My Gaming Setup
JoeCamNet | 1:53 AM on 11.10.2008 29 comments


I see everybody putting up pictures of their gaming collection, so I figured it was time to upload my setup to see what people think. Apologies in advance for picture quality in some pics. This is all done on my cell phone camera.
Enjoy the pics!


This is a wide view of most of my setup. 46" Vizio LCD on the left, racks upon racks of games and swag in the middle, computer on the right. Not pictured: My empty wallet.


Main DVD Rack. Upper two shelves are Blu-Ray and HD-DVDs. Next two shelves are family and comedy DVDs. 2nd shelf from bottom is nothing but wrestling DVDs. Bottom is action/horror/drama. On top of the shelf is a multitude of gaming goodies.


Some of the goodies include: Nintendo Monopoly, GTA IV License Plate, Big Daddy, Pip Boy Bobblehead, No More Heroes OST, Mario Galaxy Coin, RE4 Limited Edition for Cube, Zelda Art Cel and Wii Dog Tags. Also a good number of character figures including Simon Belmont, Blue Slime, Psyduck, Sonic and a Bob-omb among others, not to mention my beloved copy of MOTHER 3. The Okami poster is one of the replacement inserts.


Left Rack: PS3 games, PSP games, Genesis games, NES games.
Middle Rack: Dreamcast games, tons of TV Show DVDs (Including the complete M*A*S*H set on top), SNES games on the very bottom.
Right Rack: Hooked up game systems. Xbox360 (with HD-DVD Drive), Wii, Dreamcast (Black), PSX, Genesis, SNES on the very bottom.
Of note, that poster on the left is the Rejected Mega Man Villains poster from Dueling Analogs


On the left, PSX and DS games, middle are all GameCube, on the right are GBA games and my wife's DS games.
Some items of note are the blue-green GameCube, which is a nifty developers system, my Ghaleon Punching Puppet and on yeah, my Gears 2 Lancer on the right, which is fucking AWESOME.


Here's a better pic of the Lancer. Gears 2 game included in pic to show how big that Lancer really is.


Here's a head on shot (from my couch) of my setup. I probably should've left the TV off, as it doesn't really show how good the picture is (thanks Verizon camera phone), but the TV itself is great. TV is on my 360 Dashboard (Gamertag: Joe Cammisa)
Systems on left, PS3 and Xbox (along with surround sound receiver and Cable box) beneath the TV. On the right is my main game rack with PS2, Wii and 360 games and more goodies on top.
Some PS2 gaming gems include AR Tonelico complete with Art Book, Digital Devil Saga 1 & 2 Complete Box Set, Persona 3 Sealed Collector's Edition and Resident Evil 4 Australian Import.
More of my nice finds can be found in earlier blog entries regarding Goozex.


Some fun items are the Companion Cube Pushie, Fallout 3 Lunchbox, Samba de Amigo Maracas for Dreamcast, GTV IV Collector's Edition, Final Fantasy XI Clock, Soul Calibur IV Collector's Edition tin, a promo insert for Deadliest Catch for 360 signed by Sig and my very special Torchic Orange GBA SP (in between Scene It and the FFXI Clock) Also, the second Okami replacement insert and a smoke detector (FIRE SAFETY! WOO!)


Better pic of the PS3 and Xbox along with my drawer o crap. Both Halo 3 controllers for 360 are in there with other various cords and controllers.


Yeah boy.


This is my cat. He fell asleep on my desk. I fucked with him.

Finally, just to show a little bit more of my nerd cred, this is the Groom's Cake from my wedding.

It was delicious and moist.
To make things even better, to get a piece of cake, you had to dance with the bride. The song? Tetris Theme A as performed by The OneUps. No...it wasn't a recording. It was performed by The OneUps who performed all of the wedding reception music. Even Dtoid's own Dale North was there as he played keyboards on the bride and groom's first dance. That song? The Legendary Theme from Gitaroo Man.

I AM NERD
HEAR ME WHINE!

@LINUXGUY:

Rare enough that I haven't been able to find one in any brick and mortar stores. I would say BUY it. If you like collecting video game stuff (and if your on Dtoid, why wouldn't you?) I think that you will regret not buying it 10 years from now, when it will be even harder to find.

I hate when people are this awesome. It means less awesomeness to go around.

yeah impressive collection, but you should stop buying games and dvd for a little while and invest in a good sound system cause right now you got a bunch of little satellites randomly place in the room ;)

It just doesn't make justice to the whole collection

Finally nice to see your setup JoeCamNet! d('-'d) Someone who has a comparable setup in terms of games and collector's items is nice to see! =D You've got a number of gems that I still need to procure as well! You should've mentioned your awesome GamerAde next to your Big Daddy figure! Those are a bitch to get! Also, did you get your shelves/cabinets from Ikea or something? I'm totally out of room and looking for new places to put my games . . . =S

I'm content with my sound setup. I'm easy to please. It sounds good and that's all that matters to me.
The GamerAde, unfortunately, is opened. I had it sealed for the longest time, but it opened a bit when I moved to this new place and I had to open and empty it. I had the full Gamer Kit (popcorn, coasters, dry erase board) but they all got covered in GamerAde syrup from it busting open.

I'm glad people are enjoying my setup. if anybody is in the Northeast PA area and wants to drop by, you're welcome to come see it in person and I'll take you to the best pizza place in the area.
Who knows, maybe one day my gamer setup will be featured on the front page... Get some Dtoid editors in here! hahaha

Lame how your GamerAde bursted open! I actually got mine from an eBay friend and all, and he even sealed it in like 5 ziploc bags, and put it in a mason jar for me! =D Also, taking a second look, I just realized I got lamesauced on the Okami covers that I signed up for . . . -_-' Probably since I live in Canada and all . . . =( Also, if you want to get featured, you just have to remind Hamza like I did, lol.

I think you have to much awesome in your collection, let me take some it off your hands. Also how did you get your hands on the turquoise developer Gamecube?

I actually got that from the legendary Dale North. I forget what I swapped him for it, I think Persona 2 and some other stuff. This was back when P2 had it's first reprint a while back and you could find "used" copies at GameStop.

To those who are interested in buying anything, please feel free to contact me (joecam at joecamnet dot com). I've got so much stuff I gotta start clearing some of it out!
