So yesterday I hopped on the "Show where you game" Bandwagon here in the c-blogs. Hamza and a few others expected a few more pics so I figured, WTF, I'll post another blog the next day. Hey, Yoj1mb0 can do a two part post, than so can I. Although his will probably be better.....
Anyway, instead of me putting a link in here or making you go back and find the blog, here's the only pic I posted yesterday:
Now, I didn't go and take pictures of the entire room or anything. No, that's not that interesting anyway. It's just a fireplace with pictures above it and all, and an end table near the couch. It's pretty basic. That, and it's filled with toys because we still haven't gotten rid of a lot of the stuff the kids no longer use. It's overflowing right now.
Here is a pic of how the A/V set-up looked today (the above pic is like 3 months old):
The Wii is currently hooked up in my basement to a 10 year old Sony 50 inch SDTV. It's a rear projection type. That's also where where the
Rock Band and
Guitar Hero peripherals are located. I'm too lazy to take pics of that, so perhaps another time. I took the PS3 to a friends house last night, so that's just in a duffel bag in another room right now. Anyways, you'll see my obsolete Sony MiniDisc player where the PS3 formerly was. Tonight that will be back behind the whole rig, sitting on the Yamaha Subwoofer. The rest of the speakers are basic shit, nothing special. And I mistakenly typed that I owned a 350 + 1 CD changer, but what I meant was a 150 + 1 disc changer. It has no door and no more CDs, because the kids are animals. Under the 360 and the VCR is the DVD-RW, again made by Sony. The CD Changer is underneath that. There's also an Equalizer on top of the Sony Reciever. It makes non-5.1 things sound better, especially when used in conjunction with Dolby Pro Logic 2. It's good the Wii and regular TV. And it was free, like many of the things I own.
Now, to the games:
Those aren't
all my games (I'll explain shortly), but just in case you can't see, here's a few close ups of the games:
As you can see, these are all Xbox 360 titles. A few are missing, notably
Call of Duty 4,
The Orange Box, and
Mass Effect. CoD4 and Mass Effect are being loaned out to my brother and friend respectively, and I'm not sure where The Orange Box is right now. I'm sure it's somewhere.
These are the Playstation games.
Oblivion and the expansion are my wife's, I hate that game. As you can see, I don't have much.
Heavenly Sword is down in storage in the basement, along with a few others from different systems. I won't play it anytime soon so why bother keeping it around my already cramped living room? And as for the lack of the original
God of War or any other PS2 titles, well, those were all stolen back when I still lived with my older brother. Drugs are bad.
These are most of my Wii games.
Super Mario Galaxy is being lent out to my cousin, but I think this is it otherwise. I could be missing some shit Wii game I probably bought and hated, but who knows? There you have it.
And here we have my DS and PSP. I had the silver PSP (Daxter bundle), but I traded that shit in because I really would rather have Darth Vader on it then nothing at all. I like it in white. I haven't touched the DS in ages, and most of the games are down in the basement. FF Revenant Wings is there because I still haven't played it. As for the PSP, all I've got is FF Tactics and God of War, and the latter was just lent out last night. It's a short game. But hey, I just recently found my copy of Mario Paint!!!! See it there, in all it's no-mouse glory? I wish I could play it.
And that's pretty much it. I've still got my SNES and copies of Zelda, Super Metroid, and Super Mario World, but again, they're all down in the basement nestled safely.....somewhere. As for why these games aren't nicely arranged in some sort of shelf or something? Well, the kids would destroy them. So I keep all the ones I
might play upstairs, neatly stacked with all the controllers and shit, in a big filing cabinet drawer.
I've got 2 PS3 controllers, 3 Xbox 360 controllers, 4 Wii Remotes, and FUCKING 2 Wii Zappers. What a waste of fucking money those peripherals were.
Well, that's it. That's my boring collection. What do you think?
Woah. That went from a tiny fit to a "holy shit, I hope nothing explodes from overheating" fit.
Yes, and like I said, the MiniDisc is usually sitting on top of the Subwoofer. I've got some reorganization to get down to.
cool collection, but i think u should have showed more games
SONY FANBOY!!! All those devices... :) Looks nice. I like that minidisc player. I wish I had one.
White handhelds for Whiteboy!
Hey you smoke? Not in front of the kids! Also do you have a cat? Down right of the 'flash' on your screen. It looks like a cat paw print to me.
@ Takeshi: Yes, I've got a cat. Two, in fact. And one pyschotic dog. We just got him like 6 months ago.
And yes, I smoke, and no, not in front of the kids unless we're outside. I'm only human.
As for the Sony stuff, I just like them. I think they make nice looking stuff, and the name implies that it will at least work well. They make good stuff. Not the best, but consistent for the most part.
@ Heretic: I've already been ringed. It happened in the summer. Maybe I should do something before it starts getting hot out again......

I don't know if I've got kids. I cannot see through the smoke.
Wow, I've just realized that Takeshi has damn good eyes. Or he is just really attentive or something. How the fuck did you notice that cat paw print? I couldn't even find what you were talking about until just now. Wow. You really notice the small details.
I'm used to small things.
...
...
FUCK
mmm dangly parts.
Minidisc? Damn....
Does anybody still use MiniDisc? I've heard that it's still widely used in the music industry, but it's useless for me. I could theoretically use it to steal music off the radio or when I borrow a CD from someone, but my portable MiniDisc player broke last year and I'm certainly not getting a new one.
I loved the format when it was new.
Yes, it is still used in the industry. Radio DJ's use them for jingles instead of the unreliable jingle cart-players. You'll them in Theaters as well. Easy to record stuff, small, reliable. Nice device. Shame it didn't make it.
Dude..you need more S P A C E for your stuff to go in on. The more I look at it the more I'm surprised your set up hasn't blown up due to lack of ventilation..lol.
Also, no Crackdown for the 360?? Tsk tsk..for shame.
:)
@ Yojimbo: Nah, no Crackdown for me. At the time of it's release my gaming time was at an all time low, so I missed out. I'm too busy with other games at this point to bother with it.
With the 360 turned like that, it must be a huge pain to put discs in the tray.
Are those all of your games?
Needs...moar...gamezzzz....
The temperature in that living room must hover around 80°F, even in the dead of the New Jersey winter. Still, you have a nice collection of games!
Nice collection but one question...WHY WHITE? I never understood why people bought white stuff cause it gets dirty easily!
Actually, that's not true. Piano black is worse.
