It has been two weeks since David Sweat and Richard Matt’s escaped from a maximum security prison in New York.  And while investigators appear no closer to capturing the fugitives it is believed that they have been spotted at a local retro game store.  Dork’s Refuge located on Magnolia and Village Avenue was having a Smash Bros. tournament when two disheveled men casually entered the establishment and struck up conversations with the participants.
