My setup: Couches are Comfy
Pyroph | 10:34 AM on 06.24.2009 17 comments




Inspired by Takeshi's awesome setup, I decided to post mine.

Living in Iowa, games help me get by as there's pretty much jack shit to do here.

Prime Gaming Area



This is where I play my 360 and PS3, and do all my blogginz. As my post says, this couch is pretty awesome.



Here's my 360/PS3/Ps2 in their habitat.



SF4 faceplate.

Next to this I have my random box of stuff that I use to transport all my wires, cables and additional crap.



Inside it it's pretty messy, and the most essential item there is easily Chad's thank you letter for the Megadrive charity.



Downstairs Setup



Downstairs I have all of my older consoles and the Wii. It's pretty messy.



Gaming Collection and Stuff



What also encouraged me to show all this was when I cleared up some space. Before, a lot of my stuff was randomly spread out, and I wanted to have all of my stuff in one area.



Here are all the handhelds.



Does anyone have a better idea for storage on DS games lol? I'd keep them in the cases, but that'd get annoying to drag out.



All my GBA/DS games.



I like to make perler, thanks for the inspiration Faith!



Assortment of random music DVDs, books, and Mega64 DVDs.



Here's my 360 collection, I like to keep everything on alphabetical order.



Boxes of my DS games.



My crappy collection of old Ps2/Xbox games.



I love Kubricks. :)



My music collection is mostly Dream Theater, Opeth and Porcupine Tree with all other random albums on the right side.





Some retro Genesis and NES games, plus the random GTA4 bat I won.

My collection is pretty small compared to other people's awesomeness here. It's amazing to see how much other people have collected. It was pretty fun to put all of this stuff together, and not too terribly difficult once you get started. As people have stated in the past, people posting these are really cool. It's great to see Dtoid's community and all of the awesome people here's setups.




My dog was following me around, so I figured I'd take a picture of her. :3



Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

Nice :) I see you posted your cabinet three times :P

I like the SF4 plate though :] How much easier is it with those Madcatz pads compared to the regular pad? Considering getting one.

Also, you should treat that downstairs are to a cable tidy or clean up :P

Otherwise way better than mine anyway :) Except it's missing retro consoles :)

Cool dude! I'm glad to be an inspiration. I hate dogs but I'm more than happy to make an exception for that little lady right there. She's cute.

That's a pretty cool setup you have. Everything nice and tidy. Well, except for downstairs. That one thing I hate about older consoles or rather joysticks. All those damn wires!

You've got Metal Gear Solid 1,2,3,4 and Killzone 2 that's enough to make me a happy man.

@ Bulkmailer It was from Best Buy, came with a free XL (lol) Protoype shirt, nothing else. (same price)

@Zippyduda the NES is hiding in that basement pic, and I forgot that my Genesis is up in my room, heh.

@ Zippy

The Sf4 pads are decent, if not just for the turbo functionality. ;) The D pad isn't the greatest, but it works. The buttons are super responsive, however.

What the hell? o_O I work at Best Buy and we didn't get any promotional Prototype stuff? Although, it's a Canadians one, and we usually get the shaft on cool stuff . . . -_-' Nice collection mate, and I am VERY VERY jealous of that Grand Theft Auto IV Baseball Bat!

Diverse took my comment verbatim, except for the "Broham" word. That word frightens me.

The sheer fact that multiple consoles can coexist peaceably alongside each other in one awesome place is reason for hope in a bleak, inhospitable world. And your dog is cute!

Cool setup - you should definitely tidy up that downstairs bit with a cheap bookshelf or something. I too am looking for a better way to display cartridge only handheld games, and feel your pain.

PUPPY!

Nice collection, but I couldn't help but notice the lack of SNES titles. You were a Sega child growing up I take it?

@P3T3Y

That case is really cool. Definitely ordering one of those next time I get something off of amazon, thanks.
