moar inFamous for me

so i guess i totally just won this thing off eBay a few hours ago. I'm pretty excited about it.

It's made of cloth, and is about 6ft tall. Now I have a 6ft tall display for both inFamous and inFamous 2!! Though I'm really wondering how I hope to snap a photo of it. The inFamous 2 one was difficult enough to photograph, but it was made of cardboard so I could stand it up against something... this is cloth! How does? I'm sure I'll figure something out. Seriously wish I had space enough to put it up somewhere. I should make it a goal to make myself an inFamous museum one day. I have enough stuff by now, I'm sure.

An insider source told me about 100~ of them exist. Lucky Lucky me! I still regularly stalk inFamous auctions, and nothing really has turned up lately. The less I find things the more happy I feel with my collection. I have a lot of things that I've only seen listed once or twice... most notably, of course, the AMP, the karmic Cole statues... and perhaps one that I find a personal favorite, the guide to empire city. Absolutely love that thing. I've only ever seen it listed once though, and it was the one I bought.

Can a talent just be having a large hoard of memorabilia for a video game no one plays? I'm pretty ok with this.

I might start working on picking up a few Resistance items here or there, if/when I have the cash. Just because. I do already have a few interesting things. But as far as games go, its probably one of the most important ones to me. It makes sense, right?

Congrats! That looks awesome. Does it have anything to hang it by?

The auction just said the actual cloth thing, and in the photo it looks like its held up by those plastic paper clippy things. My inside source that knows about these things said they originally came with metal hanging rods...but it appears to be missing off this one. :I maybe i'll try seeing if my source can get one

If your walls are full, why not display things on your ceiling?! That is unless your ceiling is full too?! I know my bedroom ceiling is but I wanted it to look like the night sky is why...:3

The link to the inFamous book is not working for me!! ;_;

YEA EVERYTHING IS FULL UP. :C well, sort of. there's not really a good place on my ceiling for a 6ft banner. D: sadly.

it's not?? D: ...im not sure why? it's my personal website. it loads for my ok. ;-;

I know the feeling!! Maybe, turn it into a blanket?! I guess, you could always store it away until the day you move out?! I'm not sure what else you could really do with it? I wish I could be of more help...

I tried the link again and this time it worked!! Not sure what the problem was before?! Stupid laptop...XD

For now it's probably going to just be stored until I have more space. someday. I am sure whenever I move I will want to prominently display inFamous anyway. I will probably arrange things around so I can do that as I set stuff up the first time. :b It will make it easier.

YEAH THAT IS REALLY ODD. :( maybe it was just the internet being buggy? Though sometimes I get my website to give me issues occasionally. Thankfully its not too much...considering I'm paying for the service and all. lol.

If and when you do get a place, it will be an inFamous museum of wonders. You will just have to make sure you find a place big enough, LOL!! XD

I am leaning more towards buggy internet. It has been acting up some the past couple of days. Today, things seem to be running smoothly but Pickles and I were also gone for a good chunk of it!! :P

The thing I will need the most of is wall space! LOL. unless i get a unique way to display all my posters. :b

I know what you mean about wall space! Of course, ceilings and doors always work great too...;)

I still think that thing is super awesome :D and especially since there were so few of them made. I'm glad you won it.

[identity profile] antoj.livejournal.com 2012-01-30 10:27 pm (UTC)(link)
IT IS SUPER AWESOME. and yes it being rare is bonus points for me. *_* so excite.

Super awesome, man! Maybe just hang it up somewhere to photograph it? owo

[identity profile] antoj.livejournal.com 2012-01-31 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
right now I think my best bet is going to be to hang it off my bed for a photo. We'll see when I get it though. :D I'm super excited.

That looks super cool. :D I had no idea they even made something like that. Was it some sort of promotional display I guess? Or maybe not since it was limited. IT'S COOL THOUGH. ;3; You should just have a room entirely filled with your infamoose stuff someday. I think that will solve the space issue. :'D

I like the idea of a resistance collection too, esp with the recent news about the series and like you said, it is important to you. c: Resistance is just cool anyway. I have to wonder if there is very much merch for it though? But then again, it does have 3 games versus the 2 that infamous has, so who knows.
