0:03

0:06

0:09
you want to build a room for your gaming
0:12
or actually for any at home office
0:15

Let's Roll
0:21
[Music]
0:32
foreign
0:36
good afternoon everybody this is
0:38
alternate universe live a part of the
0:40
official Rob Glasser Network
0:43
my name is Rob of course we got my
0:45
co-host I call her mom you can call her
0:47
whatever
0:49
um
0:52
all right so today and I'm actually
0:54
switching the script a little bit
0:56
because I'm thinking about it as I'm
0:57
looking through we can use these of
0:59
building up any sort of at-home
1:00
workspace
1:02
um because honestly not everybody is a
1:04
gamer in the sense of gaming as this
1:06
website talks about but this website
1:09
also points out that you don't have to
1:11
be a gamer to do these things so
1:14
these are 10 of the best decorating
1:16
ideas for your gaming slash work
1:20
slash fun room let's call it that one
1:22
okay number one consider the entire room
1:27
and space available
1:29
if you have spare rooms in the house you
1:32
can signify one or maybe two rooms to
1:35
put all of your uh gaming stuff
1:38
if you're a hardcore gamer that would
1:41
mean things like your computer your
1:43
chairs your lights and more if you're
1:46
like my mom here who has the green
1:48
screen you can also put your green
1:49
screen if you are doing uh gaming or
1:52
other work but consider what you have to
1:55
work with just because you don't have an
1:57
entire room doesn't mean you can't make
1:59
a space
2:01
um with that being said
2:03
keep in mind obviously be kind to those
2:06
who are in the house with you so if you
2:08
do need to make some noise pick a way to
2:10
do it where you're going to have your
2:12
privacy you're going to have your
2:14
availability but you're not going to be
2:15
bugging
2:16
people in your area or you can just do
2:20
what we did before and just make a game
2:21
room and put all your puzzles and board
2:23
games or video games and that's your
2:25
game room it's just where you game
2:26
because that's what you do
2:28
number two ambient lighting now again
2:31
this goes for almost anybody
2:33
Lighting in general makes a huge
2:35
difference whether it is natural light
2:37
from your window uh artificial from your
2:41
ceiling fan or in this case specific LED
2:45
or other lighting for it now you like
2:48
the uh rings for the computer I don't
2:51
have it on right now you have one up
2:52
exactly
2:54
um I personally don't it's a little too
2:56
shiny in my face but you can add things
2:59
to your computer to help also for those
3:02
who are gaming regularly it's not so
3:04
good for the eyeballs so the correct
3:07
lighting will also help with strain
3:10
um there are I don't know what you call
3:13
it I guess spectrum color type of deals
3:16
that are supposed to imitate the correct
3:18
light so you're not focusing on the
3:21
artificial the entire time but you'd
3:23
agree you use it on your computer right
3:25
correct lighting
3:28
yeah but you can be seen I mean I I
3:31
don't just use
3:32
the rich you know I have lights on
3:33
either side of me and when I do have my
3:35
green screen up I have a light that's
3:38
actually behind me so that I don't like
3:40
disappear into the green so lighting is
3:42
so important yeah there you go and again
3:45
for those who are gaming you need the
3:47
light because honestly if you're sitting
3:48
that many hours doing that it's you know
3:51
yeah all right number three find the
3:53
correct entertainment center or unit if
3:55
you are handy make one for yourself uh
3:59
DIY it Ikea it do whatever you want if
4:03
you want to get one cremated even better
4:05
because it's already done it's up to you
4:07
to know what you want it for in my
4:10
office which is not a game room uh well
4:12
not an official game room
4:14
um I had my set desk it works perfectly
4:17
however if you guys have seen people on
4:20
YouTube or others and they show you a
4:21
picture of their room it's an entire
4:24
Electronics layout kind of like what you
4:27
would see in a business not even for the
4:29
home
4:30
um but just as if you were picking out a
4:33
TV unit right for your television at
4:35
home right pick the entertainment center
4:37
that fits and works you don't want it
4:40
too big you also don't want it too small
4:43
but you wanted to fit all of your
4:45
equipment you want to be able to step in
4:47
there you want to have enough space to
4:49
put all of your systems your computer
4:51
whatever it is you're using right if
4:54
it's not a lot of stuff go small if you
4:56
have a lot of things
4:58
you know fill it out make it work maybe
5:00
go up we talked about before a great way
5:02
of organizing is go up and you can get
5:05
shelving units that actually go to the
5:07
ceiling
5:08
all right number four talked about this
5:11
a second ago sound proofing very
5:13
important if you're on a business
5:15
meeting the last thing you want to hear
5:16
is something from inside the house or
5:18
outside the house we have dogs you have
5:21
dogs many people working at home have a
5:24
pet they have a spouse or a family
5:26
member soundproofing is very important
