Living the dream or wake up to yourself?
« 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

Better filled with pinnies, but I can understand his passion. He enjoys the social aspect and that was/ his generation.
Anyone with a passion is cool in my world, albeit slightly warped  ^^^

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  *%*

I think there can be a balance between the two. But turning the bedroom into the arcade was just asking for trouble. @.@

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.

Buy a bigger house, then do a games room. 34k, decent deposit on a new place.

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
