Where most of the magic happens!
Added some cheap speakers (for music, youtube and the like), an xbox gamepad and a 2011 calendar, ofcourse! Moved my Turtlebeach X41s behind the monitor.
When I want to relive my childhood... nothing better then a good round on Mario kart 64! Also, my DS collection.
My Wii is currently residing up at my ski condo, I will post a picture of it later probably!

Thanks. And no offense taken.
Nothing really, as my friends aren't that normal either. =) Generally they find the things in my apartment cool or curious. Many seem to like to ride the wheelchair, and inspect the gynecologist's instruments. Some of them have been a bit spooked by the mannequin at first (as was I for the first couple of weeks, until I got used to her). One for example couldn't sleep on the hospital bed, until the mannequin was moved to a place where he couldn't see it.
Oh, I also got a human skull couple of months ago from a Facebook friend. =)

My first time posting in 2011. I moved out of mom's house, into my own apartment. Maybe next year it will be a house, who knows!
Here it is:
General Game Setup:
42" Vizio 1080p
Black Wii
XB360 w/60gb HD
Older Systems
Sony 5.1 is in my bedroom now, because the neighbors are assholes and complain too much!
Movies and Games:
Where I play most of my HD games and Gaf:

I think it's concept art from Deus Ex 3. You can find the high-res pictures in the thread Video Game Wallpapers thread under Deus Ex: Human Revolution: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=19106808&postcount=204

Man, some of you guys have great set ups. When I eventually buy a house, I'm going to make my dream gaming room. I've been saving up posters and whatnot for years. I can't wait. It's still ears away though but it'll be worth it.
Here's what I currently have,

Starting last March I started to move the majority of the stuff from my old home office into my new one. Here's what the old office looked like:
Yeah I know, it's a bit of a mess/dump, but I knew where everything was (I think)
So here's the new setup.
so here's about 2/3 of my playstation collection, my PS1 games are still in the old office.
All my PSP games.
PS2 Collection Part 1
PS2 Collection Part 2
PS2 Collection Part 3
Playstation 3 and the XBOX360 behind the HDTV
HDTV from the other side, with my Pioneer wireless surround sound amplifier.
PC monitor beside the HDTV
and of course my PC is beside that.
PS3 collection part 1
PS3 collection part 2
PS3 collection part 3
And the desk which I sit at also has 3 drawers and within them I have most of my Retro collection
My NES games and some SNES games.
Drawer 2 has my N64 collection and SNES games underneath them
Drawer 3 has just SNES games in it

The office/gaming haven for the wife and I. While I'm on tf2 or some other steam related gem she is typically on the laptop keyed in on either bejeweled or plants vs zombies.
And here is where the family Moves and Kinects :/ (sorry for the blurry pic quality)

Pretty plain but this is where I spend most of my time. That's a Dell monitor to the right I just got a few months ago. Those speakers came with my computer about 5 years ago and sound great. Came with a small sub-woofer.
Games and movies are at the bottom but it's kinda junky. Didn't want to show.

I finally finished upgrading/installing my setup for my new place (new as in 2 years since I moved in, but whatever). I still have some cable management to do (something of a nightmare considering I still have to use component+optical for my consoles so I can do some capture, plus the cables going to the capture pc and the network cables...), but otherwise I'm pretty much done.
My setup is basically a tv hanging off a white wall, and receiver/consoles/blu-ray and other stuff on a black metal shelf on the floor. I have a lot of white wall space on the left and right of the TV, and I was thinking about how I should decorate there. Since this is not a game room, but the main room of my place, I don't want it to be any nerdier than it is already, so gaming stuff is a big no no. I was thinking about movie posters like http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/8/81/ShawshankRedemptionMoviePoster.jpg or http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/f/f8/Empire_Of_The_Sun.jpg, but I'm open to go ideas since decorating isn't my thing at all.
Looks like this (crappy pic, just to show the place)

You're right on the money. They are meant to cut down on the first reflection point behind the speaker. Ideally I'd have a panel at every first reflection point, but I try to keep the look of the room in mind.
I actually built those panels myself, but I'll soon be buying some professionally made models and hanging them on the wall behind the main channels.

I've offered to upgrade her desk and chair plenty of times but she says it's a waste of money. I didn't take a pic of it (though a small piece shows up in bottom left of the pic) but I should have said there is a red chase in the room where she is usually curled up with the laptop or a good book in hand more than she is at the desk.

Updated a few things since last year...
Last year:

http://i36.tinypic.com/2cifyvq.jpg
Replaced my dinosaur laptop with a 16" Asus that can finally play some games. Yay!
Added a Kinect and the OnLive microconsole to the entertainment center (the OnLive console is the TINY box to the left of the 360)
Then we also finished the kitchen side of the basement and added some shutters that effectively block out the light, since the basement gets pretty bright. Not exactly gaming-related, other than the Heavy Rain framed print I put there as an accent.

Not much has changed since last year, except that my gaming PC (desktop on screen) just got upgraded to the new Core i7 2600k processor and dual-boot Windows 7/XP for gaming purposes.

Looks like my old set up. And still how it would probably look if my wife let me.
Must be nice having every game on pretty much any system right at your fingertips. If you did some wire management you could make that still look nice.Version 3.0

I spent 8 hours doing wire management. Every single wire there is tied to the frame in multiple places. There are just so many of them! The only way to tie them tighter would be to have access from the back; otherwise I need some slack to be able to plug and unplug them.

Fuck that's an awesome set-up !
--------
My set-up as of now. PS3 is hooked up to the monitor. GAF on the laptop on the right and a
digital strategy guide (if applicable, or a TV show or something while grinding some games)
on the monitor on the left. TV is used mostly for Wii/Cube/PS2 stuff. Still need to get rid of
all the damn wires haha. Also Ikea Detolf with some random shit in it.
Special Edition cabinet 1
Special Edition cabinet 2 which is loaded to the brim with games and years of EDGE magazines....

Wii, PS3, 360, 37" Dynex LCD. It's actually not that bad. The TV is actually level IRL, the picture just made it look like it was slanted.
DSi and Minecraft box, I mean laptop
I had to pack away my SNES
as well as my GC and Dreamcast. Other stuff was already packed away. Also put all of my non-DS handheld stuff away, except for a GBASP+ along with the 3 GB/GBC Zelda games.
The reason I had to pack all that away:
He was obsessed with my SNES and games, constantly pulling both of them off of shelves and playing with the SNES carts. I was so proud :sniff:
