stuff. But they prolly wouldn't let you back.

I know they aren't new, they just tend to flop really easily.Potter wrote:all you guys are acting like gamung cafes are a new thing. go to netheads or atomic cafe or something
Only time I goto a lan cafe is for tourneys(it's been years), or if I'm out of town and I need to feed my WoW cravings.

I think if they have a certain kind of business license (like a video rental store has) they can charge legally.Green Tea wrote:don't they need consent from the game developers to be making a profit from their game.... or in that case: making a profit on people playing a certain system? I may be completely wrong, but I think that's illegal.
They do have all sorts of refreshments at X-Scape (that's the name of the place). They have a way better deal on pops than TnT, too. For a size the same or bigger than TnT's large it's $1.50 (as opposed to TnT's $2.00) and the refills are 25c (as opposed to TnT's 27c...which makes me grr cuz you can't just use a quarter).
