Apparently you know exactly what I'm talking about... I was saying these kids can afford to fill their room up with expensive gear because they have no idea what real life is, and live off mommy & daddy well into their twenties, call their bedroom their mancave and spend their part time job money on junk. I could understand living at home while going to school (I didn't do that though) or maybe moving back in if times got tough, but to live at home buying up luxury entertainment items (not future-life items like appliances or furniture) is pathetic and all too common. I see crazy amounts of full grown men hanging out beside their supe'd up honda civics in McDonald's parking lots into the late hours of the night because they can't take their skanks back to their "mancave", pretty greasy considering they don't buy anything from McDicks. lol @ anyone defending this.

Can you sound anymore of an asshole than that? Seriously, what a person does with his/her income is the person's own business. It shouldn't be any of your concern.
 
I guess I am a dick then because it irks me that people are proud of their trinkets, but not proud enough to actually forge their own way through the best years of their life. Bitter? Sure. Wrong? Not a chance.

It is like Debeers being proud of how they got all those diamonds out of those African mines...

My new 60" Kuro Elite. Not the greatest picture of the setup, but I put too much cash into the TV to get a decent camera. What can you do?

Is that an Aperion 633? If so, what do you think of them?

edit: Nevermind, I'm looking a little more closely and it doesn't look like that speaker has a Piano finish.

No, buying consoles and video games are hobbies here. This is a fucking video game forum.

If you don't like gaming, buying games, and playing them, why the fuck are you here? I am proud of my "trinkets". That's what this thread is about, showing off your rig. And who are you to say how I should spend my money? Or anybodies money for that matter?

Seriously. Who are you to even assume that said items weren't earned? Get off of your pedestal.
 
God I was doing everything in my power to ignore that nut job. Thank you, whoever you are.
 
Where to start? First off, the camera has been taking terrible pictures lately, no doubt due to my girlfriend dropping it three times in the span of 30 minutes.
As to be expected most people are tidying up before their photos so I thought I’d go against the grain and take a picture exactly as it is now. Yeah I’m a slob, what? Dinner plate and empty beer from last night. Got some folded laundry on the love seat and the bits of fuzz all over the place is stuffing my dog loves to pull out of her toys.

lol at comparing Blood Diamonds to video game Hardware.

It takes all kinds! Too bad he got banned, I would have bet good money that he's some schlep from the suburbs who thought he was hardcore because he moved out for college.

What a simpleton. :lol

Thanks though I wish I felt the same way. Quite a few people had problems with their XBR1’s optical block going bonkers, producing a nasty greenish haze on the screen. Enough that a class action lawsuit was brought against Sony so they agreed to pay to replace that component. Only problem was that people then reported a softer picture after swapping out the defective part. My TV never hinted at any of those problems until just recently, just days out of the protection. I can only see it during gray scenes and it’s feint, but it’s definitely there.

Your phone camera has one helluva flash on it :lol

Yeah :lol its got this annoying camera flash light thingie on it. Tried fixing in MS Picture manager; think it made it worse :lol

It's one of them Sony Ericsson cybershot cameras.
 
I love this thread. I use it as a catalog of stuff to buy, especially home entertainment centers. I'll try to post my setup this week.

I've never seen someone shit up these setup threads so hard in my entire time on GAF. That was an absolutely insane meltdown.

Now we can get back to the matter at hand: telling people to dust their setups, hide the wires, and buy bigger shelves!
 
RBH said:
What kind of stand is that?
It's by Bell'o, and I think that this is the exact model - AVSC-2061E. I was going to go BDI, but it was just less hassle to get this stand delivered and installed by the same shop that I bought the TV at.

That ps3 looks unbelievably good. Makes me wonder why Sony doesn't use that same matte finish for the regular models.

Thanks man. That's me! :D

It's an XCM Black Knight case.

That was the first thing I did when I got my JP Wii nearly 3 years ago. Crazy how Nintendo finally released an actual one (but fucking super shiny). I think the XCM case is shiny enough, plus you get the black stand.

I also have a Chrome Wii as well.
 
Well, I've finally finished the construction at my house, and my gaming set up, too.

It's taken quite a while, and a lot of hard work, but here it is:

Here's to 10 year life cycles!
 
This is going to be one of the most useful threads for me as I'm investing in a 5.1 or 7.1 sound system before around October (want to get the full "HD" experience in by at least this fall's game rush! :lol - already got top quality large HDTV done thankfully)

So where would be the best place to order home theater furniture? I'm thinking of a multiple layer glass setup, with the top one holding the HDTV, the lower ones holding game consoles, receiver, etc.
Probably looking towards online shopping since the selections near me are not that great.

Digging the look of the setup/room...the room has that "old school" look to it yet the setup is "new school"...blends new and old together, while retaining that comfortable look. I like it! Looks like a nice place to kick back with some people.

I can't tell from your pics, but are you sure the PS3 isn't just bitstreaming the core DTS track and not the DTS-HD track? A lossy, core DTS track is contained in the DTS-HD tracks, and the PS3 can bitstream vanilla DTS just fine. The PS3 cannot bitstream any of the lossless codecs.


lol sorry to add such a reply but basically:

-PS3 can decode ON BOARD True HD & DTS Master Audio
-It sends to it to the AV receiver via HDMI ONLY, as 7.1 multi-channel Linear Pulse Code Modulation (LPCM) not bitstream
-The AV receiver will only see this as LPCM
-The receiver will play LPCM in similar quality to when it's self decodes the HD audio..the difference is minimal
-LPCM is lossless, and is still classed as HD audio
