You should be able to get video games from your local library.

Billionaires were literally put against the wall and shot, so "using your library card to play video games" should be feasible.

At least where I live, they actually do! They have video games that you can check out just like books/movies/cds. It was one of the ways I got to try out a ton of games growing up.

Nicholas II of Russia?

Really? Seems like what I’d expect from him.

Miss him on the daily show

Me too, but honestly I’ve grown to really like the rotating host format.

He grew up very poor. Most of what he owned was probably second hand.

In his book, he describes running an old school mp3 pirate business.

I just got a mouse for my SNES and it's great watching people play Mario Paint for the first time.
