General :

Welcome to the new format for the Weekly Update ! Everything is being moved directly to the website where we have a lot better control , better accessibility for those wanting to look back at the process and growth ( useful for those looking to start an Underground Arcade ) and better shareability .

All previous weekly updates can be viewed here now , each one manually migrated.

You are also now able to comment easily on the Weekly Update using an account of your choice through ‘ One Click ‘ powered by WordPress !


And welcome to the last day of August ! Big updates on the new space today !


Looking like we can expect a High of 81 which will be a relief from this week if not for a high expected humidity . We will likely not be able to vent the Upstairs Hall which means low power mode ! Ask when machines are needed and we will power them up !

Special Event Notice :

This Saturday we have another edition of Miss Karp’s Mystery Bracket ! Please find details and sign up here ! Location may not match , however it will be held at the Araiguma : Advanced Battle Center !

More Information Here : https://www.start.gg/tournament/miss-karp-s-mystery-bracket/details

Space :

Updated the lighting in the Head to Head Room to match the warmth and vibe of the rest of the lower level ,

A thought for the downtown location is to use this type of lighting during open hours , and the main overhead lighting for maintenance or special events that benefit from the main overhead .

Broadcast :

There is a now known issue where NightBot is not showing all messages in the chat, sometimes skipping messages or outright halting . An alternative is being looked into .

Downtown Location :

Negotiations went well . The rental application has been submitted and approved ! Lighting has been installed , all the conduit has been moved to the ceiling ! The room is part of the HVAC load !

Dedicated 20A circuits have been run on every wall , with one of the walls having two sets ,

A couple questions are still in review is how the room will be painted . At present there are some issues with the flaking/dust from paint and old plaster damage . Sounds like the intent is to clean it up get rid of anything that was flaking, either a paint over or scrap off.

A second is in regards to capping some old plumbing .

We have reached out to confirm that the projected ( though anything could come up and cause a delay out of their control ) move in date would be . .

September 15th ! Like . . About 2 weeks from now !

Note to anyone who wishes to assist with this move , please reach out to Yams and let her know if you have not yet ! There will be a discussion created for all those who wish to help and it will be coordinated there and communicated regularly with the plans .


📸 Photo Wall Last Chance This Location 📸

With the moving date approaching fast — It will be your last chance to get yourself on the photo wall with your picture taken at the original location ! If this matters to you , reach out to get your photo up before we move and begin taking the photos there !


Website :

With the approval of our rental application , there is some restructuring and creation of new pages for this next stage for us . One of which will be a ‘ Find-Us Page ‘ and the return of the ‘ Food ‘ page we used to use when doing locals from the origin Hallways .

To get an idea of food in the new spot , please check out the ‘ Food ‘ page Here !
