Gaming Pub

Offer out free shots to hedgehogs.

Do you have a similarly intense bouncer as they do at Hi-Lo? You know the one? The man who screams in your face if you open the second door before the first door has closed?

That's just the owner isn't it?

[Lost Oliver]

No, it's a younger guy in his 30s who is absolutely terrifying. One second he's nice, a smile on his face, the next he's shouting at you for a slight infringement that you've no idea about.

As you say though, the owner isn't exactly a barrel of laughs but I have met some unbelievable people there.

[Cuellar]

Sounds about right, must be taking his cues from the owner. Although I did spend a reasonably nice evening watching Caribbean T20 with him when we got there far too early and were the only people in there.

[The Boston Crab]

My mate took a photo in there on a camera about twenty years ago and Hi-Lo had a fucking eppie and legged him out the place with a massive knife raving that he'd stolen his soul.

We have a similarly black and white approach to people trying to 'capture the moment' in the Gaming Pub. Two kills.

[Cuellar]

Now that is interesting, because one of the first times I went there someone I was with was taking photos and the guy went mental. My friend was also from the Caribbean so they got into a bit of a patois-off, didn't understand most of it. But the owner eventually calmed down.

[Sebastian Cobb]

Is Hi-Lo what Skee-lo turned into after he got his wish?

[The Boston Crab]

I heard Rastas believe you steal their soul if you replicate their image. Might be bullshit. In any case, it won't stop us running our monthly Photo Mode competition. I took a great freeze frame one from Mario Odyssey where it looks like Mario is pinching the arse of one of the human women holding a skipping rope in New Donk City. You should see the look on his face as his gloved fingers approach her svelte arse. Hilarious.


Seb, best comment in the thread probably .

If only there were a way we could.

This is the reality of the pub, isn't it? Bosto sitting alone in his pants, fucking around with photo mode on Mario Galaxy, stinking.

Sounds lush. Count me in.

The "gaming" pub that opened in our town in the mid 80s lasted less than a month and was lucky to last that long. Whoever thought of putting the Jenga table right up against the Hungry Hippos table really didn't think it through.

[Cold Meat Platter]

One downside of this kind of thing that i've heard of is that someone could get sucked into one of the games somehow and forced to compete in some kind of hellish tournament.

[Voltan (Man of Steel)]

Well Hungry Hippos is very addictive. A friend claims he knew an HH savant who could think up to thirty moves ahead. Probably bullshit though.

[Ferris]

Jenga is a really good analogy for this thread. How much further can TBC push it?

[kittens]

ah, yes, jenga, the game of seeing how far you can push things.

Or pull, or tap the blocks out, or bend the rules and hope no one notices. A lot to be said for it really.

[ToneLa]

Have lock ins where the regulars can make porn videos!

[NoSleep]

Replace all the tables with these:

[Mister Six]

Tell you what would be a good name for the pub - Altered Yeast.

[Bazooka]

You didn't own 8-bit in Beijing did you?

[NoSleep]

You should have a few traditional games around as well, including ones, like the cocktail arcade machine, that will pay their way. Pinball, bar billiards (haven't seen one of these for decades) and pool tables. Also freebies like darts, bar skittles and shove halfpenny (or "shove 2p").

Nearby to me is a pub that claims to be the venue for the world marbles championships (according to the signs outside). So, marbles, too.

GET FUCKED

[NoSleep]

Technically, the yeast is the alterer, not the altered.

[Twed]

That doesn't mean that yeast cannot be altered. The title does not have to describe the standard. Beasts don't come altered by default.

[NoSleep]

But there is a long tradition of mutated beasts in fiction, films and games.

There's a long tradition of curing yeast infections by altering the yeast to be dead.

What's your favourite game on that theme?
