Post a Pic of your Room

[Animeniax]

I think I mentioned this before, but I used to lift weights between rounds of CS. It was great until my arms would get tense and tired from the workout, at which point I couldn't move the mouse properly and would die easily in the game.

Is that at the parents' house, Kraco? Looks like they gave you the best room in the place. Have those trees produced any edible fruit?

[animus]

I see Horo on your desktop, Kraco. Good choice.

And like everyone said it looks rather nice.

[Kraco]

Heh. I moved out when I was 18. I'm living alone currently.

Nah, the trees haven't produced any fruit, not even flowers ever. I guess the bigger orange tree in theory could flower but I'm not any citrus tree expert so I can't really say. The avocado is an even bigger mystery.

[Buffalobiian]

First impression wasn't "a vile laboratory", but it does feel like you're a research scientist or something with all the neat, organised equipment, whiteboard etc. With the green plants and sunlight, it gives an idea that you may be a botanist, or other plant/wildlife researcher.

I rather like it.

[Archangel]

Heh. I moved out when I was 18. I'm living alone currently.

Wow, you moved out when you were 18? Pressure... To be honest the idea of moving out hasn't even crossed my mind, i'd like to have a stable job b4 doing something like that and living alone seems too... lonely.

[animus]

Been the same for me. Living alone is way to expensive, especially since I'm still going to college and not dorming.

I get free food, free rent, and free utilities. I guess it's a good thing that there's less pressure nowadays to live alone at 18, and more freedom to be stable first especially since NYC is hella expensive to live in.

[kAi]

Still bored and here is some pics of my room.

[Animeniax]

Egads, a CRT monitor?? Look at how much desk space you'd save with an LCD. And how cool would a nice poster be right over your desk? Or a mirror. A 52" flat panel would fill that nicely too.

Did Terra lend you that belt draped on the fan?

[kAi]

Yeah, I know, but I got the monitor for cheap $30, so I just got it. Soon I should be a getting a nice HD TV to fill up the rest of the space on the desk.

I've got some posters in the wardrobe and on top of the book case thing, but just too lazy to put them up, and don't have any blu-tack.

[Kraco]

Your bookshelf has everything but books... A nice and big window, though.

[Psyke]

Thought I'd post some pics of my bedroom, which has too much toys by the way. The TV can rotate to face the bed or the toilet, so I can actually watch TV while taking a crap.... :p

[Kraco]

In a few years you'll have to take extra care to preserve that formidable collection from the no doubt keen attention your heir will likely want to show to it.

[Animeniax]

How much would all of those Ultramen be worth if they were still in their original factory packaging?

When you say this is "your" bedroom, is it shared with your wife or is there another room that you consider the master bedroom? Because with your collection it looks more like a den type room.

[Psyke]

How much would all of those Ultramen be worth if they were still in their original factory packaging?

Shockingly, I never keep the original packages or tags because I don't buy them to resell later. I buy them for keeps, and if I don't feel like keeping them anymore chances are that I'll give them away.


When you say this is "your" bedroom, is it shared with your wife or is there another room that you consider the master bedroom? Because with your collection it looks more like a den type room.

It's actually 2 rooms combined into 1. Singapore flats are so small and expensive I've decided to combine the master bedroom together with another, and created a small walk-in wardrobe for my wife, which is just beside the toy shelves. This way, we have more space for the bed while having a small "entertainment" corner where I place my PS2 and DVDs. :D

[Animeniax]

Wow, because of another trick of the eyes I thought the two shelves were the same from different angles. Those are actually two separate shelves full of figures!!

I was kidding about the resale values of the figures. When I used to collect comics, my parents always bugged me about their resale value. They couldn't understand I bought them because I loved them, not as an investment. It was my fault though, since I had to justify all the money I spent on them, so I sort of told them it was an investment. I still kept them all in pristine condition though.

[complich8]

http://gallery.complich8.net/d/8463-2/In+the+house+_ground+floor_+1.jpg

I took that picture in August, shortly after moving here. It's still pretty much accurate ... except that I've got my guitar (a cheap strat knockoff, red) in the left-side corner, a minor increase in clutter, and a new chair. Also a bookcase and a printer stand that aren't in the picture. No changes that are worth taking another picture for...

