Yahtzee and Pals to Open Videogame Bar

[violentstatistics]

Man, hope these guys have good insurance. Bar room brawls, alcohol spills are gonna be fucking expensive

 

[Manhattan2112]

That's the most awesome thing I've ever heard of. I simply must start my own.

 

[Yug]

Cheers for the support guys

And don't worry, Michael Atkinson has no power over a licenced venue or the games we have there. The fact that we are 18+ only means we'll have no issues with kids playing adult games ... you know, those under the age of 15 apparently

Michael Atkinson dartboard ... I'm warming to the idea

 

[Allevil]

Oooooooh yeah. I gotta check this out opening week.

 

[Shycte]

Sounds great. To bad I live in Sweden.

Sounds like it'll be tough with the economic parts tough. But maybe I'm wrong.

 

[Deofuta]

Wow this sounds like a great idea! Yahtzee may never see this post, but here it goes, if this proceeds to be a great hit, do you plan on opening more around other parts of Australia/ the world? Maybe it would one day make it to America, and my life would be complete.

 

[crotalidian]

Kill Mikey A and I may consider relocating to AU!

I know they are not game related per se but I hope they put Romulan and Dwarven ale on the menu and the creation of the Pan-Galactic-Gargle-Blaster (there is an eart recipe) would be fantastic!

 

[maverickhunter]

Must remind myself to beg for a duty station in Australia. Though, I doubt my COs will be that kind.

Still, awesome idea. I just hope he does decide to expand when the time comes (put one on the USA East Coast)

They need more of these across the world. Too bad most of the big ones fail (omega sektor) and you're left with ones that are either miles away and the journey is too difficult or small ones with about 4 computers and age restrictions all over the place :/

Age restrictions are a good thing. It means theres no 14 year old kid trying to drink spirits and vomiting all over the place.

And if parents didnt allow there kids to play age restricted games, then xbox live would be a glorious place to be....... well, nearly

OT: This is brilliant, definatly needs a small venue but this should be rolled out to towns and citys across the world. You could definatly make lots of money.

Be sure to avoid scunthorpe, pikeys can and will steal all the pint glasses and controllers.... and tv's, consoles, stools etc

 

[DoctorObviously]

Damned, I live in Europe so it wuld be so hard for me to go visit the bar.

I mean age restrictions on even entering. The only place within reasonable distance of Omega Sektor when it closed was a little cybercafe where you had to be 16 to even go in. and this was back when i was 15 at the time. I have no problem with age limits on drinks etc. But i can't go in to a cybercafe for a few hours lan gaming? That's just pointless restrictions.

 

[soren7550]

Too bad I live in America and I'm not even 18 yet. (will be in a month & a day though.)

 

[Yug]

Yahtzee won't, but I will, and I'm one of the other 'Pals' mentioned in the article

Wait until we've opened ONE venue first, then we'll see about other cities/countries. It's WAY too early to be thinking that way though.

 

[Azmael Silverlance]

WHYYY WHYY IN BRISBANE! open it here in Sydney
That way overseas members that come on a holiday can check out the place too ((
But honestly that is a GOD DAMN AWESOEM IDEA!

 

[FinalGamer]

I sincerely hope this becomes a chain of bars, and he better put one in Dundee.
because it's close to me and it has a lot to do with videogames like the creator of Lemmings and GTA came from there and they have videogame courses at the university and Realtime Worlds who made Crackdown are established there.

....oh please put up a bar in Dundee if this becomes a chain D:


Seriously, all the best, hope this bar gets going real well.

 

[Takoto]

That sounds... just brilliant... damn it, why can't we have that here in Sussex...

 

[13lackfriday]

OK well the name is fucking brilliant, hands down.

Sounds great.
I'd love to have an establishment where I could go for nightly LAN parties and drinks.

Unfortunately, it'll give that ol' Atkinson bastard a ready target.

 

[The Lost Big Boss]

They need the bartender to be dressed like the merchant in RE4. "What are ya buying?"

 

[Ohlookit'sMatty]

Well this sounds like something quite interesting to set up, pitty I live know where near Australia but I shall be passin the info on to friends who do

-M

 

[Lazy Kitty]

Finally, after all those reasons not to go to Australia, there's one to go.
