Last… I want to say Thursday? Well, the date doesn’t really matter – anyway, I hopped on down to the gameroom on the 3rd floor (mostly after Michelle’s sparkling recommendation in Comms). Unfortunately, I made a few mistakes in doing so – I didn’t have much time to spend there, and I stopped in when it was already pretty packed. The whole floor it’s on is painted in various bright colors that I’m sure are meant to look cheery and casual, but were honesty just kind of gaudy and depressing. As soon as I closed my eyes, though, the place gave off a much more favorable impression – there was the usual chatter that any significant crowd generates, the constant clattering that foosball tables in use tend to cause, and the clicking and occasional yelling of the ping-pong matches. Layered on that, there was a speaker somewhere playing what I assume was the school radio station – when I came in, they were talking about the past week’s NFL scores, so I didn’t pay too much attention to be quite honest, but I didn’t notice any issues in the sound quality, mic-based or otherwise, so I’ll probably check it out some time. Anyway – there was a really friendly aura throughout the whole place, so I relaxed there for a while. Didn’t talk to anyone, because, well, because. I never got the chance to play pool or anything either, as far as I could see all the tables were full up – it was a really nice place to just bask in the vibes, though. I think I’d go again, but probably some other time of day – I’d love to get in a good game of pool. I’m not really a foosball or ping-pong kind of guy, but I’m not opposed to giving at a shot, either. Over all, I’m not sure it’s my thing, but it’s a really nice space that I think contributes a lot in the way of stress relief for the student body (theoretically and anecdotally), and I’m really happy that it’s here as a resource.