I've been thinking of rearranging to somehow fit my stationary bike into the room, so I can watch tv shows while getting some exercise like I could in my last two places, but with the door, closet and vent placement and just the dimensions of the room and the furniture, I'm not finding any way I could make it work.

[sangai]

pyske im in love with your toys....


anyways i thought my room was pretty bad so ima clean it first before posting it and give everything a wipe down *dust in arizona is a daily problem.

[Kraco]

Pretty bold curtain colour you've got there, Complich. Looking good, albeit a bit cramped otherwise. I think a plant or two wouldn't hurt, either. You've got a window, after all.

[Eurasian]

Kraco and his plants

hehe

[Animeniax]

complich8 should get one of those Aerogrow kits, so he can have vegetation in the room and grow herbs for cooking at the same time.

I imagine your feet dangle off that bed...

I was thinking of putting a stationary bike in my room, but I wonder if it would funk up the place when you work up a good sweat.

The room in the picture does look like you just moved in. A guitar and more clutter would help liven it up a bit.

[Board of Command]

I just moved today and here's what my room looks like so far:

[Eurasian]

Great bedsheets BoC...I have those in red >.>
Overall, your room is really clean.

[Board of Command]

The floor is actually quite dusty because the place was just renovated a month ago, and I'm the first tenant.

[Assertn]

I see you've stashed a toilet paper roll there by your bed....
for safe keeping

[Board of Command]

There's more than one roll there.

Update: I got a Team Fortress poster from work today.

http://img404.imageshack.us/img404/6620/dscf0042ib0.th.jpg (http://img404.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dscf0042ib0.jpg)

[Animeniax]

Ahh freebies. That's the x-factor when deciding on a company to work for. That, and whether or not they have hot secretaries and receptionists.

Your new room is a little bland, BoC, but understandable since you just moved in. The poster helps though. Is it a dorm room or apartment or something?

[Board of Command]

It's a house.

[Sandldan]

Here we go, after throwing out ½ of everything that's just been left in my room since my childhood it got alot spacier. Here's the result

My computer and ps3, got my ps3 hooked up to my 19" monitor but thinking of buying another bigger. Would be nice with 2 monitors when editing.

Looks rather spacious indeed. I like how the furniture and spaciousness gives it a clean cut feel, but you've still got the odd messiness that makes it your home.

[Board of Command]

Hey you got the same headphones as me.

[Board of Command]

I picked up a couple of wall scrolls yesterday at Anime North. Now my room doesn't look as empty. There was also a pretty good Wolf's Rain one but I forgot to buy it.

[Sandldan]

Sweet, both looks nice. Love the FLCL one.
Would really want to get some nice wall scrolls for my room to replace the rasterbations. But unfortunately there's around 300km to the nearest store selling them i believe

[KrayZ33]

hey, that flcl one looks *really* nice!

Do all wall scrolls have so nice colours? because I can't remember seeing a poster with such a *clear* picutre on it... it nearly looks like it's displayed on a computer screen, nice.

[Board of Command]

It doesn't look as smooth and clear when you see it up close, since you can see all the grainy details.

I picked the better looking ones. There were a whole bunch of Naruto and Bleach ones that don't look nearly as good, or as artistic.

[KrayZ33]

really? thats actually pretty hard to believe... unless you are like 10 cm in front of it

[Board of Command]

Yeah, that's what I meant. You have to put your face real close and examine the details. I'm sitting about 2 m away right now and they look pretty good. I'd need hawk eyes to see the grains from here.

Basically, it looks like those inkjet details when you examine it up close.

Yeah, if you're asking if you should buy a poster or a wall scroll, buy a wall scroll. They're durable, easy to transport, and like you said, have nicer image quality.

[Board of Command]

I've seen some nice posters. Wall scrolls are a lot bigger though. You can't hang too many in your room since each one takes so much space.

But they're definitely a lot easier to transport. It's really hard to move a paper poster around without damaging it.

