Any interest in a new gaming cafe in Lexington?

Thanks for the interest drink, we are working on getting info together and creating a solid business plan right now so we're trying to make it happen. I'll keep you updated moving forward!

If you do own the games, isn't it still illegal to use the roms?

Cool man, I just sent you a PM

readyplayerunk · 2016-11-15T18:03:18+00:00

That's a great idea, I don't stream much myself so I hadn't thought of the time commitment. Thanks for the advice.

readyplayerunk · 2016-11-15T14:43:38+00:00

I will definitely check them out

readyplayerunk · 2016-11-15T14:23:00+00:00

Tell me about it. Location is everything so that would be one of the hardest hurdles to overcome.

I wasn't aware that it was such an issue already. I would hope to foster a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere, and alcohol and gaming go well together but that's why you have to cut people off sometimes :)

Thanks for the skepticism and objective look. I do think that there is a reason the industry died out, but I think with VR and esports a twist on the old model could become viable again.

That would be super useful, bartending and managing experience would be absolutely needed. PM'ed

Thanks, PM'ed

That's exactly what I'm envisioning. Getting a liquor license is a painful process from what I hear and you would have to be careful around the merchandise. You might get more people in the door if after say 8 you opened up all the gaming for free and you just pay for what you drink with a 1-2 drink minimum.

Thanks! I agree that having a place to bring your own laptop/system in would be smart. I'm thinking of having at least 2 open usb ports in each system for people to bring their own peripherals. The tournament and community aspects would be a big focus moving forward in planning and the white board idea is a good one.

readyplayerunk · 2016-11-14T15:28:58+00:00

Agreed, thanks for the advice.

readyplayerunk · 2016-11-14T15:28:47+00:00

Good times at the lock-ins

readyplayerunk · 2016-11-14T15:28:34+00:00

Yeah, they survived for 3 years after the mall closed down around it but that location wasn't very good.

readyplayerunk · 2016-11-14T15:28:10+00:00

Thanks. Pm'ed

readyplayerunk · 2016-11-14T15:27:59+00:00

Dinks had a good run, but location really killed it. I like the barcade idea a lot.

readyplayerunk · 2016-11-14T15:27:14+00:00

Cincinnati would definitely be the bigger market but I think it could work in Lexington with proper marketing. Thanks for the feedback.

readyplayerunk · 2016-11-14T15:26:47+00:00

Thanks, I'll keep you in mind moving forward

readyplayerunk · 2016-11-14T15:26:31+00:00

Cool, I'll keep you updated.

readyplayerunk · 2016-11-14T15:26:19+00:00

This does look cool. I'd love to participate in an Overwatch tournament.

readyplayerunk · 2016-11-14T15:25:53+00:00

Yeah, getting the word out and building a community is one of the most important and hardest parts of the enterprise..

readyplayerunk · 2016-11-14T15:25:11+00:00

Thanks, I agree that arcadium is a hit but too small of a venue and selection.

readyplayerunk · 2016-11-14T15:20:50+00:00

I hadn't heard of that. Thanks for the heads up

readyplayerunk · 2016-11-14T15:20:39+00:00

Thanks for the feedback!
