The Bipolar Otaku

Well, the team decided that they don't need/want a 3-prong gripper that I was suggesting. So, the "research" that I had planned on doing at Dave & Busters ended up being not-so-important. For the heck of it, I did play one game one the giant claw (a staggering 9 credits!), and didn't manage to get the dragon I wanted. Sucks.

Just as well, only one of the teachers ended up going, and none of the students, as far as I could tell. That one teacher brought his wife and daughter, and I met up with my brother and his fiancee. His daughter was dying to play some DDR rip-off and neither her mother nor father seemed up to the task, so I played my first (and second) game of DDR ever. Surprisingly, even faced against this 10-year younger girl who is a ballet dancer and in much better shape than I am, I somehow won both games, even the second game while I was still suffering from the asthma attack from the first game.
