They got a new air hockey table. It's called Ice Hockey Challenger 2008. It makes a lot of noise and has carbon fiber corners. It makes this really loud laser sound whenever the puck hits the rails and gives you tickets. I really hate it but you air hockey enthusiasts (if any are left) may be interested.

Wait...  how would it give you tickets?! Like, you hit the sides more or something? Or per point?    The sound part sounds really annoying, and I'm not sure what good carbon fiber corners would be... but definitely sounds interesting!

I'll have to check it and the NX2 out soon!

Tony and I were there last night - this machine is REALLY obnoxious. It makes the sounds whenever anything hits ANY part of the table hard enough, including your mallot. There was a slot for tickets to come out of, but I didn't see any tickets. Maybe I just forgot to care.

Last night was also my first time playing NX2. Pro-tip: Don't play NX2 after eating a big waterfront seafood meal.

any word on the new brackets?

The new brackets arrived today and have been installed. They work extremely well and the bars are totally solid now. Go try it!

They ordered two sets so the NX machine should be getting them soon as well.

awesome. the NX isn't even that bad yet but the NX2 was ridiculous. maybe i'll head over today. i think i have a lot of free time today.

machine is good.

the air hockey thing wasn't loud at all.. maybe they turned it down.

MEGABUMP

They finally got PIU NX Absolute.

I've been waiting for who knows how long.

PS - It looks awesome; u guys should check it out.

PPS - I've already set a few records off of sightreads

oh snap i havent been there in so long. maybe i should stop by there this weekend

holy shit i didn't think they would get it. going there asap

Excellent!

Now I gotta get in shape again...

Say "goodbye" to my (M2049) records

I knew they weren't gonna last long.

So the big question: Do they have NXA drives?

And the other big question: How are the pads?

I'll be back July 7th guys. Davyn and I will tear up WorldMax like you don't even know.

NX2 USB's will work, and you can even use your old data (100% NX2 = ~44% NXA). Using a new USB let you unlock the four hidden songs but they'll be available for everyone next month.

I lost my USB with just two missions left for nx2.  If you start a new one you can bypass the old missions after updating but I don't know if it works with an nx2 USB (I have an extra unused one). Guess I'll find out soon enough.

ballin. i'll have to go sometime it's been quite a while.

Went today. Machine is good. Bars are holding up and the volume was decent. Pads need a bit of work though, triples aren't as easy as they used to be. They don't have any new USB's, so I'm gonna have to get one sent from my people in Korea to play some new missions.

NXA is great.

If you're getting a USB can I have one too? I'll pay you whatever you have to pay plus $10.

Sorry but they already went and got it before I saw your post. But if I (we? you should be back when you read this) can get to the new missions before my new USB comes in I'll let you keep the NX2 one I just started. If I can still get the four secret songs with a new USB they should be opened up on the machine for anyone as well.

Yeah alright, I'll be popping over to the Waterfront imminently. Sounds good!

They have a Guitar Hero machine. It's $.75 and does the "high score board covers the entire screen at all times" thing when it gets too hot. It's next to the NXA where Ocean Hunter was, so there's no bench to sit on now. But they told me they'll probably move it by the counter so the two games don't interfere. They should move Hammer 2 and that air hockey though.

I got my NXA USB so hopefully I can dedicate some time to new missions. But the weather doesn't look too friendly for the next few days.

I can't believe how many times I've walked by this place without knowing about it. Granted I've only lived here for a year, but still. Well I'm gonna check it out when I get back to Seattle. I want to get better at PIU badly.

I'll be there in two weeks. I'm gone for a while.

This place only has 3 ratings! Please take 3 seconds to rate it (using the box at the top of the page).

Okay, I just went in today. I talked to someone who is either the manager or owner (I don't know) and he said that there's definitely a possibility of them getting Fiesta if enough people play Pump there again. The pads are in great condition and the monitor is pretty decent. USB slots work and he does have a few USB drives left for sale in case anyone doesn't have them. Come and Pump It Up!

Anyone else get weirded out about stomping on a dancing game about 10ft above the ocean's surface? I can't help but shake the feeling that one day, my fat ass will make the machine, me, and half the arcade fall straight through the floor and into the ocean.
