Saddest-Looking Game Room Setups

WiiLand - "Too broke for HDTV? Gaming on the cheap? Boost your morale by laughing at other people's sad-looking gaming setups. Ghetto-fabulous!!!"

Spike475392d ago

I'm gonna go hug my Sony trinitron lol

lociefer5392d ago

lol my setup is nearly identical as the 2nd pic, i feel so down

Maddens Raiders5392d ago

and now I see why most of the world is so in love with the status quo when it comes to vg's.....so much apathy in those photos....

^^ don't feel bad, you've got to go with what you've got...

funny title

Panthers5392d ago

They may not be HD, but some of those TVs are decent. I mean they are a good size. I would rather have a larger SD TV than a very small HD. I used to have a 23" HDTV and it blew.

Now I have a 32" Vizio and I must say people underestimate Vizio. Its a 32" Plasma and it has the best picture of any 32" I have seen. Perfect for my room.

evrfighter5392d ago

last pic is pretty beast. not bad at all

Darkeyes5392d ago (Edited 5392d ago )

Wow, I really pity the first guy.... Boy I hope he doesn't play a co-op game on that.. lol.

That 5th picture is what really intrigues me.... That guy has a library of over 50 games, a PSP and an PS3 and yet can't afford a small HDTV... Looks like he really loves his SDTV.

... *Goes and kisses his 42" Plasma*

SRU96005392d ago (Edited 5392d ago )

I have a very nice home theater, but I would never laugh at someone's setup, no matter how bad it was.

Not everyone is fortunate enough to be able to afford expensive things.

FarEastOrient5392d ago

Wow, I'm stuck in a warzone called Iraq and this is worst than some of the setups over here.

swingingape5392d ago

we need a home show make-over STAT!!

IaMs125392d ago

Oh come on lol some of those are hilarious tho especially the speakers one hanging from the wall. Some of my friends have similar setups just hooked up to regular TV and you dont need HDTV to have fun gaming at all, although it is nice to be able to read some of the words lol

Montrealien5392d ago (Edited 5392d ago )

I love how some of you feel the need to kiss your TVs.

You are not your TV, you are not your f*cking kakies!

I see a few old shots in there lacking next gen stuff. That guy playing GT3 waiting for GT4 to come out has a very decent setup.

*goes and punches a wall*

Real Gambler5392d ago

Put everything in perspective doesn't it? There's people arguing about a missing pixel, or shadow, or line. While other do what they have to to play and surely enjoy their games.

Surely make me feel extremely lucky too.

TheCagyDies5392d ago (Edited 5392d ago )

it's ok, I guess...

Edit: Never mind, N4G is not uploading my picture...

JoySticksFTW5392d ago

Towel on the floor, lone picture on the wall, empty chicken pot pie box lying on the floor, still rocking a gamecube -- that pic screams "Help Me! I've been abducted!"

No, seriously - it looks like Saw: Rebirth in that room!

Jigsaw "To escape this basement alive, you must play this game through from beginning to end without dying. If your character dies, you die. You may commence."

Kid "Wait! What game is it?"

Jigsaw "Ninja Gaiden!"

Kid "Noooooo!!!"

Product5392d ago

Funny article. These are sad, but then again i don't play people. Times are tough for some in this economy.

el_bandito5392d ago

Yea.. They're asking for the "humble" game room setups, and probably a few would just make up some really awful setups just for laughs, such as the 1st pic.

The 6th pic is hilariously "ingenious" though. Are those speakers? So much for surround-sound system....

andron5392d ago (Edited 5392d ago )

I couldn't afford a HDTV and a PS3 at the same time, so I chose to get the PS3 first. It functioned ok, but I wouldn't go back now I have a Sony Bravia LOL...

Edit: And yeah the cellar gamecube setup was way creepy...

BrotherNick5392d ago

If I wasn't trying to immigrate to canada maybe I'd buy more stuff.

GameGambits5392d ago

The last pic is the saddest, because if you can afford 800 SDTVs then why not break out for 1 great HDTV already.

pppppeach5392d ago

I got two 52" fullhd tv's one for my 360 and one for my ps3...

SaiyanFury5392d ago

The pic with the speakers hanging from the walls and ceiling made me laugh the hardest. While most of those setups were decent enough, some of them are pretty ghetto. :P

Dandiego5391d ago

I hope these are not the people saying the graphics look better on PS3 or Xbox 360...

N4Flamers5391d ago

These are die hard gamers that love games and want to play no matter what. All they care about is having fun and playing. Cheers.

Some people need some kind of video game charity or something. Im calling the home and garden channel maybe we can get a remodeling.

well you gotta do what you gotta do just to play game.
i dont have a hdtv in my room so its fine i guess. but in my bro room he have a hdtv with his ps3. i have a wii in my room

Sheikh Yerbouti5392d ago

most of those are pretty respectable. Also respectable if your wife keeps your hobby out of the living room or den.

tinman_licks5392d ago (Edited 5392d ago )

Before people go high-fiving each other over their HD setups and laughing at those poor SD mooks, seems like everyone needs a little reminder that most of America don't own HDTVs -- 66% stick rock the SD.