[Board of Command]

I got a Ruby poster today. It's actually pretty small.

Is this for target practice, motivation, or are you a double agent?

For anyone who's interested, Nvidia stock is down to a low of under $12 a share. They've spent the last two years mostly in the $20-40 range. I wouldn't say buy now since there is still some bad news on the horizon, but once the price stabilizes, you should check it out.

Lazie, might I ask where you got that picture of MegaMan from? I always wanted something from the Legends series for my room.

[Buffalobiian]

That would be something akin to my dream room. Very nice.

[RedX1z]

That's too nice of a room, everything is neatly organized, but it seems like you didn't take a picture of the other half.

[ChaosK]

Yeah..considering your bed is nowhere to be found...:p

[darkshadow]

he could have a second room like me, where he sleeps.

[LaZie]

Lazie, might I ask where you got that picture of MegaMan from? I always wanted something from the Legends series for my room.

Well my sister works at Hollywood Videos and they had some game posters they didn't need anymore so she took them and gave it to me. I have some other posters in my room as well. Maybe i'll take some more pictures tomorrow.


Oh and there is a bed, I just didn't want to take a picture of that corner of the room. :p

Does the surround sound system work well enough with the rear speakers still in front of you?

[6Zabuza9]

It still works if u get use to it. Like, basically sound coming from the very left or right of you is behind you.

[LaZie]

@6Zabuza9 - I see you have a small collection of shot glasses. :p

Here's the other half of my room, although my room isn't that big. I just installed a cheap 5.1 surround sound system in my room. :cool:

Wow nice rooms you guys have. Makes me nostalgic for the simpler days of living at home with the parents. I never had so much stuff though, especially the electronics. When I get my own place, my PC and game consoles will occupy my living room, whether the gf cares or not (if I have a gf anyway).

[Lucifus]

Well, its come to my attention I've never actually posted my room before.
My new case prolly prompted this. Here ya go.

How are those headphones? I was trying to pick a set last week, and I couldn't decide. Ended up settling for a pair of Plantronics 370.

@Bill - I actually just got that headset this past monday and I have no complaints. Very comfortable after long hours of play, and a crystal clear microphone.

@ Nad - I like being organized. I even organize my por...chicken.

It has an unexpected cozy feeling (that I like) which the first pic alone does not suggest. I can't imagine how I'd live without being able to tuck my legs under the computer desk however.

Mmm, it is nicely aligned, with a book shelf that's actually full of books (unlike mines).

[Archangel]

Your robot dolls beg to differ? O_o

[Buffalobiian]

Is there no alternative by to put that screen so close towards the edge of the desk? It looks..uncomfortable.

[darkshadow]

Elaborate uncomfortable.

[Nadouku]

Dang, that's a lot of games you got there. I barely have like half of what you got. :(

[Buffalobiian]

Elaborate uncomfortable.

Too close?

[darkshadow]

I still don't get what you mean. If you mean that it looks as if it may fall, then no the base of the monitor that carries the full weight of it actually rests completely on the desk.
If you mean the way I tilted it, then well I like it tilted, makes it easier to look at.

@Nad
I guess that is what it means to build up a collection ;P.

[Buffalobiian]

I meant the TV then. I thought it was a monitor.

[Lucifus]

How do you like the two monitor setup? I've tried before with two different monitors and my hdtv. I just had no use for it and went back to the old setup.

[darkshadow]

Well they are both monitors >_>. And no I hate having a screen really far away from me, what's the point of that.

@lucifus
I can't go back to single setup, dual monitors is just fantastic.

[Animeniax]

Wow ds, nice spread, though about the same as before? Have you considered trading in all of those older games for some credit for new ones? Or do you not have Game Stop stores in your area, or just no interest in selling the games? I traded in 8 games for $200, which I used to buy 4 more games. Pretty sweet deal.

I just bought a house, so I'll take pictures of my room (computer room) once it's all set up.

[darkshadow]

Nah, I swore to myself that I would not sell anything games related again, I'm just going to keep building and building my collection.
I was bummed that I sold my dreamcast ( which I rebought) and I'm still bummed I sold most of my xbox games ( that's why there are only like 4 in the picture obscured by the black/golden gundam, i had 28 ;'[ ).

