Living Room / Kid's homemade cardboard carnival arcade (video)
« Last post by mouser on April 10, 2012, 12:59 PM »
Fun video of a kid with a passion for making his own carnival games, who is surprised by a flashmob of supportive fans.

Caine Monroy is a 9-year old boy who spent his summer vacation building an elaborate DIY cardboard arcade in his dad’s used auto parts store.

Caine dreamed of the day he would have lots of customers visit his arcade, and he spent months preparing everything, perfecting the game design, making displays for the prizes, designing elaborate security systems, and hand labeling paper-lunch-gift-bags. However, his dad’s autoparts store (located in an industrial part of East LA) gets almost zero foot traffic, so Caine’s chances of getting a customer were very small, and the few walk in customers that came through were always in too much of a hurry to get their auto part to play Caine’s Arcade. But Caine never gave up.

Ok I have set the final final goal of the fundraiser, to $7,000.  We've already exceeded our expectations so whether we reach that or not means nothing -- but I thought we might as well set it now to something that we have to stretch for.

I'm speechless... What a day of donations, 138 individual donations of the course of the last day.  Wow.

:huh:

What now? I guess we keep the fundraiser open till April 15th, as planned.. But everything after today is just gravy.

I'm half tempted to buy a used van, paint Cody's picture on it, and drive across the planet personally thanking everyone who donated.

I never really noticed - are there any incentives or challenges associated with this one? Last time we did all sorts of things to spur people on.

Actually running the fundraiser this year was a bit of a last minute decision so we didn't really have time to organize anything special.

Spent the entire weekend reorganizing and refactoring code.. I wouldn't exactly call it fun, but on the other hand it's a nice feeling to be able to reorganize stuff and make it cleaner and more logical.

Thank you soooo much to everyone who has donated.  It's a wonderful feeling to know the site is appreciated.
We've reached our original goal of $3,000 raised for the fundraiser.

THANK YOU!!!!!!




But.. It seems Cody is up to his old fundraising tricks, never satisfied with the size of his bag of coins:

And then a few minutes later:

Let's see if we can reach $5,000 -- enough to pay for an entire year of our server hosting costs!  :up:

I'm afraid not, but there are some good similar linux utilities like Gnome Do, and the cross platform Launchy.

Amen! The scientific journal scam has to end -- these scientific articles, funded in good part by public dollars, need to be free.

Thanks for posting this.. i wondered if the people i sent those big boxes of games to ever played them..

Cutthroat caverns is a fun one.  I like Citadels because of the mechanic of choosing roles.
