what's up guys Lew here and it is time for the long-awaited room tour video or desk tour or setup or gaming setup whatever you want to call it you guys have asked for it over and over again for like a month and so it's about time that we head inside the office behind this door and get a better look at how I work and how I live let's check it out let's get started so here is my office from left to right you can see my desk over there that's probably the first thing that's going to surprise you is just how big my desk is it's actually sort of a custom setup I'll get there in a quick second but first let's start on the left side of the room so over here is where my bathroom is it's pretty straightforward bathroom except just got a big a big huge bathtub in it but that's not why you guys came to this room tour it's nice having a bathroom oked up to my office though because I don't have to leave for any reason now over here on this side table I got a bunch of controllers remotes you've got some 3d glasses those are active 3d glasses for my television and then you can see even up there there's the ps3 keyboard that hooks up to your controller for inputting text in a more efficient manner we have the remote control for the ps3 there's also the logitech g27 race wheel which has the pedals the whole nine real professional feel on here got it hooked up to this little table I pull that out when I'm going to be playing games on my TV which is actually on the other side of the room and I'll tell you more about that in a quick second but first on the couch you probably get a look at my MacBook Air now this is the 13-inch MacBook Air you've probably seen it unboxed on the channel if you haven't links to everything I talked about are going to be probably in the annotations as well as down in the description I'm gonna try and make it easy for you to navigate through the items if you want to know more information about each one but I keep that MacBook Air on the couch it's the core i7 by the way I keep that baby on the couch for browsing chilling you know I actually prefer sitting back with the MacBook Air as opposed to like a tablet even though I have a lot of them because sometimes I want to get a little bit of work done and this makes it easy for using Twitter and you know any time you got a input text it's a little bit better than a tablet so as we move along left to right here this is the left side of my desk and I should probably talk about my desk before I get into too many of the gadgets that are on there this is a custom job that I actually put together in fact this desk is supposed to be a production desk for a studio a music studio and what I did is took out the internal portion that is supposed to be used for putting in mixing boards and audio equipment and I got these pieces of wood custom cut in here put this metal trim on here as well and as you can see it comes with these nice leather pads here for where your wrists rest I really love this desk I think it's like 10 feet long maybe more but it allows for me to get all my gadget tree up on the desk so I don't have to be feeling like I'm missing anything at all the next thing I want to talk about is my chair now this chair is actually pretty exciting I know you guys are probably like why is he telling me about a chair when he's got all that beauty up on a desk well the reason I'm telling you about this chair is because I sit in it all day and if I didn't sit in it all day then you wouldn't have much content to look at and this is called the Herman Miller embody chair arguably the best chair in the world I guess you could argue at least a price would argue that and on the back here this section here sort of mimics your spine and you can probably get a better idea of that if you look at the little bend here but it actually gives you a little bit of flexibility and make a real comfortable for sort of long sessions where you're editing video or you know browsing the web or anything like that super adjustable as well not cheap I didn't do a video on this you guys want to know more about this let me know in a comment section but a really a nice chair that lets me do what I do now let's get to some of the gadget tree up on this big huge desk over here we'll start left to right on the left-hand side you've got my iPad 2 got YouTube open on there it's in an Otterbox case I believe it is called the defender once again I'll put a link so if I if I get anything wrong click on the link and you can learn more information the stand that's included that it's standing on here is also a part of the case so it's actually a cool package I'll put a link to that in the description as well as in the annotations this is a core i7 27-inch iMac now you're probably saying dude what's up on the screen that doesn't look like your regular iMac and that's because it isn't it's got an adaptor hook up hooked up to it now you can see that little white box back there from Belkin which I also did a video on and that box allows you to input an HDMI device in this case the PlayStation 3 into your nice 27-inch display that your iMac has so I've got the the PlayStation menu on here that you guys can take a look at and it sort of allows you to use your nice big display as a TV if you want to and that's what's going on over here you got the badass pink ps3 controller over here and it's a better look at it yeah if you if you guys know how to rock out you know go for a pink and then on the table there is the regular Apple wireless keyboard followed by the Magic Trackpad and they're hooked up with I believe what's called the magic wand from 12 south so this whole unit here is portable there on top of this this pad here they're actually taped down with double-sided tape so they don't come off you can use them from the couch spin the TV and sort of lie on the couch over here not TV iMac I should say you can spin the eye Mack and lie on the couch if you want to if you want to use it that way and over here I got a set of headphones lined up those are the beats power beats I believe they're called they're they hook around the outside of your ear they're for athletics and things like that and then there's a little charger