It's been a while since I've posted in this thread.  If you don't remember, this is what it looked like before;



I decided to paint the room grey and finally framed my awesome Cafepress poster.  Here's the result;





I'd still like to frame up some other items, but I think it's coming along pretty nicely considering it's only a 10 x 8 room in my basement.  The picture really doesn't capture the awesomeness of the room.  :(

I spot IKEA :)  I have the same shelves but in white and the same glass CD cabinet.

Thanks guys!

I spot IKEA :)  I have the same shelves but in white and the same glass CD cabinet.
The room is sponsored by IKEA. ;)

IKEA in the room includes;

The black PS3 shelf on the right (recent purchase).
The black glass CD shelf circa late 1990's.
The silver/wood shelves on the left bought in early '01.
The silver framed CafePress TG poster on the right (recent purchase).
The silver magnet board in the far left corner (recent purchase).

The apartment size couch I think is from Leon's, but it might be Loblaws.  Bought it used off Kijiji.  The inexpensive furniture keeps Mrs. Quid happy and allows me to spend the money on more games.

I think I'm going to spend some money and get an Asteroids mural going on the back wall.  I loved playing Asteroids on Atari back as a kid;


This might look good too, or a variant of it.  It's something simple I could just print out myself.

Asteroids! I loved that as a kid (and now). I never thought of that as the subject for a mural. It's totally do-able! Not nearly as intimidating as, say, a billion plastic beads recreating R-Type.

http://www.cafepress.com/pcenginefx.260707543

It was designed, I think, by the forum creator Aaron Nanto. :) If you go to the root of this site and dig around, you'll also find a link to it along with some other wares.

I thought of doing the million bead R-Type mural, but the wall decals are more cost effective.  :lol:

Scroll all the way to the bottom.  FYI... No Pyramid Plunder on the poster (or Insanity).  :-$

At this point that's not a garage, it's an arcade. 
All is well. :)

I enjoy the chair choices!  but seriously that is one heck of a nice set up.  :D Homecade.

BT: Look at how the fake SFII' carts instantly sold out and were immediately listed on eBay before the flippers even took possession. Look at Nintendo's overpriced bricks. Look at the typical forum discussions elsewhere.

You can't tell most retro gamers anything!
