  Dust knows no boundaries.

    Haha true, but only dust for me, no pets. I guess having carpet doesn’t help either. Let’s just say that it adds to the vibe.

      I was just about to say the dust fits. It does add to the vibe.

  From a more civilized age.

    Right? It feels like gaming peaked with the 6th console generation. Just a fun time to look back at.

    When the Wii launched, a few pundits called it “two GameCubes taped together”, which I thought was a bit rude and overly dismissive.

    Years later, I started really looking into the technical side of things, and oh my goodness it really is almost two GameCubes taped together. I mean, it works wonderfully and I’m not knocking it, but IIRC the majority of what’s under the hood is either an upgraded version of what was in the GCN, or a doubling of the capacity (in some cases literally two) of the same component.

      And that’s fine too, I think. This is what gave the Wii the perfect backwards compatibility, allowing many more people to enjoy Gamecube games on original hardware without getting a Gamecube, which are way more expensive today.

      And you know, the Wii is like a beast when it comes to sub HD stuff. It’s the most powerful console that ever released that wasn’t designed with HD TVs in mind. That lead to many Wii games just looking really damn good and clean. Seriously, Mario Galaxy on a CRT in RGB looks absolutely stunning.

      But maybe they did go to far trying the same thing again with the Wii U.

  And a VCR! Looove this setup, takes me back.

    That VCR is from my parents, they don’t use it anymore. I don’t really have any tapes for it though.

    We had the first 3 Star Wars movies on VHS, which was the reason I set the thing up. Unfortunately, these tapes have somehow disappeared completely, they are nowhere to be found.

    So it’s just decoration for now, but I’ll definitley get some other movies one day. Thank you for your comment!

      Lol for years I had a tv VCR combo with only The Goonies, In The Army Now, and some old MASH episodes someone put on a tape. A simpler time indeed!

  There’s a certain time of day that my little stack sits nicely in the sun with the cabinet door open.

  Thanks for sharing!

    Yeah, having some evening sun shine into a room just gives it a great vibe. I just wish it wasn’t 29°C in here

    Anyway, thanks for commenting as well!
