Building The Ideal Geek Gaming Center?
MongooseCN writes "After seeing the popularity of multiplayer gaming and the desire for fellow geeks to find better means of socializing, I've decided to open up a geek gaming center. It would allow people to play games together in the same building, and to talk and hang out too. I know there are a few of these places already, but few of them have taken into consideration what people want to see in these centers. Most of them open with only the owner's opinion of what would make the place fun. Some don't even allow people to hang out, since they charge by the hour. So what I want to know is what the /. community would like to see in a place like this. I want to start a gathering place for other like minded, techno-savvy geeks. What games, gaming systems/hardware, etc should it have? What would make it a fun place to hang out and meet other people?"
Actually, I thought about posting to let women in free because most geeks are guys and are drawn by girls, right? :)
:)
But then common sense got the better of me. If geeks are talking with the girls, they wouldn't be playing the games and thus no income.
I also knew this guy on the street that dressed like a girl to get into women's only shelters.
Okay, so all I really wanted was a free gaming area

The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.
Make sure there is adequate ventilation and a bunch of automatic air fresheners. Seriously. While it might be a broad generalization, anyone who spent time down in the WotC center on the Ave in Seattle will know what I'm talking about.
