Computer Geek: A
1012 year old artifact computer as reference material regarding computer operations and such (it helped me determine if my present computer needed more power; the answer was yes, thanks to inspecting it; I also have a bunch of old boxes for different components). Secondary to that, a buttload of old game manuals and an old collection of 3 1/2 floppy disks with games as far back as Lemmings and Doom II. I also have some of those really old big floppy disks (like for the old Commodore 64/128 and old 386 computers; better known as the classic B:\ drive disks). Hell, I wouldn't be too shocked if I can find an old CD case for the 386 before CD trays were used. You know the kind, you load the CD into these things, then load them into a computer like a tape/disk. Ah, memories.
Anime/Manga: A Miroku (Inuyasha) figure my cousin got me as a gift (considering my resemblance to him). Secondary: A scale model of a Tachikoma from a model kit. Although it's in pieces thanks to falling one too many times, I'm missing pieces for it. Optionally: Seeing as figure drawing is one of my weaknesses, and also because I like the style and simplicity of execution, a couple books on how to draw anime/manga characters. I like some of the methods of executing. It has actually helped out in some of my art classes, and if I can get enough skill, mix that along with some of my designing, and I can come up with some awesome renderings, provided I'm not too lazy.
Comics: Some Far Side and Calvin & Hobbes comic book collections. Secondary: Matt Groening's Big Book of Hell. Optionally: Though belonging more with above, a couple manga books.
Books: Lord of The Rings and Dune books, and I also apparently came across a copy of 'Ender's Game' near my bed. Secondary: Old class books (College Level), and a couple old year books from "the good ol' days". Optional: Random other books of reference (like gun and weapon books for design references); also some Guinness Book of World Records books, an aircraft collector's book (incomplete, for reference), and numerous puzzle books, at least one I have completed (not writing in, but more of a scan/copy and fill the pages in; helps preserve the book for the future).
Design: Old design class books, Secondary: My drawing kits, sketchbooks, and a mini-artist's model. Optional: Older sketch pads and reference material at least 15 years old (which I find entertaining, since I've been recycling ideas, and haven't realized it until recently). Speaking of artwork, I have at least one of my best airship designs hanging above my computer, and on the other side of the wall is what appears to be a bullet train which is inspired by an episode of Trigun and an Assault level (AS-Convoy) in UT2004. It looks awesome, think of it like a jet-powered building on wheels. More of a land-aircraft carrier/cargo ship that traverses desert worlds at great speeds.
Gaming: My present computer (with a secondary mac, if it ever returns); Secondary: Old computer games and devices (Old Sega Master System game cartridges, GBA and some games, tons of PS2 and XBOX games and cases, along with a PS2 and soft-modded XBOX fully functional still).
Random: A big ol' box of Lego and a Mindstorms kit from when they first came out. Secondary: An old Erector Kit for the X-Wing Starfighter, and I think in a box somewhere in my room is the half-complete model of that, along with a broken model of an A-10 Warthog/Thunderbolt, and tons of other random things including old Lego builds like I featured in LDD threads, and rockets with faulty parachutes and all. Optionally: All sorts of Navy/seafaring/nautical stuff, ranging from old boat beacons, a display of knots and such, to even a picture of my grandfather decked out in his Navy uniform (from when he was around my age. Quite a resemblance there as well). Along with the seafaring/nautical gear, I also have a barometer which has helped me predict weather conditions many times without even having to peek outside. Overall, alot of this stuff is helpful for lots of my creativity and inspiration. Oh, and a telescope, though I can't really get a good look at anything through it, it has collected so much dust.
Pop Culture: Star Wars Episode I Naboo Fighter rocket kit, not removed from box and a box of Puzz3D for making a Star Destroyer; also a Star Wars chess set. I also have a Robby Robot from Forbidden Planet somewhere in my room, and old Terminator model that had glowing eyes and a voice pack, a stormtrooper (same scale as Terminator) but missing blaster rifle and forearm, A Samurai jack and Sonic plush, a Rubik's Cube 3x3, and whatever other old crap my mom has collected over the ages that seem to fit the theme of my room, like a Peter Pan collectible or something; including bunches of old Disney classics that are no longer in production (or at least, old VHS tapes still in good order, with an old Disney Sing-Along which still has the original footage of the Pirates of thew Caribbean ride before censors butchered the hell out of it (TVTropes even references this tape with the footage, if I recall correctly
). I also have a few Monty Python items ranging from the classic VHS of Holy Grail, and even the CD-ROM game of the same name, as well as the Great Waste of Time collection.
Room Snacking: A regular supply of Ginger Snaps and Yoo-hoo, and numerous reusable bottles for water.
