cfb's Game Room

[CatchFiveBats]

Will update this as I'm able to dig things out and lay them out all pretty-like; I've got lots of things hidden away in corners and boxes since I have to keep everything in one room. Way too much stuff and not enough space.
And apologies for all the clutter, I really need to do some tidying up but who knows when I'll get around to that...

System/TV Shelves:

Game Shelves:

And since I can't resist posting it, some of my...other collection...

You dig that Velveeta, eh?

those posters explains your avatar ...... nice game room.

hahahaha...actually, I've found that Velveeta boxes are perfect for holding Game Boy games. I keep tons of them around to be prepared as my GB collection (hopefully ) expands.

It's a dandy collection. I would suggest three things:

- Get some twist ties or cable ties to tidy up the cordage.

- Get some more Gamecube representation in there - you look solid on all other fronts.

- Get some better beer if displaying cans is your thing.

Thanks muchly.

- Used to have stuff tied up all nicely but did kind of a rush job putting my room back together when I moved back in (long story...). Much like tidying up, it's something I need to do but am not sure when I'll get around to it.

- Definitely weak in that department. Used to have a ton of Gamecube games but I had a bunch of things stolen in the process of moving a couple years ago. That's the only system I haven't really started working toward rebuilding.

- I knew somebody would mention that. I actually have better beers up there, but the smaller containers go in front and that ends up being the canned crap stuff. One of everything I drink goes on that shelf, so that's why they're even there. Probably shouldn't bother to display the cheap stuff, but whatever.

Ouch, that's got to hurt. I've never had more than a couple games stolen from me at once. To lose most of a collection like that - yikes. Good luck building it back up.

Thanks, luckily at this point I've recovered and a bit more. I had just moved into a new place...first night there I noticed some things missing, then upon closer observation discovered that about 1/3 of my games (and many other things - books, DVDs, CCG decks I'd built, etc...) were gone. That was a while ago, so I've moved on, but I was traumatized at the time and ended up moving back in with my parents. Just didn't feel safe living in a place where I knew something like that had happened.

But that's not what this thread is about, and I'm not here to tell sob stories haha
Plain and simple...now I've got over double the games I had before all that stuff was stolen and all is well

In the bottom left of the picture showing your stacks, I see an NES controller with lime green buttons? What's the story behind that?

One of the other stores sent a copy to the store I work at randomly. I guess they were just different-colored buttons you could replace the originals with. You can't see it in the picture, but it's got an orange d-pad too. They're shaped differently than the originals too, by just a little. Personally I think it ends up a bit worse because of it, actually...but still kind of interesting regardless.
