I think what's incredible is that the Keno brothers on Collect This! are 51 years old. I woulda never guessed.

Those guys try way too hard to be cool.

One of the things that suck about people like him too is that they are pretty much only 'collecting.'  He probably only plays certain games and just nabs others because he 'needs to have them,' which just ups the price overall.  If he was going to make a museum, like the guy from SMSpower is, great.  Otherwise, what's the point?  I hate that whole 'collecting for the sake of collecting' deal, it just ruins it for everyone overall.

Same for people who collect sealed games.  Waste of money IMO.  I usually always open selaed games even if they are original seal.

There was a DS game I wanted to keep sealed for keeping it, but I couldn't resist for even 2 days. I HAD to look at that cart and instruction manual and of course play the game.

What game?

One of those Club Nintendo games?

How is that game anyway?  I might import it.

It's nice for some fun, but the appeal isn't very lasting, at least for me.
