Better be bubble wrapped and sandwiched between cardboard to prevent damage.

Extra cardboard?  You mean a bulk order of sound dampeners lol

But seriously nice pmv laser active set up..

First time I have ever posted pics of my lair...  I almost feel odd letting people into my world.

My original TV from circa 1990.  Still kicking, even if all the front buttons have fallen off.

My girlfriend lets me keep the new stuff in the living room.  She makes me hide the old stuff in my game room.

/14awsuv.jpg
PS3 and 360 sit in the bedroom.

I have a storage room that I just throw stuff in, which has all of my duplicate systems and other random junk.  It is so messed up, that cannot be documented on here, as I fear I may be featured on a future episode of Hoarders.

^^ Man look at all the AES  goodness. I'm jealous.

[esteban]

Clash, all you have to do is get all those damn wires, power cords and controllers under control. 







Recycling old photos. Don't get upset, I use the Sony CRT for all my old consoles (I literally slide it out of the closet). I was curious about how my old consoles looked on the LCD when I snapped that photo (to test the alleged "game mode" in the settings). Not pictured is the subwoofer + speakers I use when I can blast music (otherwise, I use headphones). I rotate hardware and consoles every month or three...

[TheClash603]

Esteban - I may have the wires of 15 systems and 30 controllers on my floor, but at least I don't have a cord covering my TV screen!

Toymachine - If you look closely next to the TG16 games at the stack of crap covered by the garbage bag (to avoid sun fading) with a few firecrackers on top (for the sake tempting the Gods), that is a stack of about 20 AES games.  Note, the AES is not actually on the floor, as I am using a Nuon as a shelf.  ...the Nuon and N64 do get floor treatment, for obvious reasons.

.  You just have to add insult to injury don't you ?

That's pretty wicked Clash! 

I dig the PAC stack, the boxed Goggles (drool) and other LA stuff.  Didn't see your discs though, I'm guessing they're hiding in a box somewhere.

All of my LA games are hidden in this case, which is under a stack of other boxes because the thing is heavy duty and it can handle it.  No joke, I can't lift the case due to the weight of the case + it being completely fully with LA games.

Another game room Easter Egg, the boxes above the LA game case contain my two Vectrex 3D Imagers.

Finally, the shelf of Sega Saturn items is just a handful of the games.  130ish of my games are held in a CD binder, with the cases in the previously mentioned storage room.  I just don't have the space to display all of those mammoth boxed Saturn games.

P.S. - I need to sell a Vectrex 3D Imager.

Holy fuck. Also.. damn. :3

Hahahahhajjajajaj. I know, right?

Did you notice that the 6-foot cable running video signal from my SCD barely reaches the TV? I rarely use the LCD, but, damn, clearly I have problems.

[ToyMachine78]

change is in the air! can't wait for the new toys to arrive...

Child's stuff. If you were serious about your gaming , you would flank your setup with two Marshall stacks. That way your neighbors could enjoy the obey tunes too!

[TheClash603]

I just spent more $$$ than I ever thought I would on a 7.1 setup in my living room for my PS4, XB1, and Wii U...  and I am pretty sure the stuff I have is 1/10 what you spent

Speakers look pretty badass.

Ive recently been tinkering with my game space. I had to start running a dehumidifier because of the heat in the north east. AC was on the fritz for a couple weeks. Luckily my spot is in the basement and well protected, but still. Good thing i dont collect cardboard!

Didn't you have a shitflood in your basement a while back?  I seem to remember you having water issues around the same time my basement filled with sewage.  I'd be terrified of keeping my precious obey in the basement after that ordeal.

Haha. We did have a minor issue, but it was nowhere near my gaming area. It was on other side of the house and stayed very contained.  It frightens me what you remember.

[munchiaz]

So ive been in my new place for about 2 months now. I'm basically done with my new setup, and wanted to share with you guys where i do my gaming.


This is the view right outside the doors to the game loft.


To the left off the doors sits my Dreamcast Kiosk. The video on the model dreamcast actually stopped working after the move, so i have to get that looked into


Then we have my classic setup with my Sony PVM 20M2MDU. Currently have RGB(pc duo-r,SNES,JVC X'eye,ps2,saturn) composite(Dreamcast, NES,GC)


To the right of the classic set up is my modern setup. I have a Asus VH236H, which has a Wii U, PS3, and PS4 connected to it.


