I think you'll be waiting a very long time. Unless CGI is to a point where they can make anime chicks look real.

wow - crazy stuff. Can someone please explain to me the logic of having tens of thousands of dollars worth of games (or DVDs for that matter) and a jank 24 inch tv? I just don't get it!

I can assure you that Dave is a cool guy who does indeed have a girlfriend.

I just don't see the point in having "complete" collections. There are a lot of games in these complete collections that are absolute crap. It's for this reason that I did not get the recently released Batman Anthology DVDs that came out a few weeks ago. Batman & Robin in my collection? I don't think so...

Whoa!!!
He doesn't just have a ton of stuff, he's got a lot of rare stuff too, the Kingdom Hearts figures are pretty cool too.
Since he likes to take pictures so much, I'm also in the camp that says lets see the one of the girlfriend

I went back and actually read the comments. It says in there that he only has the 24" tv because that was all he had room to fit in there after all the shelves for games were put in.
Still seems pointless to me, but to each his own.

I've actually always wanted to start a thread and ask all the people with 300 dvd collections and 20 inch TVs WTF?!? but, I could never figure out how to non-offensively ask the question.

I just, like you, don't see the point of having that many games and 24" tv. If I had that kind of money I'd defintely upgrade the TV first.

This is my buddies game room. Pixy should know him too from the DP boards as Portnoyd. And I see Postermen popped in here as well 
My collection was on par with Ports til he went and got a woman that had just as many games as he did D:
Anyways he has every genesis and nes game. the ccdebt page is on old page he just recycled it used to have his debt on there. And he is also no where close to being 40
We are both editors for the Digital Press retrogaming collectors guides www.digitpress.com , unfortunately the site is down at the moment (not my site)
Also the average cost per game in his collection is under 2 dollars due to lots of thrifty shopping. And probably closer to 1 dollar

Seriously, cool pillow and a very impressive collection. A solid layout, considering all the goods. I did a quick read-through on the site; was there no love for the PSP?

Er, neat, I suppose. Although I'm not sure to whom except the owner, ultimately...
