    @shou now that is what I call impressive :) and @Yukumo a collection pic is in order. Yeah I share the same sentiment as the previous people for a collector who hasn't an inkling of what games he has and what he is collecting is surely a poser there I said it poser going back to watching Gleaming the Cube....

    I saw a collection similar to this from a guy I bought games from at a yard sale. We talked shop and he and his wife walked us around their house. The guy was a former employee for Electronic Arts. Very neat stuff.

    Not sure what it is with Australian architecture and building but the houses always look like crap on the outside in his vids. His newer place is huge but looks like a cheap build inside and out.

    The house looks more spacious but by the way he's describing it I don't believe he'd fit his collection in there either. When you've got more money than sense you'd think you'd build one house and then be done with it, or perhaps buy a business location and run an arcade museum or something.

    Arcade museum is a good shout! Seems too much stuff there for one person to handle on their own. Still jealous of the collection.

    His new house looks total ass BUT if done up right with all the new stuff planned it could be amazing! This guy is far from being a millionaire, I think he's a billionaire. The amount of cash he splashes about just like that is boggling. My brother is married to a millionaires (seriously, I'm not bull shitting) and they can't live like this guy does. I really wonder what on earth he does for a living.

    His videos are interesting to watch but also kind of shameful. He obviously has alot of money (good for him!) but to make endless videos about all his stuff is just not right. I mean you have pick up videos from the average person but these aren't pick up videos, hes constantly showing off everything he has including cars etc. The average youtube vlogger will maybe do one of these kinds of videos (heres my complete collection).

    Also the "property" is certainly nice but that house looks like its about to be condemned. Lots of money but not much for taste eh?

    Sounds like the guy just needed land. He was going to rip apart the home anyways since it was too small to begin with without the additions.

    There are few toys people with $100 million or more can not afford. You don't need to be a billionaire for that... hell, all the stuff we can see in his videos including his house probably doesn't exceed $5-8m. If he has something like $10 in cash and another $30m in assets, it's completely doable. Some rich people like to spend big, and he obviously does.

    I bet he's in Toorak or Kew, where most million/billionaires are.

    From what I remember it's near Melbourne, at least he's bought a couple of pinnies from there.

    From the video, it looks like he has already started remodelling. The pools looks newer so do certain parts of the house but regardless, it looks like a ghetto suburb house. You're going to have to do a lot of work to hide all of that ugly brick.

    *Compared to who's come forward.

    Sorry to say it, or be a negative nancy, sure his collection is big and he has a lot of money. But he's a bit pompous.
