Quote:Just ask Chris Kooluris, who transformed the bedroom of his Murray Hill apartment into an old-school arcade — then watched as his fiancée walked out of his life.

The only scoring he’s doing now is on his Pac-Man, Donkey Kong and Tron machine

Forget the fiance, look at his apartment! I want a place like that.


Before:

I'm not usually too judgmental, but is that his very non-discreet way of coming out? Check out those sandals and the cross-legged standing posture.

I'd keep that flooring, though. My inner Austin Powers loves it.

I think she walked out do to the flip flops and the feminine crossing of the legs. Also his arcade selection sucks. Should have Steet Fighter 2 at least and Metal Slug 2.

Seems kinda gay to me...good for him to get outta that situation though.

I'm with her on this one... No sympathy for a man who prefers a garish play pen. The previous setup was very tasteful - quality natural materials, not too much stuff, and not obstreperously minimalist.

Some people just have too much money... sigh.

I'm putting my money on the probability that he found the "Zoltar" machine and is actually only 10 years old.

It's possible that I missed it, but I didn't see a link to the original story. Here it is.

Not much else to say, beyond the fact that he was inspired to it by a sci-fi book called "Ready Player One", and that outside of his odd tastes in 80s stuff he seems to have his shit together:
"He’s fit and outgoing. He's a senior vice president at a global public relations firm. He helped engineer the release of Guns N' Roses album "Chinese Democracy" in 2008 through a Dr Pepper promotion."

Oh, and he has ninja turtle bedsheets, which is kind of hilarious:


So what is there to say about this? Honestly, it's a little strange, but as hobbies go its harmless enough, and his fiancee is probably going to regret her decision. Women will gladly stay with a guy who's a drunk, and addict, or who beats her, but ninja turtle bedsheets are beyond the pale? I could understand if he was an unemployed loser, but if he's a senior VP at a big PR firm, he's undoubtedly got loads of money and at least some kind of alpha personality. (An omega wouldn't have a fiancee in the first place, and your average beta would never have the guts to risk losing his girlfriend over something he wanted. All she'd have to do is tell him to put the toys away, and he'd say, "Yes, dear," and that would be the end of that.)

So he's now what, 37? Single and rich, with a flattering piece about him in the daily newspaper (and his contact info at the bottom, of course). He'll be bedding some geek girl in no time. Assuming the woman's about his age, she's past her prime, past her peak fertility, and is very unlikely to do as well with her next relationship. There's a good chance that her future includes cats.

I predict he will hit some fresh hipster pussy in the immediate future.

Post: #10

Bedspread is particularly embarrassing.

Post: #11

Dude has it made:

Well off
Lives in Manhattan
Fit and healthy

Just got free publicity.

I predict all kinds of bishes will try to him up. MILFs, hipsters, 18-22 year olds (wanting a rich older man), gold diggers.

Post: #12

Those fkn flip flops though and his pose...hahahahaha

I agree, some chick with fake big glasses and ice cream tattoos would bang him just to get a picture of herself in that room and post it on instagram....I just hope its not a fat girl with hams for arms.

Post: #14

All of that and he still has a window A/C unit.

MGTOW and the free pussy will come.

Post: #15

He ditched his comfy wooden chair à la française for some canary yellow plastic stool, somebody got a shit taste.

Post: #16

80s-90s TMNT was better too. I had those sheets when I was like 6 though... If I was going to go with an arcade in the room, I would think a MAME emulator would be pretty sweet in an arcade cabinet. That way you could get like 1000 games in a single cabinet. I miss the old arcades though, that was the place to be growing up. He would be a perfect match for a comicon attention whore if she were a true geek.

Post: #17

I think we're forgetting the most important lesson here: he barely dodged one. His fiance was willing to leave him over how he wanted to decorate his own place. That says something.

Post: #18

I don't like his "before" bedroom....too much wood, seems like if it's from the 1800s

Post: #19

Usually women control house decorating especially if they're going to live there. This guys moves were alpha as fuck. She wanted to go to the furniture store and he was like fuck you I'm bidding on this Donkey Kong machine right now.

Edit: Would replace Ms Pacman for dig dug, Saxxon, Galaga

Not sure how people are missing the obvious...

Look at the first pic and his stance and choice of shoes...

Next how people framed him as having his hit together versus a needy Omega whom wouldn't have the ability to be successful like him.

I feel he pushed a heavy hand to purposely push her out. He likely has dudes on stand-by, dude smells like a closet bisexual.

No real strait man frames his hips like that. Especially not for a photo in which a person is self-knowing of how they are trying to position their body. That stance looks uncomfy. Even if a photographer told me to do it I would tell him no as it would not feel natural. He has no qualms.

I have a dude at my school whom is obsessed win LEGO and has a dedicated room in his apartment for his LEGO. The dude is a flaming homo. He has the same traits as this guy. He is accomplished, smart (has multiple degrees, professor at another college), etc. But he has one glaring flaw that would make any woman run for the hills if try tried to sniff around on him which is his obsession to childhood toys.

This guy hit the jackpot with fame game. Gonna be a nice pussy paradise for the next couple months for this lucky guy. That's if he has game is not gay.

Only thing lining up on his bed will be chodes.

Dudes turned his apartment into a walk-closet, he just needs to step out of it and stop trolling.

Post: #24

Builds the kind of room that would attract a 16 year old boy, how is that not gay?

I admit having ONE arcade or pinball machine would be cool, but not 6 of them, and NOT in my bedroom.

Quote:His fiance was willing to leave him over how he wanted to decorate his own place. That says something.

That guy is a closet case. It think his fiancee leaving him had more to do with the fact that she wasnt getting fucked than with him buying Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comforters for his bed.

I like the 1800's. Natural wood is masculine. He should have taken it further down the Gentlemen's Club road. His mistakes are the window furnishings (use heavy drapes for that look) and the cheap, fake looking rug. The floor shouldn't be the same stain as the furniture.

Now? Dude's obviously-gay and having a mid-life crisis and this was his way to push his fiancé out the picture. He's working the pedo-hipster angle to get some 18-year-old geek boy to Michealangelblow him.
