Gaming room is a go!

Hell yeah, I feel like a little kid again .

I live in a household with three adults and two children. There's my sister and her daughter, and her boyfriend who has a daughter of his own. They have been together since the girls were less than a year old (they are 8 & 9 now) and I've been there for almost 3 years now. While I'm perfectly capable of living on my own they need my help with the girls and I like being around family. There are some drawbacks to this situation though. The biggest one for me is that the only space I can dedicate for gaming also happens to be were I work when I'm at home. This can be counter productive for obvious reasons (who would work when the 360 is right there next to the computer).

We have 2 360's, one in the living room and one at my desk. My Sister told me a few months ago that she wanted to sell the furniture in the unused sitting room. She told me when she sold it she was going to let me turn it into a game room. I dismissed it, and told her I'd believe it when the room was empty.

Sunday afternoon a guy came and picked up the couch, love seat, recliner and all the tables that were in there.

15 minutes later an order was placed for 2 Playseat Evolutions and 2 sets of Trittons (Forza2 LAN Racing FTW!). She picked up the tab with the money she made selling the furniture. Nice.

I still need to get 2 displays to mount on the walls and haven't decided on the size yet. I've already got a 19 inch widescreen monitor to test out. It may be too small though. I may end up getting 2 26 inch displays to go in there. Wally World has a few for under $500 each that would work nicely for this.

Once I'm done with it all I'll take some pictures for all to see.

More random sketches and unfinished color tests, all a few months old. All the poses were referenced from various Comic Books:


















And this is a photo of a door in the alley next to my office, I just thought it looked cool:

Thanks a lot for sharing. You have done a brilliant job. Your article is truly relevant to my study at this moment, and I am really happy I discovered your website. However, I would like to see more details about this topic. I'm going to keep coming back here.

awesome deal, when I finally get a home (tired of apartments, it'll be soon) I plan on dedicating a room to gaming/movies. Have fun :)

That seat looks like a cross between a midevil torture device and a pleasure seat you'd find at a local brothel. :D
