Kingston VRXtra and Poor Boys

| VRXtra Kingston |
After some pre escape room beers it was mission sigma at VRXtra Kingston located in the shopping centre it’s a smaller enterprise but it looks good from the outside. We were a little early but as we were the only ones there it was straight into the game.
The two administrators got us set up in the headsets and talked us through the main controls on the joycons and we were into the match. In the game lobby there’s an area to practice the main control aspects ie picking up tools and telliporting to other bits of the VR room.
The game itself was good the challenges were tricky but not so cryptic that it was impossible to work out and we managed to get through the rooms rather quickly. It’s probably a good idea to identify who’s the best at leading in your group as there are tasks where one person has to control. We managed to get to the roof and defuse the bomb in 36 minutes which was a good time. If I’d been more aware of the time I’d have tried harder for the side quests but hindsight is a wonderful thing.

We wanted to get a bite to eat and my friend had heard good things about Poor boys so after a quick stop for a beer it was on to get a table in Poor boys. It wasn’t too busy when we arrived and it was easy to get a table. I went for the Texan with dirty fries and philli cheese dip, my friend had fried shrimp in a bun and we had some burnt ends to share. I opted for a leaner cut of beef and I have to say it was really good. The portions were generous with three big slabs of beef and a good portion of fries underneath. The burnt ends were also really good and had a nice tang to them. It wasn’t cheap for fast food I would put it on a par with five guys. It’s worth a look if you’re in the area.
It was a nice evening out and it’s always good to catch up with friends, to grind axes and retell old stories that only get more exaggerated as the years roll on.
Have fun stay safe 👍🏼
