I started my down basement game room. But sadly I was never into consoles until recently. I was a big PC player got over 500 games on Steam. Hard to display digital games. However last year I bought a 360 and started collecting 360 games. I started buying physical copies for my Switch instead of digital. Just last week. I picked up a Wii barely used mostly sealed still for 200 Canadian. Came with Wii fit, Wii sport and all the accessories for them. Two years ago I bought a Legends Ultimate arcade. Hooked my Retro Shooter Pandora box to it. It's now my all in one Shooter/Arcade cabinet. With 4400 games. Got all my movies, TVs shows and military history books displayed. Bought 80s style Retro arcade rugs. Strung up LED lights. Looks nice for someone who isnt very skilled at crafts, or building. Everyone who's been down there loves it. Family from church with two kids. Said it's better than the arcade are small town has. In total my space is about the same size as there Retro Room. I love there set up. I love that they both play games. I've tried so many times to get my wife interested in gaming. She just dosent care.

Great game room, guys. And Jen is ridiculously talented 🤘🏻

I thought about selling and taking commission pieces but it's so hard once you spend so much time with a painting to let it go.

Yeah I wouldn't want to part with most of that stuff either. That's why I was thinking of the exhibit. I said museum, I meant exhibit. I'm sure a lot of other people would love to do the same, whether for sale or not. I've only been to one convention and the main focus of them is the sales booths of course, but I actually avoid most of that and go for the stage shows, the freeplay consoles and arcades set up and the panels through the day. It would be awesome to also have a place set up just for viewing cool stuff. I see potential mucho dinero in your future. :)

Your gameroom is absolutely incredible. You guys are both so talented with the art and building projects you've done. It really gives a personal touch to the room that I've not really seen anywhere else. I need a solution for my controller storage, but all of my console boxes take up so much room! I have a space to do it, but everything in my room has to be mounted into poured concrete or aluminum studs... and it's super annoying. The Atari setup with the old wood grained TV is perfect and you guys have it displayed perfectly. I've wanted to have all of my 2600 games put in those miniboxes... but it's hundreds of games and would cost a ton to do it. I'm just in awe of how you and Scott optimized the space in these rooms. You can tell that it's really well thought out and there is hardly any wasted space. I loved the video!

Thanks so much, you inspired our game room tour honestly with the personal stories. I tend to try to do a more quick to the point tour but I think we were losing the charm we saw in yours.

I don't know if it would cost too much to do all the mini boxes besides photo paper and printer ink, the real cost would come at your time. Tell the kiddos and the wifey it's arts and crafts night. Free labor LOL We knew we'd have to be creative with space because of all the windows, entrances, weird small doors and curves. The worst though is I've run out of space to put up art work and there's still so much I want to create lol. Thanks for all the love Jamie.

First thing I notice is the Lunar Painting on the Retro Room door! Absolutely stunning! I think we all have that one designated little area for recent pickups while they are waiting for their performance. I call mine the fluff closet…🤣 I think the Xbox kegerator will always be a favorite of mine every time I see y’all’s game room. Seriously though, we all see a lot of the main game room and absolutely love it….but Wow! The retro room is full of nostalgia from my childhood floor to ceiling….GI Joe, WWF, comics. Haha! I even had a full set of A Team figures as a kid too. That is a sweet setup. Awesome job on the room and the tour video! 🍻

If I run as a space, I might start putting paintings on canvas boards and hanging them on the cupboards. The retro room is definitely my new favorite part of the basement. I find myself wanting to game a lot in there because it's so cozy and like a big hug of nostalgia! Thanks so much for watching and commenting Josh. It means a lot ❤️

So thank you for giving it some much-needed love in the comments

Wow, these rooms are absolutely insane! I look at some of your stuff, and it reminds me of my childhood! I had 4 passions when I was a kid: G1 Transformers, GI Joe, Lego, and Micro Machines. And then video games took over, and the rest is history! Those paintings are so awesome, you're so talented, Jen! And I know that I'm not the only one who thinks that with all the paintings you've done for your friends in the community! My favorites would have to be that Lunar one (also one of my favorite rpgs) and that Joker! One of my friends in the States would kill to have that in his home as he collects only Batman and Joker, well everything lol! And Scott with the woodworking and the custom signs are something that I would put in my gameroom if I had one! I mean, come on, a transformable Optimus Prime! I'm disappointed that you didn't showcase NHL 94, only the best hockey game of all time, lol! The last thing I want to mention (because this is turning into a novel) is that wooden TV in the Retro room! Long story short, I had to move from home at 19 and I basically had nothing besides a bed, a fridge and a stove, so my grandma help me out by giving me a ton of stuff that was in her basement that she hadn't used in years including that wooden TV (maybe not the exact same model but pretty similar)! It became my gaming TV for 2 years before I bought a brand new CRT one back in the day! That's the most vivid memory from your room tour and one that I cherish! This was really fun to watch and brighten my day! Great video and keep up the good work!

