5 Minutes of Fame [DP Store]

[kainemaxwell]

Once again, you win at collecting and at life.

That was an excellent vid It could have seemed really geeky but it just didnt at all.

I almost know how it feels to get your 5 mins of fame (no where near as great) when I got my 2 pages in Retro Gamer Magazine with my collection, I was really nervous about seeing it and what people would think. In the main I was worked up over nothing and people were cool with it. I got a couple of negative comments on some forums but I didnt let it get to me. My none Retro Gaming friends were even impressed and i think thats what your video does.. none Retro Gamers would think its was cool aswell as the Gamers.

Congrats.

Hi Rupe, it's nice to see ya here mate. On what volume of Retro Gamer was your collection featured? I'd like to grab that issue to see that, even though I've seen plenty of times.

Holy jeebus rupert how many boxes SMS's do you have bro? Mine was a crappy used one from goodwill. Let me get one, jk.

Sorry, I got distracted, that is a buttload of boxed SMS's.

Congratulations on your television thing. It was really cool seeing the inside of your store and it made me really want to visit there.

I don't know if you're trying to be humble or something, but honestly this thread needs a sticky imo, this is pretty big thing imo and definetely great exposure for you and the community.

Found it weird that I read about it once it got bumped, THIS IS AWESOME! STICKY!

Thanks for digging it out of two months of slumber, totally missed it!

Congrats on the attention Joe, looks like you get more than just 5 minutes of fame.

Your store is 364 miles, about 7hrs drive on a good day away. Are there any annual game conventions around there (within an hours drive) that runs 3-4 days?

Very cool - congratulations! Nice to see the store, too.
