Gaming Setup de Primo Tapia
Primo | 2:58 PM on 02.21.2009 11 comments


Hello Destructoid, I hope everyone is having a thoroughly enjoyable weekend thus far. I am really hungover right now, but thought I'd take a break from playing Pixeljunk Monsters (best hangover game ever). I love checking out other Dtoid members gaming setups, so I think it's time to show you guys how I roll when I'm getting my ass kicked in SOCOM. 26" Sony Bravia, Sony 5.1 System, PS3 (80GB BC) Some people are graphics whores, I am a sound whore. When I play KZ2 I want bullets flying through my fucking skull. When I play PJ Eden, I want to be in the zone. When I play Noby Noby Boy, I want my neighbors to wonder what the hell is going on in my apartment. You get the idea. I would have liked to purchase a bigger system, but I won't be able to fit it in my bedroom. My TV's glamour shot.. Hi PSN friends! My sub/PS3 controllers As much as I love online gaming, nothing will beat local MP. PS3 Games Etc Ren & Stimpy DVDs, Transformers (Animated movie), Okami, GoWII, SotC, Street Fighter Blu Ray (ugh, I was drunk when I bought it), I think you can figure out what the rest of the games are. Not Pictured: PSN Games :P And yes, that is an autographed picture of Jesus. Sega Genesis, Multi-tap 4-way Play, controllers I love my Sega Genesis. Unfortunately, I don't have anywhere to put it right now. It sits up in a box in my closet and weeps all day. Yes, those are some badass games. Local multiplayer FTW! Yes, those are more badass games. Starflight, Game Genie, Blockbuster Video cleaning kit Starflight is the greatest game ever, so I had to photograph it separately. Game Genie was the only way I could get through games like Jurassic Park. I am old, does anyone else even have a cleaning kit anymore? Some Janky 30 Whatever-Inch Westinghouse This is the "other" HDTV. I'm considering hooking up my Sega to it but it's not in my room and not as cool. It usually just sits around playing DVDs and what not. Old Dell Computer, Surround Sound Speaker This is my old computer. It can still run Starcraft and Max Payne, I think that's all that matters. Ghetto Laptop Here is my ghetto laptop. Some of the keys are busted on it. I only really use it to read stuff while on the shitter. My current painting I'm currently working on Pixeljunk Eden inspired painting. My view of downtown Phoenix I leave you with my view of downtown Phoenix. The weather is nice today, it's a cool 75 degrees. I hope you guys enjoyed the time we spent together, enjoy the rest of your weekend!

That's me on TV!!! Nice setup dude. You win for the Game Genie.
Artemus's Destructoid Blog
Nice...
The Sega Genesis will always be a damn beast!
Love that system!
Ha ha! Yea! Great games, man! Jurassic Park was sick, being able to play as the Raptor and eat the small compy dinos!
Ah, memories...
=)
kami's Destructoid Blog
I feel honored to make a cameo in your friends list. This is the most famous I will ever be....
B-Radicate's Destructoid Blog
Modest little setup. Cool.

I have to get around to doing one of these setup blogs once I get my movie posters shipped and framed...
Solgrim's Destructoid Blog
Sweeet set up man
brainderailment's Destructoid Blog
I have that same sound system. Looks good man.
TrailerParkJesus's Destructoid Blog
hmm, I don't like that first TV being so close to that door..

Wait, are you trying to say the PS3 makes for a good doorstop!!? BIAS!
IronPikeman's Destructoid Blog
Yay, I was online on that pic!!!! Very cool set-up, by the way and I really want to see the finished product when your done with that painting.

Also, we miss you in SOCOM...
Clance's Destructoid Blog
Wow!

Your house looks like the kind of place Jason Bourne would live.

Not dangerous having the PS3 set-up so close to thye door? I'd collapse into that drunk, no doubt about that.

Great view, that looks like one clean street... I'm coming to stay.

Also, Fifa 09 is looking lonrly, I think we need to get this on! Shame I'm not on the PSN list there!

@Takeshi- I remember I subscribed to the Game Genie mailing list and they'd sent me updated code books in the mail. It was pretty amazing.

@Artemus- Jurassic Park was a sweet game. I loved the music!

@Kami- All of you are very famous. Barely any of my friends here play games, so when they come over and see my friends list they start asking questions about all of the names on it.

@B-Radicate- Do it man! I have a small bedroom so it works out pretty well.

@Solgrim- Thanks you sir.

@brainderailment- It's not a bad little sound system. For the price and for my bedroom, it was perfect.

@IronPikeman- Dude I miss SOCOM, too. My PSN connection in my room is completely unstable and I hate it. There are only a few games I can play without getting kicked out.

@TrailerParkJesus- Lol I know it's way too close, I'm the market for a new tower. Or I might build a shelf above the TV.

I'll do a painting update in a while.. I'm working on a couple VGR items.

@Clance- That's my closet door, and it is dangerous. I like to live dangerously.

We will play FIFA soon! Haha we've saying that for a while but we will find time.

@fa5ar- Thanks for the websites!
