I spent this Saturday at one of the funner places to go on or off the planet. The Fallout Shelter Arcade pods were built to play BattleTech in a full immersion environment. Close the pod around yourself and you have flight sticks, HUDs, main screen, throttles, and dozens of other controls. Basically the closest thing you can get to a flight simulator cockpit. I’ve played the game off and on in its various versions for twenty or so years. It’s pretty awesome.

I went to the Fallout Shelter Arcade this weekend. I tried to go last month but there was a blizzard. I turned around and went home. This weekend, I got there and it was amazing. They are closing soon and moving to a new location where they will concentrate more on private parties than being publicly open. So this was my last chance to go to their current location. And as usual it was a blast. They’ve been here for over a decade now I think. And it is sad to see them move.

But I’ve had a lot of good times there, and made friends that I hope to see again soon in their new location.

If you have a chance, get there before they close and move on. If you don’t, you will be missing something truly amazing.
