1,083 people in the attending list on the official Facebook event. Think I'll just show up some random night during the week instead...

Yeah, I'm thinking the same. Might go a couple weeks after it opens. Opening night is going to be way too packed.

When did 'Attending' numbers on Facebook ever have a bearing on reality?
That said, I'm pretty sure it'l be packed solid regardless. Might pay to be fashionably late by a day or two...

I reckon we go out the night before, have a big one, drink lots of coffee or something, and be in line by 10am with our handhelds.

^ Kinda like the group in your avatar. 
Why isn't it as great as it's made out to be?

About the same length of time it took most of the people in brissie? Honestly I'd rather go to a mates place with some beer.

It's cool and all, but honestly if you want to play video games you'd be better off either hitting up a mate or going to an arcade, if you want to go out and get drunk you'd be better off hitting up you're favorite pub.
Honestly I think it's the size that hurts it most of all, if it's anything like the one in brizzy it's just too fucking cramped.

Although, from what I hear, he doesn't reserve his ire for use in reviews only...

Adam's excited because a nerdy arrogant man is going to be there.
I'm going for the nerdy hot chicks. And the drinks. I have more than enough games at home.

hmmmm... im leaning towards agreeing with benza here guys. i live in brisbane and the mana bar here is pretty dissapointing. Now dont get me wrong, game bars are an awesome idea, and seeing a fully decked out mana bar in melboure will be great. but if 1000 people can fit at the new melbourne storethan brizzy better get a bigger venue too, i mean its lucky to fit 30 people in it, 50 if everyone stands. ive been twice and have no desire to go again. its just not comfortable. its just a novelty. but if the new bar is decked out like an rsl club, but with a gamers theme than it will rock! (just upgrade brizzy too ok? i mean it was the profits from this store that started things off)

Yeah him and Matt started it with financial help from Yahtzee.
I think it was because he always used to have those parties at his place but got robbed the last time so they decided to start a bar to do it in.
Man if the Mana Bar had ended up anywhere near as fun as those parties shit would have been awesome.

Actually, Matt has nothing to do with the Mana Bar
There are 4 owners of the Mana Bar - I suggest taking a brief look at this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xy30Pff7XYI
True though, the idea for the bar did come out of those parties I used to throw, though it has nothing to do with the time stuff got stolen.

I have most likely met you then. Those parties were the shit. Then it was always off to that BYO Chinese place with the old school arcade games for dinner, circuit city or whatever it is called. Yahtzee was a god at the warioware like game.
