Gallop-ng Ghost Arcade owners have a podcast program and they talked to owner of Underground Retrocade owner Scott Lambert about the growing arcade industry. Many pay as you enter and restaurant and bar type eateries have opened up in recent years and Mr talked about the difficulties of maintenance on newer machines and the difficulty of finding old classics in good conditions for his store in West Dundee. The Gus, Mack, and Jack Galloping Ghost podcasts though are two hours of intense geekiness and brutal observing and viewing. Gus looking in the camera constantly form the chair is creepy and talk of circuit breakers ,mother boards, and developing a network talk to put one out for eight hours of sleep. It was good tom see these guys with one of their competitors as the cutthroat competition between these barcades threaten the stability of entire neighborhoods . Lambert spoke of the industry and how people can enter it and try to bring about more arcades in every town as the landscapes one allowed before the corporate take over of villages with Walgreens and al Marts replacing homes on busy boulevards and important corner sand intersections pretty much causing an opioid crisis in many areas bored out of their ass with few local entertainment options than the dollar store or Save Mart.
This program is about as exciting as watching rain drop into a puddle and one would think that talk of the industry of arcade ownership and business restarting after years of extinction form its eighties hey day would of made for some interesting listening. Scott Lambert though was not that interesting as is any of these podcasts from Brookfield's own boys at Galloping Ghosts. The attempt to venture out and be a outlet for discussion and venture is admirable but these jackasses need to do more insight and planning of their podcasts
