By now you have seen the first episode of the TNT reality show, All American Arcade:
Todd needs some script ideas to flesh out the show.

First we need to assign each cast member a "personality". We need:
A hottie that is the brains behind the whole joint.
A gay guy.
The bigot
The stud
The crazy old man that is actually a genius
The shy guy - 40 year old virgin
The eternal screw up
A homophobe
A nerd or computer hacker

I was thinking he could start with these staples:
1. An important client is insisting that a game is finished and delivered in an unreasonable time period. Things of course go wrong and hilarity ensues.
2. There is a mix up at the Tax Board, and the entire business is going up for auction in less than 24 hours.
3. Ongoing battle with neighboring business or competitor.
4. Ongoing crush with one cast member loving an uninterested (or oblivious) member.
5. They are told to bring a game to a Strip Bar. They bring a Playboy and it turns out to be a Gay Strip Bar.
6. Shy cast member delivers game to a hot woman's house, and she wants it installed in an S&M dungeon. Shy guy calls cops when he hears someone is being held hostage - turns out to be a DVD playing in the other room.
7. Idiot cast member buys a super expensive game at an auction - by accident .
8. Old flame shows up, and she turns out to be a world ranked player. Wife is jealous, hires Lyman Sheats to try and make herself a better player.
9. Celebrity visits/installations.
10. Idiot cast member must get covered in mud, kicked in nuts, choke on spicy food or drink a beer with a cigarette butt in it - at least once per episode.
