I play russian roulette everyday, a man's sport, With a bullet called life, yeah mama called life. SUGAR.
 
Shouldn't have posted the video but the game is pretty cool, and you can donate at the end to the charity.
 
So, I'm playing Spent... Where's the option to launch a new product and make gobs of money? That would make more sense, only idiots allow their incomes to be dictated by someone making more.
 
Game results: Also, I made it through the month w/ $1213 and combined rent was $850... and that was as a temp worker with a kid... With that extra money I joined WF as a content writer in the BST section and made an extra $20 a day.

Whit that extra $20 a day I bought three coupons on the first day (Bing, Google, Facebook), illegally downloaded Dreamweaver and Fireworks on thebay, paid for a few $5-10 landers, and I started testing several campaigns w/ the free money (this is after taking advantage of the namecheap SOPA deal of course by buying a flexible domain name that I can use for multiple niches). I ended up only any money on my Bing campaign, but found a way to get an extra $15/day net from scalping cheap keywords...

I then joined textbroker and added an additional $7 a day to my income. At that point I saved a week's worth of money and launched a clickbank ebook "How to replace your day job in 30 days" and ended up making an additional $400 a month.

Now I'm making an additional $1350 a month which is paying for my rent, groceries, internet, health insurance, and gym.

From there the world was my oyster as I kept on grinding until a year later I had 15K in starting capital and hopefully more skills.

So again... why are poor people wasting their time in Zucotti Park???

This game is annoying... "you can't ditch your car completely?" Fuck off. You don't need a car, you lazy fuck. Get a bike. It assumes you're the sort of person who just plays within the rules society offers you, and does no thinking outside the box whatsoever. That's why you get screwed.

It's like a friend of mine ran into big financial trouble, and couldn't afford electricity - so she told the power company to fuck off, and now lives off grid. It was hard to start off with, but now she prefers it. There are always options.
 
Should've posted this video instead.

This game is a fucking sob-story piece of shit that tries to justify why people on welfare can't get off welfare. Bullshit choices like "Your forgot your lunch, but a $6 salad or fast food" are unrealistic. If I were poor and forgot my lunch , I'd skip lunch that day and make sure I don't forget it the next day.

Just some bullshit created by a liberal organization to try to make people that work (or worked hard and are now retired) to support themselves feel bad for those lazy fucks that sleep until noon, sit on the couch all afternoon and then sit on their front stairs drinking 40s and committing crimes.
 
That game was totally unrealistic, I would have ended up with more if the sneaky liberal cock gobblers hadn't omitted the "Obama redistributes the income of the 1% +$2000 and a baby unicorn" step. :rolleyes:
 
Hmm... I think what it really shows is that bleeding heart middle class liberals would have a tough time if they actually had to make choices and tell their kids "no" once in a while.

Vigeland: Yeah, and in a really strange way. I mean, obviously there's no way to compare playing this game to actually going through this, but I did. I felt terrible that I couldn't let my kid have a little thing of ice cream from the ice cream truck.

Really? I always tell my kid "no", because I'm an anti junk-food fascist. Never have a problem with it.
