Seattle Night Activities For Gamers

KliptKlipt Registered User regular
edited June 2009 in Social Entropy++
Greetings - I've been following the comic religiously for about 5 years, so... long time reader, first time poster.

And I have a quandary that perhaps only you can solve. Yes, YOU.

On July 16th (a Thursday) I'm driving to Seattle, from Montana, to pick up my brother from the airport at 10:00pm, and we'll be driving back the following day.

We are both (more or less) hardcore gamers, and we don't get to the city very often, much less in each others company. We think it would be a crying shame to spend a night in Seattle and not do something preferably video game related. And/or just plain nerdy.

We were thinking we could find an all-night arcade, or laser tag place, or something, but so far my google detective work has revealed no all-night establishments of this ilk. But the PA culture is like the Seattle mecca for all things video game related (and/or just plain nerdy) - so I thought I'd ask YOU!

Two gamers, in Seattle, one night. What can we do? Is there an all-night arcade worth a damn? Or even a sweet bar that has something video-game related going on?

Please help, the future of all mankind, and more specifically the future of one night for two gamers, rests on your suggestions. Thank you.

    I'm driving from Missoula, and it's about an 8 hour drive. It has a little airport, but I think the main concern is my brother is traveling with his dog, and for some reason that I'm not clear about it's OK to fly into Seattle with the dog, but possibly not on the Seattle-Missoula leg.

    I don't know, I didn't ask many questions. I saw an opportunity to take 2 days off of work and spend a night in Seattle and I leapt at it.

    there's gameworks in seattle

    don't know what its hours are

    but there's games there

    I don't know what you expect out of this town, but it ain't some city where people run up to you and challenge you to a game of street fighter if you're wearing your favorite shirt with a picture of a video game controller on it or some shit

    As someone that's lived in Seattle for over 30 years, why are you limiting yourself to gaming in your one night in Seattle?
    I don't care how much you enjoy gaming, there's more to life and maybe you should branch out a little bit and find another way to entertain yourself. The only real arcade in Seattle of any note is Gameworks which definitely isn't all night and in my opinion is still pretty crap. But then, I think arcades in general are pretty shitty these days since most of the games are either years old or dancing/rhythm games.

    All I was hoping for was an all night arcade, or laser tag, or one of those swanky bars that tries to suck in all those hep gamer kids with their touch screen gaming table-tops and... stuff.

    I think gameworks closes down at about 11:00 - but thanks for the suggestion, I'll double check their hours.

    you're driving for eight hours, then driving back for eight hours the next day

    why don't you just get some fucking sleep like a real human

    you wanna see shit, go get a late dinner at some cool bar or something

    fuck trying to track down some damned old video games

    arcades these days are retarded unless you're super into DDR or that lame jurassic park game from 2002 or some shit
