I like how she's got like Pokemon sheets and leapord print pillows and a scream mask and a bambi and whatever all that nonsense is behind her, but then she's got a flowery grandma comforter.

It's mostly black. It was probably the goth-est bedding Wal-Mart had to offer.

Please tell me she's in high school, a room like that is completely unacceptable for anyone older than eighteen.

Man spends bajillions of dollars on videogames and peripherals yet buys a janky arcade stick with American parts and a straight six layout. Thats the video game nerd equivalent to buying a top of the line Lexus and installing a stereo you ripped out of a 80's Volvo station wagon.

Looks a lot less creepy than many of the hardcore game collector lairs I've been inside do.

Edit: That one with all the towers is an old amateur CD duping operation. Basically IIRC how they work is that one dude gets an image of a disc, has all those jury rigged PCs burn them to disc and then sends them to someone who repackages them. It was a lot more common back when anime was spread around on VCD. You would have a dude who would get the new subs off of IRC, then burn them to piles of CDs and sell them from the backs of magazines or to comic stores that needed to have the new hot series for rental when they aired in Japan. They would also make money off of doing data backups for local businesses and making CDs for bands and stuff.

This was, naturally, before everyone had CD burners in their homes and more importantly before people realized how cheap bulk CDs were.

He probably made the stick himself. Still, I agree completely with the gripe about the button layout...

It's like 300 times worse than that. But I live with people who drink like they're forgetting wars.

True goon lairdom was the summer of 2011 when I lived in a tent in my friends back yard. I had power to a laptop, a coffee maker, waffle iron and a small lap desk for painting miniatures.

An Emperor's slightest dislike is transmitted to those who serve him, and there it is amplified into rage.

This room is like a complete sensory overload for the eyes, way to drat busy I don't see how any one could stand it for more then a few minutes.

There is a fifth dimension, beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call the Anime Zone.

Real women would never touch them and also many of them are pedophiles.

E: Also many of them are suffering from a case of crippling self-loathing.

Well, they're just as likely to sleep with Hollywood's flavor of the month as they are to sleep with an anime girl so I guess to them it's mathematically equivalent?

Are pedophiles attracted to anime? Or maybe it is anime that turns people into pedohiles? Hmmm.

It's not as exciting as you would think. The place I had been living had to have work done on it and I was on not great terms with the owner at the time. She told me I could move back in but I needed to be somewhere else for two to three months. So it being mid June I simply set up a tent in my friends backyard, ran a power strip inside and hung out for a few months. If you wonder why I didn't live with my friends, its because their house always looked like a crack den and a tent was actually much tidier and had less drunk people wandering through it at 4 AM. The waffle iron was there because you can basically use one like a George Foreman grill, so I was making grilled zucchini and corn most nights.



It was less homeless living and more one man goon camp.

Also I'm not sure but I'm pretty sure I painted this during the time or just previous to it:

There's a disturbing amount of overlap between Japanese cartoon porn and the works of H.P. Lovecraft. It probably stems from the fact that they're both derived from social anxiety and a deep-seated fear of women.