there in the back for the ps3 controllers at least two ps3 controllers but what's cool is the way I've got this ps3 mounted up on the twist dock this thing here is called the twist dock case you're wondering it also charges some controllers on the backside you see over there sorry guys I'm trying to get you a look at everything here but if you need to know more information as I said earlier it's all about the description on this video it's kind of an epic video in terms of the proportion of it I mean I got to cover a lot of things but anyways so a lot of places to charge up ps3 controllers up here is the PlayStation Vita in its dock followed by the Nintendo 3ds that's sort of the little mobile gaming station over there some of my favorite headphones in the world also reside up in this location the sony xba-4 get a little bit warm after extended usage but most people who follow the channel know that I love those headphones check them out I've actually got a PC over here as well got to give the PC people some love right this is a think pad the T 400s and I use this for you know some web development stuff or I want to check how the site looks on the windows side of things also for some Android stuff like routing my phones and messing around with a little bit of development a little bit easier to do on the PC nice to have one I've got a mouse hooked up to it this is called the Logitech marathon Mouse and the reason it's called that is because it lasts for a really long time on a single battery I believe like two years or something the next thing you're going to see down here on the desk are two phones there's the new Galaxy Nexus and then to the left of it the Nexus S which is my old phone I keep both of them around this one sort of as a backup right now both have ice cream sandwich so they're still both really good phones what else do I have to cover well my microphone a lot of people ask about my microphone this is brought to you by ADK now it is not a standard USB microphone instead it uses a traditional XLR cable for connecting I'll pull that out I'll give you guys a closer look at that hold up oh gee you see if I can get that uses a traditional XLR style cable I'll put that down for now and that plugs into an audio interface which is hidden back here and you probably won't be able to see it hidden back there in the desk and that interface allows you to take any XLR input guitar input whether it be for vocals or instruments etc and record and I like that because it actually has really high quality analog to digital converters slightly better than what is what some of the USB mics are offering so I'm really happy about my mic an audio interface set up the audio interface is called the apogee one once again i got a video for that on the channel as well if you want to check that out let's continue moving along holy smokes there's so much stuff to cover here but I'm gonna try and fit it all into one video because I know if I split it up you guys will be yelling at me like oh my god I want it all in one video I don't want to have to go click another video another view anything like that so I'm going to fit it all in here I'm just going to take my time make sure I cover everything so here is I guess my pride and joy my macbook pro quad-core 2.3 gigahertz it has 16 gigs of ram which i recently installed if you haven't seen that installation video you can go check it out it's also got an SSD a vertex 3 SSD which is a really speedy and then in the optical drive bay I have replaced the optical drive with the standard hard drive that shipped with it using an adapter so it's got lots of storage and lots of speed from the SSD side of things didn't really need the optical drive all the time so if you look to the right over here I have the optical drive for the MacBook Air anyways if I need one I can just plug that baby into the MacBook Pro and I'll be good to go another wireless keyboard from Apple followed by a Logitech MX performance MX Mouse probably my favorite Mouse in the world right now I love this mouse lots of buttons very comfortable and that's on top of a SteelSeries mouse pad that I really enjoy as well never made a video on that before this MacBook Pro is hooked up to a 24 inch samsung shorty 23 inch samsung monitor and this Samsung monitor is actually on an arm hooked up to a cool extension arm and that allows me to pull the monitor out towards my seating area depending on what I'm working on sometimes I like to have it close sometimes further away but it really allows me to adjust my workspace so that it's not always the same and that's kind of a good thing when you're you know sitting down for extended periods to sort of move around a little bit so you don't go crazy in one spot so anyways that's nice that it can be adjusted I usually keep it above the MacBook Pro I keep some of my social networking stuff open on the MacBook Pro and then whatever else I'm working on Final Cut or anything like that usually goes up onto the Samsung monitor oh man I need to catch a breath this is too much let's keep it moving though we move over to the right side of the desk you're going to notice another screen just a sort of standard Dell screen here I think it is 23 inches as well and I've actually got the little miniature on live console hooked up to this screen at the moment and here's the on live controller as well I'm still testing that system out we've also got the modern warfare 3 Xbox 360 special edition console hooked up to this TV as well and of course the matching controllers are down here we got the Sony 3d goggles haha what's the what's the the model name the H MZ - t 1p this was a really cool video you guys should definitely check it out if you haven't yet basically you wear these things and they they sort of emulate what it would be like to be in front of a really huge 3d display but they do so by sitting on your head you can plug in any console into their ps3 xbox or any HDMI source and get that cool effect so those are really cool once again check out that video for more information on that particular setup I've got a couple of tablets over here there's the Galaxy Tab 10 one up top and then the e Pad Transformer