5:29
now more so important with gaming
5:31
because I don't play with the sound it's
5:33
too distracting I play everything on
5:35
silent but if you guys have listened to
5:38
a video game recently the music the if
5:42
you're playing a shooter game if you're
5:43
playing a space game there's a lot of
5:46
going on and it's not always Pleasant to
5:49
everybody sitting around you
5:51
um for that fact soundproofing now some
5:55
people go as far as building their own
5:57
room and soundproofing the walls that's
6:00
a little more work than needs to be done
6:02
but you can buy cheaper alternatives to
6:05
put on the walls but outside the walls
6:07
or you can just figure out ways yeah
6:10
they're Square they're Square foam core
6:13
things yeah it's little foam things
6:15
right on your wall and it sucks up all
6:17
the sound all that noise it's really
6:19
kind of cool and the easiest thing to do
6:21
guys is if you don't have to worry about
6:22
it put on your headphones if you're the
6:25
only person who has to hear it just
6:27
attach your things to the computer and
6:29
do it that way that way nobody hears
6:31
anything you don't have to worry about
6:32
soundproofing and you still get to hear
6:34
the experience so whatever way you do it
6:36
but it works great for meetings right I
6:38
mean because you want to make sure that
6:40
you're doing your work and you're doing
6:41
it of course you know when I do my stuff
6:43
I close my door but still I can hear the
6:45
dogs on the outside if they're whining I
6:47
can hear the cat from the other you know
6:49
right so whatever works for you and
6:52
again if you're not a hardcore most of
6:54
those are going to sound kind of odd
6:56
most people like I just game for fun
6:57
which most of us do but there are a few
7:00
a select few right that really really do
7:03
this full-time and this is the kind of
7:05
stuff that you'd want to you know right
7:07
do that pick what works for you guys
7:09
that's what we're saying now just like
7:11
you're going to pick your entertainment
7:12
center number five says pick the correct
7:14
home theater system I remember willing
7:17
we had with the sound system and the
7:19
walls that gave you the 3D for watching
7:21
a movie you get the same thing for here
7:23
I believe it's actually the same exact
7:25
equipment just obviously a newer version
7:28
um but also it's the TV it's the
7:31
computer it's the the gaming the device
7:34
whatever it is right right yeah and you
7:37
want to make sure the theater system is
7:39
working for you you don't want to go
7:42
overboard if you're only doing it like
7:44
for instance how I'm trying to set it up
7:45
is I I need the very minimum because I'm
7:47
not going full screen my Mac works
7:51
perfectly fine as my my thing but you
7:56
know some people have five different
7:57
screens on right uh for work I know
8:00
Krista does it for her she has the two
8:02
screens I think you did at one point but
8:04
a lot of people will use more than one
8:06
screen for gaming as well and of course
8:09
you can't fit through computers on a
8:11
desk
8:12
you're gonna have to do it so pick a
8:14
theater system that works again you know
8:16
it seems kind of silly and again not
8:18
just me I'm not going to spend all the
8:19
money to buy gigantic TVs for my
8:21
whatever but
8:24
from what I know and what I've seen
8:26
people do that probably how Best Buy
8:29
stuff is staying in business because
8:30
people are buying 15 TVs at one time for
8:33
God knows how many money
8:35
number six you wanted to be inviting
8:39
so not not just for you because
8:41
obviously you're gonna go in there
8:42
anyway but let's say you want to invite
8:44
people in or you want to just have a fun
8:46
space to go make the area inviting
8:49
whether it's pictures whether it's the
8:52
music whether it's I don't know rugs
8:55
couches whatever you want to play dad
8:57
cares exactly pick things that you want
9:00
now they even go as far as if you want
9:01
to be real geek you can get arcade games
9:04
still refurbished so a Pac-Man machine
9:07
or Super Mario you can get that stuff if
9:11
you if you want to pay but it really is
9:14
kind of cool if you are more of the
9:15
physical activity they say turn it into
9:17
kind of a bar setting get your dartboard
9:20
get your pool table we has bowling you
9:24
can bowl on the Wii and you can make
9:25
your thing feel like a bowling alley if
9:27
you want or if you have the money buy a
9:29
bowling alley
9:30
um
9:32
I don't even know where I saw that but
9:34
I'm just yeah
9:36
um and then of course pick your thing so
9:38
you know obviously say we know mine but
9:40
pick what you like pick what you want to
9:42
decorate with and make it fun they say
9:45
that for those who might have or family
9:47
and they have kids you want to make it
9:49
safe for everybody so make it fun for
9:51
not only the person playing
9:52
but the people who are coming to watch
9:55
right as I just mentioned second go
9:57
number seven wall decor you have your
10:00
pictures I got my stuff back here I have
10:02
my posters all around which you know I
10:05
see but pick some cool wall decor
