This guy is gonna blow his brains out

The hell? That's his great idea? It's Ping-Pong, close range, no paddles, and only 2 dimensional. Yay.....
How did that take him 26 years? Did he wait for the tree to grow first, then hand carve the table from it?
 
Wank game. Shame he invested so much of his life into something you can play on any round table with books stacked either side. Not that you would want to.

Yeah, there were too damn many sob stories about people wasting their lives for their stupid inventions in that show. I hope that the Discovery channel makes their own version of the show someday, and puts the focus back on the inventions where they belong.
 
Didn't his mom every tell him never to put all his eggs in one basket?

Sad story. But one also has to wonder how much drama ABC infused...
 
what a stupid game.. he quit his job, sold his wife's wedding ring and moved to chicago for this? and it took 26yrs to "invent" a 2-dimensional, rount table verision of ping-pong? wtf was he thinking? idiot.
 
Was there there another dimension to the game? It doesn't seem like they even bothered to listen to the rules. A miniature version of hand ball?

Poor guy. On one hand I respect people that follow a vision independent of what the "experts" say. You have to consider how many great innovations have been made despite the fact that everyone else says it can't be done, but this is not one of those things. It seems he was misguided.

 
Poor guy. I don't think the game is THAT bad, but he's definitely mentally ill to have given up his entire life for it. He actually seems like a reasonably bright guy. Ah well . . .
