00:00I wanted the fame. I wanted the pretty girls coming up and saying,
00:03Hi, I see that you're good at Centipede.
00:07This is Walter Day.
00:09He became the center of the video game universe.
00:13He was the first to realize the competitive nature of gaming.
00:17I'm leaving the video game industry to be a musician.
00:20I said, you're not going anywhere.
00:23Didn't I tell you, you, you, you, you?
00:26Never not too long.
00:29I've never had a lot of girlfriends.
00:34Shane was the first person since my high school sweetheart.
00:37He says, Walter, I've secretly been seeing a friend of yours.
00:42I started hearing songs in my body.
00:45138 songs.
00:48David Reichelt of Color Switch said, we want to pay for your album.

01:18The last three or four years have been like a tremendous swallowing in darkness.
01:23Because I got accused of cheating.
01:25Attacking Walter is like attacking somebody in the Amish community.
01:28Walter's not the kind of guy who's going to fight back.
01:31You're ultimately looking at a million dollar judgment being entered against you and following you for the rest of your life.
01:37I wanted the world to hear this music.
01:40And if it doesn't happen now, it's never going to happen.
01:43It's Friday night, they go on the stage in about one or two minutes.
01:48I believe that we're going to be sold out.
01:51Nobody would allow anybody to hurt Walter.
01:57My name is Shane Harris and Walter Day and I used to be in love.
02:02He said, I wrote over 150 songs about you.
02:07And I said, what?
