I originally blogged this back in July, but I felt it was worth revisiting, because about 10 days after I posted the blog, I sold about half my DVD's, bought a PS3, and I've also have shit from Japan still laying around the house...
What better time than now to show my setup to you all?
First off, we have the consoles.
My room looks like "Doo-dad Palace" if such a place existed. I have like 8 video game controllers, a Blu Ray remote, Stereo remote, TV remote, Cable remote, bluetooth headset, XBL headset, wired headset, etc. And the cables. Oy.
So we start off simply with the core elements.
Consoles.
TV things. Stereo.
The TV itself. 60" HDTV. No 720p, only 1080i, so this is why I bitch about the PS3.
Facebones is good guy. eh isn't afraid of anything.
On top of my TV I have shit from Japan...
And more shit from Japan...
What's with all the sassy catgirls? Aren't there any demure ones left?
Mah Bluz
Now, some of you may be wondering... What's Blu Ray like? Is he a good guy? is eh afraid of anything?
Their early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercial and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far much more bitter, cynical sense of humour.
Does this look like it's worth the upgrade? I think so...
What else...
Oh, more shit from Japan.
Yes, they have Red Lobster in Japan.
And they also have robot fighting beetles.
Also, a bit of a backstory about this next picture. I grew up with a relatively normal, but scarred child hood. I received Megatron on my 7th Xmas as a big present. I had the gun, all the parts and everything on xmas morning. Then my sister got ahold of it and BROKE ALL THE ACCESSORIES! I didn't even get to have it ONE DAY and it was broken by her tyrannical nature of not letting me have nice things.
So, fast forward to now, Fenris called me up and asked me last June.
"Hey, you want an original Megatron? They're remaking originals down to the last minute detail."
Me: "Sure."
Oh, and all the accessories are there and are unbroken.
R.O.B. has issues with depth perception so he totally doesn't get Viewmaster 3D. Too bad.
And finally, I stopped by my dog's area to check (stalk) on him. He's eating. I took another 3,000 pictures of him eating, but they weren't as cute as this one was. AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!
The double food bowl thing... Actually one of them is full of Hank Petchow's Rat Poison, and luckily he knows the difference.
Do you have a flux capacitor to go with that Delorean? Also, I forgot about your dog, whooops...cute little bugger though.
DOGGY DIAPERS!!!!
HAHA nice tour. I have the same big dog bowl thingy, but for food. Not neccessary to say that but whatever. All these setup posts keep reminding me to take photos of mine, but i forget. Maybe tomorrow
Nice setup! Can't a brutha get a shot of your DVD collection, and perhaps a demure catgirl?
/jealous over Megatron
Nice to see your a Miyazaki fan, DVD Design. Love the figure from Laputa. Not a bad set up padawan..not bad at all.
Nice stuff especially the fighting bugs. Only thing is, add some pictures of the house. I'd like to see it in perspective.
And WTF is this?? I don't see myself on your friend's list>>>
Nice collection, DVD! Why do you have a can of coke on your shelf near your Blue-Rays? Is it special?
Too much Win in one room! Japanese stuff always rocks :(
I see dust!
SAY IT AIN'T SO!
It's a Japanese coke.
I have a mini-Asahi, a Japanese Coke, a Ice Cucumber Pepsi, a bottle of Bawls, Ramune, a 1984 25th year Dallas Cowboy's coke, and a Stanley Cup champions Coke for the Dallas Stars.
I don't have my DVD collection in there because it has severely diminished in size. It's mostly just DVD box sets and Universal movies that aren't on Blu Ray yet.
@Takeshi, it's an Apt, and the less seen, the better. I have another Japan blog hopefully going up later today to illustrate that point.
Your dog drinks better water than I do.
I love you Aaron, and your Japan fetish.
WHERE'S ROCK BAND!?
Seriously awesome.
Delorean, Chun Li, MST3K DVDs, and Megatron rerelease FTW! I am jealous! Those Megatron's are motherfuckers to get through customs, sometimes. How did you manage that one?
@dvddesign
Just curious man. I live in a 12m2 apt. People call me Takeshi Shoebox for a reason.
Soooo much blu!
@Takeshi
Ahh, okay.
It's about 800 sq. feet.
@Sharpless
I stuck him in my luggage. They scanned it and didn't even inspect it.
OTOH, I bought a realistic looking Airsoft handgun while in Japan, since that was clearly something that looked like a weapon, I had that mailed to me a month later.
Lucky break. Takara would make it much easier if they'd transform him to robot mode before packaging him up.
they have carpet in japan?
@pig
No.
have you tried to train your dog with pee pads?
that diaper looks so gay on the dog
Hey, I've got nearly the exact same paper lantern as you! Only difference is the kanji design on it, but everything else looks identical, including the metal holder.
Awesome! I have to get around to cleaning my room this weekend so I can submit a 360° view to Charlie Suh.
