I don't know why but I always thought Paul Bearer was dead.

Hrm. What do you think? Snake oil, or something more?

They are totally hype for making you good at games, but probably do help a LITTLE with eye strain. They also help with getting like 50 hoes.

I assume it's impossible to compete as a LAN center since they're the exact same thing as everyone has at home. With online play as good and convenient as it is, it's hard to pay to get the same experience, minus the rowdy togetherness.

Yeah, I'm not surprised as much as I am disappointed. There was something to be said for having everyone next to one another and having all of the games available. My friends and I had planned to play L4D2 this Sunday. It was easy and convenient to get everyone together, and at $10 for a full day it was well worth the price.

An email I just got.
For 13 years Net Heads has created a world class gaming experience for thousands of Indiana gamers, taught hundreds of future video game developers in our Create and Play Camps and entertained dozens of corporate groups with our Racing To Go mobile simulators.

But I’m a good bit older than when we started and I personally find myself wanting to spend more time with my five sons, to travel more with my wife and, frankly, to slow down a bit.

To accomplish that, while Net Heads will continue to offer our Racing To Go entertainment packages and our Create And Play Camps next summer, we will no longer be open for retail customers at our Main Street location in Carmel effective today.

In order for our retail business to grow and prosper it needs more energy and time than I can give it. Qualified buyers wishing to discuss the purchase of Net Heads are welcome to contact us at: netheads@outlook.com.

Supporters and retail customers wanting to contact us can continue to do so through our Facebook page.

Over the years, my family and I have collected countless memories of exciting and fun experiences with all of you. On behalf of my family, Josh and the Net Heads staff, I’d like to thank you for your support and patronage; it’s been a great run.

yeah I just checked my email and messaged bill. Well fuck! At least he's trying to sell it. I hope someone buys.

From knowing all the management for some years...they're very good people. But they ran it.....not very enthusiastically. No marketing campaign, no special services or offers, they just tucked themselves away in a corner in carmel and wondered why they aren't getting as much traffic as they did in b ripple

That'd be cool if they could keep it alive. Maybe Brian and Brandon can buy it and open an arcade and lan center. They'll always have customers and can quit their jobs to work full time at the new place. They'll also attach a bar, and have a room dedicated to table top games and Korean BBQ. IndyDDR will have monthly lock-ins and we'll all go back to being friends again.