Prime from Asus which I recently unboxed and I'm actually still evaluating so that's why I still have it in the box at the moment there's the Amazon Kindle Fire up above there that super drive that I mentioned that's the regular portable super drive with a 1tb portable hard drive on top of it used for just moving data around and whatnot and then you can see one of my two logitech speakers which sit on either side of my macbook pro I can't remember the model name at the moment but I'll put a link on the screen right now if you want to check out more info on them I really do like them you get a lot of base they do have a subwoofer that's why so it's a two point one system the subwoofer is sitting underneath the desk somewhere I'm not going to go searching for it right now that would be just far too ambitious now one more thing on I missed in the middle here are the astro a40 s they're on a cool headphone stand from astro as well and they've got the mix amp associated with them too nice little mix amp there I haven't done a video on these actually if you guys want to see more info on these or what I think of them let me know once again down in the description just like or in the comments sorry like everything else like anything that catches your attention here now up on the top shelf I've got the Steve Jobs book which I haven't started reading it I really do want to a couple of collectors knives there I've also got some business cards there that I do enjoy on the side of this TV here is little Dell TV I've got some beats studios which I use from time to time a couple of my watches including the vestal observer and this is just a nano watch inside of the I believe that's the lunatic that's right that's the lunatic watch strap and up along back here we've got the Dyson Airblade I believe it's cold and that is a really cool high-tech turbine style fan actually did a video on it as well if you want to know more information that is a top top-of-the-line fan you know you got it you got to just sort of match everything up in the setup you got a got to stay cool while your work no this all this content for you guys to watch so as we move over to the right here in the corner you can catch a look at my tripod and a couple of guitars I have and I even got a samurai sword back there just in case anybody wants to run up in the joint and try and snag anything from me that I mentioned I have a Starbucks cup over there too yeah I want to cover everything make sure you guys really get to know how I live in here but I've got a cool magnetic adapter on top of my tripod for sort of quick quick release on and off you know this little locking mechanism because I'm constantly onto the tripod off the tripod doing different things with my camera I'm going to cover more information on how I shoot my videos in another video because there's just too much to cover in this particular video so let me know if you guys are interested in a production tour this is where everything gets produced in this room here but before I go in there I'm going to show you my television you may or may not have seen information on it before it is a 55 inch Samsung LED backlit television really super thin I really like it 3d everything like that once again if you want to know more about it I'll put a link I put a custom LED lighting system underneath it and on the sides of it and it changes color is obviously the effect of this is more major when there's less light in the room but impressive nonetheless you can freeze it on a specific color if you want I'll give you a better look around the side here you can get an idea of how I line those up so there's one a long top and one along the bottom so you can either rotate colors or stay on one and it comes into this room here in terms of cables I put a hole in the wall and all Peebles come into this room here and this is where sort of things get a little bit messy but this is the nerve center this is what allows everything to operate on the outside on that TV I've got all my cables coming through right here a little bit messy you guys know how it is this power supply here actually when you turn off the television it has a master port which also turns off the LED lighting system so they go on and off together which is cool all the games are sort of stacked in here as best as I could fit them lots of ps3 games mostly ps3 games you guys probably want to get a closer look at some of the titles in there I'll give a quick little pan across so you can get an idea of the different titles that are up in here some that I play more often I'm loving some racing games right now and stuff like that but you can get an idea up above there is where I keep some boxes some stuff that I recently unboxed or been working on or just some boxes that are still hanging around there's also some headphones up here you may remember these Marshalls some Sony's lots of different ones these ones are from the saints row special edition I'll probably give those away I don't use those too often let me know if you if you want to want to try and win those or something in a contest some along those lines now down on the bottom side here we've got a couple of consoles we've got the Gears of War 3 console special edition with the matching controllers which are outside on that side table here's the BenQ joy bgp two little portable projector which I use for blowing up the games on a bigger wall if I want to take it downstairs or something like that it's also got the iPhone dock and a regular HDMI port so you can really interface with this thing in a number of ways blow up your source your HDMI source to 160 inches so really cool thing when you get a lot of people over something like that here is the other side of the Astro gaming headset setup that's what you need to interface to send signal to that mix amp and then we've got the old-school Fat Boy ps3 over here it's got the module on it for interfacing with the P free wireless headset as well down below there we have more stuff a little bit of cable spaghetti but it's tough to wire all this stuff up some Nintendo 3ds games over on the left you probably want to catch a better look over there followed by a limited number