Ben and Ari's
I know many of you don't like this DDR locale, but they've gotten much nicer to us, including a fan to cool us off.
They currently have a DDRMAX2 for $.50 a game, but there are confirmed rumors of the arrival of a DDR Extreme machine. I don't know how much it will cost per game, but I'm glad to see it make its way up to Fishers. There are a lot of new DDRers up here that I've organized into a small group. Come and see us some Friday night. ^_^
Just thought I've put this up,

Thanks for the info and keep us posted. I will be interested to see how things go at good ol' B&A. I should drop by and check out the scene...since it's so close to home and all.

If you really must have a MAX2 machine, there's one closer to TH. United Skates on the West side (I think) has one, or you can go over to X-Site (which, while the atmosphere sucks due to loud music, the machine is usualyl in surprisingly good shape as far as gameplay goes). Both are closer than Noblesville to TH.

The machine at X-Site sucks right now. The whole left side of the pad is busted up, the pad is dirty as hell, and the employees are jerks. Just a recent experience from a week ago, which has been recurring since a few months ago.MonMotha wrote:If you really must have a MAX2 machine, there's one closer to TH.

"Confirmed rumors" means many people I know have told me, but I haven't heard it from the owner myself.Ho wrote:This amuses me.Yume_Taira wrote:confirmed rumors

As for the MAX2, I do not know it's fate, but I'll ask on Friday when I go dancing.
^_~ I'll keep you updated, and thanks for agreeing to help with the unlock codes, Ho.
Hum, good to know. In the past, the employees have generally been reasonably nice to me, and the machine was in pretty decent condition.JL143 wrote:The machine at X-Site sucks right now.

If they do upgrade it to ITG and it's not a Schafer machine, they'll have a spare System unit. I could possibly be persuaded to purchase such a component for a reasonable price, if you're willing to pass along that info.Yume_Taira wrote:As for the MAX2, I do not know it's fate, but I'll ask on Friday when I go dancing.

Update:
Due to new games, the machine has been moved from the corner!!
Not only that, but we have CHAIRS now! And a little red rope thingy! ^_^
I dunno whether it's to keep others out, or us in. LOL But either way, it's very nice.
Still haven't heard anything about the Extreme. (Haven't seen the owner)

The big question is whether they will be getting a different machine or upgrading the one that's there. I would normally assume an upgrade, but Ben & Ari's has had three different mixes of DDR over the years (3rd Mix VK2, DDRMAX, and now DDRMAX2), and it has been a different machine each time. There was also a gap of time in which they had no DDR at all in between each of those machines.
