This one’s for GeekDad friend, Wil Wheaton. Back in The GeekDads Episode 6: Activate the Nostalgia Center – Zombies Are the New Pirates, Wil confessed to us his nostalgic feelings for the glory of the ’80s videogame parlor, and shared his dream that should he ever win the Lottery, he’d build one for himself.
