Tendo City - Game collection pictures

As I said these pictures aren't exactly great, but it's all I have at the moment, remembering that I do not own a scanner or digital camera.

Also remember, I've moved so this isn't my current setup. Not just the location has changed -- I don't have the TV on top of that dresser anymore, for instance.

Upper left: My computer, the circa-2007 Vista one. I love the green case, it's so awesome looking... :) (Green is, remember, my favorite color) The Saitek P990 gamepad (to the left of the Xbox) is plugged into the front side USB.

For the consoles, on the left that's an Xbox with Dreamcast on top of it on the left. The controller plugged into the Xbox can't be seen, but it's an original-style controller of course, I like them much better than the S. Three DC controllers are needed for the VMUs/4X memory cards (that blue one is third party). The Genesis with Sega CD attached is behind them and invisible (part of a few cartridges can be seen, but that's not the system). The 32X is probably sitting, unattached, behind the Genesis.

In the center the Turbografx with base unit is in front. The CD drive needs a new laser, so it's not attached, but the base unit gets me AV output and saving. I'm not certain what game that is, but the case is Dungeon Explorer. Behind that is the N64, only visible because of the controllers (two visible, but it has four attached) and Lode Runner 3D cartridge.

On the right, the Saturn is in front. Behind that is the NES with Ikari Warriors II in it, and behind that the PS2, largely invisible, with the SNES and Wii both on top of it. The Wii blends in with that black game case (full of GC games) sitting on top of it, but it's there.

Bookshelf and table, with some stuff already packed up for moving. The books are almost all history, sci-fi, or fantasy, of course. You can see the Gamecube and Saturn Mission Stick joystick on the floor. On the table, that Sub Terrania poster (on the table) is awesome... good game, cool poster. :) The little notebook above it is the one I write all my game passwords in. It's a great way to keep track of them, much better than random scraps of paper for every game or something, when I have so many games with password save... The game box next to it is NES Adventure of Link, by the way.

The official Sega (published by Agetec in the US) Dreamcast arcade stick is on the bookshelf. To its left is the box for the Akuma-version Playstation Street Fighter Anniversary Edition controller, which is awesome and the only good gamepad for digital-control PSX games that I have used. The small Wipeout 64 poster on top of the blue box with some game cases and guides and such in it came with the game, I think it's kind of cool looking.

I kept my SNES games stacked under the table, in six large piles, and NES too, in two piles.

TV - 19" CRT from the mid '00s. Desk on left had computer on it. Awful thing, gotten rid of it now that I have something better (like almost anything). Akuma SF controller box is shiny. VCR is next to the TV, for VHS movies and a few more AV plugins. Piles of VHS tapes are on top of the VCR, a few of which are visible.

On the ground, the systems and controllers are mostly out of view, but a bit is visible. Note in the back the SNES Mouse mousepad is there, next to a few VHS tapes. In front of that is a big pile of extra controllers and accessories that are too hard to make out individually in the dim light. The SNES Jim Power box is on top of that stuff, and a pile of PS2 games is in front, with Disgaea being the only visible one. One of my CD binders is in the center -- I have one for PSX games, one for PS2, one for Dreamcast (used to be DC and Sega CD, I've put the Sega CD games in cases now), and one for Gamecube. Extra PS2, PS1, and GC games are in their own cases, as their binders are full. The GC binder is in one of the other pics, and I think this is the PS1 one...

Oh, and yes, oddly enough I do have a cloth bag with the "ABF" initials on it. No, I didn't have that done or something, it's just a coincidence. Kind of amusing, though. :)

Oh yeah, the dresser doesn't have clothes in it. The top drawer is just desk stuff (because the computer desk didn't have drawers). The second has the Turbo CD drive, and had Wii games and some game boxes and stuff. Mostly empty. The third drawer has my N64 cartridges in it, all of them. They're organized in columns by whether they save to the cartridge or require a memory card, and the memory card columnts are further separated into groups for each card. Makes remembering which one to use a little easier. The bottom drawer has my Genesis, SMS, 32X, and TG16 carts, and had my Saturn games too, in jewelcases, papersleeves, etc, not those giant jewelcases of course, for space reasons. :) Since I now have more space I've moved the Saturn stuff out and put most of them in their cases, but the rest of that stuff is still in that drawer. The Genesis games are organized by genre.

