    Quoted from ryanwanger:

    This is 100% wrong. Why would you even post this?
    There was serious flooding, but the town is still there. I was there the day after the flooding, and there was a lot of cleanup to do, but the games were mostly okay. I went there a few months later and it looked like a full selection of games to me.

    Quoted from ryanwanger:

    I would be *really* angry if that was my town or my arcade that you erroneously told people not to bother going to just so you could sound like a smart guy on the internet.

    I couldn't care less.
    I never said to not go there.
    I said I didn't know.
    You're putting words in my mouth.
    And i'm glad you think I'm smart

    Quoted from homebrood:

    Do you need a hug, what happened to make you so sad...

    Why would you think I'm sad?

    #17 8 years ago
    Quoted from Coyote:

    No, you said:

    The only 'I don't know' was about the games. Not about the town.

    That is correct, I said "I don't know how many games survived". Your point is?

    One would "Assume" with that kind of damage, pins and arcade machines got damaged also.
