New England locals?

Hmm, I get the feeling like I'm the odd man out on this one.. I've never actually been to Funspot :( Since I could drive, whenever I wasn't working or in school I was geeking out at home or at a friend's house either taking something apart or putting it back together. Sometimes the occasional computer game frenzy would pop up, like StarCraft, Diablo, EQ, StarWars and that would completely consume my life for a short while until I got bored.

  Other than that, I'm 27, no kids (but my girlfriend has 2 (5&7) - that's good enough for me!) I live in Saugus, MA (a couple miles  north of Boston). I live with my roommate who, incidentally, is not going to be too happy when he realizes the size of the arcade I'm building :)

  I like camping and hiking (year round! In fact, I just got back from a weekend up at Mount Kinsman!), snowboarding (I'm learning.... slowly...and painfully), electronics (including computers) and other cool gadgets.  I own a motorcycle. I love riding it, but I'm looking to sell it. :(It's too nice of a bike to keep storing it outside where it's going to end up rusted. Anyone looking to buy a sweet looking Honda VT1100 cruiser? :)

  I post random pictures of myself on hotornot.com to illicet feedback from random internet people. I play Risk, Axis and Allies and a homebrew dice-game called Lamps. I smoke cigars and play poker.  I have a dry sense of humor, but sometimes let out a wet one (eeewwwww).

  Uh, I think that's it.

P.S. Oh, and I like Dockside's nachos (with buffalo chicken!)

I work in Hartford and live in Willimantic YOUR heroin capital in New England...

Sounds like we have competing priorities the need to drink beer (ala dave and busters) and to play classic games...  There's a dave and busters in the providence place mall, fwiw.

I haven't been to jillians (beantown) in ages, how is their classic game selection?

where's this funspot you speak of (EDIT never mind clicked on the link) ? Maybe we could carpool or something...  Is there anything more centrally located that is fun spot esque anything in springfield for example?   Milford Amusement center is way at the bottom of connecticut (we got the fun, we got it... and q-zar too!) which is probably way too far for most people...

How about a poll? We call it the "Where the heck do we meet, drink beer and play video games poll.

So far it seems Dave and Busters (Providence) Jillians (Boston) and FunSpot (NH) seem to be the choices.

Anythink this might be a good way to break the logjam?

SirPeale:

FunSpot not only has the 2nd largest arcade in the US, but they have a bar on scene as well.  There are many restaurants in the area.

http://www.pealefamily.net/gallery/ has some great pics of FunSpot.  I'm trying to find more pics of us @ the restaurants we went to, but I'm finding that difficult.
