Ebash - Bloomington

Post by lgolem » Wed Feb 13, 2008 4:53 pm

So I saw that there is a thread for the Terra Haute location, but I just discoverd today, as I was driving to K&K (the GXS's distributor). Ebash has opened in Bloomington. It is kinda in a crappy location (way over on the other side of town far from campus. It is tucked away in a stripmall that is barely noticable from 3rd street, located between Once Upon A Child and Subway (and for those of us 18 or over if we get bored and tired of the sausage fest, Presilla's is like 3 doors down). As of now, no dance games, but I figured I would start the thread just in case they do get one. :D

So it's a bunch of computers and consoles you can play games on?

Weird, traditional arcades are dying a slow death, so now places are springing up where you can play 'home' games in public with other people.

I could see this being great fun for something like Rock Band, where getting 4 willing participants into your home at once would be difficult. Has anyone been yet?

We have a flyer at my house. It's not so much of an arcade as it is a LAN Center from what I gather. You can buy hour passes, 3 hour passes, or all day event type stuff. It sounds fun for network games and stuff and I'll be keeping an eye out for tournaments (especially Counter-Strike!). Would be fun for a lan party, not sure what kind of games they have and I'm sure you can bring your own.

It is pretty much along the lines of a net Cafe, minus the cafe and add a bunch of home systems. Some ofthe otherplaces with same frenchis have arcade games in them ( neo geos and DDRs usually ), I will be checking it out here in like 10 minutes.

As opposed to folks our age. Many of the kids there were probably 12-16.
