I really planned to blog more often than just the couple of entries i posted, but there were unforseen consequences that... eerrr... kinda forced me to move out and find a new nerd-home. But this gave me the opportunity to finally set up a nerdtastic home i can enjoy live and game in. So welcome to my home, dear reader! Destructoiders are always welcome!
The front door should allready give you a perfect example how nerdy i am. So pack enough health and mana potions, equip your best gear and get ready to raid. You can even exchange your Yoshi Doll for the Ribbon in here. And remember: Keep your eyes open for all the details!
As you enter the hallway you have to be strong! We immortalized the worst scenario in gaming existence from my first (handheld) console game i ever owned (Tetris on the old black&green Gameboy). This was the beginning of my passion for games. Thanks mum and dad!
I pass this one every morning on my way out and remember that life will allways throw you a line piece when you gave up hope. So i prepare for the worst by starring at the horror to train myself for the outside world.
Okay i just made that last part up. In fact i just needed something to fill the blank hallway with style.
Let's skip the kitchen south-park madness (you can see that at the gallery) and enter the living-room. Please look at the floor so you won't see all the stuff at once, turn white and die of overwhelming nerdiness (happened twice and i don't have any room left to bury another dead gamer in the garden...) Turn your head right and slooowly lift it up. There we have the DVD shelf with the special edition corner. It doesn't look like
that much but i just buy movies i really like and watch more than twice. There are about 400 DVDs right now. Whups 401 - just bought another one. Online shopping is a mean wallet-eater!
As we proceed a little to the left you'll see - around my pc i'm just typing this - the "Nerd-WG Gedächtnisecke". I can't really tranlsate that properly, but it's like a tribute to my last place where i lived with four crazy gamers. We had this big stairway were we would cover the walls with funny or amazing pictures, game covers, photos from trips or little gems we held dear (like a dollar from my New York visit, photos taken on our "sleep:less" film sets, tickets from a concert and so on). Try to spot all the things you know in the gallery!
ADVERT WARNING! There's even a invitation from our short film premiere! http://sleeplessmovie.wordpress.com! Check out my awful german accent in the trailer and give me some feedback!
ADVERT WARNING!
Now we turn around 180° and take a few steps forward. There is a large white wall (more on that later) and then there is the music game corner with Guitar Hero 2,3,World Tour and DJ Hero. And of course there is south park. Wasn't the GH Episode just awesome? Yeah i know, it really was.
But it's more fun playing drunk with friends while pretending to be rockstars.
Finally let's turn a little more to the right, ignore the sick huge red couch (i had such luck finding that), turn a little more and look at the game spot. Err... okay you can't see the wii right now and i haven't bought a playstation 3 yet. Also the N64, SNES, PS1 and PS2 are still in the basement but hey! Look at the allmighty DestrOctoid! My tribute to the best community i've ever been part of. It was a bitch to draw (all the stuff on the walls is hand painted with markers and brushes. Yes, even the tetris words) but i always wanted a destructoid logo and a octopus in my home, so i just combined them for total awesomeness!
The perfectionist in me says "meh.", but the nerd says "STFU! You got a fucking Destructo-tentacle-thing on your wall!" So what do you guys think?
What did you say? Where is the TV? Ah i almost fogot:
I know it's bragging! I'm sorry but i just LOVE it! You have to try playing Just Cause or Dante on 2.22cm x 1.70cm (87.4inch x 67inch) - you'll be blown away!
So what do you think of my setup?
(More pictures in the gallery)
And you should see the couch. I can roll around 3 times withouth falling of. Okay i'm just 5.5 but pshhht! don't tell anyone!
I CAME!
Where can I get one of those sweet "Ass Drive" t-shirts? Sounds fun. ;)
You setup is lovely and I like your stuff.
Also, your avatar reminds me:
How many schoolgirls have to die? Think of the schoolgirls.
That octo-whatsit is the best be-tentacled thing I've seen all week and take it from me, I've seen a lot of be-tentacled things. Hell, I think it even beats out the things without tentacles.
@GoldenGamerXero: aawww... me love you too
@Kraid: Thanks :)
@Char Aznable: You can get them on (b)assdrive.com ;)
@Occams electric toothbrush: Looks good, is there a english version?
@Monodi: At least 42!
Also awesome house.
Also Destructoid Octopus is AMAZING.
Still awesome, nonetheless.
P.S. Awesome pad, I love the shelves next to the Destructoid Octopus!
@namanert: I though about this long and hard (hehe.. heh) and came to the conclusion that the one extra arm is Jim Sterling, whipping the shit out of bad games ;)
@Coafi: Where are you from? Cause my Twin Peaks is PAL...
And the shelves are 4€ each ^^ awesome, right?
Thank you guys :) If any of you visit south germany, be sure to narp the hell out of my place ;)
Multiple times!
sweet man!
You Wound me. Our child, Beyamor. OUR CHILD has tentacles.
But yeah, fapped for Destroctoid. If you wanted to maybe make that into a bitchin' wallpaper, I know I'd use it.
@DtoidEurope: We europeans need to nerd it up to get noticed! ;)
@Qalamari: Sounds good, i'll work on it
I need to nerd it up .. stat!
How could I know that? You won't let me in, you never let me in. How can I be the [affiliation undetermined] this child needs me to be if you keep pushing me away?
My ongoing efforts to skip out on child support probably aren't helping the little sucker either.
..of everything. Very nice.
Truly amazing :)
I r envious.
