My massive porn collection.
My massive PC turns a few of my non gaming buddy's heads. And an esoteric show stopper is my original copy of Conker's Bad Fur Day on the N64.
Also, my large stack of dumbell/barbell weights turns a few heads, but for different reasons. Not the sort of thing you want to bump in to.
I also have a rubik's cube foot-rest... Well I think it's odd.

When people find out I find a sheepskin I'm often asked "Why would you want a sheepskin?!" Well I could use it for cosplaying and it's fluffy and warm and cuddly and I called it Will.
*cough*
Not weird at all. Plenty of people also find the fact that I own several figurines weird, as the sort of posters I've put on my wall. But very few people see those. 'Regular' people find the sort of things I do odd in general.
I mean, heavens I've met people who were surprised at the fact that I own a few books.

I have a baseball that hit me smack in the head at a Texas A&M game when I was little. It has its own little glass case now.
I also have a wall that was painted to be written on with chalk. I usually let people sign it or draw on it, but I have had a problem having to erase depictions of genitalia off of it...

Well, I have a sizable collection of military history literature that people find somewhat interesting. Certain people take interest in my Fender Highway One Jazz Bass as well. I don't really have anything mind-blowing overall though.
People wear plenty of hats. They just happen to be hats that are fashionable, unsurprisingly. Beanies, baseball caps, snapbacks *shudder* are all worn a fair amount, especially by younger generations. Hats are still a pretty big thing, I'd say. People don't wear fedoras or pork pie hats or whatever because their time in the sun has passed, and no amount of pairing them with mismatched attire will change that. Sorry if that came off as somewhat aggressive, but at least beanies etc. work as part of casual attire that is commonly worn nowadays - you can't really say the same of fedoras and their ilk, they're pretty hard to pull off unless you dress like Humphrey Bogart on a regular basis. Fair play to you though, if that is the caseambitiousmould said:
This isnt a personal attack, just an observation
And, it looks about a billion times classier! Never understood people who buy a sporty Corsa or Golf then pimp it to within an inch of its life, spending mad money in the process. At the end of the day it's still just a boring hatchback. All that money could just go on a better car, or at least one with more interest to it.Omega500 said:
OT. Not that much, in all honesty - I'm fairly nondescript other than my gangly physique. I've got a Fred Perry harrington jacket that I love, made in England, that gets positive comments now and again but I wouldn't say it was a head-turner as such; just a nice well-made jacket...
I have one, too. Also, I own a 1/8th scale Hatsune Miku Figurine still in the box http://www.cutesense.com/cutesense/product/07443/enlarge/Hatsune_Miku_Figure_CM_Version_5.jpgnvzboy said:

as well as a Boba Fett lamp/alarm clock/speaker, a metal poster of Racer X from the original Speed Racer series, a talking Achmed the Dead Terrorist plushie, a Hyabusa helmet from Halo 3 that I drew myself, A electronic Battleship game, Midnight Club 3: Dub Edition Remix for the PS2, A MASSIVE LEGO collection(~ 2m pieces in total), and http://www.barewalls.com/i/c/590465_KEEP-OUT-Gamer-at-Work.jpg on my door.
The jar of pickled Scorpions a friend brought me back from a trip to China in about 1996. Surprising there is anything left of them really.....
Hmmm... a 28 years old black leather trench coat, more swords than you should shake a stick at, a collection of straw fedoras, and a gold plated NES.
The NES usually makes people almost fall over when they turn to look at it.

Ummmm, not really, but I have the habit of wearing shoes of different colours (currently red (left) and green (right)) and that seems to distract people a lot.
Otherwise not much except a sweet beard.
I have a poster on my wall to hide a rip in the wall paper.(that's a another story)
People ask me "why do you smear shit on your wall?"
Sometimes I think the rip on the wall is prettier.

I wish I had yours! Mine just has my gamertag written down the sleeve and a dinky little N7.Fractral said:I've got a mass effect hoodie which I wear whenever I go out on something I feel is geeky. It's nice when people make comments about it, usually to the effect of 'that's awesome dude'.
Looks pretty much like this, but with a zip down the front.
The only comments our ever received was "ME3 was shit" T_T
I also wear a sheppy hoodie just about everywhere I go, and I've done the "I'm Commander Shepard and this is my favorite store on the Citadel" thing for a few people. Mine is patterned after the one shep wears in the game, though mine is looking a bit worn, seeing as I've worn it through an auto accident and the paramedics cut open the left sleeve(though it's sewn back up now). I'm going to get a few new ones when I get the money.Fractral said:I've got a mass effect hoodie which I wear whenever I go out on something I feel is geeky.

I have one just like it, but not made by Bioware; got it on eBay, for about 30 bucks if I'm not mistaken. I pretty much wear it when I go anywhere, and I do get a lot of compliments on it, and where to get it from. Personally, I'm not a overly huge fan of the Mass Effect series-its just really comfy, not too heavy and not too light.
I also have this:
Not as many compliments, but I do get a few stairs, particularly at my left or right arms...
