Dave and Buster's Part Deux


In my last post I discussed the dining area of Dave and Buster's. In this post I'd like to discuss the overwhelming amount of lights found in the gaming area.

The games area a of D&B is almost sensory overload. Almost everygame on the floor has some sort of flashing lights begging for your attention. Chasers, blinkers, LEDs, conventionals, you name it, they're most likely on an arcade machine somewhere throughout the giant arcade/restaurant. None of these lights are focused on anything particular. They're only focused on grabbing the attention of D&B customers.

The lights were overwhelming at first. When the lights were combined with loud music, arcade game noises, and lots of people walking around it was enough to drive you crazy at first. (Luckily though, after being their for a little while my eyes became used to the barrage of light.)

I took a quick video, because the picture doesn't quite do it justice. The video doesn't quite capture the overload of lights as I first experienced it though.
