I really hope they turn the second floor of the Starcade into Flynn's arcade as some have predicted.

Hopefully they'll iron out the kinks before I get there in July.

While it may not be for everybody, it's a lot more appealing to me (despite having my last name in neon on the outside of its predecessor)

I will take Flynn's thank you very much. Oh and on physical vs. electronic, I agree, I like physical arcade games more. If this was a vintage Penny Arcade like the one they used to have on Main Street I would go nuts for it, but it is not.
