Shouldn't this be off topic?

I could think of one other reason to collect those and it has nothing to do with being a gamer. . .

Im sure he bought all that stuff to attract young boys.

The themepark? A basic Arcade center?

Seriously the guy is a creep.

man I enjoyed the Thriller video also, but I refuse to ignore the terrible shit that dudes done just cause I was a fan of his work when i was six years old.

Anyway

./rant off

He's extremely rich and incredibly famous , you don't think people are just trying to steal money from him? He's done some unusual things but I think alot of it is just the media trying to manipulate him for there ownselves. Also he does love videogames , and a while ago he was invovled in some projects with Sega genuinely. I'm not saying he's entirely innocent , but to blindly say he is guilty just because of media and people suing him to make a quick buck is just as bad if not worse.

I'm not creative enough to have a quote

Maybe if even half of the money that went into his gaming paraphanalia, went into self improvement rather than self indulgement, he wouldn't be in the pickle that he is in right now

Maybe if even half of the money that went into his gaming paraphanalia, went to charities rather than his own "kiddie trap" he called Neverland, he wouldn't have had to self destruct the way he did.

Maybe if he cared about his internal stability and mental health as he did about his gaming paraphanalia, he wouldn't be the outcast he is now.

Michael Jackson.  One of history's greatest musicians.  One of history's greatest sadnesses

I'm not creative enough to have a signature

I can't help but feel bad for the guy.  I don't know if he's a child molester, and I will never know (neither will any of the other dimwits who think they "know"), but one thing's for sure; the poor guy has had some bad luck as of late.  Some of it is self-deserving (e.g. staph in the face from all his nosejobs), and he does seem a bit crazy, but does he really deserve all this bad stuff happening to him?  Oh well...

He's got a Darkstalkers machine! That's one of my all-time favorite arcade games and I haven't seen one for so long. Guess I should've been hanging out at Neverland Ranch.

I know, there's arcade emulators out there, but it's never as fun as actually playing at the arcade.

 Michael Jackson a little weird in the head with all these items that are obviously kid "attractable". I don't just mean the games. Even the theme of the whole ranch itself 0_o

There's no Medival Madness, he is obviously not a pinball fan, those machines he does have must be for other, possibly nefarious reasons.

Edit: Although it's possible he's selling everything but his Medival Madness, which would make more sense I guess.

 I dont see the point in this thread. I think it should be in Off Topic or Spam. It just doesn't make sesne to me.

It also makes me angry because all people in these forums ever think about is "True Gamer" and things. Gosh, people, doen't we have lives?

He said earlier he mis-posted this topic in the Pub.

And yeah, all that awesome stuff... but I'm not touching it. Ever. For very obvious reasons.

-There is no such thing as a stupid task, only stupid people who don't care to do them.
-Ignorance is a crime that should be punishable by death.
