Nothing fancy. Just bought a house and going from a 700 Sq Ft apartment to a 2100 Sq Ft house tends to dwarf your furniture. Plenty of time to fill it out though! Unfortunately everything seems to blend together and it's dark so if you can't tell then that's a Wii U, PS4, Xbox One X, and PC in the entertainment center.
This is the upstairs office, it's more so an office than a gaming area but some gaming does take place!
No, it's the Tamiya Frog. I do have a Grasshopper of sorts. The new Comical release but I didn't include it in my uploads. Here it is, I have so much bias lighting that my pics don't translate too well.
So I upgraded my living room a bit. Here is what I posted originally:
It now looks like this:
Added some Hue lights, new artwork and built my very first PC!
The original callouts: 65 inch C7P OLED (my favorite purchase by far), Spidey PS4 Pro (sadly somewhat hidden) & Xbox One X SE.
There is also an Apple TV 4K and PSVR hiding in the black cabinets below the TV. I've got a Switch as well but for now it's hanging in the bedroom which actually has a whole gang of older systems in there (I'll post it some day). I want the Switch in the living room but just ran out of space (and HDMI ports).
For decent sound I have a Samsung curved soundbar, HW J7501. I want a Receiver but I'm still in an apartment, so I'll hold off on that for now lol.
The headsets on the wall are the Wireless Razer Thresher Headset for XB1 and the Astro A10 headset (Zelda Edition) for the Switch (I use them for my PC though). I got a PS Gold Headset hiding in the cabinets as well. Thought about hanging it too but I think 3 headsets hanging is excessive.
Sadly the doggo didn't make appearance this time around (she's hanging out with her mom today).
I feel like I need one more piece of artwork above the hung headsets, possibly a Spidey one with a white background to match the other Marvel ones on that wall. My GF and little brother think I'm good but I feel like that would complete my living room.

I really like the poster setup. Dark Souls, I presume?
Thanks! That would've been cool too but actually it's Link from Ocarina of Time. It's the scene when he faces off against Dark Link in the Water Temple.

Ah, my bad. I haven't played either of them, but DS was the first that came to mind. I'd love to do something like that with Bloodborne, for example.
I got that particular piece from Aliexpress. Took forever to ship but was worth it. I wouldn't be surprised if they had some Bloodborne art on there as well. I'd love to grab an art piece for that or Sekiro if I had room.
Thanks!
Looks amazing, that furniture that's got your controllers and keyboard is awesome, got a link for it by any chance?
Here's our lounge, recently upgraded our sound system to a Sonos Beam which sounds amazing. This is also where I tend to do my comfy couch PC gaming (PC is located in my office, across the garden in a separate building, piped a 4K signal via CAT6 back to the main house):
Night shot, Hue used for lighting:
Concealed PSVR:
Shelf for controllers, Playstation Camera. XB1 controllers are for comfy couch PC gaming:
Wireless Sony cans for late night gaming, Harmony & Alexa for all a/v control:
Ceiling mounted Optoma UHD300X at the back:
Wireless rear surrounds (Sonos Play:1) in each corner hidden behind foliage:

Yes, Hue Blooms each side. Was considering replacing them with Hue Plays though.
Thanks, unfortunately i can't find anything like it here in the UK :(

Late seeing this, but wow! Back in the late 80s, my next door neighbor had a Monster Beetle and I had the Blackfoot as kids! Can't believe they still make it!
I have a similar moon light on my desk at work, but it requires a charge via USB and doesn't last very long so I tend not to turn it on. Is that the same experience you've had with the one shown here? I've always wanted to get a bigger one for the home.No, it's the Tamiya Frog. I do have a Grasshopper of sorts.

About the Monster Beetle, yeah they make a re release model now but the one in the picture is from the 80s. It's in perfect condition bar the gears rattling a bit but I have it as a shelf sitter these days anyway. I've gone a bit RC crazy the last few years, I'm actually having a Tamiya Suzuki Jimny delivered tomorrow, I just love building and painting them as much as running them these days. I've actually been eyeing up the Blackfoot re re, I think it looks better than the Beetle. I think I need help with nostalgia addiction lol.
Yeah the 3D printed Moon lamp needs to be charged to light up, I haven't come across any that run from a socket but imagine they are out there. I have it on a pretty low setting and so usually get at least two evenings (around eight hours per evening) between charges.

I'm moving in about a month so just wanted to share my current setup before it's packed in boxes.
The Living Room setup:
Moved the Switch to my daughters room to try and clean up the look but I still have my Xbox 360 S, Xbox One X, PlayStation 4 and my trusty old Lenovo M90P office PC (2012).
I upgraded a few parts in the PC so here's the specs:
Intel i3-530 2.93ghz
8GB DDR3
Nvidia GeForce GT1030 (2GB DDR5)
120GB SDD + 1TB HDD
It plays all new indie games on Steam and older games like Ultra Street Fighter IV and Left 4 Dead 2 etc. and makes ZERO NOISE!
Bonus pics of some of the gear in action:
Bedroom Retro setup:
In the bedroom I have a small setup with a 21" Bang & Olufsen CRT TV, Softmodded Nintendo Wii and I recently bough both a PAL PlayStation One and a NTSC-J PlayStation One so I can go for the world records on the Point Blank games. I also got myself a NTSC-J Xbox 360 which I "upgraded" with a 60GB HDD and a USB WIFI thingy. Now I'm all set up to play those imported CAVE bullethell shooters.

Good job. Looks very clean. That Gameboy is fire too. You've got a nice white/black aesthetic combo going as well.

Phenomenal setup. Love the CRT. I assume that's a PAL set? Does it do 60hz? Makes my PVM look ugly in comparison what a beautiful chassis.I'm moving in about a month so just wanted to share my current setup before it's packed in boxes.

That Bang & Olufsen is cool. Their older stuff always looked super sleek and retro in a futuristic way.

I hate anyone and everyone who is living in a high-rise building. :(
Makes me hate the SF Bay Area so much (outside of DTSF). Why is everything so flat!!!!

It was sold at a local super market a few years ago.
And yes, the Guinness certificate is for Metal Slug and I don't mind my name being out there. I use this username, or variations of it, everywhere and on the Twin Galaxies site it says my name too.
yes, it's a PAL set but it does do 60hz also. B&O is a danish designer brand and these TVs were expensive as hell back in the day. I had a 28" MX7000 model a few years ago and the receipt was inside the manual. The retail price this person paid was dkk36,000 which equals to about $5,000. And it was bought in 2006.

Old School 360 blades. Man that took me back. How'd you do that btw? I've got a 360 in my bedroom that I wouldn't mind having that on lol.

That's cool. Congrats on the record!
Do you use an HDMI switch to switch to your TV or is your PC hooked up to it already?
Here is My current setup I also hook my PC up to my TV when I want some couch time.
I just plug the hdmi in when I want to use my TV might look in to an hdmi switch have you used one before?
It came like that when I bought it from Japan. It was only a hot minute I had blades though as I had to update to play Ketsui. But yeah, it really took me back. It was really fun to see again.
Yep, I did that with my PC and game consoles becuase my Vizio only had one port that would work with 4k 60Hz. It was pretty convenient to switch between inputs, though some of the switches I bought recently had issues switching between 1080p from my PC or Nintendo Switch to 4k on my PS4 Pro so I had to keep the resolution the same between them.

It's just an led matrix that cycles through different patterns with a diffuser cover, had it for about 10 years now, don't think they sell them anymore! Originally bought it from here: https://www.firebox.com/
Beautiful setup you have here. I'm curious about the hardware used for the 4K signal via Cat6.
