Your Game Room

[Jason Tandro]

Mine is more in the line of a Gaming Command Center as this is all at the foot of my and my wife's shared bed. (We sleep with just a mattress on the floor like heathens.)

BIG TV:
Wii (which I also use for my gamecube games), PS4, and a spare HDMI which I use to plug my PC into and when I find my 360s power cord, that.

SMALL TV:
PS2 - because playing Silent Hill 2 with headphones in and close to the screen = terrifying.
PSP - using the small adapter cord I have.


While I am proud of this, I am sure it is a rather pedestrian hookup compared to what some of you all have. Let's see it!

^ Impressive.

My game room is anywhere I want it to be because I mostly only play my old portable PS1. I also have an emulator on my PSP that lets me play PS1 and SNES games.

I do have a collection of systems but they're scattered all over the place: NES/Famicom, SNES, Atari 2600, Cabecube, Sega CD, N64, Genesis, Neo-Geo, Sega Saturn, PS1, PS1 Portable, PS2, PS3 (x2), PS4 (x2), Xbox, Xbox 360, A few different versions of the PSP, PSP Vita, A few rough-around-the-edges Game Boys, Nintendo DS, Nintendo 3DS, Wii.....I think that's all of them. We also have a thing (sitting in front of me right now) that I've got no clue about; it's called "Panasonic R.E.A.L 3DO Multiplayer FZ-1". SO and I have been working on this collection for about 10 years and most of our finds have been on craigslist. We've found plenty of games and Game Boys at swap meets. This is mostly his undertaking but we've both invested, well...lots of money on it. It's been years since the last time we bought a classic system though, I think we're done collecting...I think.

My most sorely missed system is the Nintendo Toploader...the original one that I had as a child was lost during one of umpteem million moves. We've yet to make the leap and purchase a new one.

^Both impressive! Though Jason, having tv's at the foot of your bed is bad feng shui.


We used to have an actual game room, but it's been turned into a spare bedroom/massage room/whatever currently. We also used to have the original Nintendo system but got rid of it due to never ever playing it. My dad also had an Atari Lynx (oh, Rygar....) we used to play years ago, but it was veeery touchy and I think he got rid of that too.

Anyway, in my bedroom's entertainment center, I have the 'oldies' set up.There's the SNES, the Nintendo 64, Gamecube, Atari Jaguar, and PS2. I also have a 3DS (I had an original DS but I gave it to my sis once I got the 3DS) and a PSP. They're all in great condition. I play these systems on my old tv that used to be my parents. I'm saving up for a flat screen tv.
In my parent's room, we have the Wii and the PS3 set up. My dad also has a 3DO system.

It was kind of a tradition for us to get the new Nintendo system for Christmas whenever a new one would come out, but it ended with the Wii so far because we ended up getting a PS3 and, well, limited funds and all that. By the time I get a Wii U it should be much cheaper.

But it is very good Game Shui. You see my conflict...


Sounds cool what you did with the other room. Probably more of an "adult" thing than me lol

 

[tangerine]

I have a 65" HDTV currently set up with a PS4, PS3 and PSTV, which I use to play Vita and PSP games on a huge effing screen. I also own an Alienware laptop which I use to emulate all sorts of games, and I just plug that ol' sunovabitch into my TV and have loads of fun. I was using my 3DS just recently to get some Pokemon time in but alas, I have moved on to greener pastures. I also own a Wii U, a modded Wii and a PS2, but they're just gathering dust for now.

I have a main 42" Hitachi smart TV whenever I just want to play games or watch TV. I'll also be on with a gaming chair and Razer headset whenever I'm playing online when not recording. When recording, I'll jump to my gaming corner, which is compromised of a Samsung 24" monitor, Samsung 24" LED TV, wireless keyboard and mouse, the PC and the computer chair, of course.

My gaming consoles are a PS3, PS4, PS Vita, 3DS and DS. I more or less use the former two rather than the others. The computer desk is a little short in depth, so will be getting a new one in the next month or two.

I'll post some pictures soon.

 

[Remnant-of-VII]

I'm currently running five consoles (ps3, ps4, 360, xbox one, and, wii) along with my gaming desktop (which I'd dubbed "The Monolith") thru a seven or eight year old 32" Sony Bravia flat screen.

If my room wasn't cluttered ATM, I'd post some pics of the set-up. I just cba'd to spend an hour to de clutter around the tv right now. Because. Reasons.

