Posted January 12, 201015 yr Like video games? Like drinking? Like pretending that blue cocktails restore vast amounts of MP? Then you should move to Brisbane to celebrate the opening of The Mana Bar next month, which is reportedly Australia’s first dedicated video games bar. Located in Brisbane’s Fortitude Valley and opening sometime in February, The Mana Bar is the creation of four Brisbane locals: Guy ‘Yug’ Blomberg, Ben ‘Yahtzee’ Croshaw, Pras Moorthy, and Shay Leighton. Entry to the bar will be completely free, as will playing the games. They’re also promising all the latest consoles and games, Guitar Hero tournaments and game release parties. Sounds like the perfect location for a Brisbane-based Gizmodo reader meetup, wouldn’t you say? http://www.manabar.com.au/ http://www.gizmodo.com.au/2010/01/brisbane-gets-australias-first-video-game-bar/ http://i.imgur.com/798rp.png http://i46.tinypic.com/v2wmlz.png Close Air Support excellence

January 12, 201015 yr That seems like the worst idea for a bar ever. Sausage fest all-round. And yes, I realise girls like to play games too but generally not in large numbers with strange guys. Here is a list of particularly awesome things: dogs sniping very spicy chilli cat claws on people (but still cool on cats)
January 12, 201015 yr That seems like the worst idea for a bar ever. Sausage fest all-round. And yes, I realise girls like to play games too but generally not in large numbers with strange guys. be pretty funny to walk past on a Saturday night and take in the freakshow from the safety of the street outside (that was a bit harsh, but still) Good Conduct http://bigdgaming.net/images/added/awards/goodconduct.bmp
January 12, 201015 yr That seems like the worst idea for a bar ever. Sausage fest all-round. And yes, I realise girls like to play games too but generally not in large numbers with strange guys. Sure it may not work out, at least they are trying something new and innovative. However on the other hand you never know, it might do extremely well. I can think of many worse ideas for a bar and im sure that anyone involved will probably have fun running it. Theres already a gazillion other normal bars in the city/valley for people who wouldnt be seen dead in a gaming bar. I'll probably end up checking it out at least one or twice, but never in the world would I go there to pick up.... http://i.imgur.com/rfTYp.png
January 12, 201015 yr Author wow tahnkyou wellsaid http://i.imgur.com/798rp.png http://i46.tinypic.com/v2wmlz.png Close Air Support excellence
January 12, 201015 yr This was first spruiked 6 months or so ago....bout time they got around to it. self edit! umm yeah, will be fun.. Edited January 12, 201015 yr by Chance1
January 12, 201015 yr be pretty funny to walk past on a Saturday night and take in the freakshow from the safety of the street outside (that was a bit harsh, but still) I'm pretty sure they are targetting average guys who just play games casually, like you or other people here. Its not like you'd go there every damn night, maybe just once in a while with some mates. [sIGPIC]C:\Users\Alex\Pictures\Forum Avatars\RealityMod\SuperHind-BigD.jpg[/sIGPIC]
