Classic! That is way off the Unintentional Comedy Scale. If I invested that much time, effort, and money into an arcade, I would be having one of those parties too. ;D

Post by: dabone on November 22, 2005, 12:29:32 pm: Jeff is a great guy, I've bought a few machine from him over the years.

(I met him before the divorce...)

And his game room does kick much butt.

I haven't spoken with him in about 6 years though.

Later,

Post by: Stobe on November 22, 2005, 02:20:32 pm: I read his justification for adding extra 20 amp circuits. But he did not mention anything about supplimenting the structure of the house. 36 games upstairs?? My house would tip over! (Not to mention the extra 30-50 people upstairs during his party).

That was bad. But he had so many. He bought out a warehouse or something. Like lighting a cigar with a $100 bill.

Post by: AC. on November 22, 2005, 10:41:42 pm: He emailed me back and said he is in a different house now. He said he still has many games but a few less than at that time.
