In lieu of a short night at Halloween Horror Nights, Michelle and I went to Dave and Buster’s for another 1/2 price Wednesday. In addition to eating dinner (the food there is surprisingly good), we blasted through quite a few games to win more than 15,000 tickets in a few hours, walking away with this orange plush hippo. Okay the hippo only cost 250 tickets. We spent 15,000 tickets on a new Nintendo Wii game called Skylanders: Spyro’s Adventure, which comes with a set of figurines (including Spyro, the little purple dragon) as well as a wireless “portal” that allows the figurines to interact with the video game on screen. Sounds pretty nifty. For another 50 tickets, we also got a small plastic disc thrower, which our cat loves. A winning night all around. Tomorrow… back to Horror Nights!