Some games that are to the right of the modern setup



A bunch of my toys.


When i work from home, this is where i do it.


A semi full view of the room


The double doors to enter the game loft

And thats my game room guys. I hope you enjoy. If and when i get a better camera I'll upload some more detailed pictures.

[PukeSter]

Munchiaz, I see you got the Poang chair. Good choice

http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/S79825193/

I went to Ikea today and saw it. Very comfy.

[TheClash603]

Everyone's game rooms look so clean and well organized.

lukester, it is funny you mentioned that chair, because I was about to say the same thing.  If it is 1/2 as comfortable as it looks, it is the most comfortable chair of all time.

[esteban]

The best part? THE DAMN APPLE! I love that.

Amidst a sea of electronics, a lone apple sits. Waiting.

a few angles of my set up.  the duo, nes, genny w/ cd, and modded wii are always connected.
The others I connect as needed.

Nice! That's about the size of the room I my basement that I wanted to turn into a game room, but you have way more gaming stuff to fill it with than I do.  Good idea keeping the controllers in ziploc bags.

what are all the pictures behind the futon?

My guess is comics in frames or more possibly vinyl records?

[jtucci31]

I think my favorite part of your room is the skateboards and the rocking chair  Great looking room!

[bob]

I am actually standing half way down the room when I took the original pics.  It's 30 feet long and 11 wide.  Exactly half the footprint of my house (width wise).  The frames are records.  I tried to keep a sci-fi theme going, but I'm contstantly swapping them out when I find new ones.
The skateboards are a different story all together.  The black one actually has a very faint face on it, but it's hard to see in pics.

What's the framed deck? One of yours or signed pro deck possibly?

[TheClash603]

I need to grow my room to that dimension to make my stuff actually fit!

The framed deck is the tony hawk prototype i was telling you about.

Tell me more of thr lroto tony board. As I dont know and am interested.

[NecroPhile]

Heh, nice fish pillow. 

[roflmao]

wowsers... I'll be heading back down to your place as soon as possible.  That's pretty nuts.

[DeshDildo]

I've been meaning to make a post in this awesome thread for awhile so here it is.

Winter 2012 (this was to be my place of death when the world ended in December of that year)

[bob]

fuck.  quite impressive

[Medic_wheat]

fuck.  quite impressive

Yes but 50 more games would make it 20% cooler ....


Lol j/k

[roflmao]

Very nice! And don't fret, I have it on good word that the rapture is coming August 1. I hope it's not true but someone I know doesn't think I'll be taken up during the rapture here in a few days so there you go.

[Medic_wheat]

Wait...the pc engine cd add on works on a us TG-16?  Or was it modded to work on it?

I'd like to know maybe I can get a working pc cd add on and sell off my non working us cd add on (but keep the cd base) to make up part of the difference

[DeshDildo]

Good god man! I'd forgotten that you were the one with the franken-nesicom. Impressive collection, and you've made Darwin proud with your documentation of its evolution.

question:
when are you going to get around to putting neon underlights and a big wing on that TGCD setup, and why hasn't it been painted or (better yet) chromed? And you've STILL not embedded a turbo tap into the chassis...

Make it happen!

It's funny you mention this.  I already have parts for a planned project and the last piece I need is a tap I'm just holding out for a cheap one.

No mods are required.  As far as I know all standard stand alone PCE drives work with the U.S. dock.

P.S. I love broken stuff send me a PM if you ever want to get rid of that busted drive.

[munchiaz]

very nice setup desh.

[DeshDildo]

very nice setup desh.

Thank you!

Null, I think that sounds like a deal.

You could also get a working PCE one and just swap the insides so your US one is "working" again.

[majors]

Got a 2nd PCE Duo to replace my first while it's on the chopping block. A bit dusty, but I think this weekend I'll tidy up some.

[DeshDildo]

Why has this thread died?  Here is a little update.  I have reorganized all of the game shelves since offloading half of my NES collection and adding more NEC and Sega stuff.

[majors]

Moved stuff around, had to get that PVM on display.



I can wanted to get the games more exposure, since I rarely listen to my CD's, I swapped them. This also makes it easier to grab a game and play since there is no panel in front.
