My awesome Atari sitting on top of my super-sweet 20" TV! :p

Ok, so any serious gaming is done right on my MBP, but I got this for Christmas and I've been playing with it a little bit and reliving my childhood, only this time I don't have to fight with my older cousins to play!

It's pretty cool though. It's called the Atari Flashback II and it has 40 of the old Atari games built in. My favorite, as always, is Pitfall.

I have all my old gaming systems in storage and the PS3 is loaned out because there is nothing I want to play on it.

Nice Bong....

Thanks. My sherlock is in the photo too. :eek:
And no, I don't smoke the green stuff. (seriously) I was into smoking some herbal and other legal stuff a few months ago. I always wanted a bong; I wish I got one that was lot more colorful though.

the ps2 has a real nice compilation of 2600 games too.

OK, I decided not to be lazy and take some current pics of my gaming setup(s). I didn't clean or straighten anything out, but I will if somebody pays me to do it. Anyway, here we go:

setup01.jpg

Here is a poor, blurry shot of the HDTV setup from behind the couch.
The TV seems so small in this picture. It is a Sony KV-34XBR960 or some junk like that.

setup02.jpg

Moving in a little closer, we get to see how the camera flash makes it seem like
I live in a world of dust. I have the Xbox360 and the original Xbox here as well
as lots of AV components like a receiver, DVD player and other such nonsense.
I do have wireless 360 controllers, but I prefer wired since I don't have to worry about
recharging batteries and annoying things like that.

setup03.jpg

On the other side we see a cassette player (YEAH!!!) and a Super VHS. Below those are
the Sega Dreamcast, Nintendo Wii, Playstation 3 and Playstation 2. All systems are hooked
up via component video except the PS3, which is HDMI. Broadband Adapter on the DC.

setup04.jpg

A shot looking back at the shelf which holds some games and movie DVDs, etc.
You can also see 3 of the surround speakers in this picture. As you can see, I don't
really believe in small speakers. I desperately need a new couch.

setup05.jpg

This is in the basement where everything pre-Dreamcast is located since those systems work best
on TVs that can handle 240p properly. I have an extra PC down here because Windows® rocks tha hizzouse
and it is impossible to have too much Windows® due 2 itz XtrEmE awesomeness. Fortunately
it is rarely powered up. You can also see my Neo Geo AES and my Sega Genesis on the table.

setup06.jpg

To the right of the table are more awesome game systems. From top to bottom:
Super Nintendo, NES, TurboGrafx-16 CD-ROM with Arcade Card (optional),
Sega Saturn, Playstation (original model with A/V out) and on the bottom
(where it belongs) is the Nintendo 64. All systems in this room are hooked up via
component video except the PS1, which is s-video and the NES, which is composite.

setup07.jpg

Here is a shot looking back at my shelf of games. I am already out of space.
