I've been meaning to do this blog for a while. Ever since I moved into my new apartment last summer. But each time, something new was coming out that I knew I'd have have to get. In November it was the Prestige Edition of Modern Warfare Two. In February it was the purchase of a Wii. More recently it was the Giant FFXIII poster that hung in the window of my local game store and the Commander Shepherd cutout. But I could wait no longer. I finally had to make this blog, primarily cause my place is clean and who knows when that will ever happen again.

So without further ado, my setup.



Rocking a 50" HD Rear Projection Hitachi I got off a friend for 200 dollars and copy of Wii Sports Resort. It only goes up to 720P, but I don't mind at all, the thing kicks ass.



I've picked up a number of posters and such over the last couple of years. The MotorStorm thing is actually a bandanna, the Dragon Age real inflatable sword, my PAX East badge signed by Tycho and the Tank which was part of a Battlefield Bad Company 2 promotion, as well as my Vault Boy Bobblehead.



Here you get to see my cheap bookshelves and such. Most of this stuff I will go discuss later. Though the Niko license plate from GTA4 is here because I'm afraid of it getting stolen from my car for being so awesome.



My Resistance Standee was really the first piece of this whole collection. The FFXIII poster, regardless of my thoughts on the actual game (I liked it, but it is not my favorite by far), is one of my favorite things in the room. That Nintendo Poster is actually from the box of my original Nintendo bought in 1989. So I guess that was my REAL first piece.



The Entrance to my tiny kitchen. In case you didn't realize, I love Mass Effect. It is one of my favorite games of all time.



There is the game collection, at least the 360 and PS3 (plus Blu Ray and PSX games)



The Consoles. There you will meet (and I am such a nerd) Teddy from Persona 4, the Blue Knight from Castle Crashers, K.K. Slider from Animal Crossing and Kiba, from the anime Wolf''s Rain. Oh and a 60 gig PSTriple, a Wii, a 360 and my Ace Combat 6 Flight Stick for my 360. There is no better way to play that game.



Ahh yes, my horrendous, yet strangely comfortable couches that were granted to me by my old roommate. Thanks to him I had more cash for games, cause I didnt have to spend it on furnature!



I love my companion cube. Also, NVG from MW2 (they are actually a lot of fun and work too), my Kisuke Urahara hat and a buzzer from MadWorld that makes an impossibly annoying chainsaw noise when pressed.



Finally, the pinnacle of my collection, or at least the thing I love the most , because it is the most personal. At PAX, the lead artist for Shank was doing promotional drawings of his character. My friend had the bright idea to get him to draw Shank killing him. I stole the idea and he ran with it. So that is Shank killing me. It doesn't hurt that the game was also a lot of fun. But yeah, best piece of schwag ever? I consider it so!



A final picture to pull it all together! And there you have it! My gaming setup! Hope you guys and gals like it!
