I had loads of Nintendo posters but I tore them all down a while back. Now I have a godzilla poster, some postcards from an exhibition I visited, and a girl with a tiger face.
I used to have loads of game/movie/metal posters and flags on the walls, but after wrecking so many wallpapers with blue tack I decided it was time to stop doing it.
The Star Wars '77 reprint, Fallout 3 Vault Boy poster, GTA IV Liberty City map, original artwork of G1 Optimus Prime and Megatron I bought off a smooth-talking black guy artist dude at a Montreal comic con, Marvel Minimates poster (the one with the '90s X-Men), A Link to the Past Nintendo Power poster from an SNES game's box, Return of the Jedi blue saber one-sheet, '90s Spider-Man Greg Hildebrand painting poster, NES "Nintendo Game Plan" poster, and various other shit like some newspaper clippings, ads from magazines, and plenty of action figures.
If I tried to hang any posters or things like that in the bedroom my wife would kill me. Paintings are fine, but something with a movie, game, or band I'd be sleeping on the couch for a week probably.
So I got landscape stuff, family and wedding pictures, and a painting of a wolf. The wolf is the closest to internet meme that I've been able to pull off, and that's because she doesn't know what it relates to. That fucking shirt can still get me laid.
I have posters of Pikmin, King Kong, and the Seahawks in my room. They have all been on the walls since I was in elementary school, I should really take them down.
Yeah I've been getting into buying nice game prints recently. I don't have too many though, I'm pretty picky. Here's some of my favs...
Huzzah Bastion! Signed by Jen ZeeSigned, numbered by artist. Also, beautifulMade by Jessie Lam, totally awesome person and artistSigned by some amazingly nice people at Valve, my absolute fav
Sure, I got a Star Wars New Hope movie poster in my study. Which is about become a nursery room. Wife hasn't said anything about taking it down and I am sure the baby doesn't mind it.

Does that explain even the lack of an avatar?
Why are you even married if you can't share your interests?
i have a TON of posters but only have 2 up atm due to being to lazy to put others up.. have the World Map with country maps on bottom and the US map due to me being a history / geography buff during highschool and being to lazy to check my text books for crap

Nah, couldn't really care about an avatar. I'm lazy like that though.
Also we share interests but there's a time and place for everything. The last thing I'd assume she'd want to see while going to sleep or fucking is a Starcraft 2 poster with a Skyrim poster next to that. Stuff like that goes in the computer den, not the bedroom, living room, or any other sort of room. A band poster I could probably pull off in the living room, but I doubt I'd be able to get my Dark Knight poster that I got from a theater in the living room.
She's like that though. I don't mind. I actually kind of agree with her for the most part. It's a house, not a bachelor pad.

Interesting. Is it mutual where she can't do things in excess? Are you the same with her stuff? Because I don't like if women are doing the "improve my man" shtick yet can't take back any criticism of their habits.
I haven't found a video game poster I like well enough based on a game I like well enough to hang on my bedroom wall. I have a bookshelf full of statues and other nerdy shit though. Otherwise I have a few concert posters and some movie posters.

Yeah. When we first bought the house she wanted to paint the interior in some really stupid colours and I said no. It ended there. There have been times when I wanted to watch a movie or something and she wanted to watch some crappy show on TV, sometimes I get it my way sometimes she gets it her way. There have been times when I wouldn't let her hang pictures because they looked shitty or when she asked if I'd take down the titty calender in the garage and I said no. It goes both ways.
There's no reason in being petty over something like a poster, picture, or anything else. If there's a legitimate argument for why it would be a stupid idea that's that. There's give and take, you just have to pick your battles when you give so you can take later. Best piece of advice my old man ever gave me, and he's been married to my mom for over 30 years so he knows how it works.
I currently have a framed, signed Giant Bomb poster by the lovely Kat Smith (TurboToaster). I will soon have the Tested poster, and two of the Mak Temkin philosophy posters from his new Kickstarter. Need to get frames for all of them.
In college my dorm room was plastered with silly posters. Mostly about drinking and video games and stuff. When I got out of college my roommate and I had an office for our computers and since we were both way into WoW we had a couple of WoW posters in there. That's about it.
