Only if you slept little to none, had small breaks, made speed runs and somehow make a living off of it.

I want to play Uncharted 3 to finish it but there's so much other cool stuff (the new series Gotham) that there isn't enough time.

I wonder if he just found about flash carts. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

 

[Catastrophic]

I wonder what would inspire people to build up a collection that large only to sell it all away later on.

usually because of money
maybe he needs a car, looking into a new house, family related, or has debt to pay off

 

[Bladexdsl]

shit the avgn is selling his collection?!

 

[Sheimi]

Holy fucking shit. If I was rich, I'd buy the entire collection.

 

[vayanui8]

Is it just me or does one of these pop up every 3 months or so

They have been quite common recently... makes you wonder ;p

 

[Taleweaver]

YUP! MY GAMING ROOM LOOKS VERY SIMILAR TO THAT!


not really...but I have to pretend it is because I once downloaded a torrent full of nintendo gaming romz

 

[Guild McCommunist]

I like how an entire life's worth of a collection is only about $160,000. Which is a good chunk of money but it's not exactly going to get you set for life.

 

[Haloman800]

I'm willing to bet you can put the whole collection together for less than $25,000 (& a lot of time). I have no idea where he gets the outrageous price of $164,000.00

Life changes and they don't want it any more.

While outrageously high also, (a factor of 10x more!) Go big or go Home I say.

 

[WiiCube_2013]

The ideal place for this enormous collection to go to would be a museum and then have some consoles with playable games, of course with limited amount of minutes or you'd have people always hogging around.

I've got my own collection of games and Dragon Ball but I don't think it'll ever be this big nor do I want because I know that I'll never play every single game. Even James Rolfe who owns like every single NES game hasn't played it and he seems to suck at some of them.

well games were harder and more HARDCORE back than these days games are dumbed down for the casual crowd...

To be fair, games back then were commonly broken, had poor mechanics and hard levels on purpose to extend play time of otherwise very short titles, or were blessed with a mixture of both. Games these days are simply more realistic in their expectations of players, also opening themselves to a larger player base, which is good. If games were still developed like they were in the 80s, the game industry probably would have flipped over and died already with how expensive production is anymore.

 

[Bladexdsl]

games back than made you figure stuff out on your own where do i go, what do i do. these days everything is told or handed to you this is where you go, this is what you do even nintendos games...

While NES had great games it also had a large chunk of them which were as bad as Wii's sholveware.

 

[SSG Vegeta]

I want the fat GBA & those DS
