There are a number of miners who have mines on the Test Site. Most are gentleman miners - meaning that they do not live on the property but mine from time to time.

Wouldn’t requiring owners to be bonded and insured solve 90% of the problem.

Myth: You don’t need to know anything about programming or combintorial math to be a game designer.

I’ve worked as a designer for a large slot machine company for a number of years. What I don’t understand is why didn’t these companies use a testing laboratory like GLI to implement all of the structures and regulations required by regional gaming authorities?

You are a hysterical ninnie ..

.. what is the name of the museum?

I have been in the video game industry since the late 80’s. From my experience - Lesson #1 - Unless you have a publisher, it will take you forever to get a publisher. Lesson #2-Double that time to find an investor. Lesson #3 - Double that again for a budget.

The concept doesn’t seem that strange to me. Instead of the developer going to a bank and getting a loan for the amount, the publisher is getting the loan instead. I suppose the developer is free to go to its own bank to get more money upfront. Although I don’t know how a bank would respond to know that it would be…

Most likely this company doesn’t have any money left and they are combining assets from another game into this one.

As a side note - looking at the device as a clock. Although it looks tidier to solder the transformer internally, I think it would be safer to use a commercially produced external transformer. That way you are not soldering next to 120 volts. Other than that, it is a real nifty clock.

And the fact that it probably wieghs no more than 10oz.

That makes sense. I thought it might be a portable show controller - used to control curtains and props. But certainly not a bomb ..

That is not a bomb.. Jesus .. It appears to be some sort of midi or smpte device where pulse signals are connected and then sent in time .. why would you need dozens of connectors for a one bomb? God have mercy. Also if you look at the transformer .. it is like four times the size of the clock. BTW - the transformer…

What part of it looks like a bomb? Is it the electrical plug or perhaps the small circuit board .. the flat LED clock screen. Could it be the pencil case that measures about 10 inches long and 5 inches wide.
