Working in an office completely void of anything videogame related (and I mean completely void) I have to make do with what I have so that it feel like gaming has a presence… at least in my cubicle.
Call me obsessed, but it keeps me sane.
The power up mushroom, NES controller and PSP are all mint/candy containers. The 360, PS3 and Wii are gift card holders, and the lil’ Dissidia Zidane I purchased while I was in LA for E3.
After returning from Los Angeles last month I still had E3 swag and badges in my bag. So I thought, meeeh, they’re just going to sit in boxes at home or get thrown away, so I’ll hang up my media badge and Activision preview event badge as well. Every… day…I stare… and long… to go back….
I have some other miscellaneous crap up there like a ZomBcon card as well as a Nintendo calendar.
As much as I would LOVE to bring other collectibles from home, people have reported things being stolen off desks. Taking a mint container is one thing, but if my replica Hyrule sword/shield combo goes missing I might go batshit ><
But even with all of my junk hanging on the wall, I have a void space above my left monitor. Anyone have any ideas of what to put there? I’d love to duct tape a live Moogle to it or something, but let’s be realistic. They are way too hard to catch.
Do you have anything geeky/dorky/nerdy in your work area? If so, pics or it didn’t happen! (Okay fine, you can just describe it).

I made a full background for my cubicle out of Super Mario Bros. levels, from the beginning of the game to the end (the speed run way). Took quite a bit of time and printer ink. I followed that up with setting my wallpaper to such a way that when it is locked, goombas were surrounding the lock dialog, as well as some other Mario spritework.
Mighty fine desk Britt but I think my work area is a tad better. (I work from home after all) Dual monitors and 52′ LCD are the center pieces of my work area with some Spawn/Anime figurines too. PS3 at arms reach at all times! ;)
As for your empty space, how about a DragonAge poster?
I did a post all about my geeky workspace a while back! Lots of great stuff between me and my husband.
See here.

whoa whoa whoa!?!?! where is is the double facepalm…(http://fstatic1.mtb-news.de/img/photos/4/1/4/7/7/_/large/double-facepalm.jpg)
Figured that would be up on your wall by now
paint a portal aperture science labs behind it.
@Wayne: DUDE! That sounds awesome! If you can snap a pic of that I’d love to see it.
@Walter: Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Actually the poster is a good idea!
@Rosalind: NICE! That’s great. /jealous :)
@dottmayne: HAHA I had it up there for a while until someone accidentally tore it down. I need another one up there.
@James: Hmm…I don’t know if I could get away with that!
My suggestion is to do a huge sprite art picture of something using push pins. Maybe a large push pin Samus would do.
Best part of your desktop has to be your keyboard!!! I love that ergo layout.
I love mah ergo!
Set of original Starcraft action figures, a LEGO robot, star destroyer, and Indiana Jones (complete with motorcycle and Nazi roadblock), two replica kevlar helmets, and bunch of little RC helicopters.
And this pile of show/convention badges http://imgur.com/7G9Qm.jpg
DAAAAAAANG. Nicely done! That’s quite the gaggle of badges!

down to only 4 monitors now though :-( , but got the Microsoft Natural keyboard as well – definitely better than the programmable WeyTec one in the picture (which was nearly an antique), and forces me to touch type rather than jab at the keys with 2 fingers!
@Phil HOLY COW!
