Home is where it's best... or is it?
So the other day we went skiing up at horseshoe valley, and the first night we were in our lodge, we were watching American Gladiator. But it was a rerun. And it was on a smaller tv. so someone observed, "we paid money to drive all the way up here, to watch reruns on a smaller tv? what a waste of money!" - and rightly so.
I walk around in the cove in Waterloo, and I see games like Capcom vs SNK 2 and Marvel vs Capcom 2, and I say to myself, "I'm not playing these here. I can play these at home for free." And $4 for a Corona? Hmmph! Haha, I don't think so. 4 bucks for a shot of Polar Bear? I can make those at home, thank you very much.
So why go out? Everything is cheaper at home. Plus you don't have to dress up. The bathrooms are pretty nice at home too. So why go out?
To be social. It's a social thing. Sure, you can have friends over, or you can go out with friends. For now, let's just discuss Dave & Buster's, but we can talk about other things later. When you're out, you're all dressed up and you feel prettier than when you are at home, so you feel like a different person. There are a bunch of people around and they're all having a good time, so you're more likely to have a good time too. They're enjoying themselves, drinking and playing games and laughing at jokes, so you start doing the same too.
Sure, you can play games in the comfort of your own home, but it's more impressive in a social environment with other people around. Sure, you can drink at home, but it's more... social... to do it in a social environment. It's much more expensive though, which is a price you pay for social envinronmentation. A lot of people pay a lot of good money for social envinronmentation, which is something that I only recently started doing, but I want to do more of.
Clubbing/dancing? Well, we have music at home, and to an extent with have disco lights and stuff... but once again, in a real club, there are thousands of dancers (girls too! imagine that) and people drinking... and overall it's very social. And that's what it is.
It's all the social scene. You buy a beer at a restaurant to be social, you pay for a group of shots at D&B so to be social, group-like, and you play arcade games because everyone else is doing it and it's fun in a big group social environment. You go out and dance at a club because your basement isn't as awesome as a club.
