Quoted from Boat:FYI, saying gayseum or similar is homophobic and is unacceptable in these times. There is nothing negative about being gay.
Let's call this Lameseum (until we are proven otherwise) and move on.
It’s nothing new.
I imagine being gay or bi in the days of John Waters, when there was no closet and no PC was so much better than it is now.
Woke gays ruining it for the quiet ones - just chill and look the other way, ya dig?

Quoted from electricsquirrel:I'm pretty sure it's pronounced: game-ze-um.
I believe that’s what he was shooting for, but phonetically that’s not how most would read and pronounce it.

Dear lord.
"I'm getting interviewed by local TV today? Honey, get me my good sweat shorts!!!! Yeah, the ones with the pizza stains!"
Is there a single responsible, intelligent adult in this guy's life?
Gotta hand it to him though - I know Ephrata, PA, isn't exactly a hotbed of breaking news stories but he's always done a good job of getting free press.
My initial reaction from the video is that the pin row walkway spacing is too tight and all the machines need a serious Mean Green wipe down. I'm also not sure the wall AC unit keep the place cool enough.
Quoted from pinlink:But...How will he run this place? I thought he was unable to work???
How did he acquire all those machines in a relatively short time, if he was asking for money for a sump pump and a doggie doctor?
Quoted from electricsquirrel:How did he acquire all those machines in a relatively short time, if he was asking for money for a sump pump and a doggie doctor?
As stated in the interview, he has never sold a machine. He values them more highly than the family dog and dry basements. Also, I believe he teamed up with the guy that has the retro video game store on the other side of town.
Why were there coins/tokens laying on a machine?
Quoted from starfighter:I'm also not sure the wall AC unit keep the place cool enough.
Hopefully there are several units...games and people warm a room quick for sure!
Since it is showed publicly in the video, I wonder if those breakers are the right SWD rated ones for being used as switches under load per the NEC.
Hopefully so.
Just curious...I know TONS of people use regular breakers as their game switches, but standard breakers aren't actually designed for use in that way.
Hope that building has central air. Whatever it has will be tested on Saturday. It’ll be in the 90’s.
Quoted from PismoArcade:For a guy claiming to be unable to work, he sure is flexible.
he has a digestive system issue from what has been posted in the past.
Super low quality FB video post hour ago....
Due to their high quality standards...
New "official grand opening" July 20th now.
Today is now a discounted cost "soft opening", but are open.
Reason given for change....number of games don't work.
Something about food trucks cancelled today too, but video said reason was because it looked like it could rain.
Plus side, video said if you go today and purchase a discounted pass, they will give you a pass for "new grand opening" in a month.
Since video was only posted an hour ago, I hope none of you drove super far today to go play pinball.....
Quoted from Travish:You would think he turned them on and had a burn in before the grand opening.
Seems like a rookie mistake, but what do we know, he's the expert. I mean it's not like people on this site know anything about video game or pinball repair 
Quoted from tslayer71:Seems like a rookie mistake, but what do we know, he's the expert. I mean it's not like people on this site know anything about video game or pinball repair
If only somebody could put together an "original" repair guide on these subjects 
Quoted from pacmanretro:Each arcade machine even features the original tube-style monitor
It’s his grave! From experience, that’s the last thing I would be boasting about.
Quoted from jahbarron:It’s his grave! From experience, that’s the last thing I would be boasting about.
I’m a lazy old fart. If I had an arcade game, it would be a cocktail game with multiple titles on it. With a flat screen monitor. Ms Pacman would be the primary theme, just like it was in the “Show Biz Pizza” days.
Why stand when you can sit?
Quoted from Electrocute:Why stand when you can sit?
I have over 30 upright arcade games and never stand when playing.

Yeah, but where are going to set your pitcher of beer? BTW, love Colorado. Used to live in Lakewood.
I know he has a chequered past ... and bad pants ... but kudos to the kid.
He said he was going to do it ... and he did it.
And it looks pretty good from what I can see in the TV news video.
Kudos.

Cocktails have the advantage on that one haha. I just usually have my beer on another barstool right next to me. Colorado is great but getting a bit crowded.

But did HE do it....or does HE just post tons of crap while asking for free money and other friends/family "did it"?????
Legit question, not being a dick.
