It's been a while since I last played InitialD. Last time I saw or played the game was back in Malaysia. Upon reaching here, I searched for a place that has the game. Locally here in Ames, I know we have 2 arcades; Grand Mall and MU Underground.
Grand Mall only has some decent games but their best game is Time Crisis 3. Everything else is all about early 2000 or late 90s. As for MU, they have 80's games with their latest game probably DDR (something). Everything feels old school like the games played while I was in high school.
Disappointed at the arcades here in Ames, I was hoping I'd find one in Minnesota's Mall, nothing (I tried looking by walking....maybe that's why). Even Chicago let me down (because we didn't really explore for arcade).
Having all hopes lost... last night was an accident. I was in Jordan's Creek (2nd time... WISHED I found this sooner) and was doing some shopping there. When we're done we still wanted to kill some time so decided watch a movie, "Forbidden Kingdom".
[Spoiler for the movie : Mr. T, "NO FOO!"]
Outside the cinema, there it was. In a dark corner facing the entrance of the arcade. Seeing it made my heart beat faster, senses became numb, adrenalin pumping in... I NEED TO PLAY THIS GAME AGAIN.
Hrmm, two tokens which costs 25c each? Standard price. I don't care at this moment. I just want to play. My first game was against this guy(who was with a few friends that plays the game as well) which seemed good. Played with him and almost won (heck I don't have an upgraded car!). It was neck and neck from start to finish so I could say that my skills hasn't deteriorated.
Then, a game with Stan.. who had a better car. Almost over took me a few times but obviously I'm the better driver =p
It was time for the movie after that match. Movie movie movie.... OUT!! Time for another game!
This time I tried to play with Stan again, but... machine somehow screwed up and we didn't get to play with each other. I wanted to challenge someone. After waiting a few rounds, I found a challenger. Raced with him on the 2nd easiest map in the game. Beat him by 400m. [Show off : He had a card, I didn't] Glorious day.
Then, Stan and Sky duked off. Stan started off pretty well... Sky, crashed in every turning.... for the first 5 or 6 turns. Stan... HOW COULD YOU LET SKY WIN!?
Being only about 45 mins away from Ames... I think it's worth the trip occasionally to beat up some noobs and show them their place =p

Lan yeng was obviously du lan that you guys took so long after the movie. He wanted to get home but you guys just keep sticking on the machines =.=
We should have watched 21 instead of the crap, though, i still insist. Haha
However, that was my first time playing Initial D and obviously my adaptability was good enough to beat Stan. Muahahahahaha, so.. crashing every corner in the first minute didn't make me a bad driver. I just didn't get use to the Mitsubishi.(I was driving Wira back in My)
