My Recovered Gaming Rig, Let Me Show It To You
ShadokatRegn | 6:09 PM on 10.14.2009 33 comments


After some unfortunate tornado business a few months ago, I've finally managed to get settled in a special place. I remodeled this place just for me. I am no longer above ground, so tornadoes can't reach me, and I have all my gaming stuff set up once again.



Here's my new entertainment center, with new High Def TV. Xbox 360 replaced (yep, it didn't survive for more than a week as originally thought,) PS3 checked out, and Nintendo Wii is invincible.

Speaking of the Wii:



Decals! Yea, my Wii got a retro makeover. It's less glaringly WII on my shelf now, the grey toned it down enough.

This is my up-close set-up, yes, I do have all 3 systems...and a DVD player.



And my collection, per request:





Since myself, and at least one other was concerned about the condition of my gaming chair:



It's a bit tattered, but it survived the storm over-all. So far, no splintered glass in places where glass doesn't belong due to sitting in my golden throne, including my kitties.



Oh, and I have a desk now.



And I even have a view from my desk/office area:



I can play video games while I surf the net (which will be more important when I have a desktop PC,) or watch movies while doing homework.

Next up on the Shadokat agenda; I will be posting the PAX paper I wrote for my English class, just have to add some profanity or something first. Cheers!

Does your cat ever fuck with your shit? My friends cats do.

Anyway, glad to see you're all recovered from that disaster! Awesome setup! What's in the tank on your desk - looks like a turtle.
ScottyG's Destructoid Blog
Yay! Love the gaming chair btw! :D
ShadokatRegn's Destructoid Blog
It's a snake, he's hiding. There are other non-gamey-things in this room, like the 55 gallon fish tank that didn't shatter.

And yes, my cats do mess with my shit - not terribly often, and they haven't broken anything, just rearrange things a bit...like, on the floor.
blehman's Destructoid Blog
Nice set-up. :p

"Since myself, and at least one other was concerned about the condition of my gaming chair"

LOL!

Looks really nice!

Cute cat?
*check*

Good gaming chair?
*check*

That's all you need.
ShadokatRegn's Destructoid Blog
@Takeshi you forgot: Gaming system, and TV. Those are important as well ;)
nebones's Destructoid Blog
Very sexy.


Needs moar pictures of your games though :O
pedrovay2003's Destructoid Blog
I'm jealous of your Macbook. :P

Still a really epic setup, especially considering it's a rebuild.
nebones's Destructoid Blog
Much better :]
Tubatic's Destructoid Blog
Awesome Wii Decals!!!!

ZOMG Maxx!

Glad you recovered!
Takeshi's Destructoid Blog
Oh yeah, dang, that's stupid. But really, a fine chair is almost as important as a TV to enjoy your games.
Kryptinite's Destructoid Blog
I love it!!!

I'll have to get on the ball and post my cool stuff :)
ShadokatRegn's Destructoid Blog
@Tubatic Thanks! And yes, Maxx! My favorite comic book series of all time!

@Takeshi - It is very important, and I was very distraught when I wasn't sure if it was gonna make it!
ShadokatRegn's Destructoid Blog
@Kryptinite Hell yea! Especially since your new place is a NEW PLACE! Man, get on that, asap.
walkyourpath's Destructoid Blog
Great set-up! Like Tubatic, really dig the make-over on the Wii.
Takeshi's Destructoid Blog
I'd do myself in if my leopard baby would pass away. ;)
ChillyBilly's Destructoid Blog
Nice setup, thanks for sharing!
Monodi's Destructoid Blog
I want a rack like yours!
Kraid's Destructoid Blog
Is that? Is that a Wolf Pack Lego shield from the older Castle sets?? I think I love you....>_>
ShadokatRegn's Destructoid Blog
@ Monodi It's a pretty one-of-a-kind deal, gotta work hard for those babies.

@Kraid Why yes, yes it is! Somehow the paint got messed up, but it's still intact post-storm.
Y0j1mb0's Destructoid Blog
You need more PS3 games.

Also I don't know why but I expected you to have a Spider Man shrine of some sort. LOL.
megaStryke's Destructoid Blog
I should totally do that my Wii. I forgot that decal existed.
CrocBox's Destructoid Blog
lol games organized alphabetically :P
ShadokatRegn's Destructoid Blog
@Y0j1mb0 - Oh man, my Spidey poster is on a different wall. I have so many things I COULD share...I had to decide what TO share. I'm big on PS3 exclusives - the dual-shock style controller makes my hands unhappy, so if I have a choice, I still go Xbox for comfort.

@CrocBox I had all my old games, dvd's AND books alphabetized, but haven't gotten around to catching up with most of it yet.
mourning orange's Destructoid Blog
Cool, Maxx wallpaper.
Funktastic's Destructoid Blog
Nice setup and all yo! ^_^ Nice to see someone else who likes to display their swag, like myself! =D
shipero's Destructoid Blog
Wolfpack Lego shield! Fuck yes!
kauza's Destructoid Blog
Any setup post with a cat in it is a victory.
Elsa's Destructoid Blog
I remember your blog about the hurricane... nice to see everything is back in it's place now!
ShadokatRegn's Destructoid Blog
@Elsa - well, I had to move, so it's not really "back in place" but it's nice to be settled, anyway! Oh yea, and it was a tornado; I think more of my shit would be missing if it were a hurricane!
PappaDukes's Destructoid Blog
Yurtle!
KINGof210's Destructoid Blog
Love that LEGO Wolfpack shield on the wall. I was ADDICTED to LEGOs back in the day!
Deeth82's Destructoid Blog
I agree with y0j1mb0...you need MOAR PS3 GAMEZ!!!!
