My Gaming Setup Revisited
larktenchi | 11:03 AM on 05.16.2010 24 comments


Hi all! It's me again, Larktenchi (PSN/360: x5977632110x)!

Recently, the all-seeing Hamza front-paged my Gaming Setup I was really happy about it, and thanks to all of you guys out there who thought that it was cool. Now though, my gaming setup is a bit different than the last time that I blogged about it, (That was months ago.) If you won't mind, I took the liberty of tooking some new photos to share to you guys.

It's just a minor upgrade overhaul though, nothing major.

Take note that it is a small gaming room, but that's the thing. Its more like a personal space/area; for 1-4 persons only. I guess my hope is that I can be able to make a cool gaming area, regardless of the size of the room.

I hope, as before, that you liked it and maybe, even be inspired to think about new setups for your own gaming rooms. Enjoy!

BTW, a very BIG Shout-out to my man, Artemus!!! You're the coolest bro! Pick up his wicked shirts at http://www.1upshirts.com/ NOW! I'm sure I will!

Again, if you wanna see my last Gaming Setup blog, go directly here.

Now, Let's Start!

My New and Improved Gaming Room!

Lights on


Lights off



I fixed up the place, removed some collectibles while adding new ones. Acquired some new controllers, games and a Harman Kardon amplifier for Dolby and DTS surround sound. Installed some new seats (for those of you who will comment about the seats not having a support to lean on, trust me it's comfortable enough. Besides, arcade chairs also don't have seats to lean on.)
I also removed my limited edition game boxes (Fallout 3, Arkham etc.) because they REALLY take up a lot of space (although I displayed 2 collectible boxes cause they're cool. The boxes I mean.)

What else? I've upgraded my PS3, because I felt that my PS3 Phat desperately needs to retire, although I've set it up on to the living room.

So now, lets go through some more detailed pics:

Here's my Wii, PS3 Slim and Xbox 360



Limited Edition FFXIII 250 gig PS3 Slim
(can now support Dolby and DTS TruHD!)


My updated game library


And my 2 new Tournament Edition Street Fighter IV Round 2 FightSticks



On to the collectibles:

Halo 3 Kotobukiya Master Chief Bubble Shield


Neca Kratos God of War II 12'' and 6''



Mcfarlane Twisted Land of Oz Dorothy



Hasbro Empire Strikes Back Darth Vader ForceFX


and Darth Maul The Phantom Menace ForceFX Lightsabers



Hot Toys DX-01 The Joker


Hot Toys DX-02 Batman


Lastly, put up the Fightsticks at the living area table for those gaming sessions when friends and buddies come over. (SSF4 on my PS3 Phat)




That's it guys! Hope by the end of the year, if someone's still interested, I can post a new Gaming Setup update by then!

Cheers!

The non-alphabetized gaming shelf would drive me crazy, though I love the color-coordinated systems. You make my gaming area look like shit and I envy you for it.

Nice post, and a great collection of games and memorabilia!

Epic fappness. So jealous. I've got all sorts of other expenses pertaining to having a wife and kid, but I'm gradually building something similar, albeit with more infant-resistance (tall shelves for my action figures).

@etirflita:
An alphabetized game shelf WOULD drive me crazy; always putting them back in their respective system while also trying to find what game you want to play by remembering the first letter of the title. :) still, to each his own. Thanks though.

@ fightmejimmy:
Goodluck to you brother, hope the missus shares our appreciation for games and collectibles. Also, Thanks a lot for fapping, appreciated.

Your setup is amazing man. You put my lonely 360 and DSi to shame. I want to someday be able to do my own setup.

FAPPED!

Yeah! Ha ha! Thanks for the shout-out! Didn't expect that! =)
Anyway, now that's one sick, fucking gaming setup!
Dude, your place is amazing! The goods are all nicely organized without being ridiculous and alphabetized. I love it! Also, those Hot Toys Batman and Joker are, well, hot!
I envy you! ;)
One more thing, those lightsabers give the room a sweet glow, too!
I fapped.

@ Artemus:
Don't worry bro, if you ever visit our country, you're always welcome in my gaming room!
Thanks so much bro, for appreciating and fapping!

@SteezyXL:
Thanks man, if you do your own setup, share it here, I'll definitely fap it. :)

This blog makes me want to post pictures of my "updated" setup as well! ^_^ Still, very nice setup mate. Not nearly as cluttered with shit like mine! >_< Not going to lie, the collector in my though immediately noticed the Final Fantasy XIII Lightning PS3 in the first picture before your close-up and all, hahaha! Those things are pretty pricey, so nice fetch!

@ funktastic:
Yeah I saw your blog, you're one Hot damn collector in all Videogame-related!
Wow man, COOL!
Still, thanks a lot. Even though we both focus on different investments in our gaming, we met half-way through because of a limited ed Lightning PS3 Slim!
Cheers mate!

@ lark - sup ;p I got another poster frame up and about and some other very other spiffy stuff I'll prob make a blog about when I get around to it :P I remeber your collection blog as well, and I've looked over this one at least 5 or 6 times since you posted it I have refrained from posting cause I only have terrible mean things to say! ;p

Unfortunately I liked the old figs better :/ everyone has their own taste though and all that so I can't really say anything :P Also that spawn bookend thing you have on it's side bothers me :< Though it still looks very cool to me despite the changes, and very neat :P Lot neater then mine ^^

@Dao2-SKP: yeah, no worries man, I understand. I guess you like the Vader and Iron Man better. Don't worry, I'm still waiting for my Sideshow Darth Talon and Hot Toys Iron Man & War Machine this year, you might like those!

I removed the old ones and distributed them around the house cause I really wanna make things more spiffy; more streamlined. I left the DK Hot Toys cause for me, that's one hell of a movie memorabilia from one of the best movies of 2008 (also I'm a big Batman fan; that's the only character I love from DC :).

We very much agree on one thing though:
That Spawn bookend bothers me too! haha, I just can't find a really good bookend and/or a really good cd case for my games. I hate my cd case haha.

Still, really nice for you to hit the comments man. Goodluck on those poster frames and on your gaming room! I'll fap your blog when you post an update.

@ lark - aye I did ;p and avidly await the new figs your getting. I do like the DK hot toys, they look pretty spiffy no doubt just preferred the old ones. Though I'm an avid hater of halo so the bubble shield one brings flame and brimstone to my pupils. I'm surprised the cases can't stand upright by themselves without the spawn fig holding them up, must be the special edition stuff slightly pushing them out or something. Wouldn't hold your breathe on that update for me though it's probably at least a month away :P

Can't blame you on your halo flame hahaha! :)
Goodluck again bro.

I hope, one day when I have my own place, I'll be able to make something simmilar to a gaming center/room. I LOVE the tight room you've put it in, as I've never been a fan of big rooms. Cozier that way. One thing I would have done differetn though it's the seating. LCDs facing down, beanbags all the way. <3

@aslani:
That would be cool, although people who wouldn't play but just watch others play games can't (or would be much harder to) when the lcd is facing down.

Still, that's the purpose of a living room if theirs a lot of people/guests.

Thanks for the input though, I'll think about it.

@larktenchi: Oh I don't know if I'll have a setup as nice as yours any time soon, but I'm definitely trying to work on it. I'll for sure post it up as a blog once it becomes something worth blogging about.
