    Unless he can prove that he owned it before 2006 (when bootlegs became possible, thanks to a cover scan on Tetris Collection for PS2), I would remain very sceptical.

    I feel sorry for those who have to sell or move everything once he falls off the perch. Very jelly of his stuff though.

    Does he show his collection of Nintendo consoles/handhelds in one of his videos?

    Very very cool, love the look of the collection. On a side note, why do so many of you feel compelled to talk down his achievements? It's without a doubt a fantastic collection and he should be respected.

    I guess that's because he does not come off as a humble person in all of his videos.

    I think he's just very proud of his collection and I'm not really sure how your meant to show off 100's of games/cabinets while trying to be the most humble person ever. It was just a quick video showing it off after all. Your all entitled to your opinions though I suppose

    Have you seen his other videos? Watch the Ferrari, "this game sells for a million dollars", blabla. Don't get me wrong, I would never say his collection itself is not good - it's obviously amazing.

    Since he claims he got his tetris years ago from a sega employee, I highly doubt it's fake...

    Actually, I do. My arcade collection (~1300 pieces) puts his to shame but good collection of Sega cabs. My console collection from what I've seen is equivalent and I'm sure my retro PC stuff outweighs his.

    Nice collection but not surprising if he can afford to buy Lamborghini and he is also video game collector he would have the money to splurge on games galore without restraint. and if you have a larger collection than him props to you as well as collecting can be an expensive endeavor. However IMO I find that those who are not wealthy and not well to do who can amass a large video game collection in the housands is far more impressive because you can collect more with far less and to those who take this route I tip my hat to you :).

    Well, I'm impressed!

    But I don't want his game collection, or his cars...

    I want his bank balance!

    What on earth does he do for a living? Builder to the rich and famous? Lottery winner (twice over?)

    Still, it's hard to tell what anyone's like from a video - but he does come across as a decent guy. Good luck to him.

    Lol pretty much. What do his cars have to do with gaming? I understand it's a vlog but whatever... I'll keep an eye out for a Yellow Porsche, he's apparently from Melbourne. He said he wasn't rich as well at some stage (says a guy with many supercars). I'm really curious what he does for a living, can't think of what his power bill is, power here is extremely expensive. I've also never seen him at a convention or anything.

    I can relax and think he won't be spill bidding on XBOX stuff since he doesn't like Microsoft.
