My little movie room :)

[TinyGiant]

decided to take a couple pics of my movie room.. its coming together nicely

added a 12" mtx woofer to the surround sound

what game do you think is a household fave?

[TinyGiant]

nah.. it doesnt :) I have the projector mounted just right .. not interference from anything unless you stand in front of it :)

[TinyGiant]

my wife and i did the birds painting .. and i found the NES painting a thrift store.. they only wanted 25 bux for it lol its like 6ft wide and 4ft tall.. hand painted!

[TinyGiant]

I cut the edges on it .. to make it more impactful.. i plan to paint the edges some rainy day

[TEHxFALLEN V1.2]

Very cool!

[jclo3313]

Thats the one with Pac Man stuff in it. I love it.

[TinyGiant]

that piano quilt my grandmother did .. its crazy detailed.. i plan to move it somewhere else and get a call of duty poster and some MILSIM Airsoft guns and make a little shelf fo the COD games there ..

[TinyGiant]

Thats the one with Pac Man stuff in it. I love it.

it has double bubble, contra, donkykong, mario, zelda, pacman, kungfu and a couple others

[custom Lftback]

Looks like I might have to make a road trip to rochester! lol

[TinyGiant]

come play some COD4 :)

[custom Lftback]

eh 31 hours of driving aint too bad. lol
it would prolly cost me less than 100 bucks round trip for gas! :)

[TinyGiant]

lol

[custom Lftback]

can't imagine playing call of duty with that massive sub! when a grenade explodes the walls would shake! lol

[TinyGiant]

yeah.. its sick.. the best is when a shot gun slug hits you :)


the best part is the screen make the characters almost life size :) sniping is fun.. much easier to see longer distances

[custom Lftback]

I bet! looks like a lot of fun chris. I think I am going to get a Wii. my ps2 is outdated. lol

[TinyGiant]

ps3 pwns all :) blue ray is sick

but i did consider picking up a wii just for mario cart.. it was my wifes all time fave game on the n64 and i know she would love to have it

[custom Lftback]

it is quite an amazing game lol.

[TinyGiant]

i just went and played i for an hour :)

i used to play it like 6 hours a day durring the week for a couple months.. then we bought a dog and i didnt have the free time in the mornings when he was a puppy but its been about a year now .. and winter is here i think its time to get back to playing here and there.. but with all the electronics up stairs gaming 6 hours a day ends up costing like 80 bux a month in electricity.. the PS3 takes as much energy as two refridgerators !!!

[custom Lftback]

no way! I didn't know it used up that much energy! wow

[33OH]

What kinds of guitars do you have? =)

[TinyGiant]

the red one is a washburn bantam xb120 bass guitar

and the brown is a Parker Hornet pm20 with babinga top and mahogany neck (i bought the parker with xmas money from bonuses, family money etc :) )

i was sick of playing cheap ibanez guitars so i figured this time around it was time for something more substantial


the bantam bass i love.. i'm a big primus fan and this bass has a super bright tone to it which is great for the pop/slap stuff

its also smaller than some bass guitars too which adds to mobility around the neck .. i like it :)

[TinyGiant]

you can checkout my recordings at www.myspace.com/afroginhand :) its different stuff.. i use garage band and tap out the drums but the bass/ guitars and vocals are all me :)

[33OH]

Aw come on. I love my Ibanez. =)

I have an 1984 Ibanez RoadStar II RS135 and just a cheapie Fender Squier 20th anniversary acoustic.

But your guitars are sick. I'll check the link when I get home, my work doesn't like myspace. =/

[TinyGiant]

darn work filters lol.. at least YW works :)

I had a a Rg170 and the Icemen reissue and i think i had another at one point too also had an epiphone strat .. this parker plays like butter i love it love the babinga too

[33OH]

I've never played any other Ibanez before. But I've also never played a Parker either.

I don't really enjoy playing bass that much, my dad is the bass player of the family.

