Chuck E. Cheese’s

Dined at Chuck E. Cheese yesterday. Went on my lunch break with brave co-workers: Jen, Sean, Geoff and Brittney. We had our lunch club meeting there. It was pretty cool actually. Jen brought coupons so we got a good deal on pizza and an ample supply of tokens for gaming joy.

At first it was a bit awkward, apparently they don’t get many adults with no accompanying children to spend their lunches there. But once we figured out the system of ordering pizzas and getting some find beverages it wasn’t too bad. First I challenged Geoff to a race in Mario Kart. Sadly after a few laps I broke the steering wheel, a steering wheel 507 error to be specific. Turned the wheel way too hard and from then on remembered that most of the games are designed for children and I should take it a bit lightly on them.

Skee ball was fun. Very difficult for me to break. Though I’m not very good at it, but once I figured out to roll them a lot softer my score began to go up. The bear hunting game was great. You shot bears with a shotgun light gun. Not sure why poor bears were the target in this game, but it was really fun. Sean had the high score and was a natural bear hunter. Though we were both guilty of shooting innocent cubs on a number of occasions.

Everyone seemed to have a good time. I was afraid that we’d really seem out of place and want to leave early, but we used up all the tokens. Pizza was terrible so in the future you might want to BYOP, but playing arcade games on a lunch break turned out to be quite the adventure.