Don't believe me, read it yourself

[URL=" http://www.n4g.com/wii/News...

Let's see how funny it still is when your living room gets plastered on a video games website.

Megaton5392d ago

I'm still rockin' the SD, but mine isn't as small as those. My friend was using a 10' SDTV for his 360 until he bought a 37' HDTV.

ASSASSYN 36o5392d ago

Wow 10 feet! Thats a huge SDTV! And then he got a 37 foot wide HDTV wow! J/k

C_SoL5392d ago (Edited 5392d ago )

for cracking me up without laughing because I don't wanna wake up my family.

Oh man that was hard to hold in.

But ya, on topic the 6th one is the best one. That's how I have my set up. Actually that's my room to tell you people the truth.

Donate people so I can't get a HDTV with a 7.1 surround sound system.

Thank You

Aclay5392d ago

LMFAO @ the pic! I honestly thought that more people that owned PS3's/360's would have had them hooked up to HDTV's since the prices of them have gone down so much, but I guess the prices have go down a little bit more.

When I first got my PS3 in Dec. 2006, I had it hooked up to a 20" SDTV for a year and I got a small 23" Samsung HDTV, and just last month I upgraded to a 40" 1080p Samsung. I hope that more gamers find the means to go HD in the near future, it's just awesome.

Toenado5392d ago

Had my ps3 hooked up to an sd tv for the first six months. After having it hooked up to my hdtv for the last year ive been amazed time and time again. I would freak out if my hdtv broke.

Nihilism5392d ago

i wish i'd kept all my old consoles like alot of these peeps......

Zelda Replay: Majora's Mask

VGChartz's Evan Norris: "Is Ocarina of Time as legendary as I remembered it? For the most part, yes. In spite of a handful of missteps — a few obtuse puzzles, some tedious backtracking, and a clunky stealth sequence — I don't believe the last 23 years have been unkind to it. Ocarina remains a brilliant example of the medium, a landmark game that shaped the future of its own franchise and 3D gaming in general. After more than two decades it retains its inventive dungeon design, challenging puzzles, dynamic combat, wistful storyline, unforgettable music, and empowering open-air freedom. I feel confident calling it one of the greatest games of the fifth generation, even if I'm no longer prepared to list it among the five best games ever made."

Pure unadulterated fun. They don't make them like this anymore...especially not the triple A industry.

FinalFantasyFanatic1d 14h ago

Back when video rental was a thing, I rented out Majoria's Mask, I never finished it though. I did buy the 3DS version before the eshop shutdown, so maybe one day I'll finally play through the whole thing, it's amazing how well these games hold up though. I briefly played Ocarina of Time for a while and it was really fun.

Ar Tonelico Qoga: Knell Of Ar Ciel Retro Review – Love Conquers All

Gary Green said: You’ll be forgiven if you haven’t heard of the Ar Tonelico trilogy. The previous two games arrived so late in the PS2’s life-cycle that they simply went unnoticed. While most were tinkering with their shiny new PS3s, Ar Tonelico: Melody of Elemia and Ar Tonelico II: Melody of Metafalica were being ‘returned to sender’ by your local Game stores. Luckily, you won’t need to have played them to understand and appreciate this third and final chapter, Qoga (pronounced k-yoga) tells the story of a racial war between humans and Reyvateils, a breed of biologically produced female cyborgs capable of reproduction, while still having a digital mind.

Oh my god. I kinda wish this would get a remaster on PS5, it would be awesome. One of my favorite games on PS3.

That and 3D Dot Game Heroes. It's a shame that some stuff is stuck on PS3.

Knightofelemia3d ago

Ar Tonelico 3 is good I still prefer the first AT game. The music is solid in all the games and Akiko Shikata is a very talented singer bringing life to the game. Only annoying part is well I find is Saki I always choose Finnel or Tyria. KOEI so needs to HD remaster the franchise along with Ar Nosurge and Ciel Nosurge since it never came to North America. I would day one the Ar Toneliceo games and Ar Nosurge if they were remastered.

TheColbertinator3d ago

I still have the limited edition of Qoga unopened. Unfortunately it never went up in value like I had hoped all these years.

Father__Merrin3d ago

Used to own all these quirky JRPG on ps3 good times. Wish I would have kept them all

Pacific Rim Pinball comes to Pinball FX

This could be fun as they make great tables. Go big or go extinct. Prime your senses for a neural handshake and step into the cockpit of a Jaeger. It is on you to cancel the apocalypse when Pacific Rim Pinball comes to Pinball FX on May 16.
