I was in town to visit friends recently and decided to hit up Arcade Shock because I've been…read morecontemplating modding. There are so many parts to choose from, and the gentleman who helped me gave me a lot of input from the way the parts sounded and operated. There's so much to choose from. I ended up spending over $120 in parts to replace the shaft, ball, joystick, and all the buttons on the top of the board. I bought a used stick from OfferUp, and a few of the buttons and joystick had issues with inputs. I chose buttons that are adjustable, silent, and bought a new joystick to solve an input sometimes not registering. I'd definitely consider going again when I'm in town! Cheers, and happy gaming!

When checking in the clerk tells me if my lane is needed I would lose it because it's becoming…read morecrowded. There were over 5 lanes empty when I checked in and when I exited. Why tell a league bowler and a season pass owner nonsense like that? If you are a even a semi serious bowler, go to a different ally. The lanes were dry. Ball reaction was inconsistent and the ally uses strings. The approach was OK, but a little too slippery for my preference. Lane 23 called 9 pin strikes more than once. My self serve kiosk failed and the servers also completely ignored the help request. I received no help at any point, but was being watched the whole time by a rep. My lane got an error and I waited for about close to 10 minutes and got zero help with that too. That same rep, who was just watching my lane and saw the error, decided to offer zero assistance. This is when I took a picture because he saw that my lane was down and I had requested help at the kiosk before it went down, but he remained standing around looking. After I left to go to the front, this guy now steps in and starts doing something at the table on the lane I was at. Made no sense because I had no drinks or food because the kiosk failed. Overall, this was the worst Bowlero experience I've had in Southern and Northern California. I recommend going down the street to the Torrance Bowlero, if you have practice games and/or a seasonal pass. This specific ally was the worst experience I've had in my one-year of bowling from any ally. I have multiple pictures to prove the claims.

I appreciate them for letting us celebrate my sister's birthday cake in the restaurant since the bowling alley itself wouldn't let us. The staff was just above and beyond, and all the more reason to come back to this joint aside from the good food. Thank you to everyone that works here! Thank you Gardena Bowl!

Ok, I'm going to say it.. this was one big clusterf*ck…read more My Husband and his friends were really excited at coming to this event and even flew in from Washington and New York in order to attend but sadly all left pretty disappointed. The group was initially set to attend PAX in Washington the same weekend, even had hotels booked and tickets purchased but as COD XP doesn't happen as often everyone decided this would be the better option and safe to say we all felt well and truly jipped. The event spanned 3 days and they boasted having Lazer Tag, paintball and other fun activities yet the execution left a lot to be desired. Day 1 they announce that the concert would be hosted on the Sunday instead of the Saturday like every other year, my Husbands friends that had flown in from out of state all had flights booked for Sunday so ended up missing what was supposed to be the highlight. That first day the lines for everything were ridiculously long. We got there as soon as the event opened and waited 2+ hours in the heat for paintball which was held outside in the direct sun. The Lazer tag line ended up being closer to 4 hours long which thankfully I didn't waste my time on (after the Paintball line) because I learned that it only lasted about 7 minutes and the lazers were not working properly. Day 2 was a lot quieter, probably due to the fact that people realized how lame it was so we were able to do the zip-line. We still waited in line almost 2 hours for 30 seconds of fun but at least I can say that I did it. I was somewhat amused at the staff strapping me into a harness and then announcing ''nope, you're going to have to wear a junior one'' and having to get fitted all over again then being told ''Oh yeah.. anybody under 120lb we also ask were a helmet for protection too''. I felt like a child being bubble wrapped up but at least they were being cautious. Day 3 was the Championships final and quite entertaining, I don't play COD myself but watching the teams battle it out (US V's England btw) was pretty intense, I wasn't sure who I should be rooting for being British but in a room full of about 70% Americans so I just sat in silence. The concert this year was Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa which I thought was gong to be the highlight but left pretty much everybody in the crowd pissed off due to it meant to start at 2pm but kept us waiting until 3:10 with lame stalling tactics, Then when Snoop did finally come out he really lacked energy and we ended up leaving after 10 minutes. Needless to say we have no plans of attending again and Activision are sure to be getting thousands of irate emails.
