About Me


Alias: Saku
Age: Twenty-Three
Location: Florida
Twitter: TalesOfSaku

I've been a gamer almost my whole life. I'm not your average girl who grew up with Barbie's and whanot (though, I admit I still played them -- I enjoyed my brother's GI Joes more, hahaha. Boy toys are just better! .. wait, that didn't sound right.) Having an older brother, it was easier to get games and enjoy them more. The NES was my first love along with Sega right after. I miss Sega systems. : (

Systems I own:
Nintendo
Super Nintendo
Gameboy (aka "The Brick")
Gameboy color
GBA SP
Nintendo DS
Nintendo Wii
Sega Saturn
Sega Dreamcast
(Insert Sega Genesis that was broken by my mom's Godchild. ;_;)
Playstation 1 (both old and new version)
Playstation 2 (US and Japanese)
PSP (Have 2, actually. Gave my brother my blue one when I got the FF7 Crisis Core one)
Xbox 360
(Insert PS3 sometime in the future)

You'll come to learn that I am a huge Tales of whore (and that I only bought a 360 for Vesperia). And I really love my RPGs. I'm not really big Xbox fan because of the extreme amount of FPS, though I don't hate them. But I never wanted to own it because most of their games are FPS. But the RPGs are coming so yay :D I love fighting games, and rhythm games, and do not like horror games at all.

Along with video games, also been into anime for as long as I can remember. I love cosplaying, collecting crap to clutter my room, wasting my brain cells on the internet, and being with my friends.

Feel free to contact me if you ever want to talk. I love to meet new people!

To begin, thank you everyone for the nice welcome, creepy stalking, and much advice to not suck. :]

I'm sure people love to share pictures of their rooms, which most of the time might consist of extreme insanity of obsession. While I had already posted some pictures at Tomopop, I focused more on my room than my figurines in these pictures. I owed Colette some new pictures of my room either way.

Don't worry, if my pictures scare you, it won't be the first. I do carry a lot of crap, especially in such a small room. Be warned, there are quite a few.


So welcome to my abyss!


First wall, next to my bed.


Next wall. Some figures, some plushies, a crap load of keychains that won't all fit on my cellphone.


Next! Random PS2 games that I recently bought, Nia belt, Eevvvaaahhhhh, Row row Fight Da POWAA!, manga that don't fit in my shelf, crappy laptop don't I don't use anymore.


Favorite part of my room. On the right, first shelf is full of Japanese manga, second self is the best shelf ever, and the desk part is full of more manga and random crap there too. Shelfs above my TV have videos that I didn't get in the picture, shelf full of doujinshi, figurines, and DVDs. Ignore the random cosplay wigs. XP


The best shelf I was talking about? THIS ONE. My Tales of shelf. I officially ran out of room for more Tales of stuff, crap. XD


Under my TV. Oh look, a Wii collecting dust. Random PSX games in there, Gamecube and DS, Wii.

So where are the games and other systems? Well. My brother doesn't live here anymore and my mom turned his room into an "entertainment" room. So nice of her to put up with my gaming shit.


Ta-dah! ..... yeah, kind of boring, I know. I'm not allowed to attack this room with stuff. She was nice enough to let me have the displays in there. The games are in boxes under the futon ... it was the only choice I had. D:

And to show you how pathetic I am with this obsession:


Mmmm, yes. So delicious. The game with the glare is Tales of Legendia. Tales of the Abyss US and RE Tales of Vesperia are missing because my friends have them. There are still some games missing but one that'll be hard for me to get is Tales of Destiny 2 US (aka Tales of Eternia). ;_;

So there you have it! Sorry I couldn't get pictures of my games but, uh, I feel so sad for them being kept hidden in a box.

Oh, and since I'm already posting a gajillion pictures, someone left a comment to share video game cosplay pictures. While I haven't really cosplayed people from games, I did dress up as Link for the midnight release of SSBB. It's not great but it was something I pulled together in one day. :P



Now with this done, time to go pick up my copy of The Last Remnant! Anyways, those going to the Miami NARP, see you tonight!



Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

It's not broken. It's crappy because it has extreme overheating problems so it can only stay there is the cooling fan. Some portable device, huh?

I just wanna know what guys think when they walk in that room, if they ever do? Of course, nerdy guys would probably think it's cool, but what about non-gamer guys? They get scared?

Just wondering....

@ EternalDeathSlayer:

Curious as to what kind of guys you mean. I haven't had one person think my room as weird or over-the-top lol. If you mean guys that I bring home, I've only dated nerdy guys and actually, never really date much anyways.
EternalDeathSlayer's Avatar - Comment posted on 11/21/2008 15:40
EternalDeathSlayer
I meant non-nerdy guys. I figured you wouldn't be bringing too many non-gamer types home, but just in case you had, I wondered how they would react. Guess we'll never know.....

It is a cool room btw. Little excessive, but cool.

I giggled at the fact of how many similiar posters I had in my room that's in your room. Like I've said before your room looked like my room five years ago. XD;;

Many props to the Digimon adventures on your wall :3

and your Tales collection makes me SO JEALOUS! I love Tales games I didn't get a chance to play Tales of Destiny.

I used to work at a Gamestop and had those same stands in my room. Due to lack of space, I gave them away to friends.

First off, distinct lack of Sonic plushies, BOO!!!

How old is that computer in the entertainment room picture?

Nice use of wall space though. My room(well, both my college apartment and my one back home) seem so bland and bare by comparison. The shelves don't seem too organized though...

Oh, and to the last pic, you make a very handsome young man, miss.

Too tired from the NARP to reply to others. I'm outta here ~ Zzzzz

Sweet deep fired jesus on a stick... I've seen some massive libraries of manga and anime crap before, but your room... holy fuck, I don't even want to go near it. Also, Carpcaptor Kero plushie is soooooo cute.

Games in a box under a futon? They need to be put on display for everyone to see! And I'm really jealous of all the shit you have, but you have four years on me, so I think I have time to catch up. ;)

@ Erik Knox: Nope. I'm sure the shit you by for yourself isn't a waste of money, thx.

@ Diverse: Yeah, sadly, they have to be there because my mom doesn't want my games to take up space in that room. :|

I'm more surprised that you have kanji wall paper more than anything else.

I think I would go crazy living in a room with so much clutter, but to each their own.

Hahaha nice! Always nice to see another Tales fan! ^_^ Nice to see Rebirth and Fandom 2 there! =P I do have Destiny 2 on you! =P Also, super jealous of your Crisis Core PSP (read sidebar), Roxas and Kirby plushies, and your Phantom Hourglass standee! Also, what happened to the other half of your Kingdom Hearts II standee? o_O

Wow.

Although, waking up in that room with a hangover must be quite an experience.

Welcome to Destructoid, the fact that you have an entertainment room makes me just a tad jealous.

Be good.

Wow .. the best room ever?

I have to admit I wouldn't be able to have my room filled anime-ish/videogame-ish things simply due how "normal" people would look at me. Hell, I get glares from random people when they hear somewhere of the games I own.

Still, impressive.

Your dedication to the Tales franchise is heartwarming. I've always loved it myself, and always will. It's so great that you have standees out and about too. I have one for Blue Dragon . . . but no room to display it.
