SoCal Arcade Gaming at Droid’s aka Fatherpain Saturday 7/24/21
- Thread starter droid
- Start date
Sadly, the activity in this forum seems like it’s been dead for awhile… at least for SoCal peeps. But I continue to post hoping to find new Neo Geo heads interested in coming out to an Arcade Party… on the verge of finally completing my home arcade after all this time.

Damn, that carpet is fuckin cool! Never seen that pattern before.
Thank you. Finally added Blacklight carpet last week, something I’ve wanted to do for 14 years or so…
Selecting the right pattern was a little stressful as wanted to get it right.
There were (2) other finalists that would have also looked great:

Fucking legend. Met him once. Had a great photo with him but its long gone
Yes, such an amazing guy. Met him earlier this year at the movie premiere for his movie Arcades and Love Songs in Long Beach…
And now he’s honored me with a visit to my Home Arcade
He really enjoyed it and is open to returning next year, so you may get another chance at a photo op

I've yet to check out your awesome arcade, Droid. I know you've been trying to get people to come out, but I'd love to join in the next arcade party you're hosting. If you're still doing them. I gotta put up a high score on that Robotron, that game is my jam.
Whoa! Zenimus! Another option could be lmk when you visit and I’ll throw an arcade party in your honorI really miss going to Droid's awesome arcade meetups. Being in Texas for the last 5 years has put an obstacle in things.
Maybe I can try to coordinate a "family visit" whenever the next one happens!
Thank you opt2not, yes that would be fantastic if you can make it out. Yes still hosting with nice turnouts… though sadly not too many folks from this forum except a few from the good old days. Will send a PM for your contact info so I can send future invites.
Here is a YouTube video tour conducted by CharlieG for his Overtime Arcade Channel when he visited from Washington DC a couple months ago:

Very cool!
I had that Overtime Arcade guy come up as a suggestion a couple years ago. Strange thing was he had a pizza box from pizza place literally in walking distance to me in the background, so I posted a reply. he said it was a friends shop but it was so random seeing that, I though maybe he was in my area.
