So....there appears to be a bug in CBlogs right now and I can't access the older threads. So here's like, a partial recap of the day. I'll edit this with the when cblogs gets fixed (probably tomorrow night). Blurbs after the Recap:

{edit}
cblogs are fixed so I went in an added the ones I missed. This threw me off my rhythm abit so I apologize if I missed anything. Also, not the best of captions today, it's late and I don't feel like thinking.

Also, now that I have some free time again, I'll be revamping the look and format of the recaps to make them even more...more...[insert adjective of your choice]. expect some changes in the next few days hopefully.

Thuper Hardcore. I don't think this guy will ever make it off this list.

About CBlog Recaps + Archives

Today's Arktemplation's I'm gonna share some meaningless shit with ya'll.

Story #1
So yesterday, I "bypassed" the snes's brilliant region protection with clever use of an exacto knife and a butane lighter. I'd like to note that burning plastic is highly toxic and bad for your health.

Still, the pain in my lungs after the surgery operation I performed on my SNES was worth it for this:



I don't think I need to say anything else. best game evar.

Story #2
I'll do it cause all the cool kids seem to be doing it now:
My setup:

This is where I do most of my work. Big ass 13x19 photo printer on the left. Good shit.


Where I eat and stuff. And do more work.


My reading corner.


this is my entertainment area. Autostich doesn't do hemispherical stitches all that well. I was gonna manually stitch a cool orb, but that'd take too long so I just haphazardly collaged them together instead. Plus it juxtoposition of images looks kinda cool and differentiates them from all the other pano's now charlie decided to go share my secret art ninja techniques with everyone *cough*. j/k

anyway, 42 in 1080p samsung, xbox, ps3, no wii yet because the damn things are impossible to find (probably because nintendo is keeping they're stock artificially low. shortage my ass, I choose not to believe that). the red shelves on the left are entirely video games, kitchen is nice and close for snacks and drinks. The futon folds out into a full size bed for guests staying over. blah. I live a one bedroom+living room apartment. Thing is, because I live by myself, the whole damn thing is pretty much "my bedroom." In fact, my bedroom bedroom only has a bed in it. Thus there's alot of open areas, as it is pretty big for an LA apartment.

Story #3
I bought a dualshock 3 (imported) today. It is fantastic. It feels great and has the "heft" they were talking about on retroforcego. I feel like if someone broke into my place, I could club them in the back of their head with it in self defense.

Story #4
I had something to write here. But then I forgot. Oh well.

For Hamza #1:
This is for you Hamza
Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles

Prepare your stomach awesomeness. That's all I gotta say.

I'm shocked you haven't done that to your SNES sooner. That was the first thing I did to my puppy. If you remember I had that as one of my requiremnts for You might be a hardcore gamer if....you were officially hardcore before though.

Also, I still want that robot . I see it there on the shelf..lol.

I actually just want to hit up LA for the nightlife and for the fact arcades still boom hard compared to anywhere else in the states.

well...maybe not LA, but Cali in general.

I was thinking the exact same thing. Nice pictures dude. I really like your apt. Reading chair, Consoles, Robot, Katana, SNES, etc. etc. You really can't do anything wrong can you? Oh wait I didn't see that Maroon 5 poster. I take everything back! j/k :) You rock my world.

That is an awesome apartment, ceark. Not only is my dorm room about one-tenth the size, it’s also not anywhere near as tidy. Nice work.

@shin oni. It's an Adam Hughes illustration. forgot the character. I just liked the drawing when I saw it in a comic book store.

@Samit
I clean. Alot. I like a clean space.

I did the same to my SNES back in the day except I only used an exacto and a screwdriver and a shit load of time. ALL for a DBZ fighting game (which was totally worth it at the time). That's also a pretty cozy room you've got there. Nice.

Well done but whats with all these people and their neat set ups? Either you people are cleaning up before you take pictures or your parents made you clean up after everything you did when you were children...

@tragic

I'm almsot obsessively organized. I find it hard to work or play if things aren't where they're supposed to be. I hate unnecessary clutter.
