    Quoted from DBLM:

    Going back to the picture, what the hell does “uniquest” mean, particularly in this context?

    That one I think I can answer. He means "most unique", but can't get the grammar correct. I don't think he means "uni-quest".
    No answer about the repeated begging for money, except I'm out on that.

    Quoted from Otaku:

    money off of the GoFundMe site

    Shows $290.00?

    #114 5 years ago

    With pricing ar $10/hr, I'm guessing it's gonna be a stretch. Even capped at $25.
    Family of four stops in to play a bit.
    Stays for 2 hours and 10 minutes. That's into the third hour, and hits the $25 cap.
    It's $100.
    They won't be back.
    Also, pretty tempting for skeevy people to skip out without paying. And what do you do with people who can't or won't pay?
    I do have to give him credit for the improved demeanor around here. That's a step.

    For comparison, Klasic Arcade in this area is $7 all day. Just went up from $5. Great folks and lots of fun games. Go there if you are in the area.

    So, are you open yet?

    #151 4 years ago

    The other odd thing is that this thread was gone, dead, defunct, inactive........... for more than two weeks until he brought it back. Who does that?
    It just makes us realize things like tomorrow it will be a year ago exactly that he started his gofundme begging for money to start an arcade that's still not open.

    #158 4 years ago
    Quoted from SilverballSleuth:

    I don’t hate this guy, and I think we should give him a second chance.

    I don't hate him, and I certainly hope that no one else does either.
    His rude, egocentric posts provide great entertainment.

    #318 4 years ago

    If only there was a website or forum where he could ask questions and get answers and advice from experienced collectors and professionals. Oh, wait............

    Quoted from electricsquirrel:

    does this make any sense to anybody out there?

    That basically says "These games are old crap, so get used to it".

    How about: "We are very sorry that your were disappointed with the number of games which were not working during your visit. We're working hard every day to get the games up and full working. Please understand that these games were in storage for quite a while, and some are quite old. There will always be issues, but we're committed to doing our best to keep the problems to a minimum. We hope that your next visit is much better in that respect. Please contact us directly, and we'll give you a discount on admission for your next visit."

    How hard is that?

    #567 4 years ago

    Can he go more than 30 seconds without mentioning how great he is?
    Has he never been to a decent arcade?
    No, your collection of games is not exceptional, unusual, or better than any other arcade, current or previous.

    Quoted from djreddog:

    It's the same account owner. Just ran the IP address and they match.

    HaHaHaHaHaHa.............
    (Breathes Hard)
    HaHaHaHaHaHa..............

    I had not put that together, but it completely fits.

    #796 4 years ago
    Quoted from pinlink:

    It's got nothing on Gameseum!
    Steven said so, you can't find another collection ANYWHERE like the A++ collection at Gameseum.

    Plus I see a game that appears to be turned off in one of those pictures. They must not have an owner who's an experienced tech on site to fix the games immediately.

    #853 4 years ago
    Quoted from Otaku:

    I'm too busy

    Guys, he's too busy to care.
    I bet he'll tell us again.

    #855 4 years ago
    Quoted from Electrocute:

    He seemed to keep it short once we learned Gameseum is not a registered trademark.

    Yeah, now there will be no stopping all those copycat Gameseum locations that open up. Arcade owners have been desperate for use of the name.

    #1087 4 years ago
    Quoted from Electrocute:

    ooh that smell, can’t you smell that smell?
    [quoted image]

    "I'll let 'the staff' know........."
    There's a 'staff'?

    #1089 4 years ago

    It would be an EPIC troll.
    I would probably laugh along if it happened.
    But, for me anyway, it seems like a step away from hamless ridicule toward being actively obnoxoius.
    So, yeah, I'm out. But I can very much see the humor, and incentive, particularly for those who got taken in his begging, or those he's been directly dickish to.

    #1108 4 years ago
    Quoted from Otaku:

    For years I've already been off of the site. Believe me, there's no active argument from my end.

    #1375 4 years ago
    Quoted from pinball-museum:

    because I already don't even participate on this site to begin with

    After posting the entire text of "Moby Dick" in the last 24 hours. From multiple accounts.

    Quoted from Isochronic_Frost:

    Maybe Otaku is on to something here.
    I posted an old meme that clearly related to what he just said, and apparently a bunch of old farts either have ZERO sense of humor, or they’re just assholes?
    Care to explain yourselves here, yzfguy wackybrakke palmer
    This is quite literally what he said in comic form, yet you are still just downvoting?
    Yet you seem more than happy to stir the pot and fling shit just a few hours ago?

    You repeatedly used a word that many folks find offensive.

    #1532 3 years ago
    Quoted from Isochronic_Frost:

    You people were literally calling Otaku retarded just one page ago. You submitted this idea as a fact and upvoted it. You’re cowards and disgusting hypocrites at best.

