Awww crap....

Randy need Tranquilizers

I was feeling pretty good about my collecting..based on the positive reaction we received this weekend at my son's birthday party...

Well that didn't last long, lol. I flipped thru some channels today and landed on an episode of A&E's Hoarders... As luck would have it, this particular episode dealt with "Randy" a hoarder of arcade machines... To the point of being a major weirdo, lol. Of course the Arcade Machines sank their hook in me and I find the show utterly facinating.. He was set on opening an Arcade museum called "Randy Land" and had dozens of mannequin replicas of himself in the Cade'. LMAO. Has anyone else seen this episode? or watch Hoarders? Is this show for real or staged??

I'm shaking my head now...I've got a few of the Hoarders warning signs, but at least its restricted to the garage, heheh.

Dont get any sort of Jelousness over this guy LOL ,, that story turns me off collecting anything . My idea of my arcade machines , is that i can play every one when i want , why ? , i only buy the games i like to play [ and close friends ] , insane types like him are froot loops , probably with no real friends . [you way better than this dude !! }
 
He was way less crazy than the other lady on that episode. She's got some serious issues.

Was an interesting episode to say the least. Does anyone remember the "Golden Ticket" that he was auctioning off on ebay a while back for a all access pass to his arcade wonderland. Sorta got a chuckle at the end when he told the movers that they all had golden tickets.
Gotta love Mr. Fascination.

This show made him look rather sane and intelligent. (compared to anything else he has said or done)
She is a lost cause.

Dude does kind of look like Willy Wonka.....
 
Maybe i missed alot, maybe i dont know enough about pins, but from what I saw on the show his collection wasnt that awesome. All i really noticed were rows of 100-200$ EM pins and old worn out EM shooters? I mean i saw a few old classics in the background, and im sure the horse game cost him alot.

Oh and what a fruitcake.
 
check out the deleted scene on the hoarders website, "Who wouldn't want to taste 20 year old randy cake".

Arcade Repair Tips posted about this on facebook last night, i got in on the action around 10 minutes after it started. Mainly EM games was all i saw, guy seemed rather sane compared to other hoarders i've seen on the show.

the klov post was epic tho it was tl;dr (referring to GOD).

no. those are 5k a piece!!! gotta add it up to millionssssssssss
 
I guess what disturbed me was when the therapist was asking Randy about the purpose of his "collecting" then he answered something to the effect of wanting to recreate experiences of the past for people to enjoy..

At which point, I thought "OMG...that's me!"....

Then Randy busted out the "Randy-quins"...

and I caught myself thinking..."OMG those are kinda cool, mebbe I oughta look into getting some of those!" LoL!

I kind of liked him at first, but the way he started talking down to Matt and the people trying to help them like they were lazy paid servants made me want to smack the hell out of him. It's like sheesh, they're there trying to help you for FREE you dumbass! Let them take as much damn time as they need and if you don't like it, take 2 F-you's and pay a moving company to move your shit like everyone else has to! I hope the hell he apologized later?

BTW, is that massive EM horse racing setup in the KLOV database?