Anyway get with the pictures already ;].

Is it for sentimental value or do you play them now and then?

I have to actually close the sale and move in before I can decorate and take some pictures. Could be a month or so.

What was that, a month ago?

[darkshadow]

Well both I guess, and because I just want to build a library of entertainment, thats why I buy even pc games at retail, Steam and such are nice and all, but it lacks the physical factor that I appreciate.

[XanBcoo]

I just moved out of my apartment. If any of you saw the pictures I posted of my room last year, you can guess it was a pretty big ordeal cleaning up and getting everything out of there.

I have some serious pack-rat tendencies. I didn't want to throw a lot of stuff away because I thought they might be useful in the future or I had some sentimental attachment to them. In the end I had to recycle it all:

367 water bottles
http://img220.imageshack.us/img220/1962/waterbottles3.th.jpg (http://img220.imageshack.us/i/waterbottles3.jpg/)

I actually had more protein powders and mass gainers than this, but loads were thrown away by my mom and ex-girlfriend:
http://img403.imageshack.us/img403/8809/seriousass.th.jpg (http://img403.imageshack.us/i/seriousass.jpg/)

I wanted to build a cashew tin robot. This was all I could manage:
http://img232.imageshack.us/img232/1703/0809091716.th.jpg (http://img232.imageshack.us/i/0809091716.jpg/)

No, none of these were stacked throughout the year. They were strewn around my room or piled below my desk. I am horrible :(.

[Nadouku]

Wow, it looked like it could probably last anyone a year or two. Looks tidied up, at least.

[Buffalobiian]

Haha, the bottles made me think Xan's building an army of bottles. In South Australia, you get a 5c refund per bottle (10c for big ones) at collection sites. Did you get anything for yours?

[XanBcoo]

Haha, the bottles made me think Xan's building an army of bottles. In South Australia, you get a 5c refund per bottle (10c for big ones) at collection sites. Did you get anything for yours?
Yeah, I vaguely thought I'd be able to do that, but I had a table in my car and 2 hours to move out so I just put them in the recycling bin.

I did want to do something artistic with them, I guess I just didn't have time. Never too late to start again though!

[Kraco]

Haha, the bottles made me think Xan's building an army of bottles. In South Australia, you get a 5c refund per bottle (10c for big ones) at collection sites. Did you get anything for yours?

Over here you get 40 cents from 1.5-2 liter bottles, 15 c from beverage cans, 10-20 c from smaller bottles, and 10 c from the myriad wine and other alcohol bottles from the alcohol stores. So, it's not really economically wise to store them overly much (because you may have paid even 40 cents for the container alone when purchasing the drink). Although I do have a bunch of 1.5l soft drink bottles I have kept aside for my automatic plant watering systems and a bunch of wine bottles I use to store mead when I make it.

[KitKat]

Wow Xan....just wow. That sounds like it was a pretty monumental cleanup, if you unearthed so many empty bottles and containers.

I should probably snap a picture of my room before I move again. I've been moving once or twice a year for the past few years, so I haven't bothered to update my pics in this thread recently.

[KitKat]

Well, as promised, here are some pictures of my room where I lived this summer. I'll be here until the weekend, at which point I'm moving down the street. The nice part about this house was that it's all furnished. Starting next week though I'll need to scrounge my own furniture, so I might be sleeping on a pile of blankets on the floor for a bit until I find a free/cheap bed.

Anyhow, here's my current setup - I've got my dual monitors back! I found these both on craigslist, and they're exactly the same model, so I was pretty pleased about that.
http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d125/engphysgirl/P3240004.jpg

The closet is pretty huge. If I was a kid, I would totally make it my clubhouse.
http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d125/engphysgirl/P3240003.jpg

And here is the landing, with my favourite window.
http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d125/engphysgirl/P3240005.jpg

This is the view out the aforementioned favourite window. That cluster of buildings you can see is downtown Vancouver. On clear days, you can see all the mountains behind the city. I'm going to miss this view.

