The Anatomy of my game room: Complete with cat hair!
Virtualgirl | 1:18 PM on 06.04.2007 40 comments


Another Random Post for me, this time, showing off my pride and joy, the game room! It was a ton of work, and pretty much the only thing we were looking for in a new house, but it turned out pretty sweet! The old room was wood paneling with railroad spikes all over the walls for some reason. My hubby won a high end projector in a contest not to long ago, so soon the TV will be on its way out and we will be using that instead! Other than that, we are going to build a custom entertainment stand to house the systems, as what we have is kinda a piece of crap right now...but let me know what you think!!!

The first view, complete with AV couch!




The Really Shitty Nintendo lamp I made, and the NES controller I made out of spray paint and foam core...lol


More randoms stuff...


The Tomb Raider Painting I did...I know, I am a freak...


My Pride and Joy, all my autographed stuff from GDC...




The Crappy drawing I attempted, and more random Tomb Raider Crap...


My action figures and drawings...the drawings took 3 days and 20+ sharpies to do!


I got Cloud and his Fenrir for christmas! Yeay!










My AOD bobble head and Tranny Lara action figure!




On to the game wall, I know, some of them are not in the right place, but we ran out of room in some of the shelves, we are working on more storage...














Piece of crap container for NES games (on its way out) and the awsome 80's board games we got on ebay!


These shelves are on their way out as well, but right now they house our PC games, 360 games, wii games and the titles we are currently playing!


My Nintendo project in its new home!




The Zelda picture I made out of a cardboard standup...


And last but not least- The beer fridge! Currently full of Stella and Leinenkugel's Honey Weiss...mmmmmmmmmm....


Thats it, the full tour! If you have any suggestions as well, let me know!!!!

If you want to see more pictures, or them closer up, check them out in my Flickr account:

MY LIFE SAVINGS FOR THAT ZELDA CUTOUT PICTURE YOU MADE!!!

I get mad when I see gamer rooms like yours, cause I think about all the crap I threw out over the years and say to myself.. "I could have had an awesome room a fraction as amazing as hers"

oh wells, awsome room

Hey VirtualGirl, if you want it, I have one of those Neon XBOX360 signs that they gave to retail stores back when the 360 came out. I've been trying to figure out a way to use it in my gameroom, but with my current living standards it ain't happenin.

wow. thats awsome! love the black and white hand drawings around the top of the room!

i rent my current apt b/c it has an extra room, that was going to be my game room. instead it houses all the boxes i never unpacked, a broken arcade cab, and my recycling :(

@galagabug

That is the one thing we are for sure missing, it is our mission to get an arcade cab in the room in the next few years. When we get a new house, our goal is to have a built in DDR pad in the floor...lol

oh man, floor ddr would be good times!

my buddy just bought his first house, and we're mocking up a bar with built in arcade controls for mame goodness. i'll def be postin pics if/when we ever get started.

I love that room. When I move into my new house, I am totally going to get my game room up and running. I may steal a few ideas if that is ok.

Where did you get the signs that are on the wall hanging over your game shelves? I love the way that looks.

from a Game Crazy when It closed down, i used to work there so we got to raid it. Its not that hard to do large format printing at kinko's or something though, then you could laminate it or mount it on something!

That's a seriously awesome room. And it even has Stella? You need to organize a party and invite me over. I can't make cookies very well at all, but my peanut butter fudge is the shiznit.

I want to lay that room down by the fire and make passionate yet gentle love to it.
The bar has been set pretty damn high. My hat is off to you.