 

[Cthulhu]

I've got a PC which apparently is four years old already, but its graphics card is still beefy enough to be able to run modern PC games at high quality / frame rates, so eh. Might need an upgrade if Star Citizen ever comes out, but IDK, that also depends on whether it's a good game. Bar that, I won't have to upgrade for a while yet - and once games catch up, I can lower graphics settings, . anyway, I have that hooked up to a 24 inch Dell monitor (the mid-end stuff, so decent colors and whatnot), and my old 19 inch one (which borked a few years ago, but that was due to a bum condensor which was built to break down within 5 years after purchase - my dad sorted that out, no problems now). Besides that I have a PS3 on a 40 inch tv, nothing particularly fancy.

Maybe I'll eventually get myself a projector and game room or something, but I'll have to move first, then be arsed. TBF ATM I'm not too bothered about PS3 (or PS4) games, so IDK.

Spoiler: Flexible desktop setup lol

When I'm not using the desktop with the screen and keyboard/mouse, I just put the screen on top of the cabinet. I use the desktop with my TV as well (left in picture, 55'') so if I'm not streaming I'll just play/emulate games on the desktop using the TV as a monitor. I'm happy with this arrangement.

(PS2/3 sits beneath the TV.)

 

[Lex]

I'm actually in the middle of completely rearranging mine, so I'll take pics when that's done

 

[Kionae]

So first up... the bedroom. 32" 720p television, Roku, DVD player, FC-Twin (that's a top-loader SNES/NES combo unit), and mini-Sega Genesis that does original carts but also has something like 20 classic games built right into it.

Spoiler: Bedroom setup

Living room: 40" 1080p television, Gamecube, Xbox 360, PS4, and Ouya. There's also a DVD player and a Roku in there, but the pic came out kind of dark so they're a little hard to see.

Spoiler: Living room setup

The actual game room: ... Yeah. Just look at the pics.

Spoiler: Dear god, what have I done...?

27" 720p television, PS2, Gamecube, Dreamcast, Xbox, Atari Flashback, NES, SNES, N64, Sega Genesis, and Virtual Boy.

The tower of portables. Also, the bottom cabinet has a bunch of controllers/accessories and games inside.

Inside the top cabinet. Sega GameGear, PSP (in the Intec case on the bottom), GameBoy, Gameboy Color, Gameboy Advance, Gameboy Advance SP, DS Lite (in the silver case on the top shelf), Gameboy Printer and Camera... and for some reason, a sealed copy of Pokemon Blue.

Various gaming and anime plushies... Yay!

PS2/Gamecube/PSP/Sega/DS Games and misc. collectibles.

Moar gamez!!! And a unicorn.

So many action figures... also, Weird Al stuffs.

The Mario closet dors and other artwork.

Even the poor ceiling fan didn't escape being decorated...

So, yeah... that's my game room(s). I also have another Gamecube and a PS2 Slim hooked up in another room, but I forgot to take pics of it before I left for work this morning.

Blah

Oh....my....goddess......
I can only hope to one day attain your level of nerdiness.

 

[Jason Tandro]

Desha... will you adopt me?

 

[Kionae]

Desha... will you adopt me?

I suppose... But you'll have to bunk with the cats.

 

[RedFFWolf]

Good God, this is...intimidating. Everyone has a really impressive setup!

I have to take my (22") TV off my desk if I want to use my laptop, and vice versa
Any console that comes into my room is substituted for another one, (where they return to the main house to be chewed upon by the siblings)

BUT I did get a decent speaker system for free a month ago after my uncle was getting a new one and gave me the old one! I have even less space but the sound is great


(Also, seeing the Guitar Hero controllers in Kionae's room has told me that tomorrow I must reinvigorate my inner Rock God and have a go at my custom/hacked GH game)

 

[Jason Tandro]

Desha... will you adopt me?

I suppose... But you'll have to bunk with the cats.

So what you're saying is I can go to heaven but I have to be fine being surrounded by pussy?

Yes, but this pussy may eat you, rather than the other way around...

 

[trash panda]

Sweet jaysus...I keep coming back to look at Kionae's post. 8|

Kionae, are these the FFVII figures that you have on your wall? I've been eyeballing them but probably won't budge for a while. D:

 

[Kionae]

No, they're the Advent Children Play Arts figures. And the smaller ones (both on the shelves and in the case on the opposite wall) I've got are the same style/pose as the Extra Knight figures, but miniature versions. They're only about 3 inches tall. I don't know who made them or even if they're officially licensed... I bought them as a set on eBay years ago.