[Nadouku]

Nice, it really captures the calmness. What's that sign on the second picture say?

[Buffalobiian]

LASERS AHEAD!! :p

That's a very nice setup you've got there KitKat. It's got a good balance between tidiness and cozy/homeliness. The red&white walls contrast with the wooden floorboards and furniture, resulting in an interesting mix of modern and olden feel to the room. I would miss it too if I had to move out.

[Kraco]

The laser warning sign is totally fitting for KitKat, naturally. I like it.

Looked like a nice room despite the tilted ceiling and the blaring red walls.

[Board of Command]

I went to FanExpo in Toronto this afternoon and got three new wallscrolls.

[Archangel]

Were those expensive?

[Board of Command]

$55 total

Those wallscrolls were all I bought at the convention.

[Archangel]

Ouch, a bit pricey...

But i want to fap to that AC poster, that's how sexy it is O_O

[Board of Command]

My budget for the day was originally $40. I went over the budget to get that one because I bought the other two first at a different vendor.

[Buffalobiian]

Does anybody have dusty rooms? Dust-free rooms? Tips on how to reduce dust?

Mine's pretty dusty IMO, and it's really annoying. I'm not near any busy roads, but the dust still builds up on my furniture.

[Sapphire]

I've moved twice since the last time I posted a pic of my room, so here is my (dorm) room!

It appears to be lacking wall scrolls, sapphi

[Animeniax]

Wow, looks comfy and homey, Sapphy. Looks like you swiped those chairs from a common room though. For shame!

[Kraco]

I don't see a single plant. So sad.

But it looks otherwise decently comfy like Ani said.

[korre]

My room, in my parents basement. :D
Excuse my cellphone camera. :(

[Sapphire]

Beautiful desk!

[Penner]

That table is awesome.

[Nadouku]

Basement? It looks really nice, man.

[Buffalobiian]

@Sapphi: Very homely indeed. Whatever happened to all those wallscroll requests? I haven't seen a stove-top kettle in ages! It has a rather nostalgic feel. :o

@korre: Does your basement get much airflow? Regardless, I see you've set your self up a very enjoyable getup.

[korre]

@sapphire, @Nadouku, @Penner: Thx! :D

@Buffalobiian: It does get airflow, only not as much as one would like, can't sleep with my door closed, air gets stuffy :D And as for the getup, Investments for a future apartment. Painted the room myself :)

[Psyke]

I took some new shots around my flat (http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=182097&id=536385288&l=3faea1162d) today :)

Holy shit, that is awesome.

Had to relocate stuff due to Rena's curious hands?

Or teeth?

[Psyke]

Yeah some adjustments are along the pipeline. :(

[samsonlonghair]

Cool figures. What manga do you collect?

[Psyke]

Cool figures. What manga do you collect?

I don't have a lot of series, basically Dragonball, Naruto, Bleach, SlamDunk, Conan, and a bunch of other short titles such as Deathnote, SF, etc etc.

[lilphatboi88]

I'm more interested in the layout of your room :)

[rockmanj]

That is an absolutely obscene amount of figurines!

[Buffalobiian]

Dude, cool fridge. I'd like to see a picture of its contents. Do you eat tofu?

Amazing collection of Sentai and Kamen Rider Figures, i'm so jealous!

[Lucifus]

Update on my room. Still have a bunch o work to do on her.

An airplane my uncle made outta cans; its pretty awesome, propellers always spinning.

He has too much time on his hands.

Few more shots.

[Penner]

Dude, i have the exact same Cooler Master tower, nice ^^

[Kraco]

I like the fact you seem to have no extra stuff in the room and what you have is neatly ordered. I've always dreamt of a room like that. I don't believe in any feng shui but it seems to me a room like that would be beneficial to both concentration and relaxation.

Although it seems to be a damn small room.

[Buffalobiian]

Damn you! How I want glass furniture!!

Neat as always Lucifus :D.

The entropy of my room is like water. A neccecity for life (or my life, so it seems).

Any attempt to order it will prove futile within 3 days, meaning I have to clean it bi-weekly to keep it tidy, or weekly to keep it generally tidy. Any less frequent then you might as well clean it once every few months, since it'll be no different :p.

