kids these days...

Post by cait001 »

Do not proceed unless you're ready to facepalm with Picard :FP:

Stumbled on a youtube channel run by a young kid named Arcade Warrior, and what is it? Nothing but videos of him playing redemption machines, ticket machines, coin pushers, claw machines and such.
This is what the next generation conceives of when they think of "arcade"! ack

I think we need to modify that idea a bit. Have zombies putting quarters into redemption machines or slot machines. Pretty poetic. I think the symbolism would be obvious to everyone :-) Then make it a first person shooter. :lol: Once an area is cleared, you can then set it up with pins and vids. That's the bonus round.

I always viewed redemption machines as slot machines for kids.

I'm sure all the woodrail collectors think the same about us "kids" and our $8K luck boxes.

Different strokes.
