32 year old Gamer Seriously Obsessed with Microsoft

Matt Writes:

Hi there! My name is Matt, gamertag: Velodyne. I am a 32 year old hardcore Xbox collector. I am married and have a very understanding wife who accepts my gaming addiction. I just wanted to share with you guys some pics of my Xbox 360 and Xbox collection. To date I currently own all of the North American Xbox 360 games (247 games) as well as all of the Xbox Live Arcade games (129). I also own 150 original Xbox games. Various accessories are also shown in the pictures. I am hooked on the Xbox platform and all of the achievements that can be had with owning the games for the platform. I try to play on average about 2-3 hours a night after juggling working as a full time home audio salesman, and looking after my 8 year old step daughter. My wife occasionally plays some of the puzzle games on the system and she can't wait for Ninja Gaiden to come out to watch me play. She loves the original! As a long time fan of your site, I thought you would like to see my collection as I am definitely an obsessed gamer.

Dude can't be playing video games when he hits 40 mann...you have to draw the line somewhere

Relcom6588d ago

and something just being creepy is small, and i think Matt crossed it awhile ago

Superfragilistic6588d ago

Why so many controllers and a dozen headsets?

The poor wife.

gogators6588d ago (Edited 6588d ago )

his wife is letting him host some lan matches. What else does some one need a dozen or so controllers for?

sonarus6588d ago (Edited 6588d ago )

Lol that is a real obsession. He has a little shrine going on there...some serious worshiping indeed. Hard to call him a real game collector since he restricts his gaming to only one brand

Bathyj6588d ago

No wonder Mart, I mean Matt, only has a STEP Daughter. At least the freak has a Bravia.

Buy yourself a Playstation or a Nintendo, obsession is not good.

lessthanmarcus6588d ago

You can play video games til you die. It's another form of entertainment. Why would you tell someone "oh you're too old, you can't watch movies." What bothers me though is all the money he spent on CRAP games. Pick up a Wii or PS3 and buy the quality games there. Shouldn't have wasted your money paying full price for all those crap games. He'll regret this later

SixZeroFour6588d ago

he actually says "I am a 32 year old hardcore Xbox collector"...note the "harcore 'Xbox' collector" so yea, i would say he said it right the first time

as for his head sets and controllers, i would say that he has that many cause he is trying to buy every version of the controllers and headsets, and as for the doubles, id say they came with his purchase of the various 360 editions he has

i gotta say thats a pretty impressive "xbox" collection

potenquatro6587d ago

let me get this straight. a rich guy can have a classic car collection, or a g-string collection from all the girls he has banged(best kind), but as soon as he collects xbox games he's a looser. if alot of poeple here would judge themselves the way they jugde others they'd fail miserably. this is just some hating because it's not a ps3 collection.

@creepa: if you love videogames enuff to comment on a gaming site regularly, i'd like to see u at 40 finding out u still love videogames, and becoming the very evil u preach against.

well atleast he has a wife so is not that bad u kno. hes not those 40 year old virgin living with there mom still, but sooner or later he needs to drop the games

tweaker6588d ago

He shouldn't have to drop the games. Why would he? If that's what he loves, why stop?

Bnet3436588d ago

Exactly, I'll keep playing video games till' I die.

JasonPC360PS3Wii6588d ago

There saw a pic of a 45 year old lady on Live the other day, she still looked gof for 5 kids and 3 grandkids. My mom is 57 and she play's the hell out of Final Fantasy, Warcraft, and Fable.

Fux4Bux6588d ago

That is freaking pathetic. Just don't buy some of the crap games and you'd have a lot more good stuff.

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde37d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy37d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

DivineHand12537d ago (Edited 37d ago )

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

However, Rob didn't just rest on his family's 8-bit laurels. From leading major LEGO franchises at TT Games to tackling the high-stakes world of technical porting at Huey Games, Rob has carved out a unique path in an ever-evolving industry. In this candid interview Rob to discussed the burden and beauty of a family legacy, the technical "scar tissue" left by the ambitious Hydrophobia, and why porting a masterpiece like Inscryption to consoles is far more than a simple copy-paste job.
