That's more a home theater than a gaming setup, but it's absolutely incredible either way.  What kind of speakers do you have?

 Anyway, I'm stuck in a bedroom for my gaming setup, but I'm convinced that I've got the absolute best setup I can have given those constraints... (wait till you guys see the updated pictures.)

So yeah... I've got all the current systems out there, all the last gen systems, and all the portables that matter (aka: PSP and DS, but no NGAGE)... and I still find that the PC is absolutely trouncing everything this year.  Seriously, there's been more good stuff on the PC so far this year than all the other systems combined.

Yeah, I've heard that I really need to play the first game before the second game... I'm asking about how well the games have aged because the first game is kinda expensive and I don't want to drop the cash for that if the game isn't really anything special anymore. Just out of curiosity, how high does the resolution go in these games?

Somehow, I completely missed out on the Baldur's Gate series.  I didn't play either one of them, but I did pick up the Baldur's Gate II Collection from Amazon yesterday (had a deal where it was like... $7.99.)  So are these games still worth playing today?  Have they aged well?

It's the 26" Bravia XBR1. That's the best model offered in that size.

Haven't posted on Gamespot in a looong while now... wow.  But, I'm back with new collection pics. My collection isn't quite so **** now. In fact, it's pretty damn 1337 AZN (Well, I like to think so.) I don't have as much stuff as a lot of people though simply because I'm hanging onto only the games that I need to have... not the mediocre or merely decent stuff. Anyway, here's the stuff:

A picture of a door. How quaint.

Actually, asshat, it is. See, when you open a door with a poster of Kokoro from DOA4 on it, you know you're about to enter a moderately **** up place.

Well where's teh **** games?

On teh **** shelves. Like it's that difficult to comprehend.

Well, I need more detail. Show me that shelf on the left.

That's the one with most of the games.

I still need more detail.

Haven't opened Last Blade 2: Final Edition, Metal Gear Solid: VR Missions, Parasite Eve, or Parasite Eve 2

Haven't opened Contra: Shattered Soldier, Disgaea, Disgaea 2, or Gradius V

Haven't opened Tales of the Abyss, Valkyrie Profile 2, ESPGaluda, Final Fantasy X International, or Sega Ages Vol. 25: Gunstar Heroes Treasure Box

Haven't opened Mega Man Anniversary Collection (played the hell outta it on PS2), Splinter Cell: DA (Xbox), Wind Waker, or Paper Mario

Haven't opened Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops or Ah! My Goddess The Movie (Yes, there's more games, not just teh *** crap.)

Good enough for you?

No. Now the other shelf. And I wanna see more on those nonsense letters *** games.

I'll have more on the *** Crap later, more shelf!

Haven't opened Vagrant Story, Final Fantasy III, Mario & Luigi PiT, or Yoshi's Island DS

Haven't opened any of Chrono Crusade, or Cowboy Bebop Remix Vols. 5 and 6

Haven't opened Eureka Seven Vol. 1

Haven't opened Gankutsuou Vol. 1

Haven't opened any of Heat Guy J

Soo.... that's it? You just quit after the letter "H?"

Use some goddamned common sense, you **** I need new shelves so that I can store all my stuff effectively. But for now... the closet!

Whoa whoa whoa! The closet? I'm sure you've got some skeletons in your closet... either that or 8 year old girls.

You're wrong on the first one.

Haven't opened any of Last Exile, My-Hime Vol. 5, Nadesico (EA) Vol. 3, Noein Vol. 1, any of Paranoia Agent, or any of Requiem From the Darkness

Haven't opened Scrapped Princess Vol. 3, any of Tsukihime, or Vandread Vol. 1

That's not all of my GBA games. There's some that are still in the box.

Then where are those?

You need to learn patience. I hope that someday your lack of patience results in you getting hit by a car.

PC Boxes are there as well... as anyone with vision can see.

And... assorted other boxes. Ignore Time Crisis, I'm selling that.

So lik... those *** games you have.

Oh right. People ask about those because they don't know what the hell they are. Well... here's some pics:

Row 1: Dodonpachi Daioujou, Espgaluda, Final Fantasy X International, Garou: Mark of the Wolves, King of Fighters XI

Row 2: Melty Blood: Act Cadenza, Mushihime-Sama, Neo Geo Battle Coliseum, Sega Ages Vol. 25: Gunstar Heroes Treasure Box, Under Defeat

Row 3: Tales of Eternia, Last Blade 2: Final Edition, Shenmue II, Nintendo Puzzle Collection

Some stuff to note: Tales of Eternia and Shenmue II are European imports. ToE is the same thing as Tales of Destiny 2 on the PS1, except the PSP version is better. Sony decided we didn't need the game in the US, so I imported it from Europe. Shenmue II's English dub sounded like the Devil shouting at you. The European import of the DC version has English subtitles and Japanese voices. It's sad we don't see more of these fighters and shmups here because these are easily some of the most thrilling games to play. And because people really seem to like pics of imports:

Okay, so what do you play this crap on?

Why... these fine electronics:

Currently hooked up would be the Playstation 2 via component cables, the Xbox 360 via component cables, the Wii via component cables, the Dreamcast via composite cables (gotta find something else) and the Oppo DV-981HD (fantastic DVD player by the way) via HDMI. I have an Xbox and a SNES that aren't pictured here. The Xbox was too **** big so I threw it in the closet. I placed the SNES gently in the closet since it didn't try and oppress me with it's size and weight like the Xbox did. What a bastard.

OLOLOLOLOOLOL WTF is that POS TV LAWL.

What I've played games on for the last 9 years. Until recently:

Yeah, that's a mini-fridge to the left. I have Frappucino's in there because I'm classy.

I also have a computer, like most people outside of Azerbaijan:

I built it myself. It's got an DFI Lanparty Ultra-D mobo, a Athlon 64 4000+, 2GB of OCZ Platinum RAM, a factory OC-ed XFX 7800GTX, and a Sound Blaster X-Fi. I'm prolly gonna swap out the video card next fall when DX-10 start to have a major presence.

WIDESHOTS!!?!?

 

Aaaannnd.... that's it. The end of this epic journey that shall not be taken again until the Summer. Not too bad for an unemployed college student.  The next things I'll be getting are a PS3 (of course) and an HT setup (with good components. You'll see.) Additional pics can be taken upon request. Phew, that took longer than I thought.

My setup

Judging from your shelf, you stay pretty damn current with what you buy. And I respect somebody who gets stuff right away. I'm posting new pics prolly in a month or so. I finally replaced the crappy TV from my old pics and I got a ton of imports that I didn't before. I ran out of space on my shelves so hopefully I'll get something new before I take revised pics.

Oh, I finally got a new TV... it's really damn nice, too. I'll maybe post a pic in a while, but I haven't moved the other TV so it's a bit of a mess. It's the 26" Bravia XBR LCD. Haven't had any issues with ghosting in 2D games either which is a godsend.