of xbox360 titles this box here well on the top I'll cover that first that's the avermedia Game Capture HD for recording gameplay footage which I haven't done a ton of yet haven't had much time to do below that is a custom computer that I built PC which I use as a server it's got a couple terabytes in there of storage and a mini ITX motherboard and it you it works as a as a network server for some data and stuff like that I've got some official game guides over here a number of different ones and then that there's a random copy of call of duty modern warfare 3 on top of there and then over to the right is what's called a dns-323 from d-link which is another storage device there's I believe 4 terabytes of storage in there - 2 terabyte hard drive so once again just more backup network backup for all my content that I've produced and stuff like that on the bottom here I've got something pretty boring my laser printer it's the Lexmark II 1 xx N network printer pretty boring stuff like I said before I don't do a ton of printing but it's nice to have it networked so I don't have to have it right be right beside the computer here's the iCade this is an iPad arcade once again you guys can check out more information on that in another video in the other video the original video but it basically allows you to play old-school Atari titles and stuff with the traditional control scheme on your iPad above that is my battle tank my RC battle tank which shoots airsoft bullets you can see a PlayStation Move sharpshooter in the back leaning up against the wall and a street fighter fight stick which doesn't get a ton of use but got it there nonetheless so as we move out of this section here which took a while oh you see up on the wall here I got my trek pod GoPro it's a monopod slash tripod kind of system not going to go into ton of detail on that right now we're already at twenty two minutes and this this was from the Lord of the Rings collector's edition you've got the the map in here which actually looks like a couple of arrows pretty cool thing nonetheless and that takes me to some of my more commemorative items from special editions of games and stuff like that most of them live up here some are in other parts of the house as you can see there's stuff from Skyrim from Uncharted Killzone you see the Killzone dude is rocking the PlayStation headset the wireless PlayStation headset which is convenient to just sort of pull off of him every so often if I want to use that headset we got Batman Gran Turismo Gears of War lots of stuff represented up on this top shelf there's also a pair of tritons hanging out over here these are the 5.1 surround headset they've actually got a bunch of physical speakers in each ear cup so it's not an emulation it's actually legit number of speakers 5.1 representation as we move over here this is actually the production section I got a few things laid out on the table right now these are different prices and stuff that are going to be given away you guys probably know about the giveaways if you don't yet get on them because I'm giving away a lot of stuff over here if you want to know more about my production setup how it all works and stuff like that I'm going to save that for another video only because this video is going on and on so long already so if you guys want to know more information about how I produce my videos like and favorite this video and leave a comment and then I'll know you guys want to know more information down here I've got a music production device called the machine from Native Instruments we're making beats and stuffing I haven't used it yet my brother actually gave it to me so I'm going to hook that up and check it out real soon I got a bunch of cables chilling over there pretty ugly stuff I got got to go through all of those and I think I may have covered everything in this room right now that was pretty intimidating but I think I covered also games gaming stuff systems all feed through the wall over here out to my flat panel out here which has a beast feed logo on it right now by the way that's my second channel if you haven't checked it out yet I'll put a link and annotation probably up over top of the beast feed logo so you can visit that channel I got a couple things charging down here the battery for my H x9 v camera which is the one I'm using to shoot this right now as well as the battery for my Canon 60d which I use for the vast majority of my unboxings it has a nice articulating LCD which makes it perfect for that I forgot to mention my my nice samurai dude that my brother picked up for me I believe in China he's up on the wall there framed pretty cool picture it kind of has like a scroll feel to it but anyway guys I think I pretty much covered everything in this room for now I try to go in-depth as much as I could with you know without making the video turn into an hour-long affair or anything like that this is has been 25 minutes and I think I did an okay job of describing the majority of items now not everything is always set up like this on a daily basis some stuff has been placed out for the purpose of this video but most things live in the position that I that they're in right now that you guys are witnessing if you have any questions about anything covered in this video then definitely leave a comment below if you haven't subscribed yet please go ahead and do so lots of new content on the way new products getting covered all the time and specifically if there's something in the setup that you want to know more information about leave a comment identifying which ever item that is and if I get enough requests to look at an item more in depth I'll definitely do that so anyway guys thank you for joining me for this very first room tour I'll update this setup from time to time so if I do I'll probably do another room tour as well to show you guys with what updates have been made otherwise I think that's it for now I'll probably end this video with a cool montage of some of the different angles some of the different looks on this setup so anyway guys until next time I'll see you on the next one Oh remember to Like and favorite and let's do this again right later guys you
