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

Relcom5823d ago

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

Superfragilistic5823d ago

Why so many controllers and a dozen headsets?

The poor wife.

gogators5823d ago (Edited 5823d ago )

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

sonarus5823d ago (Edited 5823d 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

Bathyj5823d 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.

lessthanmarcus5823d 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

SixZeroFour5823d 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

potenquatro5823d 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

tweaker5823d ago

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

Bnet3435823d ago

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

JasonPC360PS3Wii5823d 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.

Fux4Bux5823d ago

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

I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now

Furesis9h ago

I would say it does. The combat is a bit shit for todays standards but everything else is great.

anast7h ago

It's worth a play through today.

the first one is abit the odd one out but after u finished it, believe it it gets tremendously better and better

El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron - Coming Back for a New Generation

Originally launched in 2011, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is coming to Nintendo Switch, so It's time to look back at the original.

jznrpg1d 3h ago

Still have my ps3 copies. Bought it at launch and another one when I found it cheap and in perfect condition about 10 years ago. I wouldn’t buy it on Switch but if they made a PS5 version I would. I still have one of my PS3 Fats hooked up so good to go either way.

darthv721d 3h ago

Id play it again on the switch. I wished my 360 version was bc but this is still a good way to play.

Fallout 3's Reveal Led To Death Threats And Bethesda's First Security Guard

The artist behind Fallout 4’s Deathclaw reveals just how bad things got back when Bethesda took over the series

anast1d 5h ago

People are stupid I get it. No one should feel unsafe,

But I think they need to talk about why they cut so many corners during the development process and why none of their games ever look current. And why they think all of this is okay while they charge full price.

LucasRuinedChildhood1d 4h ago

As much as Bethesda deserve criticism, that's not really relevant to the reveal of Fallout 3 in 2007.

VenomUK1d 2h ago

The default angle Kotaku always go for is to highlight the worst in gaming.

I would’ve focused on the creative.

anast7h ago

The game went downhill at Fallout 3's release. This is when they started to cut corners.

gold_drake1d ago

there is no "but". the hell lol
you dont send death threats, period.

anast7h ago

Usually, you have good comments but this isn't one of them. It just rides the mob. We can do both condemn the actions and not let them use it for other things.

I can say I received a death threat and everyone needs to shut up. People are not honest and will use horrible things to their advantage.

Armaggedon20h ago

Not all games “look” current.

anast7h ago

Their games always look like the gen before it.

gold_drake1h ago

mh ok thanks, i still think ur wrong in this mate.

anast2m ago

No problem. I'm not here to convince you. I'm only stating an actuality. What your words do if we look at them like events.
