Well, here are the video game wall hangings I have:

Beatmania IIDX 4th Style arcade poster (laminated)
Beatmania IIDX 5th Style arcade poster (laminated)
Beatmania IIDX 6th Style arcade poster
Beatmania IIDX 8th Style arcade poster (laminated)
Beatmania IIDX 9th Style arcade poster (laminated)
Beatmania IIDX 10th Style arcade poster (laminated)
Beatmania IIDX RED arcade poster (laminated)
Beatmania IIDX Happy Sky arcade poster
Beatmania IIDX DistorteD arcade poster (laminated)
Beatmania IIDX GOLD arcade poster
Beatmania IIDX Another Style poster (laminated)

Beatmania IIDX 8th Style PS2 poster
Beatmania IIDX 9th Style PS2 poster (laminated)
Beatmania IIDX 10th Style PS2 poster (laminated)
Beatmania IIDX RED PS2 poster
Beatmania IIDX Happy Sky PS2 poster

Pop'n Music 10 arcade poster (laminated)
Pop'n Music 13 Carnival arcade poster

Pop'n Music 11 PS2 poster (laminated)
Pop'n Music 12 Iroha PS2 poster (laminated)
Pop'n Music 13 Carnival PS2 poster

DrumMania V3 arcade poster

GuitarFreaks/DrumMania Masterpiece Silver PS2 poster

Ys Eternal wall scroll

The problem with all the posters is their stupid non-standard size.  The arcade posters are all Japanese B1 size (72.8 x 103 cm), which is like an inch and a half too long for standard American frames, which means if I want to get them framed, they would have to be cutom-framed.  When I've asked for quotes on frames that size, the typical answer is around $150 apiece.  So, I've just laminated them at Kinko's for around $20 apiece and used those 3M wall hanging tabs to stick 'em up on the wall.  I still have to get a few of them done, though.

I'll see if I can dig up my pictures of my walls and post a link.

I have a Shadow of the Colossus painting hanging over my bureau (posted in this thread http://altpop.com/stc/forums/viewtopic.php?id=1790), as well as a poster from an EGM mag that has a bunch of NES Zelda sprites on it. I also have the famous "I Want to Believe" X-Files poster signed by several cast members from when I was at an X-Files Convention six or seven years ago.

I want that. sad

I've got a load of posters I need to get round to framing, including a particularly awesome Castlevania Curse of Darkness one, and a nice Nausicaa one-sheet. No space at the moment.

If you're asking who's nerdy though... well what's nerdier than reproducing pixel art on canvas?

different poster sizes

I feel your pain.  I have a mixture of American and Japanese posters in my bedroom, and it's very difficult to line 'em up without a bunch of weird leftover space.

I'll post some pictures later on.  Still at work. sad

I'd say that reproducing pixel art with fuse beads is pretty nerdy:

I'd also say that reproducing pixel art in cross-stitch is equally as nerdy, if not more so. big_smile

Back when I was in junior high, my bedroom walls were adorned with scads of game and anime-related posters, most of them being of the Yoshitaka Amano Final Fantasy, Dragon Ball Z, and Sailor Moon sort.   Nowadays, I have a smattering of stuff around the apartment, which I'm dying to take live shots of, but am out of a digital camera at the moment.  So, the next best thing will have to be equivalant pics online:

In the living room there's a Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance poster, as well as a Pirates of the Caribbean one, which I got from preordering The Curse of The Black Pearl DVD back in 2003. (On opening day of Dead Man's Chest, I also got a free T-shirt.  Gotta love free pirates booty; what are they gonna give away for AWE? ^_^)  Both are hanging side by side above my TV.

In the main bedroom, I have a poster of that Elly piece from the front of the Xenogears Perfect Works book.  Not the most appropriate depiction for a woman's bedroom, I admit, but I just love the artwork; I do need to take it down whenever my kid cousins come over to visit, though. o_O  Above my bedroom television is this neat and happy poster from the Parappa The Rapper anime, which is a show I've always wanted to watch but have yet to do so.

By far my two most favorite posters, though, is the one hanging above my work desk, and the one in the hallway.  The one above my desk is the dopest of dope shot of Joe and Silvia kicking ass from Viewtiful Joe 2.  The one in the hallway is the piece from Okami, where Kushi is with Amaterasu in Kamiki Village.  Beautiful, beautiful art.

Sabreman and Amber...those are some seriously cool creations.

I don't have any posters or other game-related items except for that Final Fantasy figure two pack I got just for Diamond Weapon.  I still have the cloth map that came with my preorder of FFVIII as well.  Anyways, I figure owning 450+ games and around 70 game soundtracks is enough to make me nerdier than the average joe.  It might be cool to acquire a game-related poster to put up on my wall though.  I've never been big on decorating my room like that.  At most I've had a basketball poster or two and a framed Marvin the Martian one that after many years still sits on the floor behind my bed.  Nothing game-related there.

