Journalism of Courage
You crouch in the darkened arena, cold sweat on your brow. All about you the klaxons and the lights are flashing, blaring out their messages. You8217;re scared. You8217;re disoriented. You8217;re excited. You grip your gun with renewed vigour as the voice from your headset yells, 8220;GO!!8221; and you8217;re off into the fray once more.
All you have to do is get your sorry, weekend-warrior butt to Bullseye in Santacruz E. It8217;s off Nehru Road, at the Santacruz Recreation Club. You8217;ll have no problem finding it 8211; there are lots of advertisements and billboards pointing you to the place.
Once there, you pay the cover charge of 50 bucks which can be redeemed inside and purchase your coupons for the games. There8217;s the usual bowling, pool and video parlour too 8211; and besides, the average you spend per game is fifty bucks, provided you don8217;t go in peak hours, like on a Saturday night.
Apart from the gaming areas, Bullseye has got a restaurant too. The food is average, and not worth writing home about. The place is nice, service is good. But what really kicks butt is the Lasertag game. In this game, you8217;re given a blaster pistol and armour and sent into a darkened room, filled with obstacles. You8217;re supposed to hunt and quot;killquot; your opponents, by shooting their armour. You get 100 points for every hit and 50 points are subtracted from your grand total for every miss.
All in all, this place is a must-visit. The adrenaline rush from the Lasertag wears out in about three hours and is comparable only to bungee jumping and a good solid kick in the head. GO THERE NOW!!!!
