goldenpp72 | 1,243 Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Some months ago I patched up my game area in preparation for a BBQ, so a lot of it wasn't quite where I wanted it and is in the process of being updated here and there. I'm hoping to basically have it how I want it within some months, but I figured I could post the current shots and maybe post the final product later Here is a link to all the photos I have in that album but i'll post some in the main body too. If you have any questions or anything feel free, I answer anything I can. https://photos.app.goo.gl/d3mu5RRiv5DR9W7r5 3 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drxandy | 3,278 Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Dream setup! Really nicely organized dooood! I really like the freestanding shelf area containing the foosball, very library-esque Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like the freestanding shelf area containing the foosball, very library-esque It was surprisingly annoying to setup. We had a different setup in a similarly large area in our older house but this one was open concept, we had an initial plan but stupidly did not factor that light is a thing. The amount of times we had to reconfigure it to work with actual lighting was pretty mind numbing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m308gunner | 352 Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Great setup. Not too cluttered, and using the available space well. My only question. Is there actually room enough for pool ques around that pool table? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only question. Is there actually room enough for pool ques around that pool table? Yes but it does require some care. Actually the pool table is exactly where it was when we bought the house (it came with it) and we didn't really take up any extra space when working around it. We have shorter sticks and longer sticks depending on what you end up needing so it's still pretty functional. I tried to keep the more expensive things away from that area as well but since it's mostly just my fiancee and I down there, we know not to play like drunken fools. The stuff I put on the bookshelves on the side were purposely DS/3DS/PSP/Vita games because they are basically impossible to damage in that area as well Edited November 2, 2019 by goldenpp72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ausden | 323 Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Very nice set up you have there. Just remember to come upstairs for air every now and then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Soldier | 24 Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Beautiful setup and highly organized game collection. I love the layout of the room and the artwork and signs on the wall. I looked at your pictures for quite awhile reading the titles of the games in your collection. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldenpp72 | 1,243 Posted November 5, 2019 Author Share Posted November 5, 2019 I just put these up so please don't mind the fingerprints, i'll get better pics later. It is inspired by the game Portal, I saw someone on FB do something similar awhile back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VGCollectaholic | 111 Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 (edited) Amazingly well-done! Absolutely love the organization on everything. What shelving units are you using?

RH | 5,197 Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 (edited) An amazing collection paired with an amazing setup. Congrats on an exceptional collection and soooooo much CIB, all of it looking like it's in quality condition too. How long have you been collecting? EDIT Better question, who were you on NA? I recognize your avatar but I can't place it with the name. Edited November 6, 2019 by RH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What shelving units are you using? The height on them looks excellent. They are called Billy book cases from Ikea, which is a pretty popular sort of shelf for collectors. I like them because they are both inexpensive but also very sturdy for the price, you can also buy additional shelves for each case and they have slimmer versions to help fill in unusual gaps. They even sell corner hardware there to help solidify angled shelves into straight ones though I did not need to use them in my house here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recognize your avatar but I can't place it with the name. I believe every game that can have a box and manual does have one aside a couple exceptions (I think 2 or 3 games are missing manuals) and I do my best to keep the condition pretty good, some of them look brand new and others might be a 7/10 kind of condition depending, but I always try to get the best price for condition I can. I've been collecting around 10 years now, I began by buying a SNES with a complete Kirby Superstar and that just put this urge to start buying stuff. I started really slow just going to local spots and hitting eBay here and there but eventually I went on some pretty big spending sprees to bolster where it is. As another user kindly pointed out my username was the same on NA and I did indeed have a sizeable amount of those badges It was always fun to see them post a new series and to find what holes I had in my sets.

LastCat | 246 Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 How much do Billy book cases go for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldenpp72 | 1,243 Posted November 7, 2019 Author Share Posted November 7, 2019 1 hour ago, LastCat said: How much do Billy book cases go for? I believe 70 to 80 per case depending on the color. The handy thing is, while they do charge for shipping the shipping rate doesn't change the more you buy. If you measure the area you need you can get one shipped or 30 shipped and it will cost the same, saving a lot of work imo. It's particle board but is by far the strongest particle board I've ever seen. Doesn't bow even a tiny bit with a row of heavy books on it (I collect gaming art books too ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very nice I didn't get in at the earliest days but I went in hard when I got around to it.

Well I'm somewhat handy (not overly so but a bit), and my fiancee is crafty, so I guess with our powers combined it works out as such. I usually come up with the ideas or concepts and do the drilling/hanging/etc stuff, but she's the measuring crafty one. I'm also adept with hiding wires at this point 10 hours ago, bowser said: This is fantastic!
