I guess everyone here is kinda sad that we have to go back to school and will soon share their memories of their holidays. Even though I went to Scotland (which was a nice trip), something really did change my holidays.
You see, I'm a gamer, and I'm proud of that. So I grabbed a couple of friends with me and we went to a place in Aix called the Meltdown. "But Kellian, what is it?" Well basically, the Meltdown is a brand of what we call E-sports bars. This is a bar with computers and consoles, where you can meet a bunch of random guys (and girls) and just play together around a drink. There, we met some really nice people, and we probably had our most memorable games of Super Smash Bros or Overwatch. This is really crazy, everyone here is nice. And you know the best part? All the consoles and PCs are free to use! No joke!
...
Well, to be honest, we can't call them PCs, those are real war machines, just take a look at this master piece:
So yes, everything is free, but it's best if you buy a drink to thanks the staff for their awesome work (those people are really nice btw). Speaking of drinks, as you can guess, we are talking about a bar, so you can't really buy alchool if you are under 18... but I can assure you that they have awesome alchool-free cocktail. But still, if you are under 18, you are still welcome, as soon as you are nice with the others and you take care of the machines.
As I said, you can just walk in and play, but they also do events, like tournaments or meetings between the diffrent meltdowns of France (or even Belgium). And most of the time, there is even a cash prize for the winner (well, it's generally between 50 and 200€, so that's pretty sweet!).
I think I said pretty much everything! I hope I hyped you a little bit about this awesome place. But again Charlie I have to "warn" you: this is a place for gamers, if you don't play any videogames, you might feel a bit "de trop" as would say Mr Leah.
Well then goodbye Charlie, here are some pictures of the bar to show you how it looks like:
See ya Charlie!
