My Gaming Setup
Togail | 2:31 PM on 12.09.2009 56 comments


This is my gaming setup/home office. I've been a dtoid member for almost a year now, and haven't posted my setup; I considered this a problem. Without further ado, this is my throne:



I sit behind the couch, and my guests are in front of me. I control media on the PS3/360 from back here while they chat, read, play or draw. This is also my workspace for drawing, and doing business.

Right side, entertainment and reading:



This is my Street Fighter/Pulp Fiction wall. To the left are my games for PS3, 360, PS2 (96 games!), PSP and DS. Guarding them are my statues of anime and video game characters from King of Fighters, Disgaea, Fallout 3, Fate/Stay Night, Evangelion, and sculpted designs by Shunya Yamashita ( I have a tattoo on my left arm by this same guy, his pin-ups are sublime).

There's Japanese manga that I can't read, Marvel comic books, and my very large collection of design/art books imported from all over the world. In the back are two original pen drawings by Socar Myles and Ransom Getty and just out of frame at the bottom is a signed and numbered print by Liz Lorini; all are tremendous artists.

Also, obligatory bass guitar.

Left side, workstation #2 & #3



This is the high end gaming computer/3D animation workstation for my company. My senior artist Krystal jams out on this machine, check her work at The Krayon Box. Original painting on the wall by dtoid member mimasaurus. Out of view on the left most all behind the lamp is a signed and numbered print of Jason Byron Nelson's Flowers in the Attic.

Front and center:



This is about where I sit. TV is a 42" 1080p LG HDTV. This thing is awesome when you're like four feet from it and playing Flower. Just above it is my second signed print by Erik Jones, another ridiculously good artist. I met him and Ransom Getty at Megacon last year here in Orlando. Above the print is my Gestalt Clock.

Gestalt, in it's basic form, is interpreting visual data from limited information. There is only a 1/4th of the clock here, so you must use your mind's eye to see the rest; it makes a great conversation piece. Left side of the wall is my X-men/Buffy compilation.

I witness awesome from my kitchen at all times:



Thanks for looking at my setup, it's taken a while to acquire, catalog, and arrange my nerd treasury, and I'm glad to be able to show it off, finally.



Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

Love the comic book lined walls! Those combined with the low lighting make it look like the ultimate nerd-cave. Which is awesome!

I giggled a little at the Gestalt clock. Clever. :D

But that doubles as your workspace? I can guarantee that I'd never get any work done there. You must have the fortitude of a monk to not get distracted.

So that's where great art is born? I need to change something over here. I love it dude, looks like somewhere I could live very well. And boy I wonder what will happen when your clock displays "20 mins past the boob of Buffy"...

Nice setup mate! ^_^ I see you've got a taste for higher end Vodka as well, with the Grey Goose and all! =P I'm also VERY jealous of your game shelf/cabinet-thingy, as I'm desperately out of room for my games . . . especially on PS2 . . . =( The Gestalt clock is also pretty bitchin'!

Purdy stuff. Also, with all those Marvel comics, I have to know, who's your favorite Marvel character? :3

Ooooh ooh comics! Questions:

Is that X-23 below the clock? I can't really tell.

Did you read Planet Hulk? That shit was way better than World War Hulk, I was pretty disappointed with that one.

Do the Street Fighter comics actually have good plotlines, or is their only good point Udon's art?

Jack: Favorite Marvel character? Probably Deadpool or Ironman.

ran: The entire X-23 series is up there, yup. I never read Planet Hulk, but I know the basic story.

The Street Fighter comics are ALL awesome.

Guess I should have been more specific lol. The "X-23" thing I was talking about is that poster looking thing that has a girl with a bloody red hand. It's right above the TV, and it's too big to be a comic. It looks light it might be a custom piece, but if that is buyable somewhere I totally want it.

OH! That's a original character print by Erik Jones. You can find him on the web, he has a website.

I love you because you address that you own a bass guitar.

Ridiculous set up though man, I love it. I just got my friends girlfriend to hook him up with that exact same wacom tablet; thing is awesome. I suck at drawing, but I had so much fun just playing with it because it can do so many things.

What do you do to hang those comics on the walls? I assume you want to be able to take them down easily.

That's probably the nerdiest/coolest setup I've ever seen.