[fahoumh]

Dude, i have the exact same Cooler Master tower, nice ^^
And I just put together a computer for my cousin 2 weeks ago with the same tower...weird.

[Buffalobiian]

http://forums.gotwoot.net/attachment.php?attachmentid=296&d=1267488866

It just occurred to me that there's some sort of recess between your door and the main hallway/corridor. Does that serve some kind of purpose, or is that a common design feature where you live? I've never seen it.

[Lucifus]

Ah, Its actually a bit bigger than it looks in the photo. Take a left to my restroom. ^^

[Penner]

Theres another door "inside the archway" to the left then? or am i just confused? :P

[Assertn]

He's saying it's a hallway...

[Penner]

If thats a hallway its the smallest one i've ever seen, no matter how i look at the pic it just doesn't look "deep/long" enough to be a hallway... might just be the angle of the photo though, its like a damn optical illusion O.o

[Buffalobiian]

Not mine, but I wish it was. :o

Interestingly shaped room, I have to say. But looking at the dakimakura with all the creases it's obvious ironing doesn't belong to the repertoire of otaku skills.

[Penner]

Good lord that is alot of anime merchandise, im kinda impressed :P

[Animeniax]

This guy will be applying to marry a 2-D character when he turns 18.

[Archangel]

Where the fuck do these people get their money from?

[Death BOO Z]

they sell pictures of their room?
maybe they charge people for staying there, like an hotel room?
although, they are probably in the business of merch themselves. vendors, designers, quality checkers... but still, tidying all those posters up, that requires style...

[itadakimasu]

My wife just painted "my room". Of course, when you're married you end up sharing your room :)

[itadakimasu]

It's the handle to the vacuum.

Apparently something heavy got set on my shelves in the "cleaning" process. I have to organize all of that and put it in the closet.

[Alhuin]

So which desk is yours? I tried looking for signs in both pics as to who would most likely have what, but I was unable to notice anything.

[itadakimasu]

Mine is the glass one w\ MW2 on the monitor :)

I finally got around to organizing my room. Ignore the boxes, they're my roommates.

Wtf is the toothpaste and the toothbrush doing there?

[XanBcoo]

To get the awful taste out of her mouth after watching The Big Bang Theory.

[Sapphire]

Where else would I put it? In the bathroom so stranger's poopoo particles can spray all over it?

@Xan - I'm watching it 'cuz I heard Sheldon got a girlfriend.

[Buffalobiian]

I don't think I'll be happy with a room mate.

[Sapphire]

My roommate kept waking me up to say how proud of me she was for cleaning the room. I can't clean the floor till she moves the boxes though, lolz.

@Buff: Having a roommate isn't bad. You get used to it then you miss them when they're gone. :( Plus you have another person to appreciate your posters.

[Xelbair]

I think that having roommate is the worst thing possible - i can stand someone for week or two, but not longer.
you can always get your friends to admire your posters of awesomeness(tm).

[Animeniax]

Depends if you mean roommate as in sharing the same dorm or single room apartment. If you have a roommate where you have your own private rooms and share the living areas, then that's ok. Of course, if they are a slob in the kitchen, that's a deal-breaker.

[Sapphire]

I share my kitchen with 12 girls.

[Animeniax]

I share my kitchen with 12 girls.

Do you live in a co-op where you cycle responsibilities (cooking, cleaning, etc)?

[Sapphire]

More or less. The problem isn't cleanliness, it's how crowded the fridge is. I go downstairs and use the boy section of the Japanese Visual Culture floor's fridge.

[Buffalobiian]

Depends if you mean roommate as in sharing the same dorm or single room apartment.

We're talking about a roommate in the same room having sex while you hide under your sheets and type about it over the internet. :rolleyes:

[Sapphire]

KUKUKUKU You remember that?

My RA has sex so loud that you can literally hear it from outside the suite. From the elevator.

Haven't used the G15 so I can't really comment on it, but all I know is this G19 is the best keyboard I've ever had! The mouse mat is a Razer Vespula.
