I used to see those inserts in my gaming magazines for Japanese imports that had a long list of awesome shit I wanted so bad but couldnt afford and would have bought instantly if I had the money

I actually get the impression he does that on purpose, too. To seem like he was some kind of "badass" who also happened to be a video game nerd.
I think he was a huge video game enthusiast since really young, probably read a lot of magazines like the one you mentioned, but I'm not sure if all of his stories are true. It doesn't matter anyway, my post was a joke, i'm not really hating on the guy. Again, surprised from the reaction I got from many people here.
