I always like to see how people have their gaming area’s setup. Mine was pretty lame and evolved throughout my years in EQOA.
Starting out, I sat on the end of a twin sized bed in our guest room. The 27″ RCA 1991 TV (which we still have and still works… used to play Duck Hunt on that thing) sat on a really old white desk.
After spending enough time and enough late nights in that room, I pretty much reclaimed the area. I added a new bed, new tv stand, and of course — an actual chair.
Yet what I remember most about this setup was the music. Even though I had the early 90’s TV, I somehow didn’t have a boombox. Instead I had a cd player with plug in, battery powered speakers. Pure genius.
What went through those speakers? None other than late 90’s, early 00’s classics:
- Pearl Jam – Yield
- Incubus – Make Yourself
- Linkin Park – Meteora
- Everclear – So Much for the Afterglow
- John Mayer – Room for Squares
- Rage Against the Machine – Renegades
I believe the artist I over played the most was the old Linkin Park songs. Each and every time that plays on the radio or I play it myself it brings back fond memories of EQOA.
Linkin Park was money during the EQOA days. Used to listen to that and Everclear on the way to school.
