Hey guys
I just recently got featured in an article on MSNBC. Here is the link if you want to check it out.
http://tech.msn.com/products/a...?cp-documentid=4105725

Pretty cool little piece, even though I have a few more games than 400, times that by about 3, lol. It is also listed on my zoomshare site, but it has exceded it daily bandwidth because of the article, lol. It is the poor little website that could. It is also apparently the most visited site on the zoomshare network, lol.

I have no idea, lol. I was kinda shocked to see that in there myself. The author just sent me a message and asked if I would be interested in helping him out and getting from free exposure, I of course said yes. I had no clue what he wrote until I saw the piece myself.

Cool article, man. I studied journalism, and for a story about classic gaming, you can't beat talking to the guy who built the giant NES.

That's what he said too. He said that I was by far the craziest NES guy he could find. The article was supposed to be out weeks ago, but he re-wrote it to give me more page time he said. Fun stuff.

Old aunts used to come up to me at weddings, poking me in the ribs and cackling, telling me, "You're next." They stopped after I started doing the same thing to them at funerals.

LOl, that's cracks me up "400" games is all of them. And you mentioned this was even delayed as he re-wrote the story. Must not have re-wrote it due to fact checking reasons...

Good point. People aren't used to thinking of videogames as collectables so everytime there's a "look at what these crazy kids are collecting" article, the guy with the 8ft nes will be front and center Just makes for way too good a photo op to go with the article.

It is great to get a little "fame" out of this, but my main reason is to hopefully get some items I still need. I have gotten over 30 emails from people who have seen the article and have questions. A few of them say they have stuff I still need. I also have something really cool in the works because of this article, I hope to have a great story to tell everyone soon, but I am keeping it on the down low right now.

Your giant NES is seriously the coolest thing I have ever seen! Without being too much of a copycat, I want to make one of my own!
