Better arcades in Indpls.
We need more Extreme machines in Indianapolis area. all the good mixes are up north it seems.
Evangelion is the Awesome!
Westside is at 38th and High School Rd., just off the interstate. You can see the giant orange doors for their go-kart track from the interstate. And yes, they do have Extreme.
Oh, and this is more of a locations thing.

If you are no longer connected to the internet, you need to apply more wax to your modem: it'll make it go faster.
If you find this funny, you're a nerd.
If neither of the above apply, you are normal. Congratulations.

I tried to look for that place to. 38th and High School Road? Hmmmm... off the interstate? Like coming from the Highway right? I live on the Westside so I want to be sure. I could use that place for serious practice!MonMotha wrote:Westside is at 38th and High School Rd., just off the interstate.

They're actually on 37th street near High School road. Take I-465 to the 38th street exit, take 38th street east to the first street (High School Road), take that to 37th westbound. There's a sign on High School road for Westside Fun Park.
However, Westside is currently closed for the season since their primary business is go-karting.

I wouldn't call if very good. The left side has a bit of a problem with the right arrow, and the right yellow selection arrow on this side tends to stick too.yamcha61 wrote:Ben and Ari's has a very good version of Max 2GaKki wrote:I miss good ol' Max 2
The machine also gets pretty bad glare when they have the houselights on, and the screen is really, really dark for some reason. And when the houselights are on, it's really, really hard to see the screen because the reflections are much brighter than the screen it's self.
They keep the volume kinda loud, but the speaker on the right side tends to go out sometimes.
Also, the machie's arrows seem to get LOTS of dirt on them, making the playing surcafe kinda slippery. I've messed up several times because I had to catch myself from falling.
X-site has a better of a 7th Mix machine. The only problem with that one is that it cost 0.75 cents per game instead of 0.50 cents like Ben and Ari's does.

And the clientele isn't as friendly as B&As. Of course, Castleton's been getting seedy lately.

I never get tired of playing infront of all those people lining up to play some laser tag, then getting applauded for my preformance. =D
Don't get me wrong. Ben and Ari's is a good place, and it's cheaper. But there's just a lot of little problems that kinda make it unfun' I especially love how they've kinda roped the game off a little bit, and added chairs around it. That does make a big difference.
Ben and Ari's is acutally where I usually end up playing. But only because Yume makes me.
It's not a bad place, it just needs a little work.

Maybe my visits have been when some real asshats decided to crash the party.
Hmmm...I'm sure if you told the guy in charge of Ben and Ari's about your problems, they might fix it.
And I have bad experiences with the glare myself. It's been a couple of months since I've been there and I'm told that they moved the machine, maybe of out the glare.
haha, a bhile back, The old manager of Ben and Ari's kicked me out for "breaking" their already broken DDR pad. One of the arrows had a shard broken off, and it would have been dangerious to play on that side. The dude threw a fit and kicked me out for playing too rough with the pad.Mr. Worm wrote: Well, yeah, some do that.

I donno, that place has been though a lot of changes. And frankly, I feel that this is their best incarnation since they had 6th mix. I still love X-site more, but Ben and Ari's is acutally worth going to now.
Maybe your problem with the people there is because you go at night, and tend to get stuck with the seedier High School/Middle School kids. Were as I go durring the day and get stuff with all the little kids and their Mommies.
