Besides i think its freaking AWESOME for jumpman. And aside from it being awesome i think its very very impressive. Trust me there arent too many 20 year kids who really have the TIME and of course the MONEY to do such a thing. So I think its kinda cool and should be noticed at least a little bit. Not saying they are better than someone who is older, but respected. It really takes a lot of time and determination to do such a thing. And being 20 i have a million things going on (getting my own place, starting to pay my own bills, etc.) It really takes a lot of skillfull spending to get this far. i mean yea its not that big of deal, but in reality it kinda is in a way. After seeing jumpmans forum the day he got every game was awesome, and really gave me some more motivation to keep collecting. Because im sure it has happened to tons of traders that when they get like 500 games they dont know whether to just sell em or keep going for it. (i know i did). So i didnt start this forum to be fighting with someone, so why be so negative?
Man, your posts are really hard to read when you use so little proper punctuation.

I'm not offended or anything, nor am I trying to start a fight. I'm impressed by anyone who has the determination to complete a system library, especially one as large as the NES's, so I congratulate you on that. However, I think when you stray into the territory of comparing yourself to others, then it just seems like it's nothing more than a competition.

It's funny that you emphasize time and money, though. Honestly, I find nothing impressive about someone with a lot of time or money to spare. Generally, a kid with tons of games is just an indication that he comes from a better off family than the next guy. I am far more impressed by, say, a 35-year-old collector who manages to complete a collection after years and years of slowly collecting by trying to scrape up enough time and money between having a family to support, bills to pay, and a full-time job. Not that I know what your situation is; I'm just speaking in a general sense.
