A look into an otaku’s room
As some people might know, I just moved house a few days ago. I finally finished unpacking today and I decided to take some pictures.
The entrance to doom and horror
Warning: Pictures may be extremely disturbing to the uninitiated.
Rei and Mana
Turn right (although no one in the right mind would do that since you’d be facing the wall) after stepping through the door and you’ll see two large Evangelion posters that identify me as a level 12 Eva fanboy. Mana is hawt. That’s a not-for-sale promotional poster for the PS1 version of Girlfriend of Steel. I found it at Mandarake Shibuya for ￥200. Yay.
The lair
Right across the door is where I spend 90% of my waking hours, excluding school.
Generally I do my stuff on the main monitor. The secondary monitor is mostly for IRC, Winamp and some misc. widgets.
The rig below is a Pentium 3 with a dead HDD. I was using it to run Linux, but it’s dead now. At least until I move a HDD over.
A Coolmaster case. It’s so cool that the PVC figures above it have not melted yet. In fact, it’s so cool that there’s a penguin sitting on it.
Louise stands above my Creative subwoofer.
Behind is the promotional poster for Maaya Sakamoto’s “Kazemachi JET” single. I have the one for Yunagi LOOP too, but it was damaged when I took it down during the packing. I failed as a Maaya fanboy. orz
I have no idea why the penguin is there. It just is.
My wallet’s coin compartment has a huge hole, so I took out all my coins. That’s a Mahora school crest on the keychain.
When she’s not on a holiday, Saber sits on my desk. Gao.
Behind Saber is a wallscroll of Tama-nee. It’s a promotional item from Messe Sanoh that came with the limited edition copy of ToHeart2 XRATED. I bought it from Lashinbang in Ikebukuro for ￥2,000.
And now we come to the interesting part…the shelves…
The storage area belong Kasumi is where I dump everything that can’t be displayed. I should invest more in displayable stuff, like posters.
I seem to be missing some books. Oh well. Maybe they got lost in one of the bajillion boxes during the move. Hopefully they’ll turn up one day…
My “study” desk. Do you see any studying materials around? I think not.
My laptop. It’s trying and failing to boot Linux off a Live CD. Sigh…
My phone charging. HARUHIISM FOREVER!!!
My HP printer and, uh, some CDs… Okay this is getting lame. Let’s wrap up with some shots of the posters and pencil boards that are haphazardly pasted all over the place.
Melons are nice
The princesses
The girls with guns
Setsuna-chan!!! Too bad the game sucked
This phone card costs more than any single poster
So…uh…yeah, I like Lacus
A brave issue of Megami gave up its life
Pretty bad picture due to the poor lighting (that or I just suck)
And finally…
FEEEEEEEEEEENA!!!!!!
Everyone knows that I have a thing against displaying posters with folds, but Feena is an exception. :3
BTW my room is defended by a USB missile launcher. So don’t even think about it!

Never a good idea to put a subwoofer near a CPU, it will cause interference since subwoofers are never magnetically shielded.

October.

Damn, why does everyone have cool rooms! WHY WHY WHY!!! First tsubaki, then TJ now you! *whips out boxcutter* you know the rest..
December 20th, 2006 at 8:53 pm
Oh such a nice room, I wish I could have one like this (but i’m sooo messy ^^; )
December 20th, 2006 at 9:07 pm
Nice missile launcher there…now i know what to buy for my pc.
December 20th, 2006 at 9:13 pm

December 20th, 2006 at 9:16 pm
Very nice room setup! But good luck keeping it that clean for very long…. :)
December 20th, 2006 at 9:16 pm
M.D.: Pfft. Everyone else did that already.

Looks like just another regular HDB block bedroom. No offence, and not meaning to boast, but otakus like you need bedrooms like those you find in masionettes, like mine. That extra space always helps.
Two comps and a laptop. Now that I have to envy. Plus all the posters in your room.
I have a necklace with the Mahora logo, just like your keychain. Ironically, gotten from Comics Connection.

December 20th, 2006 at 10:52 pm

December 20th, 2006 at 11:06 pm

December 20th, 2006 at 11:11 pm
I fail as a otaku, my room is normal. LOL.

December 20th, 2006 at 11:31 pm
@kazeto: yes, you can use two monitors for one pc if your graphic card support it
My room is normal though… :P
December 20th, 2006 at 11:32 pm
A much tidier room than mine! O_o
December 20th, 2006 at 11:36 pm