    What the hell?
    I just answered a question you asked. I literally thought you didn't know.
    Sheesh.

    #1542 3 years ago
    Quoted from Otaku:

    Goodbye Pinside.

    Thanks!
    See ya!

    Guess the fundraiser the local business did for him wasn't enough to supplement the tons of money he made and saved to prepare for the pandemic.

    #1810 3 years ago
    Quoted from Electrocute:

    GoFundMe #6 is either gonna be “Save Gameseum from extinction” or “Support our Mega Gameseum re-opening”.

    His girlfriend/fiance seems to have been around for quite a while.
    I'm guessing next moochfest will be for the wedding.
    Which, if it happens, congratulations Steven!
    But pay for it yourself, and please wear some real pants!

    #1855 3 years ago
    Quoted from TecumsehPlissken:

    I'm going to start calling his place The GofundmeMuseum

    Moochseum?

    Actually, that would be the median, not average.

    I love statistical accuracy, but.............

    words of the Wise Statesman, "Lies - damn lies - and statistics"

    #1929 3 years ago

    You misspelled "manifesto".

    #1965 3 years ago
    Quoted from Pablito350:

    The bizarre part is that you know he wrote that about himself. Why do I always read his posts with a pompous voice in my head?

    No idea which, but that might have been posted by his girlfriend.
    The level of admiration might be worse that way.

    #1994 3 years ago

    Otaku, is Bryan O.K.?
    He hasn't been around in a while.

    #2016 3 years ago
    Quoted from Otaku:

    Trying to squeeze them in one photo. Arcade selection (not shown, too many pictures required) is the brunt of the numbers, really heavy in that department. Getting up around 100 individual cabinets now and over 100 games (JAMMA switchers, etc.) already. It's been a fantastic and very fruitful year.

    You have a GoFundMe up RIGHT NOW begging for money.
    You will never understand why we see you as a grifter.

    #2117 3 years ago

    Let's not blow right past this married thing.
    Congrats dude!

    All other things aside, that's great!

    #2165 3 years ago
    Quoted from Otaku:

    Don't get so bent out of shape gramps.

    Yes, your online marketing skills are beyond parallel.
    Look at how successful your social media efforts are on pinball related platforms.

    #2262 3 years ago
    Quoted from Otaku:

    You clearly didn't read anything I wrote. Maybe if you actually stopped skimming what I wrote, you'd understand the situation a little better. I know reading and fully analyzing situations isn't Pinside's strong suit.

    I missed the part where you explained why you can't sell anything to raise the money.
    Could you explain that again please?

    #2267 3 years ago
    Quoted from Otaku:

    we had a great time at our usual dinner last night

    Who picked up the check? You don't have enough money to eat out if you can't pay your debts.

    #2271 3 years ago
    Quoted from Otaku:

    I had a gift card ready but Todd picked up the tab for both groups despite my insistence, great guy!

    Sell the gift card.
    Todd is a great guy.

    #2404 3 years ago
    Quoted from Otaku:

    Well, that's all I have to say

    He typed 1,000 words after this.

    #2520 3 years ago

    Hold on just a minute......
    He quits the site in a huff, with War and Peace as an alledgedly final rant post.
    And not only are they still looking at this thread, but the Gameseum account is STILL ACTIVE?!

    HAHAHAHAHAHA...................

    You can't make this up.

    Oh, and PayTheBoob! We know you see this!

    #2526 3 years ago
    Quoted from PismoArcade:

    Everything he says and hears is through a bizarro world filter.
    He makes more than a surgeon! He's broke!
    He didn't know he broke the escalera! He knew he broke it and felt bad about it but did nothing!
    ....and on and on and on.

    Adding bumptious legal threats to the mix really completes the experience.
    I did not see that coming, but it's really in character.

    #2755 3 years ago

    What about the $100 you said that you sent?

    We know it's you. No one else would type a 118 word sentence.

    #2770 3 years ago
    Quoted from Gameseum:

    The lack of reading comprehension here is uncanny.

    Yup. Sure is.

    #2774 3 years ago
    Quoted from Gameseum:

    the situation is fully resolved.

    So you are backing out of your previous offer to buy a brand new escalara when you can, and swap for the damaged/repaired one. Just wanted to be clear.

    #2911 3 years ago

    So I just looked at the Gofundme, and he has a note on there saying that he closed it.
    But it sure looks active to me.

    Quoted from Flowst:

    (Priest) Behold! A glorious "stair climber thingee"! long live the Boob!

    (Pirate) 'Arrrgh! Tis been dropped says I"

    (Boob) Wait....there's hookers here?!?!

    Something, something........

    (Priest) 20 bucks, same as in town.
