I have a couple of favorite places that I like to hang out at. One of the places that I like the best is the arcade that I go to. I have been there since it opened and I know the people a long time. Me and my friends hang there and when we play games we get to play for free sometimes. Just recently I got a playstation 2 , and they gave me a $10.00 discount which was pretty cool. The place has arcade machines which are modern machines and a change machine. It also has cardboard ads that stand up on the floor of the place also new movies that will come out on video. The arcade is the places that makes your life all the worthwhile.
The place has systems that you can buy and try for free. Usually you cant play them unless you are getting a game and want to see how it is before you buy it. Usually after 4 or 5 hours of playing the game He ( the owner) will let us go and try some of the systems. The place has marble floors and white walls. It has showcases with the games in it and a counter where they have a guard dog in it. The dog is very nasty and cruel to robbers that will try to rob the store.
The place is real cool and is right under the J/Z train. So all I have to do it take that train to cresent street and take the stairs down and go to the right and there it is the arcade, and oh yeah the name of the place is called " Fulton Family." If I could go and be a worker in that place I would because it is a cool place and they are always versing us ( me and my friends) on a arcade fighting game. They are as good as the people who make the games.
I have not been to the place in about 2 months. I have been busy with stuff for school and am planning to go there about saturday or sunday. I am going to bring 15.00 with me to play the games and get my gaming brain back in shape for the championships that the place holds every year. who ever wins they give them a free game from 1 of 3 systems. the games are very cool.
The place has two large windows that are as shiny as diamonds. Inside it has a wall against the counter with slots in it that hold the games. They then have a wooden door in the back that goes to the room where they shrink wrap the games they buy and keep storage. Also the breakers for the games are in there and a mass of wires for the repair that they do on the systems that are brang in. They also have a storage room with all the games arranged in category.They are Arranged in the categorys by which the games genre are... Some examples are: sport, action,suspense and kiddie games.
Outside the game store has a red velvet top with the words " Family Fulton". It has a electric gate on it that goes down when they are ready to close. Next to it there is a pizzeria and a music store. After playing a while in the place I go to get a slice of pizza and sometimes i will go and get my music CDS over on the left where the music store is.
At the place it has a clorox smell mixed with a windex smell. They are always cleaning the floor with clorox like every 30 minutes. And are also cleaning the glass all the time. That is the funny part about being there. If you touch the glass it will have a fingerprint and all of a sudden a woman comes to clean the window. It is real funny. They dont allow any food because if it falls they get mad and will kick you out the stoie for like 3 days. And then they come out with the clorox. It is Real funny but overall the place smells like clorox and windex and never smells like food unless they are eating which is around 12:00Pm. the place is clean like a new object.
Sometimes it will smell like a undescribable smell because I cant pick it up and identify it. It smells normal most of the time and like i described above but once and a while it smells weird and I cant identify it. smells like something original.
When I go to the place all I really touch is the video game machines and the counter. They feel as cool as ice. They are also as clear as crystal and have all kinds of games in it. When I play the machines I Feel the sweat on my hands like i just came out a pool. I get sweaty because the game is so hard that i push the controls real hard so I can beat the game. The game gives me a adrelaline rush so It is hard to play the games. They have as good grip as bike gloves. It is cool and I like to touch everything in there especially the games when i play. Sometimes when I touch the door to go in the handle is sticky, which means that the person that came in before me had some sticky stuff on my hands , and then when i go to play I cant cause my hands keep stickin to the joystick. The place has a clean touch to it. you know how when you go to a place it has some dirt on it and you can feel it... well not here If you touch the walls it feels as new as a fresh piece of bread. The place feels like a new pillow silky and soft.