Whew.... All this love for Bemani but none for DJ MAX Portable?  Didja ever get around to the series, Crash?

Play-Asia threw in this sweet poster as a bonus with my preorder of DJ Max Portable 2 Orpheus Package (Metallic Silver Edition).  Thinking of hanging it up somewheres....

I laminated the poster that came with the Versus Books Wild Arms 2 strategy guide and have it hanging on my wall. The graphic I use for my avatar actually comes from that same picture. I like a lot of the WA production artwork (it was a sin how they used a different style on ACF when people grew up with the anime style started in WA1). I just wish Kanon was on the poster but Knightblazer definately looks cool up there on top of the rock formation in the sunset.

Where's Schala in this discussion?  Wasn't she the queen of block art?

Amber and Sabreman:  Very nice.

I know what you mean, Great Mahou was the first one I got done and it was like $100, which was reasonable for brick and mortar, plus the glass makes it heavier than frick.  Now I just get my custom framing done through www.wholesaleposterframes.com.  Before shipping, most frames run me about $40-$50, and depending on how you customize, it can even be less.

Hehe...I guess I must respond. ^_~

Only a few of these actually became magnets, though, so they're not actually hanging as they are hanging around. ^_~ I did make a ton of Final Fantasy 1 beadsprites of everyone -- both their "kid" forms to their "adult" forms -- that I never posted in my Pbase gallery. My bro made this cool one of one of those "jungle Shyguys" from Yoshi's Island that I made into a magnet. I've been meaning to make a Lavos spawn, but I'm not sure I have the proper colors...we'll have to see about that. I've been meaning to make more, but life kinda got in the way. ^_~

As for posters, the only game-related one I have are an advertising one for the PS version of ChronoTrigger and an FF6 one that came with some Japanese magazine. I used to have more, but I sold 'em. Oh, wait, no, I have that Kingdom Hearts one that Gamestop was giving with the first game, and I have some others lying around that I got with purchases of Final Fantasy CDs -- I know I have an FF10 and FF8 one around. I don't have much room, though...I have so many anime posters up that I can't hang any others. ^_~

You know, I used to have a TON of video game related stuff hanging in my room back in the states, but in Japan I don't have very much up at all - and I'll probably keep it that way when I get back to Chicago.  I like having just a few really nice things up rather than tons and tons of posters.  That said, over here I have two main things: first is a cloth scroll from Tengai Makyou III that I got at Tokyo Game Show 2005.  If you didn't know it was from a video game, you'd probably just think it was a random bit of Japanese artwork.  Second, I haven't even played FFXII yet, but I framed a poster of the airship battle concept art a loooooong time ago because I really love that artwork.  There's something about the colors... and I really like airships in the FF games anyway.

XLord007 Apr 29, 2007

The only game related poster I currently have on display is the Parasite Eve poster that was a pre-order bonus back in 1998.  I had that sucker framed in mahogany wood and it is currently the only thing on the walls of my room.

At my old job, I had a few gaming posters up in my cube.  I think the ones I had up were mostly freebies from EGM and NP like Metroid Prime, MGS, and Silent Hill 3.  I also remember having cut out and putting up a picture of Miyamoto and Iwata from the Washington Post.  The two were smiling and holding up the original DS after it became a hit.  The cube in my current job is a lot smaller and the organization is more conservative, so I probably won't be doing much with it.  Right now, the only personal effect I have on display at all is the free Aston Martin DBS toy car I got with my purchase of the Casino Royale DVD.

Back at home, I have tons and tons of gaming promotional items that are not on display,  most of which I'm thinking about getting rid of.  I collected way too much gaming junk back in my college days and now it's time to take stock of what I really still want.  Just the other week, I recycled all of PSMs and all but two of my OPMs (the two I kept had the fantastic cover arts for FFT and PE).

Now, I have to decide what to do with my enormous PSX lightbox films and Nintendo walls (I tossed the ones I had to cut to fit into my car, but I kept the ones that came with a fold) as well as my nine years worth of E3 materials which are taking up way too much space.

longhairmike Apr 29, 2007

i still have a wall full of posters in my bedroom at my parents house,, mostly Loudness, Bill & Ted, Nuno Bettencourt, Steve Vai, & Yngwie..  but i think they can just stay there until i get that "either you take this crap or we're going to throw it all out" phone call...

Nick G Apr 29, 2007

I'm not (great). The only posters I ever had were the ones that came with the early Sega Genesis carts. It was just the box art blown up to poster size, hehe. I think I still have an Altered Beast one. I know I had a Golden Axe one. Does anyone know if there was a Revenge of Shinobi poster? That would have been cool!

Actually, I did have a poster of Death Duel for the Sega Genesis as well. I remember the game being delayed for months and how lame it was when it was finally released. The poster is cool, though.
