Congratulations on your achievement, whatever that happened to be. It may not have been important enough to mention what it was on this site, but it was important enough to mention it somewhere.
I would guess it's for the largest video game collection, considering Michael held that record before.

Haha, yeah, it'd be nice to know 1) what the achievement is, and 2) if he's a member of this forum. If it's for the largest video game collection, how about some pictures or something? As it stands, this is a pretty worthless topic and reads like a private message to Joel that was accidentally posted on a public forum.
It's for the biggest collection, and it's frighteningly huge.
Joel is on YouTube as The Last Gamer, and he's been slowly building what is essentially his own museum / literal library for all the games and systems. Massive big screen TVs, arcade machines, game shelves so bountiful it looks like you're shopping Blockbuster.

I've watched a couple of his videos, seems like a pretty cool guy.
**EDIT**
Aw, it looks like he took down his entire previous YouTube series and started fresh a month ago.

Well, that's definitely a huge collection and nicely organized, kudos to him. I can't imagine he has the time to play to any satisfying degree even a small fraction of those, though. I have a huge backlog myself with "just" my roughly 1500 games. I'm kinda beyond the point of being all that impressed by massive game collections. They more so make me sad thinking just how much money was blown on them and the fact that so many games are essentially going unplayed. I still love collecting, but I guess my heart will always be more in playing games than hoarding them.
So I got the name mixed up with Joel Hodgson and was wondering what sort of achievement MST3K could have earned to get Guinness World Book recognition.
No mention of a wife/mate and I assume the child in the picture is a relative or neighborhood kid because this guy screams "virgin".
Nice life.

Congratulations, Joel!
Real collectors drive Hondas, Toyotas, Chevys, Fords, etc... not Rolls Royces.
This guy might have more?

I have no opinion on his collection but once in a blue moon I do a belly laugh thinking about the time Edsel met him at a convention and said "his breath and body odor literally smelled like cheese taking farts on you"
