The only thing that bugged me about it is that people saw the $20k figure and compared it to my gameroom.  Yeah, I have more games than he does, but no I didn't spend anything like $20k.

Paige pointed out on KLOV that he said in the article that he was eating a raw vegan diet to stay close to his ex, but look at what's in his mouth....

That's probably good news that he was lying. The vegan comments by made him sound a bit like a panty sniffing creeper anyway.

This is the guy who works on Wall Street, makes couple hundy grand a year, posted the photo of a sports car that was/wasn't his and didn't have time to build?  I'd rather read a Wall of Text (tm) from X2....

This story is on the Chive today but I didn't look at it.

At least one is married.

Also... hot chicks who actually play video games who aren't attached who are of legal age is an extremely rare commodity.

You can figure it out.

I disagree, not a single one of these girls is a 5 or greater.  I also doubt a single girl on this planet who's a 5 or greater would be caught dead falling for the line: "She didn't like the feel of these Ninja Turtle sheets, what do you think?..."

7.5 wow go you !! The key to an arcade is to have it in a part of the house that the wife doesn't visit , my basement has a bar and lots of machines but more importantly .......... A ton of spiders !!!!

I'm also hitting WAY above my weight class for being a Ginger. And she works at the head office of the largest Craft Brewery in Canada. So I definitely lucked out.

Untill she gets her senses of sight and hearing back that is...

Another ginger chiming in.

First, lets take it easy on the ladies - theyre just innocent bystanders.

Second, did anyone else notice his high score board?  Beat a high score, win $100.

If i was any closer, I'd want to test out his stuff.  ; )
