Show us your gaming setup: 2012 Edition

Epic, epic, epic. Bravo, sir! One day, when I own a house...
 
Apologies in advance if this post is gonna be absurdly long. I can shorten it if needed. Please for the love of God don't quote the entire thing.

My current set-up. Some things have changed, most noticably the retro-corner, which is something I've been wanting to do for a long time. Lack of space is definitely an issue, so it's a bit cramped, but the upside is it's damn cosy being surrounded by nostalgia.

I've also very recently gotten a new TV (Samsung 46ES8000 for those interested) which is a real step up from my last one. The game on the screen at the moment is Anna btw, a pretty decent little first-person horror adventure that was just released.

The next thing I'm gonna be changing is some furniture, specifically the little table with the Link on Epona statue, those 2 Ikea looking square things and the white one with all the figures on top. Those need to be classed up.

I love it. The Pikmin & vines are my favorite part. Perfect lighting in the room too. Not too bright, not too dark.
 
Hey glad I could help! They're honestly the best basshead headphones I've listened too, and you got a good deal for 50 man :) And since the XL2420t is an upgrade of the 2410t, which I love, you definately won't be disappointed with your purchase. And though I don't use mine for 3D, the one your getting is supposed to be alot brighter with its lightboost if you plan on using the 3D feature.

Thanks for the support man!

No problem!

Just a heads up, you might want to abide by thread rules or you probably won't be around for that long. Rules are rules ya know.

And use complete spelling when posting, I don't think abbreviating words like 'You' to 'U' is allowed either.

Hmmm. Well looking at the thread rules...


Oh wait there is none. Not in this OP, and not in any of the previous 6 years thread.

Also, how each spells and writes on the internet is to their own liking. All professors specify not to start sentences with conjunctions but that didn't prevent you from doing it.

Jesus Christ, I'm probably half your age older and I have nowhere near a setup like that. I don't even have my own place. :/

Fuck me, I need to step my shit up.
Seriously. I'm fucking depressed :(

Wait, so you have 2 floors of a house all to yourself paid for by allowance? From your parents?

I wish my parents still paid for my stuff :(
I know man. More power to you though Tobe1. Hey, if you can live in a crib like that it's all good. :)

Not the thread rules, but the forum rules in general. That long document you agreed to before signing up? Yeah, that.

AND, I don't know how long it's been since you've taken an English/grammar class, but today using conjunctions at the beginning of a sentence is deemed grammatically acceptable.

So chill out, I wasn't trying to be an asshole, just letting you know before the mods do.
Seriously. I'm fucking depressed :(

Hahaha I don't blame you

Take in account that here you live really fucking good with an average salary of 30k post tax. And well I still live with the folks but hey I wouldn't move out for shit. Got own bathroom too. Can bring chicks in without problems and have a maid. (in house maid for a months runs around at 250 usd) if you don't have any problems with having sort of crappy Internet Lima is a pretty great city to live.
 
Wasn't there a thread about posting your actual entire house or something? I remember there being a thread similar to that, anyone got a link to it?
 
Nice. You got the Dirt Devil and Tefal TV stand! I'm so jelly. D=

I'm not making fun I'm just try'n to get an "lol" out of ya. =P

EDIT: Oops. Could of sworn I was editing my post. =l

They're holding steady :p

I really need to get round to buying a proper TV stand though >.<
 
does anyone know the measurements of those Zelda posters from Club nintendo? I want to get frames.

edit: maybe I should post this in the CN thread...

A Google search tells me they're 16 5/8" x 28 3/4", which sounds about right, as I had to trim some of the sides of the poster off to fit the History of Link poster into a standard frame.
 
I've always been interested in the evolution of peoples setups throughout the years so I've made a quick collage pic of the changes in mine from 2008-2012, technology really does advance fast ;)

Damn, it's crazy seeing how recently people still had CRT monitors. How could you keep the same wallpaper for a year now?
 
Took a couple quick pics for another forum, and figured I'd post them here, too. Not a whole lot has changed. Still have all the last-gen and older stuff in storage right now. Looking to possibly replace the iMac with a Retina MacBook Pro if the 13" ever materializes. And lastly, I'd love to switch the TV with a 3D model; but it's not in the cards right now.