10:07
doesn't have to just be pictures right
10:09
you can put up
10:10
um you know there's quotes right make it
10:13
inviting that you want to go in there
10:16
so you know if you if you're a Marvel
10:19
person DC Pokemon pick things that you
10:22
like to put up there and make it your
10:24
own
10:25
you can you know do whatever there's
10:27
there's giant stickers you can put on
10:28
the wall now I think it's a it's a
10:30
company and they're characters and
10:32
they're like sports people and you could
10:33
stick them on the wall and they're just
10:35
giant stickers and you just stick
10:37
stickers around your wall you know it's
10:39
okay it's a whole whatever you want to
10:41
do economy out there
10:44
number eight it's not just for video
10:46
games so they you know they talk about
10:48
you know TV series where there's
10:50
characters that have they go all the way
10:52
back to Wizards of Waverly Place that
10:54
show with Selena Gomez on it they had
10:55
their game room How I Met Your Mother
10:57
they had you their game room people have
11:00
game rooms even in the fictional world
11:01
and it's not just to be gaming it's just
11:05
a place to go to be geeky nerdy fun they
11:08
use characters like Mario Dungeons and
11:11
Dragons all that stuff
11:13
it doesn't matter what you're doing it
11:15
it's just a game room is a place to game
11:18
whatever game it is you want right or
11:20
just to chill and relax you know if you
11:22
want to watch TV grab some popcorn
11:25
or do a podcast or do it do a puzzle
11:28
they say hey play Monopoly rummy poker
11:30
chess right it's a game room guys go
11:33
play
11:35
nine appropriate seating arrangements
11:38
Now you kind of split on that a second
11:40
ago
11:41
um pick things that are comfortable to
11:42
sit on there's those egg chairs there's
11:46
uh the bean bags they're swivel chairs
11:48
if you actually are able to hang a chair
11:50
in your you know nail it to the wall
11:53
pick something comfortable and Amazon or
11:55
Best Buy or Bed Bath and Beyond are a
11:58
great place to find that stuff because
11:59
they are Decor school right I don't know
12:01
about Amazon but Bed Bath and Beyond is
12:03
a Decor store you can buy stuff there in
12:05
Best Buy because they know what people
12:07
want they now sell chairs and big bags
12:11
and stuff because
12:12
right they have a joke they're like
12:14
wouldn't you want Captain Kirk's chair
12:16
from the bridge of the Enterprise you
12:17
can probably get that too if you want it
12:20
if you had five thousand dollars on you
12:22
I don't know but some of the examples
12:24
they recommend ottoman is gaming desk
12:26
chairs sofas uh recliners uh if you want
12:30
to get really fun you can get the
12:31
vibrating ones that actually hook up and
12:33
when you watch a movie or play a game it
12:35
actually like
12:38
that's a little weird it's kind of like
12:40
a Universe Studios remember with those
12:42
the rides where you know but you can get
12:44
them for your room now I don't know how
12:46
much they are so you know but
12:48
if you want to have some fun with it go
12:50
for it and then number 10 and this is
12:52
one that if you've seen people that I've
12:54
uh videoed with before that have geeky
12:56
Collectibles it's a great place to put
12:58
them in your game room now I put mine
13:00
here because this is where I do most of
13:02
my visual but sometimes you're overrun
13:05
with bigger Collectibles right and stuff
13:07
like that one of the guys that I was
13:09
doing with when he came on with me the
13:11
back of his was all of his Star Wars and
13:13
his Marvel and all that stuff I have a
13:15
friend Rob who her husband is a big Star
13:18
Wars guy I mean and he literally has
13:20
five rooms in the house that are
13:23
designated as Star Wars Star Wars rooms
13:26
I mean literally shelves the bathroom
13:28
was one of them he has what one of their
13:30
bathrooms has been turned into a Star
13:32
Wars bathroom so I guess you can go a
13:33
little crazy on that I guess
13:36
you know if you got the space and the
13:39
time and the money go have fun with that
13:41
with that
13:43
yeah exactly so I know it's about game
13:46
Roots but it's really a way to set up
13:48
your your offices so to get you involved
13:51
a little bit more what ideas would you
13:53
take for your hot for your office or
13:55
what ideas have you take from this list
13:57
well I
13:58
I feel with them I mean I use my
14:00
lighting and um I haven't yet put
14:02
soundproofing up but that actually is on
14:04
the list of things to do
14:06
um the more shows you do the better you
14:08
want them to be right so I am doing that
14:10
I obviously have a background but I do
14:12
use my green screen on occasion
14:15
um it's just you know you have to
14:17
actually make the time to set up the
14:19
green screen and put everything you know
14:20
together so those are the things that I
14:22
do and I don't have a game room per se
14:25
but I have a puzzle space so does that
14:27
count thank you
14:29
if you decorate it sure you know for
14:32
sure my puzzles all right that's fine
14:35
