Ever since I could remember i have always had a passion and love for arcades. Something about that atmosphere always illuminated my feelings for the bright lights and clashes and bangs you heard through out the room. I Loved how you could just walk into any arcade and find something fun or interesting to play. Keyword- ALWAYS
Thus it has been one of my many child-hood dreams to work in an arcade. Yes it is of course, not as fun as being a patron to an arcade but just being at an arcade makes me feel so.. at home? It brings me back to the days when my parents would go gambling and send my siblings and I to the arcade. Mostly in Las Vegas there was this gem called Game Works. Game Works was a masterpiece in and of itself. They're pay system was made to use cards instead of coins. You basically buy the ammount of time you're going to play. The one day when my parents bought my siblings, cousins, and I an all day pass, was one of the most gangsta ass days ever. We played every single game nearly five times. The entire arcade was a two story underground lair which boasted all the new and popular games such as DDR, Initial D, Time Crisis, House of the Dead, etc. To the rare gems such as the many japanese rhythm games, to the not so seen shooters such as ghost squad. Interestingly enough we spent nearly eight hours in that arcade playing all the amazing games. Not skilled enough to play competitively i focused more on what games were straight up fun to play. However i digress, what im really trying to say is that, I'm applying for an arcade here in San Francisco, and by GOD i'm hoping and praying that i recieve the job. Not just for the career experience or the side money i can use, but for personal experience. To cross that destination off my bucket list. And to really say when i'm older, "yeah, my first job was working at an arcade."
