Thats quite impressive. Having a PC seems like such a daunting task, but its fun watching others do it!

Congrats! Have a very small curated individual player PC and It is really fun, especially when looking for hard to find items that don't cost an arm and a leg.
Q - what are Achievements?
Sat a couple of rows behind Piazza when the Pope was in town 6-7 years ago. Didn't want to bother him as he was with his mom and didn't think it was an appropriate time to walk up to him.
Thanks!

LOL....my one and only basketball card! Was just reviewing it the other day. Went in another direction with non-baseball card card collecting. Elvis, Paul Neuman, and Dana Patrick cards! Elvis - we share the same birthday - Paul Neuman - we are 6th cousins per Ancestry.com. Dana Patrick - was a reach thinking NASCR was going to the moon - oh well at least she is pretty.
What is an Achievement? Special set of cards?

RE: Achievements unlocked
IDK if it's a joke or not but I'm referencing achievements a bit tongue in cheek towards the gaming community and how video games have achievements - things to accomplish and unlock. No actual rewards here, just lots and lots of cards and the personal sense of accomplishment for having so many, the secret embarrassment for having spent so much money, and the IDGAF towards whoever has to clean up after me when I'm dead.
