Message: <blockquote data-quote="Bullgrit" data-source="post: 5384704" data-attributes="member: 31216">LOL! Thanks, everyone.When I checked this thread last night before going to bed, I thought, “Really? No one found this photo worth commenting on?”Now, though, I see folks are appreciating it <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":-)" title="Smile    :-)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":-)" />Some notes:This picture shows about one-third of my office/game room, (and about one-tenth of my geeky possessions). The room is not normally as crowded as it looks, here, as I had to move around a few items to get them in the field of view. And some items I wanted in the shot, I just couldn’t manage. (Like the framed Darlene map of the World of Greyhawk – it’s hanging on the wall to the left of the photographer.)Farrah Fawcett: That is an original 1976 poster I have kept for over 30 years. It spent the vast majority of those 30 years rolled up in a tube, waiting for me to have a good place to hang it.Space Hulk: That is a first edition Space Hulk game. My 9-year-old son has stomped me several times playing it – he always plays the genestealers.Wedding ring: I actually considered Photoshopping *out* the wedding ring LOL! It kind of looks like I’m drawing attention to it with that hand forming the Vulcan sign.Captain America shield: It is a real shield, (though made of wood); it’s hanging on the closet door knob by an arm strap.Poster on the right wall: That’s the AD&D [1st edition] modules [color covers] published up through 1985. I organized the images myself and had a local office printing store print it.iPhone: When I took one of the first tries at this shot, I had left my [new] iPhone partially in the shot. Seeing the mistake, I figured it might be funny to place it fully in the pic – to include some more recent geekiness, and as a little proof that this pic isn’t something from 1987 <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":-)" title="Smile    :-)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":-)" />Rubik’s Cube: I solved it with help many years ago, and I keep it in its solved state.I really love my office/game room, and I had fun setting up this picture. Thanks for playing along with the captions.Bullgrit</blockquote>
