Why is it that everybody assumes that women aren't attracted to smart, sensitive guys?
I'm smart and sensitive (not my words, mind you) and I never had trouble finding girlfriends and now I'm happily married.
Of course if you don't take care of your personal hygiene and can't talk about anything else than SCO, Microsoft and Linux you'll have trouble. But then again, you are not being smart and sensitive in the first place.
Actually even talking isn't (initially) that important. Women can talk endlessly about themselves and their friends, so all you have to do is to keep listening and ask something trivial once in a while to show that you're paying attention.
Next time I think 'I have a video game problem' I'm going back to this site to fell better about myself.
Amazing collection, but...

It seems a bit incomplete in the sense that it's lacking two of the four more modern consoles (at least, he only mentions a PlayStation 2 and a Dreamcast). There are definitely games worthy of collecting on both the XBox and the GameCube. Also, as a collector, has he ever actually played all of the games that he owns? I imagine that that would be pretty much a full time job, though if he can afford all of those gaming devices, he's probably independently wealthy.
This is one hell of a collection, but I can't help but wonder if he does anything to prevent bitrot or is preserving these games in some way. It's cool now, but in 20 years, he will be left with a lot of worthless plastic and silicon.

North wall: light streams in above some 3DO games, perched in front of them are Coleco tabletop units. there's a Virtual Boy on the counter-top to the left. hanging next to the window are some Activision patches and just below that, one of the two Vectrex systems we commonly play with. North wall: the other Vectrex is just to the right, alongside the Adventurevision. behind that, a loose ColecoVision game collection. Loose Nintendo games are behind the Millipede mobile. East wall: on the shelves are the nicer boxed titles for Atari 2600 and 5200, just to the right are the Intellivision boxes. Below, a custom-made storage rack holds over 350 Atari 2600 games. East wall: here's the rest of that wall. Intellivision occupies the three top shelves to the right.
West wall: various things tucked into this corner, blocking my way into the drawers (pics below). North wall: when you open the closet behind the hanging marquees, this is what you see. Game Gear, Arcadia, Vectrex, Game.com, books, and miscellaneous peripherals are kept in here. Note the "gun rack" on the door. East wall: under the counter-top is this opening where more stuff is packed in. Facing out are more NES games and a small cache of import Atari 2600 carts. Pull this back... East wall:...and you see my video game boardgame collection , some portable gaming stuff and more miscellaneous items that didn't have a home.
North Wall: pull open the top left drawer and find some of my Astrocade games and the older PlayStation stuff. North Wall: the top drawer second from the left has some boxed SNES games. East Wall: the top drawer on the left side has my Fairchild Channel F carts, and some of the better Commodore 64, VIC-20, and Atari 8-bit carts. Also my loose Vectrex carts here. East Wall: the top drawer on the right side has most of my import Atari 2600 cartridges, and my Lynx stuff.
North Wall: the middle drawer on the left side has Odyssey and Videopac stuff. North Wall: the middle drawer, second from the left has Atari 5200 stuff. East Wall: the bottom drawer on the left side has mostly boxed Atari 2600 games. East Wall: the bottom drawer on the right side has miscellaneous ColecoVision stuff, and a few Intellivision items.
North Wall: the bottom drawer on the left side has boxed Atari 2600 import stuff, some controllers and other miscellaneous homeless items. North Wall: the bottom drawer, second from the left has mostly 3DO goodies. South Wall: packed in under the staircase are a PC-FX, Video Brain and some oddball peripherals. Also my Sega 32X and Atari 7800 games. under the Pac-man pillow is an Odyssey frisbee and a CD storage cabinet with PlayStation games. South/West corner: still under the staircase, two CD storage units with PlayStation games. Behind that, two shelving units with boxed NES games. Between the shelving units, most of the Sega Master System boxed games. Sega Saturn games are stacked up to the right.
South Wall: just in front of the steps are some of the Dreamcast, PlayStation, and CD-i games. West Wall: much of the Genesis collection can be seen here, the monitor is running whatever console we're in the mood for (Dreamcast at the moment). Between the shelves of Genesis games are some of the PC Engine imports and Neo-Geo cartridges. West Wall: the rest of the Genesis collection is here. The monitor is dedicated to a MAME-dedicated PC with a HotRod SE arcade quality joystick. Behind the table is a complete TurboGrafx-16 HuCard collection and a portion of a complete Sega CD collection. North/East corner: just a further-back peek at this side for perspective.
On the other side of the wall is the storage area, where the DP publications are kept, as well as trade items. Some of the collection is kept in this room, mainly the hardware. The rest of the storage area. The upstairs room has our only coin-op machine, which runs Punch-Out!.Super Punch-Out!, and Arm Wrestling. Piles of stuff that I have no idea what to do with litter the corners. The back corner of the upstairs room, mostly

You can almost hear the web server quietly muttering "Game Over!"
Who needs a girlfriend anyway when you've got all those games?
I mean, lets do the math...
A girlfriend is useful for 10 minutes of the day, maybe 15 if you're in marathon mode.
A PS2 will give you entertainment from the time you wake up until the time you goto bed, and noone even gets tired!
