Shenske's Projects & Thoughts

  I'm Moving!  

Just giving everyone a little heads up on my cover making and processing.  I am in the midst of moving about 30 miles from where i currently live. With moving, class and work i haven't really been able to work on that many cover lately and likely wont be able to for at least a few weeks.  I look forward to being situated in my new house and get back to business

So this new house, are we to assume it has plenty of space for displaying your collection?

Haha, not quite. Its about the same space i have now but i get to live by myself! I'd have to get at least 5 more full size shelves (on top of the 3 i already have) in order to display everything i have. I'll see what i can do

Is this your first house all to your self?

just curious, cause i recently got a house (first time without roomates and stuff) and the best part is truly the amount of space i can dedicate to games movies and comics. rooms that shouls never have any of the three, and no one to complain .... except occansionally when the parents come to visit. 

best of luck on the move

If I ever get my own house in the future, I want to cut a hole in the wall just so my collection can recess into it, giving me more floorspace. That's gonna take some planning though. Shame my mom doesn't approve of such a thing, cause my Dad built this house many years ago and we could find the perfect spot for it. Eh, I'll be out of the house by next year anyway

Moving into my own place was amazing and allowed me to have an entire room dedicated to Retro. Luckily my wife enjoys the 80s as much as I do so the Retro Room stays.

I've been in my own apartment for a while now. It's pretty nice save for the fact that I don't have my own car and have to call people constantly for rides

I'd love to have my own place. My biggest problem is finding a place that allows animals around here because my dog and I can't live without each other. I also don't like the state I live in (Illinois). My boyfriend lives in Alabama, which is a much better place from what I've seen of it. I really don't want to move and then move again shortly after, but at the same time it wouldn't be smart to move to a whole new state right off the bat.

I'm in Miami and I own my place so I can have my dogs. Alabama is a great place if you like the country. If you live in somewhere like Chicago and you are going to a small town in Alabama prepare for a culture shock once you are living out here, visiting is a different story. My cousin tried moving from NW Indiana to Kentucky and it was too much for him to the point that he moved back in less than a year.

I've moved all around and I can say that I personally like the country way better but I also don't want snow.

my house has two living rooms, got one for an old CRT with DC, SNES, Genesis, NES, GCN and PSOne hooked up, and a second with all the HD stuff. its pretty sick, and all my game shelves are in the dining room, cause its the only room with enough space.

All of my cart based systems are in my Retro Room. The disc based besides the current generation is in my bedroom and the new systems are in the family room along with my MAME arcade cabinet. Of course now that I have the SNES Kiosk it's moved into the dining room and I've convinced the wife to allow me to put a bookshelf there.

Here is a little side project i decided to finally finish with my spare copy of "Pocket Monsters Green"  
Oh how i love kryon fusion and a nice matte finish for good measure.

Beautiful out come 
Is that just custom paint job + label, or does that contain English rom as well?

Just a custom paint job and label. I have yet to find a good rom translation for the game. The translations out there are engrish and/or don't have the "American" names for the pokemon.
