Ikea rocks! Everytime im there im thinking gameroom and what shelves my games would look good in.

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.

Do you have a link to that Turbo poster?  That is all kinds of awesome

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.

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

Did some clean up in the garage:


Turn out the lights!

[PunkCryborg]

Majors I love that you have Gals Panic S running, great game

[RoyVegas]

At this point that's not a garage, it's an arcade.

[turboswimbz]

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

Did some clean up in the garage:

Some garage you have there.  Where the hell do you park the car?  Ha!

You'd be pretty disappointed to see my garage.  It has weird crap in it like drills and socket sets.  Oh, and a car!

No wonder the "City" cabs are hard to come by. Majors is buying them all.

 

[MrFlutterPie]

Nice arcade!

I only have garage

[roflmao]

Wow!

Bulk discount from Costco?

Maybe Majors just looks harder than you for them?

Majors gloms onto any candy he can find!

Just an update on this IKEA frame for anyone thinking of buying it - don't.  Last night I was playing some Pinball Arcade and the poster slipped inside the frame to the bottom.  The tabs that hold everything in place only hold the edges down, so because the Turbo Legacy poster doesn't fill the frame you can see wrinkling due to lack of 'press' in any place but the edges.  Back to the drawing board for this one.  I'm thinking of getting the poster laminated onto press board now.  Just not sure if I want to go this route as it use to cost about $100 to do it.
