I also found the description oddly compelling. There was a Terminator pinball game in the break room at Sun that we used to play, I felt it provided a good social nexus. There were also machines at Google but strangely if you played them you could feel like you were touching the exhibits at a museum which I found disconcerting. Mostly this came from the looks people would give you as they walked by. Sad really.

Should you ever find yourself in Portland Oregon, please visit 'Ground Kontrol'. An entire floor of nothing but pinball games, quite frequently at capacity.