That tub had claw feet, kind of neat...

I don't see very many games in those pictures... Confused

I see a level 4 disaster zone... Clean up this mess!

I see a huge pile of used kleenex on the bedside table.

I really hope it's because you have post-nasal drip.

My nose has been somewhat irritated for over ten years now, I think the last time I didn't have a slightly congested nose was in 10th or 11th grade of high school...and when I get a cold, it means weeks of a runny nose almost every time, not just days or something (This has always been true, ever since I was little). If I used a new tissue every time I need to blow my nose, I'd go through far too many. So I reuse them.

I tried some allergy medication once, it just reduced the amount of the nose irritation, it didn't get rid of it, so I didn't keep taking it for long. What's the point if it costs money like that and doesn't do much?

Yeah, I'm not exactly the neatest person am I... it is a little worse than usual there due to the packing, but I am somewhat messy. :)

I mean, I'm not going to pack up my consoles or controllers every time I use them or something, that'd mean it'd take much longer the next time I want to use them... so I have them hooked up all the time. It does mean that the controller cables get all tangled together, but nothing can be done about that, cords tangle when you put them within a few feet of eachother. And it's much easier than unpacking things every time or something like that.

I have one other pic with like four SNES carts visible, but yes, the thread title is more for whenever I get some more pictures taken, I think... at least most of the consoles are visible. And my computer.

How wonderful, a peek into ABF's personal life!

Claw feet on the tub, cool. And what cute curtains. The only problem I have is that musty rug on your nice hardwood floor. Some people work their entire lives to get a nice hardwood floor and would never think of hiding it like that.

Oh yeah, when it's on, the round dials and curved parts inside the 'metallic' strips on the door of my computer case glow, as do some things inside -- it's got a window on the side. Looks pretty cool, awesome bright green with glowing blue lights. Three glowing dials, with two vertical, slightly curving strips to the sides. :)

I had those curtains in my bedroom at home ever since I was little, I think my mom made them... I haven't put them up again where I am now, but I will soon. I like them. The front is blue with ducks, obviously, the back solid orange -- so they look different (colorwise) with light behind them than not, like in that picture since the light, obviously, merges the colors.

I love hardwood floors too, but it was somewhat necessary. The rental people said that you must put pads under chair legs, furniture, etc, and that seemed the best way to put something under the comfy chair... that and it doesn't cover the whole floor, just the center of it. And even though it's quite plain, it is green, so I like the color.

Here's some shots of my room:

Far too neat and tidy, I could never live like that... :)

Cool computer case.

That's much better. Everything in it's place. I don't know how you find anything ABF.

You have a lot of stuff GR.

Your room is too messy and unorganized, I could never live like THAT.

But this fall, they'll be forced to live... TOGETHER?!

God, I hope not.

Everything is in its place, each pile of stuff is separate. I know where things are. :)

Semi-organized piles of stuff on the floor/on tables/etc. is a perfectly valid organizational strategy!

I would say though, it's inherited. My mom and sister are also pretty messy people. Home to me is a place with piles of papers, books, newspapers, etc. everywhere... one other thing I see wrong with that room of GR's is not nearly enough paper, such as papers, books, etc. A room without a bookshelf full of books... I don't think that existed for us, or for me now. Flat surfaces are places to put piles of books and magazines on, after all. What better use for them could there be? :)

My organizational system is somewhere between ABF's and GR's. I mean, I like to keep my collection fairly tidy, but my computer desk usually ends up piled high with crap.

Maybe I'll get some pictures myself.

Books are to be piled up on the mini-fridge next to your bed and not read for months on end! I have spoken!
