I went to Laser Lite the other day and tried to play its Extreme cab. Do they even maintenance that thing? Both the left and down on both sides of the pads seemed really unresponsive. Or am I supposed to be slamming 500 pounds of force whenever I want to hit an arrow?
Was there ever a day when good cabs existed? It seems like they have a bunch of problems anymore.

The Supernova cab at GXS is in decent shape!

Lazer Lite is the exception really, most cabs I have run into in public have been pretty good. Generally places that get a lot of random foot traffic like amusement parks, beaches, tourist traps, etc. have the worst pads.

Does Lazer Lite still have its 4th+ mix cabinet? That thing was a piece of shit but man was 4th+ a good mix.

Honestly I'm surprised Lazer Lite still exists. Here's a nice quote from Merk regarding the 4th+ cab.
Yes, an In The Groove machine would be a welcome addition even if it meant removing the 4th Mix Plus.
Proof that Merk will always prefer Stepmania to 4th+.

An arcade with ITG and an Extreme cab is baller which is why Putt-Putt in Fort Wayne is fairly baller.

That is, until they replaced their Extreme with a Stepmania cabinet with an Extreme theme. I still like it thought! Endless mode wooooooo! Play for 60 minutes on one credit!

Do businesses get ad revenue or something when they hit certain amount of likes? Why does anyone care? Why do people deliberately ask for likes?

I think people who are friends with the people liking the thing can see what they liked so it's a form of viral advertising. No clue why individual people would do that, though.

11 years ago tonight a baby was being born in a hospitel and the hopsital ran out of funding due to obama care, so the baby was only able to get halfway out. if you dont repost this to 7 different places in the next two hours, the baby will not get out, but if you do, then the baby will grow up to be your biggest crush

Pretty sure I was on my parents' plan until I was 24 so you would have been good for at least another 12 years, Mr. Potter.

I believe there used to be stipulations requiring the dependent to be in school or something like that. Now it's just anyone up to 25.
