I hate Dave & Busters!!
Ladies and gentlemen, there is a reason Chuck E. Cheese is meant for children nine years and below. Initially, I thought there might be something mildly exhilarating about combining the children's arcade setting with the adult bar scene. But little did I realize that this combination makes D&B's even more cheese-tastic and annoying than the original clean and safely cheesy Chuck E. Cheese. Think back to when you were a little kid and you went to arcades like Chuck E. Cheese, LazerQuest or GameZone and quickly enough you would get enraptured with the process of gaining tickets to win prizes that at the time seemed out of this world. Whether it was the stupid rubber frog thingy that you lost five minutes after you brought it back to your home or some stupid toy worth way more than 10,000 tickets that lights up at night, for some reason, you would go crazy about accumulating vast amounts of tickets to win these ridiculous prizes. All of your actions and temporary insanity were justified by the fact that you were pre-adolescent and had hardly experience much of the world. Now, imagine this same mentality in a full-blown twenty five year old adult, or worse, a forty year old. Can you imagine how pathetic it looks now that you're of age and you're still sadly striving for practically the same crap, only now the stupid light-up toy is a T-shirt and the rubber frog is a mug that says Dave & Buster's on it? You have people at D&B's who not only lose total inhibition as a result of being under the influence but combined with the innate desire to gain tickets and win prizes with your gains creates a sort of sick messed up version of what good clean fun used to be. Personally, I was pretty disappointed with the potential that D&B's could have possessed, but, unfortunately, I forgot that most people, like Sarah Palin, never grow up.
