The DVD rental kiosk company was supposed to pay $16.7 million in three installments. After missing the first payment, there’s a court order to pay the whole balance.
As the drone giving that news, it was so bad for TV shows. Someone rented Planet Earth which came in a 4 disc set for $100. If you lose 1 disk, we required ordering another full set. Someone lost the entire collection and was required to pay $400. I loved that job, but they made terrible decisions towards the end.
I remember when the N64 came out. I was an assistant manager, so when we got a couple of N64 rental units, I commandeered one of them that first day and played the fuck out of Mario and Wave Race.
Ramping off a dolphin in wave race was the moment I realized games could literally never improve or become more realistic. It wasn't the dumbest thought I've ever had, but it ranks pretty high up there.