Reliving our childhood is the best part. It's probably why the retro room feels so cozy and inviting. I could feel my happiness swell and swell going through talking about the room and how we've loved sharing it with our family and friends. Painting has been such a great escape for me and it makes me so happy knowing how much people love it and how I've been able to share it with lots of people all over the world. Scott is an amazing builder and he doesn't give himself enough credit. He also built our bar in the gameroom (which we often forget to mention), all the shelves and the boxes for my game art. Love your story about the CRT and this one actually came from Scott's childhood basement. His grandmother (who sadly passed away in 2019) raised him and it was his first gaming tv too :)

Two rooms, nice; we just let everything, games and toys, spill over into the whole house. lol The pics and shirt in the stairwell are fantastic. The custom pieces are the best; unique items make for the best stories, no doubt. Say, DP makes for a good VR holder; I like that. Something I thoroughly enjoy is Scott getting to experience, at last and for the first time, so many of the RPGs I grew up adoring. Definitely appreciate the use of posts as hidden storage; I'm all about that storage game. Naturally makes us happy to see comics on display--nice. AND movies as well; physical media forever! Atari on the console TV is perfection. TOYS everywhere; maybe it IS like our house--ha ha. I still have a few of my Joes, including a couple of vehicles and the General. It's awesome that you guys use your game room and host friends coming over; we would love to do that but got nobody in our area (cue sad violin). Fantastic tour of some amazing spaces!

Well I be lying if I didn't say that. We also have consoles and a few games in our main living room and of course Alex has his own little gamer paradise upstairs. When we originally started building the game room we knew we wanted to go as custom as possible and have lots of hidden storage for things that just don't display as well but are much needed in the game room. Certainly had to display comics, toys and all our other passions. Go nerd or go home! Listen if you're lacking gamers in your area, just do what we did, make friends with them (even if they don't enjoy playing games all the time) and then corrupt them to the point it becomes a drug and they have to have it. Then they'll know where to get it ☺️🤣

I’m so jealous of that Super Metroid painting, it’s so damn sexy! Best Metroid hands down and one of my top 5 games of all time.

I sling mail for Canada Post 🤣 I've thought about it but I also really enjoy it as a hobby and I'm worried if I turn it into a business then I'll start to hate it. That being said, I've made several paintings for friends of ours on KZread and just knowing I get to add to their game room with a personal piece I've painted for them is the best!!!

Such an awesome game/retro room's you have, I've told friends that if I had the money and my own house, this is the game room I'd make myself, of course it would be different, but nonetheless it would be awesome like this. Scott, love the Metallica shirt, and I love the Metal Mulisha beenie you have, I need to find myself a beenie like that. Jen love all the artwork you have done,it all looks awesome, if I had the money, sadly I don't, but if I did, I would definitely ask you to paint me a 5 lion Voltron ( Voltron form) with him holding the blazing sword in one hand, while the other hand would be stretched out just like in the cartoon . You guy's are awesome loved the tour

Always happy to be an inspiration. Much of the community has been that for us through the years as well. We actually got Scott a new beanie on Ebay for Christmas.

Thanks so much for the sweet reply! I'm so sorry I missed this one. Our game rooms are definitely our favorite place in the house. It's a nice little escape and even if you can just have a small room somewhere you can go to escape the rigors of everyday life. I say go for it. At some point we will probably move to a smaller house and shrink the collection a bit, but we will always have a game room. Absolutely always follow your passion :)

I really love you guys gameroom. To me it's a pretty perfect mix of like warm cozy and displayability? Dunno if that is even a word, but thats what i feel haha. In general it's very inviting. It screams fun and socializing instead of many many gamerooms that is more storage. Sidenote: Im also glad to see my gameroom aint the only one to struggle with dust when you have alot displayed :D
