Aw man- this is honestly a bit disappointing. I know it's becuase of Last Gamer's amazing setup, but seeing how this guy's collection is housed hurts a bit. I'm big into accessibility of one's collection- there's no point in having it if you can't play it. I understand making concessions for space in smaller collections- it can cost some decent coin to create the infrastructure for accessible games. However- if you've got the money for Guinness-level collecting, you've got the money to house it properly. I only watched a few bits of the video, but- stacked dvd cases? Ceiling height shelves you'll need a ladder to even see properly (assuming you can fit one in that tight hallway)? Junk drawers?! Don't get me wrong, it's an impressive spectacle & it's not even close to the worst storage I've seen (plus there's some signs of 'work in progress' where I think shelving will eventually be?)... but c'mon, man! Skip to 9:10 and tell me that looks at all use-able! |

However unlike last gamer not everyone can be stinking rich wich can be seen for especially storage He has an above average salary probably and quite some room It's not as small as one might thing but still a hell lot less in comparison Would not be a fair comparison to the resources that the last gamer can spend on his game collection getting a seperate building hiring people to search stuff for him entire rooms with a hell lot of arcade machines. heck he even hired people to fix stuff for him and to get the perfect setup to play them games.. There is a huge difference in wealth compared to these two. also allot more modern stuff from this guy it seems Less impressive sure but allot harder to achieve with less money. not everyone can be a crazy spending millionaire after all. Allot of Props that he managed to get more games than an actual rich man by not getting everything cib and getting all them new releases for maximum count playing by the book to get in the guinnes world record. Also I quote if you've got the money for Guinness-level collecting, you've got the money to house it properly. The thing is while this guy has some expensive stuff with them cd based games allot of it is just lose cardridges this guy has more amounts of games for a fraction of the price compared to the last gamer So I dont think the guy has that much money left to house it properly he would need a bigger house for that. allot less retro stuff largely incomplete sets of for example the turbo grafx neo geo aesetc. The last gamer had full sets of neo geo aes USA version and mvs turbografx x980000 everything cib holy grails such as tetris megadrive etc etc So value wise the collection of the last gamer would be in another ball park than the guy that we see right here. i will say though pretty none will not get such a great collection as the current guinnes world record holders so no comments about . I dont think this guy made millions in the stock market probably above average salary or maybe in the ball park of a surgeon you need crazy cash flows to do stuff like the last gamer. |

No this guy is not me. Lol Well I can say I have the 3rd largest collection. (That I know off) lol I saw his collection and it's an impressive collection for sure. He must pick up every game on release. Kinda a clutter collector. I know many but I've seen worse. Reminds me of when I lived in an apartment. Just need a little over 5,000 more in my collection to beat him. Lol I have had other collectors with large collections offer to let me borrow their games just to get the title. I always say unless your donating them all to me I'm not gonna cheat. Lol If it happens it happens not gonna go broke to get a title. Technically anyone who has a ton of money and space can take the title. I kinda like this guy has it over last gamer due to he's a gamer/collector and the last two got their collections from running a business buying and selling games. I meet the guy who had the title before last gamer and he told me when he lost the title he called last gamer to congratulate him and last gamer kinda acted like he was better then him. At least thats his story. |
