LITERALLY obscene and judging by the amount of videos he put up in such a short timespan, and that doesn't include all the time he spent playing video games, repairing and modding systems, as well as shopping at Japanese Electronic thrift stores. It's so evident that this guy had no life outside gaming. Which is fine if you are single and have no other commitments, but when you have a wife and kid you can't keep living your life as if you were still single. It's incredibly selfish. You can't have it both ways. I knew early on that he was probably an addict and a compulsive spender. I never could understand why somebody would buy multiple units of the same system and multiple copies of games and his justification was "because it looked lonely" or it was "calling to him" or "I just have the cart" It seemed he had more fun buying games then he did playing them. because the more stuff you buy the less time you have to enjoy the stuff you already own. I guess I have a hard time understanding collectors because I see no point in buying game you either already own or are probably never going to play. Having something just for the sake of having it is a concept I don't get because that's money I could put to better use. I guess that's why Im not a collector.
It really makes me wonder if perhaps he was ready for marriage and family. Because when you look at his videos he seems pretty immature. He was living in Japan and probably didn't have many friends since he was a foreigner and no family. So he probably got married because he was lonely. His wife got tired of his obession with his hobby took the kid and ran. Quite frankly I don't blame her but he clearly wasn't ready for such a commitment.
Nice first post. I agree completely.
