A quirky business man? Im kinda new here and the only posts I've ever seen him make are about prices or releases. So does he game or Is he just here to fill our lives with the joy of the neo?

(P.S Why is there basicly only AES for sale at the neo store, Or where is a good place besides ebay to pick up MVS?)

Considering how much he's busy with the NeoStore and various deals, i'd say 99% businessman and 1% gamer... free time is the key...

I think at one point he was as hardcore as the rest of us. It's just he's so busy with Neostore lately, and... Ah hell! Hey Shawn, wanna come over and play some video games?

I'm sure he plays games a lot still or at least somewhat... we don't know what his home life is at all, and just because he doesn't post doesn't mean he doesn't play games.

I think there were threats as this before and he did mention he played every single cart in his collection. He even organised little tournaments in the shop he worked when he was young didnt he?? Dunno where I got this from but I think it was in some old threat.

Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaadies,

why is everyone so obsessed with Shawn's collection, what Shawn plays, what Shawn has for breakfast, what brand of toilet paper he uses, etc.? Sure he's the admin, but he's just a guy like you and me, and I don't see threads getting started asking about the Neo-Geo preferences of other individuals.

Because Shawn is the Micheal Jordan of the Neo Geo community. Many new comers look up to himm and envy him.

So what do you have for breakfast Shawn?

I worked @ the local arcade a minimum of 20 to 30 hours per week for a solid year. This was during the time of fighters such as Killer Instinct, Samurai Shodown 3, Moral Kombat 3, & Tekken 2. I promoted and held tournaments for each of the aforementioned titles, except Samurai Shodown 2 was used instead of SS3. The contestants literally demanded that I not be involved beyond a hosting capacity during the tournaments, complaining that I was “too good”.

After the arcade was Software Etc., formerly known as Babbage’s. I spent 3 years promoting, playing, & selling @ this gaming retail store. We would have work parties at the manager’s house and I would always bring the neo with a new game to share. This was a fun experience, but it was time to move on.

Then came Neo-Geo.com and this is where I have been ever since. That’s an entire working life dedicated to the gaming industry. To say I’m not a gamer is ludicrous.

--------------------

FYI, I had Cinnamon Toast Crunch for breakfast.

Cinnamon Toast Crunch!!!
Is my favorite too. The breakfast of Champions,
Did you know, that Cinnamon Toast Crunch will stay crunchy in milk after 20 minutes, infact Cinnamon Toast Crunch stayed crunchy the longest in milk among leading cereals.

I think Shawn might feel like a father or a master or something. We're all just like his kids or pupils. We all strive to be something great one day, hardly any of us do though, Shawn has however. He took a dying scene and almost single handedly revived it with a righteous right hand. Thanks Shawn, we all owe you gratitude. Rock on Jables.

Well I'm new here, but if Shawn's the guy who has the store, then he's cool with me. Anyone who promotes and supplies Neo stuff has to be a pretty cool fella. This site alone is a testament to the fact that he's a gamer. To say otherwise is to just ignore the obvious.
