As an Alameda resident, I can say SF is sweet. But as an Alameda-Gamer i can say... i honestly can't think of anything EXCEPT Ea's offices. You could take a wee little tour there and wish you were working at EA!
OOOORRRR is you're a gadget nerd, there's the sony-mall:
http://westfield.com/metreon/
it's a kick in the pants
The Fallout 3 collector's edition is selling out, I think Amazon's already gone through their stock... so you may have to preorder that one to be guaranteed a copy. Not sure about the music games, I know next to nothing about those.
If you hit up Pier 39 you may want to check out the Riptide Arcade and if you don't mind a bit of a walk to Fisherman's Wharf, I can highly recommend the Musée Mécanique. It's free to get in, but be sure to bring plenty of quarters for all the vintage arcade machines. I suppose I'm taking liberties assuming you'd be interested in gaming stuff, but... you're HERE.
Isn't the Sony Metreon in SF? That's all I got.
Page Chad about LA.
Go to "Game Dude" in Hollywood! You could find some rare titles there as well as the ones you noted!
yeah, the Metreon is ok in SF. It's kinda depressing, though. I would say that Pier 39 is pretty cool, with a few gaming places to go to. I know the family that owns the Musee Mechanique, which is lovely.
The bay area has a lot of gaming companies, but it's kinda for naught, as you can't really go into them. Which is a drag.
For other things in SF, I would go to China Town, check out the new science museum, maybe the Exploratorium. I'm from the wine country just morth of SF, which is for a great day trip, and in the South, at Santa Cruz, you can go to the boardwalk, but it's a drive and the weather might not be nice.
What Topgear said:
Also, I'd LOVE to meet up when you are in SF! What are the dates that you will be here? (I'm in Berkeley, but thats a quick BART ride away)
@Wrathofpazuzu
An Alameda resident?! I'm in Berkeley! <3 We should meet up sometime!
I hear good things about Fort Funston.
I live in Berkeley too! Don't forget me! I need to be popular to deal with my crippling insecurities!
I'm in Oakland :D
@Javthegreat
You too? Alright...more Dtoiders in the Bay Area <3
WrathOfPazuzu: Holy shit, you live in Alameda? Dude, I grew up there. Went to Lum School and lived right by the beach.
Also, JavTheGreat, you're in Oakland? FUCKING AWESOME!
Wow, i woke up expecting a few messages but thanks for the great response guys seriously.
I'll have to double check my dates but it should be awesome to meetup with some of you guys!
Silly Californians... when your state slides into the ocean, us Oregonians will sit and laugh at you
