Went to a party at Chuck E. Cheese's today. Yes, one of those parties.

Does anyone else feel like half the games in Chuck E. Cheese's are casino training simulations? Dump a coin in here, maybe you'll get the jackpot by rolling it into the octopus's mouth. That's craps. Drop it in here and then hit the big button at the right time to catch the swirling light. That's roulette.

I'm proud to say Kenny stayed away from those games and wanted to try those that tested skill: racing, football toss, shoot 'em ups. Not that those games get off scott free, of course.

All games balance chance and skill. The ones that form bad addictions are those that trick us into thinking there is a good balance when in fact your skill couldn't matter less.

Darn addicting mechanisms.

Chuck E. Cheese, com'on, man.
