The Penny arcade in San Francisco is totally great. It might seem like a tourist trap but it isn't – or it is but in a good way. There was lots of great stuff there, but the surprise was these execution games. You pay a penny (now a quarter) and the doors slowly open to reveal a deathly tableau of either a guillotine or a gallows. After a few nervous seconds the act is committed and the door closes. It's fucking awesome. Way better than any "head shot" in Splinter Cell. It's a perfect antidote to the knee jerk reaction to the violence in video games. Shit dudes, violence is a part of our culture like it or not (and if you need it for emphasis) beatch!
yes ... the head rolls off when sliced.
requesting more opium den detail shots next time.
yup...noted. I was having a little difficulty choosing between watching/documenting the action.
There was "low light and behind glass" problems too.
