Title: Living the dream or wake up to yourself?
Post by: pinsanity on June 11, 2014, 12:30:05 PM: I usually don't post fluff like this, since the guy is obviously an attention whore, but it was in my "news"feed when I was checking my email so thought you might like a laugh.

Fiance leaves man after turning New York apartment into '80s arcade (and apparently the Ninja Turtles bedspread played no part in the decision.) :lol

What's wrong with these people ^&^

Anyone with a passion is cool in my world, albeit slightly warped ^^^

Post by: joele on June 11, 2014, 02:09:26 PM: So was that a spare bedroom or the bedroom he and the fiancee shared?? Bit confused as she gave permission for him to do this to 'his' room (not theirs)...

At US$34k I think he got a little ripped off, lol.. sorry couldn't help it.. nice man cave though..

Yepp, saw this this morning on tv.
How the hell do you spend $34k renovating one room !@# !@#
And yeah it DOES look good though, but he should've added a pin or two *%*

Post by: noj472 on June 11, 2014, 08:16:12 PM: I think there can be a balance between the two. But turning the bedroom into the arcade was just asking for trouble. @.@

Post by: Slash on June 11, 2014, 08:51:43 PM: That guy posts on pinside under the username: Kaneda.

He also posts on a GN'R message board I frequent. You will notice the Use Your Illusion album covers in the background at the start of the interview.

What I don't get is why do that to your bedroom, why not another room in the house? As for the $35k cost surely it also included the games etc, but even then sounds expensive to me.

Post by: Retropin on June 12, 2014, 09:58:19 PM: Reckon its a beef up.. its not the arcade machines at all that split up his relationship.. its the fact that the guy is a bit of a numpty and sleeps in a TMNT bed spread
