yes, yes it is the worst comic possibly ever. Grabbed it for 2 bucks or somethin though.

This is my bedroom / games room.
I play current gen consoles downstairs on another TV.

Keep most of my games on a BILLY bookcase. =]




Over-door shoe holder, inspired by you guys. =P


Shelf above for a few games, and the HDTV hooked up to Dreamcast (VGA), PS2 (Component), GameCube, DVD Player and Set Top Box (RGB). The Sammy is on a cantilever mount so I can point it towards my computer, or my bed. Whatever suits.


TV's above one another =D


CRT TV is hooked up to Megadrive, SNES and Saturn through an RGB switch.




Incidentally, anyone here with a PAL N64 had much luck choosing the best image format for it? I got an S-Video cable but it looks awful on every TV I've tried it with, so had to stick with composite. Obviously I know that RGB can't work on a PAL machine even if you try to hard mod it.

Here's my main gaming setup. The TV is an 18" SD set, and all the systems except the Gamecube, PS2 and N64 are hooked up with RF. I'm thinking about ordering a VGA box for the DC, as it's one of my favorite machines and 480p looks niiice.

Not pictured are some racks of PS2 and Gamecube games, a 32" Sony WEGA 1080i TV, a Wii, a closet filled with games for the various machines, a shelf containing many DS titles, and the underside of my bed (which houses boxes for many of the systems as well as an Atari 2600 and 5200, both in their original boxes).

I have pretty steady collections for most of the systems (especially on the 64 and GC), but my SNES and Saturn collections in particular are abysmal. My grandma owns many of the best SNES games, so I just borrow them from her, but my Saturn collection is a bloody shame:

Nights
Virtua Fighter 2
Panzer Dragoon
Sonic Jam

Ok so I just moved and it's not all organized very well yet, but here's what I live in now. Not bad for $400 a month. 13'x14' with internet and cable.

Here I was about to start a bitch-thread about "why can't people take a decent game room picture?" and Moz comes and shuts me up pre-emptively. BTW, Diet Rite? I haven't seen that in years~ Must be an East coast thing.

Seriously though, what's up with almost everyone here not being able to take a decent picture? Is exposure and focus such a radical concept?

Are you saying my room is good or bad? Or is it my picture quality? I'm confused. Anyway, I don't have personality, so neither do my rooms. I don't decorate in any way, and I don't make a gaming shrine. I keep all my shit put away and out of sight.

And yeah most of the Diet Rite flavors are good. Generally, diet pops taste inferior to their original cousins, but these guys must do something different. Maybe they simply lie about the ingredients.

So this is where the beast dwells.

that works man. what i'd do next is try to find some cool shelving and you can ditch the tupper ware! Where do you store your actual games right now? Also.....diet rite=personality

Your room looks good and it is a good set-up. Your picture quality made me step back and say, "Hey, some people can actually take a good picture." I'm always curious to see what titles people have in their collections and when their pictures are completely out of focus so it pretty much defeats the purpose of the game pics IMO.

And other than Diet Rite, Diet 7-up is the only other one I thought was good.

I don't see an arcade stick in that picture, Mozgus. What's up with that?

I hate arcade sticks. Deal with it.

I won't replace the tupperware drawers until they crumple up and become useless. I dont give a shit about style. All I need is function.

No. Diet Rite = $2.66 for a 12 pack.

Where are my retail games? In some end table drawers. I think I've shown them on here before. Here's the dreamcast set for example:

It's a little outdated. I've added a few games since. And of course I have cd booklets out the ass, stuffed with all sorts of backups. Here's a 1/2 portion of them:
