Telltale Cribs!

edited September 2011 in General Chat
[I Accidentally posted this in Forum Games an hour or so ago, but I figured it would be easier for me to just repost it here than wait for a moderator to notice and move it. So yeah, there's a thread in Forum Games that needs deleting >.>]

"Cribs" is a word we hip folk use to mean habitat. Just to let you know.

So, we've got a desktop thread, now it's time for a thread where you can post your actual desktop so we can see where you all fall on the ten-point-slob-rating. Just post pictures of your room, home, office, whatever.

If you want, you can post a video of you walking around and awkwardly saying stupid things like "um, so, uh... this is, like... my bed... um... it's kinda warm, I guess". People did that on another forum I used to go to a couple of years ago, it was pretty funny.

Without further inane rambling, here's my room:

crib1.png

This is my desk.

1. I use an HDTV as my computer screen as well as my TV screen. It was only about £30 because the audio jack was broken. Little did they know, I wasn't planning on using the audio jack! Muhahaha!

2. This is where most of my food goes.

3. Incidentally, this is where most of my drink goes.

4. This is the laptop I use as a computer. It's pretty awesome. If by awesome you mean terrible. I also have the whole multi-monitor thing going on at the moment, but I don't usually use that. It's too much hassle to set up (did I mention my computer was terrible?).

crib2.png

The view you'd get if you walked in on me trying out my invisibility cloak. Aawkwaard.

1. This is my chair. I use it for sitting and spinning. Like most of my crap, it's had one previous owner.

2. I blu-tacked a load of notes on my wall for the psychology course I'm doing at college. Hopefully this will mean I don't fail too hard.

3. A Megaman X poster.

4. This little wooden guy doesn't have a name. Name him! Name him or I lose your respect!

5. This is where I keep hefty amounts of crap. At the moment, there's the pen for my Wacom tablet, half a milkshake, two remote controls, my wallet, a stapler, a hole-punch, a kazoo, some scissors, some loose change, the plastic vacuum pack thingy my headphones came in, a super important top secret letter from the government and a screen cleaner.

6. Yeah, my laptop is a Compaq. Meh, it get's the job done. Really badly.

crib3unborked.png

Where I sleep.

1. This is my window. It's not usually an ominous pool of light; I think that was the camera's doing.

2. Yeah, I have a Stylophone on my windowsill. Sup.

3. The patchiness of my wall makes it look like I'm living in the midst of some sort of warzone. I'm not. I'm, like, 60% sure I'm not. I don't look out of the window very often.

4. An empty coke bottle. Why not?

5. Various DVDs, books and ransom notes.

6. A pile of various pieces of paper and other crap I should sort out.

7. A USB cable. Again, why not?

8. An invisible Pelican lives in my bed. I kid you not.

9. My radio alarm clock makes all manner of crazy ass noises while I'm trying to sleep. I've tried all sorts of things to shut it up. Well, I actually haven't tried anything... maybe I should?

crib4.png

The most cluttered, un-lived-in corner of my room.

1. I wear a green hoody pretty often. If you ever see someone wearing a green hoody, it's probably me.

2. I got this little dinosaur toy in a Happy Meal a couple of weeks ago. Its head spins. It's probably the coolest thing I've ever owned.

3. I have all sorts of crap pinned to my wall. Don't really know what any of it is...

4. Socks!

5. There's a wardrobe right opposite this pile of clothes. Hmm.

6. I still have quite a few videos. Remember videos? Videos were awesome.

7. More unsorted paper. I thought everything was supposed to be digital these days?

crib5.png

The least interesting part of my room.

1. Narnia.

2. The exit.

3. My radiator makes super weird noises. I'm pretty sure the solution is to kick it relentlessly.

crib6.png

This is the view from my window. What a pretty garden.

    Wow, very comprehensive photos. So much stalker potential here. :eek:

    But sure, I'll contribute. Um, I don't have a desk, so I guess I'll just take a picture of my tree branch art in the corner of my room.

    All you'll get from me at this point is my setup:

    and posters:

    Everything else is covered by a million sheets of paper with maths revision on.

    I'll post some of my room, but there's so much clutter that showing the rest is just embarrassing. :[

    room1.jpg

    The sad part is this is AFTER I cleaned up some of the clutter.


    room2.jpg

    I've got one of these wooden guys too. He currently doubles as a mic stand when I do voice chatting. Anyone care to name him? :D


    room3.jpg

    OH GOD DON'T LOOK IT'S HORRIBLE MY EYES THEY BURN
    This isn't my entire bookshelf but the part I'm showing makes me look like much more of a weeaboo than I actually am. At one point, though, I totally was.

    An epicat. :3

    Hmm, I think I'll do this. Later. When I'm not being lazy. So eventually. Maybe.

    For now, here's a recent picture of my game console shelf:

    DSC02924.jpg

    As a bonus, here's a picture of my room from June 26, 2008, before it was my room and before we started remodeling:

    DSC02530.jpg

    And here it is on 11/28/08, after we'd finished painting but before I moved in:

    I don't have a camera currently, but I have some pictures of the place I used to live somewhere, give me a little bit to wrangle them.

    Oh man, I love seeing people's huge collections of books, games, etc. Makes me feel so inadequate...

    Well, when I say art, *cough* I mean a branch I found 5 years ago and started hanging things on.

    Alright, so.... to break up all these masculine rooms, here's mine. :p

    branchart.png

    The rest of the branch isn't really visible, I had to wedge it between the cabinet, floor and the wall so it wouldn't tip over.

    And my reminder of the Sea Monkey:

    seamonk.png

    The other angles are just pretty much blank wall space, awaiting the shipment of my backordered purcell prints... I keep checking the mail every day, even though I know they won't ship until the DVD does. :/

    Don't worry, I don't have much stuff in my room either.
    This being said, I haven't filmed the office yet.

    Anyway, here is the vid.

    Crappy DSi photos. Here's I go:

    It's literally missing my collection of Mario-kun's, my sister collection of Fire Emblem Manga and her plushs, but those are in the disaster door, so... better not.

    Also!

    Check out those amazing curtains I had.

    My bed, in its rarely seen "made" state.

    My old TV and crappy entertainment center. (Note: these are the same NES cases seen in the previous photo)

    6611_127000874608_500189608_2073608.jpg

    My DVDs, N64 games, PS1, PS2, Xbox, Gamecube, Saturn, Dreamcast, DS, PSP, Genesis, etc.

    6611_127000649608_500189608_2073601.jpg

    And my bass guitar. Just because.

    (These pictures were all taken around 5 years ago, so the quantity of games, DVDs, comics, etc. has all increased greatly. Plus they were taken on a crappy cell phone, hence the poor quality.)

    I don't know, I downloaded it a ton of time ago. A lot of those are CDs and not DVDs, so, it's not that much. (And half of those stuff aren't mine either)

    I just remember my sister took a good photo of our front view in the Night, so, I think would be good post that here too ^^!

    BEWARE BROKEN FORUM!

    All the lights on that back mountain/hill area reminds me of Melee Island. Well, as you approach Stan's specifically.

    Well, some people might disagree, but I'd give everything to get back the view I used to have:

    Dang guys, my setup is just a laptop in my living room with a trackball, and the rest is just my mess of a room, a nintendo wii, a ps2, a gamecube, a ps1 and a broken genesis. I dont have a huge collection of anything. just a fold out table and my macbook pro first gen

    that probably would have been a lot funnier to me if I didn't already know that it meant that.

    That is amazing. I love the way the buildings circle around the corners of the streets.
  • edited May 2010
    I love the way a lot of old buildings look. I feel you don't get that with houses because between houses you get at least as much room with nothing and it just breaks the whole feel of it.

    Here, I don't like McDonald's, but this is my favourite McDonald's in Paris.
    140bs7c.jpg

    Because there isn't much room to extent the city, stuff like that ends up being integrated in existing buildings. It looks so much better than the American fast foods do (tastes the same though).

    But let's go back to sharing pics of our natural habitats :p

    I like people's rooms with views!

    My room is completely uninteresting. I try not to collect too much stuff because I never planned to settle down in London. When I do buy books etc, I tend to read them and then give them away or send them home for my family to enjoy too.

    So instead of my room, here's the view from our balcony tonight.

    Attachment not found.

    Sometimes they have fireworks displays launched from the green area on the bottom right of the pic, which is pretty awesome.

    The Door to the Disaster.

    The Disaster it's a bedroom we use to keep all the stuff we're not using already, like boxes, cables, lamps we don't use and books I can't keep in my bedroom. There's also some stuff of my mom (Mostly plates and glasses to use in New Year), sheets and mattress when my friends come to play Pen and Paper RPG (And, by definition, to sleepover), the vacumm I don't use, the Electric Heater we try to not use and the internet modem + wifi router.

    Oh yes, we have some of those. We have two rooms filled with mostly boxes and just extra stuff we might want to use 10 years from now, so we don't throw it away.

    Most of those stuff are in fact Computer Garbage I don't want to throw because I'm convinced someday I could recicle that.

    And a ton of very old drawings, now I remember.

    Let me check.

    *Go to see*

    Nope. Apparently my sis decided to release him, because his crying was interrupting her studies to take over the world. I totally forget the guy was there incidentally. Now I have to figure out what to do with that rope.

    Incidentally, does anyone know where Robert is right now?