I've had this Ibanez since I was 6 so I'm pretty partial to it. Alot of sentimental value. =)

[TinyGiant]

nice

back when i was in 7th grade my parents both were working and my dad had guitars in the house .. so of the course of a summer i taught myself to play.. I went to a private christian school and every friday we had chapel .. which had some worship songs and such .. so i joined the chapel band.. everyone and their brother plays guitar but nobody played bass.. so to fill the void i took my dads guild pilot (with a sick tiger eye finish) to school and started playing that.. I really enjoy the bass.. its funky :) so since 7th grade i've bounced between the bass and guitar .. I'm more than strong rhythm guitarist and can do minor lead work .. the bass i have fun with .. on my rocky stuff most of the time i play it pretty straight forward .. one of these days i'll do something more funky

[33OH]

Ah that's awesome.

I was given mine by my neighbor and it didn't work at all and was in extremely bad shape. So from age 6-12 I had no interest in it, it just sat around.

One Christmas my uncle took it without me knowing and had the electronics fixed and had the whole neck relacquered and everything. It looked (and still looks) brand new.

My dad also bought me a nice amp (Peavey Bandit 65) the same Christmas.

So I've been playing off and on since I was about 13. Definitely just a rhythm guitarist. Not good enough at all to do any lead work yet. I bought a Marshall Stack about 3 years ago and sold the Peavey.

Just got my acoustic maybe 3 weeks ago. Good deal on craigslist and had to get it. =)

[TinyGiant]

craigslist is great..

i usually play into my macbook pro so i dont really need an amp here at the house

the second to last amp i had was a Mesa Boogie S.O.B. sick amp exremely loud.. all tube.. can't beat a mesa :) I wish i never got rid of it.. but i had a slow month back when i was 18-19 and needed to sell it to make rent... oh well

[33OH]

Ah. I wish I had some type of studio software on my pc. Me and a friend that plays drums have been messing around and I've been recording it all on my blackberry, but ugh. Sound quality is just horrible, as expected.

[TinyGiant]

yeah .. the macbook does a fairly good job.. mastering leaves alot lacking .. but who knows maybe if business picks up i'll grab a copy of logic.

i really want to get my hands on a nice electronic drum kit.. so i can give my tracks a more organic feel rhythm wise.. but they arent cheap

[33OH]

Yeah. I've seen a few of those on my local Craigslist for 700+. Eek.

We have been using the Guitar Hero World Tour studio +drumset for our electronic set. haha.

[TinyGiant]

lol really?

thats funny

[TinyGiant]

i was plannng on getting that game anyways

[33OH]

Yeah. Its pretty cool. They have a lot of different sound types to choose from. Get a good system (which you have) and you're set.

It's not as good as an electronic drumset, but for the price, the game is good anyways. =)

[TinyGiant]

yeah.. my wife is addicted to GH so GH world tour is soon to come

[TinyGiant]

my projector bulb blew the other day :( $300 for a new one

[msfire671]

it has double bubble, contra, donkykong, mario, zelda, pacman, kungfu and a couple others

:frown: i miss playing those games...especially CONTRA! tried it awhile back...i dont know how i made it through before! dang it!

[msfire671]

i just went and played i for an hour :)

i used to play it like 6 hours a day durring the week for a couple months.. then we bought a dog and i didnt have the free time in the mornings when he was a puppy but its been about a year now .. and winter is here i think its time to get back to playing here and there.. but with all the electronics up stairs gaming 6 hours a day ends up costing like 80 bux a month in electricity.. the PS3 takes as much energy as two refridgerators !!!

wow...i didnt know that! thanks for the info!
well i have a wii,ps3,ps2,xbox 360 and a fifty some inch tv...whats my total?!

[talnlnky]

someday i'll get my projector equiped movie room... tho really, I'm more of a music than movie person, so I doubt i'll ever do a setup thats anything more than 2.1 but I swear I will alwas have a kick ass 2.1
