これはあなたの祖父のボーリング場、buckoではない! [Poweroutage]

稲妻がWiiのボーリングのゲームの間にあなたのアパートの外の変圧器に当る時次に。煉瓦に常に当り、本物であなたの手を試みるでしようか。 それがあなたによってがの後にあるRLのボーリングなら、最も涼しい開催地は都心のオクラホマシティーのBricktownのRedPinの新しいレストラン及びボーリングのラウンジ、現代的な食糧、飲み物および固体かえでおよびマツ車線の高級な組合せ。であるか。 ちょうどHarkinsの映画館16の西の運河に沿って置かれて(下へ)、RedPinは百年間の建物の地上階の12,000平方フィートを占め、RedPinの10車線の細道を離れて175を取付ける優雅なレストラン、独特でユニークで赤いリサイクルされたガラス棒上が付いているラウンジ、および利用できるVIP部屋を(20を取付けるその)ちょうど自慢し。

RedPinのボーリングの経験はあなたの車線の端にテーブルをおよび巨大なビデオスクリーンの個人化の非常に涼しい選択保つスコアに山高帽子特定の自動化されたバンパー、フラットスクリーンHDのモニターと。来ると約ハイテクであるか。 Each lane features a ‘mini-lounge’ where you can relax while critiquing your friend’s armswing (or lament your last baby split) and every lane has access to the RedPin’s restaurant-style dining service.? Rates are a user-friendly $4 per game from 11 am until 5 PM, then just $5.25 after that.? Bowlers can also rent lanes by-the-hour:? $45 before 5 PM and $55 thereafter.? Hourly rental includes bowling for up to six and shoes.? Speaking of shoes, rental is $2.50 if you’re not doing the hourly thing, and you’ll be setting your dots in kicks custom-made for the RedPin.

Now let’s talk about food.? In a sport that uses terms like turkey and Swiss cheese ball, you’d be excused for imagining that culinary interests are right up there with ball beveling and lane condition for the average bowler - and you’d be right.? At the RedPin, however, a chicken wing is much more than a style faux pax at the line and the food is about as far removed from standard bowling alley fare as - oh, I don’t know - Neptune is from the Sun!?

On my first visit to the restaurant, I had stone-baked pizza (is there really any other kind?), and it was the best I’ve had anywhere.? Mine was a Meat Your Match, which included a tantalizing combination of pepperoni, smoked bacon, grilled chicken, salami, seasoned beef and hot peppers.? There are five other flavor combinations (which I’ll be trying on my next five visits).? Besides pizza, diners in the restaurant can enjoy five different varieties of stuffed panini sticks, an imaginative collection of sandwiches, including RedPin Sliders (mini-burgers with center-cut smoked bacon and cheddar), Grilled Chicken Sliders (you guessed it:? grilled chicken with honey dijon and red onions - or a choice of other toppings and sauces), Grown Up Mac & Cheese (with Parmesan truffled fontina cream sauce, no less) - and more (and, yes, they do have chicken wings - I mean, Flying Elbows).? Several entree choices feature the RedPin’s special upgrades:? guests can order ‘Spares’ (which feeds 1-2 with the selected menu item) or ‘Strikes’ (which feeds 2-4).? All of the food at the RedPin can also be ordered on the Events Menu in party-sized trays designed to feed 20 people - and they’ll customize your order to specifically satisfy your group.

More food-related bowling terms:? sour apple, pumpkin, cheesy cakes and jam.? Sure all of these actually refer to bowling, but they make me think about dessert. At the RedPin, I wasn’t disappointed.? How about Red Velvet Cake with whipped cream cheese icing or Chocolate Lava Cake with a ‘molten’ chocolate center?? Of course, there’s also a traditional Cheesecake, a Four Berry Creme Brulee or even Sinkers and Suds:? fresh doughnuts from OKC’s famous Brown’s Bakery, served with coffee.

Coffee is, of course, for the serious bowler (like me), who doesn’t want the edge taken off his game.? For everyone else (at least everyone else over 21), the RedPin Lounge offers an astounding (really) array of beers (draft, foreign and domestic) as well as unique signature drinks and wines (red, white and sparkling - by the glass or by the bottle).

So the next time the power goes off or you forget to pay the electric bill, cruise down to Bricktown and check out the RedPin Restaurant and Bowling Lounge.? You can stay from 11 am until midnight Sunday through Wednesday and from 11 am until 2 p.m Thursday through Saturday.

Welcome to the first issue of Playedtodeath, Oklahoma’s premier video gaming news venue.

We’re glad you picked us up and we know you’ll look forward to fresh newsprint every month, as well as daily industry and cultural updates on our interactive website.? Each month we’ll talk about the things that are important to gamers:? reviews of new games and gaming systems, features that focus on your unique lifestyle - including the cooler places to hang when you’re not leveling up - and straight talk about the products that you find interesting (your phone does what?)

To make sure we provide the very best in computer gaming news, we’ve assembled an international staff of writers who bring years of computer gaming experience to the keyboard.? Our people know the movers and shakers in the industry personally, and we don’t cut corners when it comes to bringing you the latest stories:? when Kaz Hirai keynotes the 2008 Tokyo Game Show, we’ll be in the audience mentally translating yen to dollars and wondering how many people can legally share a sleeping tube.? When a new energy drink is introduced in OKC, we’ll be there to guzzle a freshly-minted can and crush the empty against our foreheads (or better, our friend’s forehead).? When Nintendo or Sony or NCsoft rolls out a new release, our reviewers will literally play it to death, to give you the best info to use in deciding how to spend your gaming dollars - that’s our promise to you.

And we want you to participate in this adventure, too - by giving us honest feedback on the reviews and articles you read on these pages.? If your thinking is concise and your analysis piercing, we might even print your emails in our Forum feature (spelling and sentence structure is important - we hope you didn’t stop paying attention in fifth grade).? Let us know about gaming-related events for our monthly activities calendar, like the LAN party you have planned in the basement of your sister’s cousin’s daughter’s house - who knows, we might show up and bring door prizes (generally expired pizza coupons and stuff like that).? Playedtodeath will occasionally even be news (as opposed to reporting it), when we sponsor the biggest LAN party in the state of Oklahoma later this year (keep your schedule clear during Fall Break).? And every month, you’ll have a chance to win cool stuff (with very little effort on your part).

In short, we’re going to make every effort to be that computer gaming newspaper that you always wished (at least since last Thursday) you could read while you were waiting for a Saturday night table in Bricktown. ?

So, enjoy - and keep doing that thing you do with the PS3 controller!
