    No job, no problem. $100k from cardboard boxes and old toys.

    By the look of the auto shop, it seems that Caine could really use the money for college. His life will be totally changed for the better by the arcade and scholarship fund.

    Im surprised you didnt say you invented the cardboard arcade.

    And on a serious note, I thought the same thing yesterday...a story about something GOOD coming from the internet. And its incredible how much money has been raised. Crowdsourcing funds really is the next step in anything.

    they just announced official shirts are on the way and encouraged to be patient, and not to buy the knockoffs.

    Does anyone have any info on the address/site where the location is??? I'd be happy to donate some of my old Nintendo/video game accessories/old toys/comics, etc.... This could turn out to be something beautiful...
