Nicely done, pro tip with the mini fridge. Put it on a piece of wood to lift it off of the carpet so it doesn't suffocate itself while running.
$319 for a mini fridge seems like it should maybe also double as a time machine or something

I think its awesome how seemingly stoked you are for rebuilding that switch collection. I feel empty unless I have some sort of project or idea looming in the old noggin. Having just moved myself I completely whole heartedly understand. Bologna sandwiches and chips for dinner lmao. The paint job looks incredible btw.
Caleb is so thrifty at everything… except minifridges, where he’s apparently willing to pay full retail! 😂 Keep up the great work!

Depends on where you are in the United States. I moved to a little town 45 minutes from Times Square that for 2500 square-foot home you’re looking at $1 million and about 30,000 a year in taxes. But it has one of the best school systems, zero major crime and To me major crimes are murder & rape and I’m 45 minutes from NYC. Now an hour up the line for me you would get the same square footage but with acres of land for probably 400,000 and your tax and you would probably be 5000 a month. You pay for the school systems for no crime a really good police department but your taxes are no joke.

Hmm should've thought about this a bit more first! 55" TV would have been perfect and not had the sides cut off! Single cinema style recliners (fake Lazyboys basically) would be great, affordable and not block the whole area. And 300 bucks for a mini fridge? Man they saw you comin..! GL with the rest of it though

i am glad to see the honesty shine through at the end caleb
Nice start man. It’s looking good. If it was me I’d go with the emerald couch for the main area though. It looks way nicer. The brown on the other couch just looks weird in there. Excited to see how it turns out

I saw you through retro rick and man your content is good as well! Congrats on your new house and game room!
I feel like the minifridge should be put on top of a corner shelf with maybe some cool displays or figures or something in that corner, just a suggestion! cool room! :D
Very excited for this! Can't believe your almost at 300k subs! Congrats
You’re living the dream Caleb I’m hoping to get this in my future
Love the new game room can wait to see more
That's looking great. Good deal on the TV. Not so great of a deal on the mini fridge. But hey, "free" couch. Can't wait to see it come together.
I'm not sure about the tv... you get what you pay for. Also I feel like it needed to be a few inches shorter. Looks like edges are cut off because of the borders of the stand it sits in
Great game room! Sad to see the switch collection go but you will rebuild I have no doubts :)
Nice to see it's coming along man
Reaaalllyyyyy, good video! Love to see you establishing your new man cave! :D
Really liked this episode. The upcoming series is gona be awsome
You inspired me so much with this video! My dream since I was a child I always wanted a gamer room. Now I am trying to sell my games for investment and then buy everything I ever wanted. Thanks for Sharing your thoughts and experience
Bro how you put the TV in the car was making me so anxious lol. Where I work I load TVs into people's cars and it being on its side in the trunk could get it cracked insanely easily if you hit any kind of speed bump. We worry about that even when the TV is in a box lol
I haven’t checked in for a while! See your channel has exploded in subs! Congrats!
Caleb, I'd say be careful with that mini fridge in case your planning to leave it on the carpet. Those things leak through sometimes and you don't want to mess up that clean carpet
Love these type of videos!!
I feel like a Costco or BJ's membership would be perfect for this series.
LOL the dog voiceover edit had me laugh so hard!! 😂 omg I was not expecting that
oof what rough stylistic choices, tv has sides cut, that couch doesn’t go at all down there, 300 dollar tiny tiny mini fridge, and those walls make everything feel smaller!
Idk if anyone has already said it but if you were to do a switch game collecting series then the 'Switch Scramble' could work? Just a suggestion that came to me to be honest
I was hoping you'd get a branded mini fridge like a soda brand with an open face on it or just a fully enclosed one maybe something retro. That would be my choice but the one you got after seeing it honestly looks nice matches the theme of the room more with the wall colors for sure. Retro couch in the retro zone ayooo. After seeing the clip with the light behind the fridge wow it looks even better now that's some nice ambiance. First couch configuration looked clean shame it didn't fit the bill. A space fit for a king to pretend to enjoy video games. I love games but can't enjoy them like I did as a kid it seems like they always give me a headache in less and less time the older I get.
One of those side tables with the built in mini fridge would of been nice next to the small sectional!
Liked the game room in white/beige so much better 😭
Congratulations on the new home!
awesome bro can't wait to see the awesome finished product
About time you did this reselling is 1 thing but the one thing you been lacking all these years Caleb is a man cave and now you got a place to set up one good luck 😎
Oh Riff...definitely had me laughing. But seriously, this space is really awesome. I'm also stoked that I have a couple games from your Switch collection.

