The kid isn't his son or anything. Its a blackmarket baby he bought to alphabetize his videogames.

I await the day when this man becomes the victim of a serial arsenist.

So many questions...

Did he actually play all of them?
Does he read up on games before buying them?
Why does he have such a crappy TV?
And so on...

Damn, I've seen lots of huge collections, but that's just unholy.

I think it's great that he has all of that shit and a crappy TV. I know Summers already said that, but fuck him.

The exercise bike was also an ironic touch.

* Either that, or it's another of Nintendo's failed peripherals.

nah, I heard this story:

His wife agreed to marry him, so he could get some, on one condition. That he would some how work out while playing video games. Being the geek that he was, he constructed a generator upon an excersize bike and attached it to the TV. Now, he must peddle to play.

His legs are the size of tree trunks now. :(

Goddammit every time I say something somewhat insightful someone else says the same thing and tells me to fuck off :(

I think it's more annoying than impressive. You know he doesn't play all of those fuckers. Not that i always play all of my games either, but jesus christ, there's a collecter, then there's an obsesser.

it's that arcade game where you fly around on the propellor bicycle while wearing tight yellow spandex

You know the one i'm talking about if you've ever ridden a ferry in British Colombia

remember reading an interview with someone who was on a quest to beat every nes game ever released, think he was stuck on some obscure japanese games such as a piano simulator (which would require him learning to play or something)

i can understand a crummy tv with the resolution of nintendo games and most folks i know prefer the smaller televisions for them :x :x :x

that room reminds me of the potential maddened reaction of a lawyer who has his unlatched briefcase full of important documents blown asunder by the wind

and you know what

i want to be that wind
