      @ItzaRob  Рік тому +1

      Hello, can you name out the address of all 18 locations (open or closed)? My main source I use for the videos only states 5 locations total (open and closed). Also if any of those 18 locations weren't a Chuck E. Cheese or a Showbiz Pizza Place I'm not gonna cover them because those are the only two chains I cover in these videos. Even with five locations this is gonna be a long video, so It'll probably take awhile to make the video (not to mention all the requests I still have to get through). Also if any of those 18 are outside of Houston I won't be covering them in the same video.
      Edit: Actually I don't need you to list out all 18, just the ones that aren't on my main source. These are the ones I found:
      6760 Antoine Dr
      17780 Tomball Pkwy
      14637 Memorial Dr

      I can make a video on the location if I want to, I just tend to not make videos on locations that already have videos. I think it’s pointless to point out every last detail that a remodel entails because it’s the same thing for every location most of the time and not worth pointing aside from “they got that remodel”. Normally I wouldn’t make a video on the location since you’ve already covered it, but I’m probably going to anyways just because it’s one of the last remaining locations that still has a 3 stage.

    • @aubreeofarc
      @aubreeofarc Рік тому

      ​@@ItzaRobI understood that the details about the remodel can be pointless, but the only reason is to make this informational and have a style of who am I as a person. Many people may not know what the details on the remodel are, so the details should help. Also, I like talking about this locations and its details a lot. I have autism and ADHD, so sorry about that. Also, it's because I'm young and can still talk and remember things really well if possible, but I'm getting older.
      If u want to make your own video on the location, go ahead, but please use the information on my video with your style and credit me for the information and my video on it. When talking about my video, please don't critique me about the details on the remodel, because I get really, really sensitive about people saying that my videos are pointless, too much, trash, etc. And please, be respectful. I want my work to be popular and the one that stands out more because that was my idea to make this video and reveal documentations and information about the location come true!
