Hit up The Standard on Wed and Thursday of this week, I totally see why this place get's all the comments about the tables being too close to one another, the machines are quite literally slammed against each another and I agree that they could lose one of the games and make it a way better playing experience. Their current line up of Fish Tales, Black Rose, LOTR, Johnny Mnemonic, Swords of Fury are all playing nicely though. Noticed at least a few machines with lot's of BOB scores here and also unsurprisingly it looks like the TheStandardNate and WDX frequent this joint. Did manage to put up a #3 on SOF @5,000,000 which was all the sweeter since I found at least 4 free credits on it.
A big plus here in my mind is that the machines are off to the side and away from heavy foot traffic, my old man eyes would not mind one mild soft light above the tables, esp. when playing the BR where I tend to feel like I am in the front row of Laser Pink Floyd. The LOTR has the mega smack (tm) flippers set to MAX! Plenty of pop fly shot action. BTW Heart Coffee shop right around the corner makes an awesome espresso.
