Title: Re: Pictures of the Game Room finally! Post by: NES_Rules on July 06, 2008, 08:25:32 PM Nice setup, but you need a bigger TV :P
I like the shelves the loose NES games are on, are they real wood or the particle board stuff? I use Photobucket.com for my image hosting. You can have up to 1GB worth of stuff per account, but the accounts are free and you can have more than one ;) Title: Re: Pictures of the Game Room finally! Post by: CodysGameRoom on July 06, 2008, 08:39:45 PM Thanks guys. I do plan on getting a bigger TV, its the worst one in the house right now. The woman said the good one goes in the living room. :) The shelves I bought at a place here in Omaha called Nebraska Furniture Mart and they are real wood. On one hand, I paid a lot for them and kind of wanted to make my own, but on the other hand I love the way these shelves look. And the games fit so perfectly. My only problem is its about full now and I'll need another one soon!

My only problem is its about full now and I'll need another one soon! I'm glad they're real wood. All the furniture in my game room is solid wood except one piece which is being replaced soon. That particle board crap looks nice for about a year until the laminate starts to peel or chunks just start falling off. And it's getting to be not much cheaper than solid wood these days anyway. I'm in the process of building some shelves that will look very similar to those, just bigger. Title: Re: Pictures of the Game Room finally!

Title: Re: Pictures of the Game Room finally! Post by: Chainclaw on July 08, 2008, 07:51:27 PM awesome stuff. Have you thought about alphabetizing by cart type, and then by game name? Have all your Nintendo manufactured carts before your Tengen stuff?
I know it can be a big hassle, but when you have a lot of cartridges together like that, they look even cooler when separated by cart type. Title: Re: Pictures of the Game Room finally!

Where do you guys store pictures once your out of space on RF? Your pics seem to have extremely large file sizes, were they jpeg's originally or something else? I took a couple of them and tried re-saving them as jpgs myself, and they saved at 1/5 of the size they are on the site with no loss of quality or size. That's why you've run out of room so fast. At a normal jpeg size you'd be able to fit 50+ large pics into your profile gallery here at RFGen. ;) As an example, the pic you posted above lists at 431kb, but it can be re-saved as small as ~85kb with no changes in quality or dimension. :) Title: Re: Pictures of the Game Room finally! Post by: Talen on July 09, 2008, 01:04:47 AM pwpcody - The collection is looking really good. Great organization, especially for all the NES carts, that shelf is a great fit for them.
Nothing worse than a beautiful collection in a messy space. Title: Re: Pictures of the Game Room finally! Post by: CodysGameRoom on July 09, 2008, 12:14:56 PM Thanks guys, I am really proud of all of it.
Yes, I have thought about organizing by cart type, and also on the genny side of things by case color, (reds, blacks, etc). I might try it to see if I like it. The pictures were taken on a digital camera and were scaled down from 100 percent to twenty five percent using photoshop. How did you reduce the file size? Because I do have a lot more pictures that IO would like to upload. Title: Re: Pictures of the Game Room finally!

Because I do have a lot more pictures that IO would like to upload. I'm guessing that the camera and Photoshop isn't using jpeg compression for these pics. All I did was open it in Paint, hit "save" without making any changes, that's it. :P Title: Re: Pictures of the Game Room finally! Post by: CodysGameRoom on July 09, 2008, 08:13:47 PM Wow. I will def try that. If I get it to work, so many more pics will be posted. Thanks!

Because I do have a lot more pictures that IO would like to upload. The easiest way to make the file size smaller for web view in photoshop is to choose the Save for Web option, instead of just save. It lets you adjust the detail to file size ratio, tells you the current file size and even has an option to preview in your web browser to see what it will actually look like. Title: Re: Pictures of the Game Room finally! Post by: CodysGameRoom on January 29, 2009, 05:16:27 PM Guys, I took a few hours today, and put up about 50 new pictures. My collection has changed alot since the last time, and I figured out how to make the files smaller so I could post all of them. They are in my profile, there is a link at the top of this forum topic. Let me know what you all think!
If youre wondering, the pictures of games are anything with R6 or higher at DP. Title: Re: Pictures of the Game Room finally! Post by: Sirgin on January 29, 2009, 05:24:18 PM Amazing! :o
Title: Re: Pictures of the Game Room finally! Post by: Ghost Soldier on January 30, 2009, 12:14:01 PM Very nice pictures
