My New "Retro Hub" (For Retro Video & Games)
Welcome To My New "Retro Hub" The "Retro Hub" in Action https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNQ7GsZ9w3I (Now Playing: Friday the 13th) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Gt5aSJjx40 (Now Playing: Super Mario Bros.

Oh man, this is giving me major flashbacks. The Friday the 13th game is hard AF to beat and I remember it giving me the creeps. Even in the middle of the day with the sun shining

Latest Addition Woke Up and Added a New Installment A Raspberry Pi!(I'm Sure This is NOT Going to Be the "Final Chapter") https://i.ibb.co/DK6H4JC/IMG-0421.jpg |
It's a nice little setup....
mine is TV - Region free blu-ray player - Laser Disc player - Nintendo - Switch - Amazon Fire Stick - Retro Freak - PC Tower And then I rotate out -Pandora's 5 Arcade system -Playstation 2 -Gamecube -N64 |
If we're talking about other additional set ups... then perhaps I should tell you... https://i.ibb.co/Lzb6tt6/Frieza-2015...7219168691.jpg This isn't even my room's Final Form... :lol: https://i.ibb.co/FbXnbTH/IMG-0422.jpg Outside of the "Retro Hub," I've got some other set ups... (in this shot): - HDTV - Region Free DVD/Blu-Ray - Record Player - Klipsch Speakers, (for both HDTV and Record Player) - iMac - My Film & Game Shelves - and 15 Long Comic Boxes for Book, Comic, and Manga Storage What I really envy is your Laserdisc set up! Where did you get yours? Right now, the "Pi" I have is to host to slew of “Preview” games, and I’m hoping to save for and buy the titles I enjoy from that system CIB even if it costs me a fortune to do so. The thing I crave in this life is art. I love being surrounded by it. So to have a game I fancy. To have the box art. The pamphlets. The extras. All the "detail" that went into production, etc. It really means a lot to me and gets me going in the morning. On my "main" other walls is going to host various generational consoles, (like SEGA Systems, Xbox, etc.)... but too that wall is going to host my art supplies. Easels for painting, cameras for photo and film, keyboards and other music supplies, (in fact on another wall I have a guitar set up), anything I can find inspiration from or make art out of. I just love collecting and surrounding myself with art. I collect and savor it. As a matter of fact, when I was a baby it was discovered I couldn't sleep well unless I was surrounded by movie advertisements in my crib. I'd point to film adverts in the newspaper and my grandmother and mother would clip them out and we'd tape them all around me. They found I slept better that way. Ever since then nothing has changed. If I'm not surrounded by film, art, or anything "artistic"... I don't sleep well at night... |

I wonder if anyone ever paid full price for that game? I know my copy was a K&B discount special. |

GameCube is the best
And I especially like how you haven’t invested in a switcher. It really ain’t retro unless you’re unplugging the RCAs to switch consoles. I don’t know the back story, but this is a fitting tribute from the sounds of it |

I don’t know the back story, but this is a fitting tribute from the sounds of it I tried to share this on reddit on the r/retrogaming subforms and they acted like a bunch of sociopathic jerks about it saying in as much as: "Shame, guess your cousin never lived to see the Xbox Series X." ... and like... wow... wasn't going to "rise to the occasion" on this "beautiful place" we call the internet. But if people are going to behave like animals, I just rather delete my post and unsubscribe... ... bottom line... movieforums, and your comment, is very refreshing to me! Thanks again! And yes, I agree, I "thought" of investing in a "switcher" but I decided against it for said reason... the only thing I wanted that was remotely "not retro" was the wireless headphones as, if I'm up at night I want to be able to enjoy this "Hub" without waking up other people in my house... As for the story, I had a cousin who was about 8 years or so younger than I was, but at about the ages of 10 or 11 he started to develop a brain tumor. He an I were very close and often our relatives made comments about how similar he and I were to each other. At thirteen he passed away, and at and around that time I was about 20ish or so and my bipolar I disorder was getting worse and developing into schizophrenia... fifteen very long years later, now that I'm developing some sense of consciousness again, (as is typical of my disorder, apparently most find reprieve around mid-thirties) ... the thought of my cousin, and other things, never left... so I wanted to make a fitting tribute to him... |

I am building my own retro gaming setup, and this is the cornerstone of the project.
I still have my N64 and PS2. I stupidly sold my Sega Genesis years ago, but I just snagged one off eBay tonight for more than I care to admit. Lesson learned: don’t sell your favorite game console ever to buy weed. |
