Quoted from Frippertron:Where did the money for any of these games come from if he has never sold one or has never worked?
Perhaps from the other times he asked for donations?
Quoted from FlippyD:Honestly it's great to see this level of passion in younger folks.
I had the same kind of passion when I was young. And the ambition to go along with it.
Back in the days before the internet and gofundmes and other handouts, you know what we did when we wanted money for something?
We went to work or got whatever job we could no matter how menial the pay. Or even dug bottles and cans out of trash cans.

Quoted from PoMC:Most of you come across as dick heads with your insults
We're just glad you're not the kind that would throw insults around.
Quoted from ultimategameroom:I hope you bought the location you intend to use.
Quoted from Otaku:my empire.
Quoted from Electrocute:Good riddance, he went inactive. Hasta Nunca Otaku!
If that's the third time now he can't come back!

Tell that to all the Disneyland employees.
Quoted from Wolfmarsh:I didn't say it was a good wage, just a decent price to play pinball/arcades.
It's just a big news story around here right now. Billions spent on new Star Wars land and billions coming thru the front gate and employees making minimum wage in an area that costs half a million for an average house. Of course Disney has a long history of that.
Quoted from LovelyCoCoNuts:What is that... A star wars land.... For ants?
Let's just say it's still a work in progress. They probably need to cut a few more of the employee's benefits to finish it.

If he ends up in his grandma's basement, I hope he has a flotation mattress.
Like I said this goes way back. But at one time there were wide open spaces and rent and houses were dirt cheap. Even after I got out of high school, you didn't need a college education to get a decent job that more than paid your rent or buy a house and whatever car you might like to drive. Nowadays rent for small apartments in lessor neighborhoods are climbing thru the roof.
They have to do something or there won't be anybody left in the area to work for them.

Quoted from Electrocute:I was thinking more like TV Evangalist.
Yeah. but those dudes that pick up the trash at Disneyland make as much as the ride operators and they don't have to sit still all day.
When they have no more young people to do the job because they don't pay enough, I've been thinking it might be a great job for me if the smog shop ever folds up. People that work there get in free, and believe me, they charge an arm and a leg to get in there now. Season passes were about $120 when my daughter was young and now the cheapest one is almost $400. One day is $100.
Quoted from Electrocute:Why would anyone want to go to Disney to basically stand in lines all day?
Ya gotta know the system and when to go! Plus they are charging so much now, I understand the midweek crowds are starting to thin out a bit. Haven't been in a few years myself. But great place to catch a buzz and take in the sights.
I only live 15 minutes from there or believe me, I wouldn't bother
Quoted from Electrocute:The lines getting out of Disney World where so long once, my friend and I broke out of the dry kingdom. Fought our way back to the Contemporary Hotel and had a few drinks. Bee line from Space Mountain takes you there.
I only visited the World once in the early 90s and never actually went in. I stayed at the campground within the place because it was along the route of my journey to Key West. I said to myself at these prices I'll just go to the Land when I get home. lol. I know my way around that place. There was a pool in the campground with a game room and there was TAF and TZ sitting right next to each other brand new. So I played a little pinball and was on my way...
Quoted from pinballkim:Or just start charging $10 an hour to get into your garage.
lol
Quoted from gmkalos:Go to min mark 55:39 I think he is autistic and he seems like a really nice guy.
He's wearing a Led Zeppelin tour '77 shirt. I wonder if he actually went... ... I know I did.
