His friends now call him Paulie Walnuts, not because of The Sopranos, but, well you see why.

We are talking 150 walnuts.

This crazy and amazing feat occurred back in February 2014 at the Punjab Youth Festival. Interestingly, more than 30 Guinness world records have been broken in the last three years there. Must be something in the water.

So you think you have a huge backlog of games? Video game historian Michael Thomasson has to play two full games each day for the next 15 years if he hopes to get through all of his.

That’s the record holder in the badass Intellivision t-shirt. As of November 28, when he uploaded the video below, Michael already had almost 12,000 different games. He also owns more than a hundred game consoles, systems and whatever you call the Virtual Boy is. The thing is, he would probably have more games, but he sold his previous major collection to pay for his wedding. Awww.

Check out the Associated Press’ feature on Michael and his own writeup on YouTube for more on his collection.
