ARCADE

a film by Kurt Vincent and Irene Chin
I’m sad to report that another arcade has been lost to modern times. Denjin arcade, known for being the Mecca of West Coast 3rd Strike as well as the host of countless tournaments (including the 2009 SBO qualifiers and Cali Regionals) closed its doors for good yesterday. Denjin truly exemplified what a real arcade was: a place of community and competition, where players went to learn and level up. This is sadly another nail in the coffin of the American arcade. -Reed
