Title: updated game room pics
Post by: techwizard on January 02, 2013, 03:10:08 AM
i cleaned my game room and decided it was time to update my collection profile pictures. the old ones were over a year old at least. i wanted to have them show the room in a clockwise order, but i couldn't figure out how to sort the pics if that's even possible...so they're shuffled, but still look good.

edit: the display case is empty because i'm washing the cloth that the games sat on, there will be N64 stuff in there once it's back.

Very Nice.  I love all the N64 Boxed games.  Looks cool.  I can't ever find CIB N64 games around here unless they are sports and wrestling.

That looks very awesome Techwizard.  I also love the look of all the CIB N64 games arranged on the shelf.

Those N64 boxes look great!  Where did you get the Killzone poster?

i think the killzone poster was just from walmart actually, it was a long time ago though so i could be wrong.

You've inspired me to update my pics. Nothing fancy.

a really big chunk of them came from a video store that was selling out all their n64 stuff (a lot CIB) for only a few dollars each. condition was really bad on quite a few, but enough were good that it was worth it. i think i bought at least 30 from that alone. otherwise i've been fairly lucky about finding local CIB n64 stuff, i've picked up some here and there. a lot of them were online though, especially as i had less and less of the popular ones to get.

I'll chime in on how awesome those boxed N64 games look too! Nice and tidy, very organized, I like it. Also jealous of that sweet Neo Geo Cab :D

Nice set up and use of space. What's your favorite N64 game?

toss up between ocarina of time and super mario 64. close second would be jet force gemini...or maybe majora's mask.

going to need new game room pictures soon...i finally decided to build my own custom shelves for the game room. they're pretty basic but they're sturdy and the perfect height for all but my big box games. i'm building 3 separate 3' wide by 6' 7" or so high units, i finished 1 so far and will do the other 2 on wednesday. not sure if i'll ever paint or stain them, but they don't look too bad as is so i may leave it. just need to sand some edges a bit.

finished shelf #2 of 3 today. don't have the energy to do the third one right now, i'll do that on friday. the second one is a bit slanted because one of the side boards were warped. but somehow the shelves are all pretty near level...not sure how that happened, as they weren't attached at odd angles to the sides. either way it's standing on it's own right now without any sign of falling, the shelves still feel sturdy, and i'll be screwing it directly into the wall studs like the first one. i figure i'll get someone to pull the slanted side straight while i screw it in, that should keep the whole thing straight for good.

Wicked! That looks great. So neat and organized. I can't wait for the weather to warm up so I can build a book case.

Is that Neo Geo cab converted from a Midway cab?  I've never seen one like that before.  It could be because I love the Midway style cabinets, but I think I might like that better than the normal version.

ya actually it was a midway cab, and on the inside there are a bunch of labels for galaxian. all the components are neo geo as far as i know though.

Looks awesome!

I like the Paper Mario just poking out there. Also like how you've basically hidden Final Fantasy X-2 because it wasn't able to come out of FF X's shadow. ;)

i haven't played the PS2 final fantasy's but i figured that's the popular opinion about which ones are best. XII is behind X too on the left.

Room looks sick! The N64 stuff, like everyone else said, is killing it!

FFX is badass. I still haven't played X-2. Bought it when it came out o_O

You'll have another chance to play it later this yet when the HD re master comes out.

^ Exactly, I've been wanting to replay X but I'm waiting on the HD!