A 24" Sony Trinitron with S-video or component inputs would be the perfect size crt for your retro gaming setup if you plan on having multiple consoles connected to it and recommend your Wii be connected to the crt tv and find a Wii U to be connected to your 4k tv. That way you can enjoy your Wii games in HD and have your Gamecube games look phenomenal on the crt tv. I know this because I already have a dedicated gaming room with a crt tv with retro consoles on shelves all connected to the 24" Sony Trinitron and a 4k tv for my Wii U, Xbox series X, PS5, and PS3. These are just recommendations from a dedicated retro gamer and collector.
KILLER! Cheers to GROWTH! 🍻
Man dude. I couldn't do this. My switch collection isn't very big, but the games I do have mean a lot to me. So I really couldn't do it....kudos for being able to part with all your switch games!
Looking awesome so far!
Its all coming along nicely mate
This is a savage video I can feel the energy 🎮🏆 Arcade games are a must I was born in 1977 I’ve probably played 70% of the best ones ever made I can’t wait to have a home arcade set up with real OG machines 🥇
Bro has the best editor, any other editors would just put the pictures from when he was telling the price into the video. And btw nice room man. Keep it up
Congratulations!!.. Really Enjoyed This Video!!.. Can't wait for Next One. ✌️
Just an idea for the couches. I would've used the large sofa in the retro side, and the small sofa and corner piece on your other side. Could kept the emerald sofa out of the equation.

@RichRetr0

@@Exilitate I actually dig the emerald sofa but I think the sectional is huge and takes up a lot of space. So, I think they could get the desired outcome by just splitting that between the 2 sides and keep the green one in the guest room.
I think 300 Is a good price. I just checked best buy and they have on sale $400 65 inch Roku TCL that normally retails for $800. Only thing I would say is for a gaming set up having a TV that goes up to 120Hz might have been perforable If this one doesn't.
Get a Sony Trinitron 1080p CRT, if you can find one! Also, you can vinyl-wrap the TV stand to match the emerald couch. A cool idea would be a bar, down there.
At least you have a game room now❤you still should start a switch collection again would be awesome ❤
that screw in the emerald sofa definitely seen recently and it should belong in one of the legs. its to secure all 4 legs together like a box or rectangle shape
That tv is 350 new lol
caleb love this video, want more videos like this
now u can use the other middle section of the couch as more seating maybe in the retro area
I highly recommend surround sound, I setup 5.1 in my game room and I will never go back to using a sound bar.
Looks Amazing
Good video hope your video game room is going good and is everything your hopeing for
I think the new intro should be, Laddies and Gentlemen, and of course , the never forgotten and underpaid Editor Riff. Great video and I’m excited to see a Nintendo Switch Gambit. That would be awesome and fun. I own a PS5, Switch OLED, OG Xbox and a Raspberry Pi. My console that is getting the most play right now, is my Switch. I can grab and go.
The dog is litterally the let me do it for you meme:)
that last part was genuine that I laughed a lot
Definitely wall mount the tv would look so much better !

No You are not the only one he was charged way to much for that. Most decent brands go for like a max of $250 for a fridge of that size i get wanting to support local stores but he got ripped off there the exact same model he bought goes for less than $250 at some big box stores.
This is such a banger video!!! I can’t wait to see more!!
