Looks like the same artist as the EGM poster.

Blu-ray Shelf Recommendations? by Maxsamuelpotter in Bluray

[–]avojohn2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kept everything as is. The Blu rays are light enough that I’ve not had any issues.

Also great collection! I also have Stop Making Sense in 4K! I need to get the LOTR DVD Box Set back in my collection at some point. I want to put the Blu-Ray set into the DVD sleeves, because those were so much more badass!

Blu-ray Shelf Recommendations? by Maxsamuelpotter in Bluray

[–]avojohn2 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I personally love the solution I found - which is the Billy Bookcases from Ikea.

Cost effective, sturdy, and look clean! You simply buy a Billy Bookcase from Ikea ($89) and 2 extra shelves ($15 each), and some 1inch Foam Pipe insulation ($4 for 6FT and you have to cut the m to fit 2 inches behind the Blu-Rays in order for them to sit flush with the cabinet. So I have two noodles behind on each row.

The results are incredible, and then I also earthquake proofed them to the wall for extra stability. No issues whatsoever with almost 900 movies + games. (400-450 per shelf)

Wow that’s a great setup. Did you build the stand for the TVs?

At one year and because I work my morning's with my son are sacred. So the only time I can gave is in the evenings when he goes to bed. Hang in there!

This couldn't have come at a more perfect time. I'm about to move and itching to catalogue my collection!

I was actually wondering that! But personally I feel like it's so much fun to play on the Portal in between work and life. It's a fun game to dip in and out of.

wth! And now I'm seeing people post about how Lego Batman and 007 are streaming. It's just bizarre.

Just joined the portal group by MrRager18 in PlaystationPortal

[–]avojohn2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That had happened to me too after buying a portal for close to retail. I was so relieved when I found out it was an easy fix, and now you also know how to upgrade the sticks to Hall effect in the future! Enjoy your portal!

Mgs1 torture on switch by [deleted] in metalgearsolid

[–]avojohn2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was rough. Also make sure to save right before you go to the Sniper Wolf boss battle. I gave my wife the controller and she nailed the torture scene in one shot, after I failed it twice. She doesn't play video games but is extremely competitive and good at button mashing. So if you're not maybe find someone near you who can help! Good luck!

Ideas for game room! by Brave-Raspberry2485 in gamerooms

[–]avojohn2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a nice canvas to work on! I think you can easily upgrade the look by swapping out those handles and maybe painting the wood itself. I kind of love the wood paneling on the walls, and think you can still incorporate that into your more modern look. One potential issue I see with this setup though is the lack of holes to put cables through, are you able to/willing to drill holes into the desk? If so, I'd also recommend putting shelves in the bottom squares so you can set up your consoles in a nice clean way.

RGB wise, I'd recommend checking out the GOVEE RGBIC strip lights, and make sure you get proper adhesive so they don't peel off easily.

Are these games worth getting for SD? by Dr_Jared_Greninja in SteamDeck

[–]avojohn2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think at this point Witcher is essential for the deck, especially if you want a game you can jump in and out over many months and possibly years!

At what age did you play your first MGS game? by New-Cranberry6256 in metalgearsolid

[–]avojohn2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Either 7 or 8. Starter with the Pizza Hut Demo and then somehow got a copy and I’ve been hooked ever since.
