I made an epic discovery on Tuesday, the magnificence of which I can entirely contribute to my good friend Danny M for informing me about.
Daniel currently resides in the dorms of Surrey University, and Andrew and Bertie decided it was high time for a visit. The night was very enjoyably spent chatting away while they knocked back Fosters and I knocked back J2Os, and with some exploration we quickly found the university to be a top notch establishment brilliantly laid out with a lot of very pretty modern buildings. It was like a self contained town and community with its own shops, laundrette, post office, club and every other outfit you need to survive.
It was in the club that it resided. Hidden away a few floors up and at the back of the then desolate discotheque was a cool chill-out café with pool tables, a small bar and arcade machines. One of these arcade machines just so happened to be the incredible Initial D Arcade Stage Version 2! I thought I'd have had to travel to Japan to play on one of these legendary devices, I never imagined that there would be one hidden away at the back of a University club, of all places. Needless to say I was not disappointed, the list of cars is amazing, it included everything from the series and plenty more never seen, including my beautiful S14a! The opponent list was comprehensive enough to include characters that only featured for a single episode. But most importantly, even though it hosted the American editions such as many of the bastardized character names, they still kept all the best tracks of the amazing Initial D eurobeat soundtrack! Visiting Daniel is going to become an extremely expensive expedition.
The night was spent rather uncomfortably with the three of us squeezed onto his floor, and the first act of Wednesday was to witness Daniel's mathematic prowess in action as we sat in one of his calculus lectures. Of course most of it was a little too complicated for me to follow so I ended up making an origami crane and drawing a picture of myself drifting my Dad's Ford Focus estate into a lamp post, to make best use of my time.
I had a lot of fun touring Daniel's university and it was good to see him and hang out again, even with it being a quiet study night we managed to have a brilliant laugh, next time we'll be sure to time it with a busy night at the club for massive party damage.
