But not as some spare change guy...
I'm an assistant manager also in charge of social media

- My role is to start their (non-existent) online presence
- Bring attention to the pads and cab issues
- Hold tournaments or events several times a month
- Promote the arcade, get the word out
- Have new ideas and offer input on what machines to get

DDR Supernova and DDR X2 were on freeplay yesterday during my first Saturday shift. I wanted to do this as I know the condition of the machines are not good, so reminded everyone during the day to give feedback on the official page.

All feedback we get I am printing off and relaying back to management.
It will significantly help in getting things done.

Due to feedback, the technicians already cleaned the pads twice that day on the X2, it seems like 2/3 of the arrows are beyond that, so with your comments on the page it will convince them to buy new sensors.

Adam is already helping me for them to easily sort the BIOS that will fix the sync issue.

As a Bemani player since 1998 I'm really going to try the best I can to get the arcade to be a gamers no1 choice. I'm not the kind of person who ever gives up easily, I know it will take time but I will chip away for the best possible result.

Currently I'm working on sourcing the Drum Mania V, Para Para, Guitar Freaks, Initial D Stage 4 and one of the EZ2 cabs that disappeared from Funland (same company, Family Leisure) over the years. Endgame would be to have a IIDX and an ITG dedicab... First things first is to get the existing machines actually playable.

Those of you who know me personally know I don't bullsh1t and am true to my word. I promise I will do my best. Please like the page and ALL comments, suggestions or messages will GREATLY help me convince upper management to invest time or money into repairs. Thank you!

This is really awesome! Nice work, man. I hope you manage to make the arcade a bit more known and convince the management to actually care about their machines! ;)

How have things been going so far?
