Don't know whether I should put this in OT or Gaming but whatever.
So I was hankering for some chicken McNuggets and I decided to walk to a McDonald's a few blocks off campus. While it is a few blocks off campus it does take around 45-60 minutes just to get there if you walk. I enjoy walks and it wouldn't hurt to have a long walk before and after eating McDonald's but this means I'm usually alone. I don't really enjoy eating at a restaurant alone but it was really hot today so I decided to eat in for once.
So after getting my meal I walked to the eating area and was blown away at what I saw. A bunch of N64 stations!
What the hell? This is the first time I've seen such a thing. They seemed to require a remote because one of the employees had one in is hand right as I started to hear the title music of Ocarina of Time.
As I heard that I turned around and surprisingly most of them were functional.
They had NASCAR 2000. Starfox 64
, Mario Party 3, and Mickey's Speedway USA. Banjo Tooie was also there but unplayable since someone managed to remove the controller. And Ocarina of Time was unplayable because the screen was destroyed.
The rest of the screens were nonfunctional and I noticed some burn-in on the NASCAR screen. So that was weird. I didn't really play with any of the games. Most of the controllers were predictably overused.
But wait there's more! Maybe I've just been unlucky but this is the first time I've ever seen a conveyor belt at a McDonald's. There was one in this McDonald's and it was right next to the N64's. It was hilarious to watch.
The process basically started with the revolving of the belts. You knew something was coming since it was pretty loud.
A single bag would come hanging...
There it goes...
It would then go vertical.
But where did it lead to?
It's strange since it started from the kitchen; I could see an employee latching it onto the machine while I ordered. But looking at where it went, it seemed to go back to some kitchen. Maybe it was a portal to some alternate universe? Maybe what I saw through that hole was China? Since I walk to that McDonald's all the time I've never actually tried the drive-thru. Maybe this belt was made to deliver food in this new society that prefers anti-social interactions in the service industry. Or maybe it's an elaborate delivery system for the employee break room.
No one will ever know.

I kind of wish bought Starfox 64 3D just so I could hold up the two versions together
