Ground Kontrols won the Stride Gum "Save the Arcades" contest

Congrats Clay - Clay took care of me when I had a bad AS board that turned out to be a bootleg that I was told was authentic. He replaced it with an authentic AS board.

Thanks Again
 
Sweet! That will give them the money to actually complete the mult...

Aw, nevermind. :rolleyes:
 
Why the sarcasim? I have never been there but would sure like to go one day.
 
i think there also may be some bitterness as it seems GK does just fine financially and some of the other arcades in the contest are actually about to go under and could really use the cash to keep the doors open.

whether that's true to not i don't know as i'm not privy to the books at any of these places.
 
lets just say i know someone else who was in the running and i am 100% convinced there was some cheating going on with the winner and possibly the runner up. How could thier total points score double between like 1am AND 2AM?


I call bull$hit, but i digress. that is all.

If you're "100% convinced there was some cheating going on" then lets hear it. If you're going to call bullshit you can't expect us to take your word on it. :rolleyes:
 
The main character's name in the game you had to play to vote was Claypool (Clay), Did he make the game, get Stride to put up some cash and then contact some runner up arcades?
 
I know they had a PC set up at the bar to let people play.

The night I was there last... it was also parade night in PDX. I have never been in GK when it was so busy. Could barely move.

There were always people playing the Stride game when I was there for a few hours.

That being said... GK is awesome and I am glad they won.
 
I'm glad they won, I've been giving them my points... they asked for help on another forum I'm on and I didn't recognize any of the others, heh.
 
GK is an arcade. It actually has classic games and pins. That is great in my book. Congrats to them and their legions of fans that helped them win the 25K. I know I played Cowbots till my hands were cramped quite a few times.
