It took Hopkins over 20 years to collect all the games, and he only began taking his hobby seriously in 2010, when he started actively searching for older releases around the world, even documented his journey on YouTube to his then-14,000 subscribers along the way. Of course, collecting that many games (as well as 200 consoles) cost a lot of money—over $2 million, to be exact. Unless someone buys his collection, it’s doubtful a record like this will ever be broken. Imagine cleaning all of that![/nk_text]
Dark Souls – Gamer beats it using nine different controllers
In the gaming community, it’s no longer just about beating a game; it’s about how you win. We’ve seen Twitch users play Pokémon and a player beat Bloodborne using a Guitar Hero guitar. Clearly that wasn’t enough, for in March 2016, a gamer used a Rock Band guitar, a Rock Band drum kit, a Rock Band piano, a Donkey Kong bongo, and an assortment of other controllers to beat one of the toughest games in history: Dark Souls.
Canadian gamer Benjamin Gwin (a.k.a. bearzly) earned the distinct Guinness World Record for “most alternative control methods used to complete Dark Souls.” In total, he used nine different peripherals to beat the game. Gwin must have loved taking on this challenge, because he plans to do it again.
