Your Gaming Battlestation

Comment by The Strat Man, on 16.08.2012 at 16:03

Rearranged my setup after getting a new TV (Samsung 32" Series 5 LED HDTV). Got rid of the dual setup because the TV is massive and I needed proper speakers for my iMac. Got a nice cross-gaming/studio vibe. When I'm using music software with my guitar, I use the TV and HDMI out my iMac's software - got a separate wired keyboard and mouse on the unit permanently (I hate having to move the wireless one off the desk).

To the left I have my laptop (a bridge for internet access for my 360 and TV) and a bunch of games sitting above it.

32" Television. Razer Keyboard + Mouse. I use the chair as my mouse base (usually has a mousepad) and the keyboard sits on my lap. There is also usually an XBox 360 there but I'm packing to move. The computer is behind the television.

I hate you SirLink. Of all the games you had to show and you show one of my most wanted games... Dx

Here's my gaming setup (click the images to see full-size):

My Wii is behind my laptop. :P

There it is.

Just a few controllers and stuff.

Bookshelf with my games and DVDs on.. as you can see, I ran out of room and now have a nice pile of games and stuff. :D

Just a custom cover I made for LoZ: Collector's Edition. (I bought it without the inlay years ago)( Edited 17.07.2012 15:48 by Mush123 )

I don't actually have a desk (at least I wouldn't call that puny table that) and most of my other furniture is pretty damn old, some even older than me. My Wii is usually chilling out next to my PS3 but I don't have a Wavebird controller, so I always have to put it on the floor for the wires to reach when I play Gamecube games.

I quite like this setup, because I have both screens in my view and can easily chat or check on gaming news while playing something. Once I got some things sorted, I'd like to finally get myself a decent desktop PC. You aren't getting anywhere with an over 3 years old laptop nowadays, sadly. :lol:

I also have my laptop sitting on a fat natural sciences book because it sometimes overheats when it's directly on the table and have a dictionary as my mouse pad. Perfect ways to make those things useful, if you ask me. ;)

No fancy shelves on the walls for my games because my walls are pretty much full with wall scrolls and posters. I'm slowly running out of space with just these drawers here though. Already had to stack two of them just to have them all in on place.

Random screen I made from Paper Mario: TTYD because that area looks amazing.

Best one yet! That just screams fun, well done. :D
To be honest the ones posted before make me feel lonely. Maybe it's the lighting.

Well, I don't have a picture of my "battlestation," but my grandma bought this a long time ago for us grandkids out of a Sears catalog and it sits in my mind as the coolest/nerdiest videogame piece of furniture ever.

This isn't the actual one, just a picture I managed to find online.

The thing is sweet. The panel that has mario on it swings open to reveal shelves and storage and there are wheels on the bottom to easily move it around. She still has it at her house, front loading NES and all. (whenever we visit I still manage to sneak in a game of duckhunt.) :)

Quite like this setup but it's going to have to change, I need a new desk so I can put reference monitors either side of my iMac for when I'm using Logic. I also want a 40" TV which won't sit very snugly alongside the iMac in this setup.

Mine's not the best set up, but it's the best I can do until I eventually move out. Literally all crammed into one corner! N64's currently unboxed and on the floor while I play it - no other place for it otherwise! Not all games fit on the shelves, either - plenty of GB/GBA etc games stored elsewhere.

For now I'll just post my gaming shelves as my desk is a liittle cluttered atm (shouldn't take long to clear a bit though)

So here's a pic of my gaming shelves! As well as my brother's thumbs up (my brother approves of video games)

(click for fullsize)

That's Wii, PS3, 360, 3DS, PSP, PS2 on the left shelf, and GC, DS, DC and MD on the other. Not included are N64 and GB/GBC/GBA games because well their boxes didn't really hold-
(Also doesn't include bad games I decided were not worth the shelf space ;) mostly because they were chucked in the bin or given to charity)
I don't really have a PC so.. next pic will just be TV and consoles if I get around to taking it. Will also probably retake the pics of the shelves as they now have some cool figurines on them and a few more games :P

Thought this would be quite a nice thing to do on the forum, post pics of your battlestations that you may or may not be proud of! Note: May also offer incentive to clear desk!
We had a similar thread a while back but I can't locate it.

So, I'll drop mine below: My Loft Station...
