what's up guys Lew here and today I'm going to be taking you on the official office tour you've been waiting for it for a long time and today you finally get a chance to take a closer look at the brand new unbox therapy headquarters we have everything set up so you can check out how we work and also how we relax we have a gaming setup in there and everything else so come along for the ride and I'll give you guys a closer look so this is the lounge area at the unbox therapy headquarters and as you can tell this is where the lounging takes place is where people relax take a little break or even have to work maybe play some games etc so as you can see over here on the far side this is the anchor of the whole space it's my 55 inch flat panel from Samsung I did a video on it you can go check that out if you haven't seen it yet I will link all the products mentioned in this video down in the description so the description is your friend go and check it out but anyways we got the 55 inch flat panel really nice panel below it some better speakers because you know flat panels aren't the greatest at pre producing audio so this is the JBL I believe it's the SB 200 i'm ight be wrong but huh anyways it's a surround sound like speaker that outputs a virtualization of surround sound so a small package yet it still sort of feels like sound is coming at you from a number of different directions I've got a little bit of storage down below and a couple of other items down here this is a little PC that I made a while ago mini ITX PC as we move across you can see in this case this bookcase / cabinet that I recently put in we've got on display some of the different products and product boxes of things that have been featured on the channel some stuff that hasn't been featured yet some stuff you'll recognize for sure you can see in here we got the ps3 box the BlackBerry z10 box or z10 if you're in the US some headphones we have all the Nexus devices as well you can see there's the box for the Nexus S the Galaxy Nexus the Nexus 4 of course we've also got the new wireless charging orb there's some iPhone boxes up above that and then down here you can see my MacBook Box there's the latest iPad box I mean really so many boxes here is the head from the Killzone 3 Helghast Edition that's an unboxing from a long time ago still a really cool thing to put on display and as we move down a little bit further you'll see some consoles this this is the PlayStation 3 and white of course the super slim model and then we've also got the dns-323 from d-link that's a backup device which is networked you can stick two hard drives in there then all the computers in the office space can access those hard drives for backup or for file-sharing etc the Nintendo Wii U is also in here and then as we move down a little bit further you'll see the brand-new receiver this is an on keel receiver full details like I said before and the linkage will be down in the description and the idea here is that I've got all the HDMI from these different devices feeding into the receiver so then I can only send one nice clean HDMI to the television so I don't have to be worried about having a big mess right in front of the TV you've also got the limited edition Xbox 360 down there the halo 4 limited edition console which also came with the game of course that's also down in that location in case you guys missed it so that's one of my favorite designs on the Xbox 360 it's got that kind of translucent design so everything will be hooked up shortly but I did want to get this office tour out to you guys so this is just sort of a first look at some of the items inside of the new office space moving up you can see some of the statues they're called figurines action figures whatever you want to call them these are the guys that ship with all those collector's editions that have been featured on unbox therapy in the past we've got of course stuff from Uncharted we've got stuff from infamous we've got stuff from Ghost Recon Killzone Max Payne over here Batman Gears of War as you move along a little bit more sass ins Creed so lots of different game franchises represented through the statues that come with those limited and collector's edition box sets that unbox therapy is famous for featuring of course and as we move down in this cabinet on the other side you can see some other items some other boxes as well we've got you know the call of duty modern warfare 3 special edition console the special edition controllers and the game and the 320 gig hard drive the system is actually still in there not in use at the moment we are using the controllers and we will use that one shortly there's also a box to the camera I use the Canon 60d which is a very popular camera for video makers here on YouTube and then as I open this case up a little bit more you can see some of the some of the stuff that isn't so pretty that we have to store like our different tools and stuff far down at the bottom and then of course more boxes have the tournament stick the street fighter tournament stick up there as well as the Sony 3d viewer this is the personal 3d viewer so that you can lay back on the couch and get really an incredible 3d experience if you guys missed that video you should definitely check it out and more details on that or down in the description as well the last thing to mention on the far side over here is where all the games are this is a special sort of game case so it's a really easy way to store all of them we've got some PlayStation 3 games at the top who knows what the new consoles coming out you know we'll probably have to make a couple more shells for all the new games that come out too there's also some Wii U games down at the very bottom as you move down and a couple of blu-rays but a pretty good collection so the other thing to mention over in this corner right here is our mini-fridge which is very important because you know people get thirsty working up here in the HQ and this is where we keep all of our beverages right now we've got pretty much one no two beverages you can either have water or an imported beer not I shouldn't say these are all imported most of them are imported I told will to go pick up some beers a couple days ago and I said listen if you can't pronounce the name on the side of the tall can then buy it because that's that's what we're looking for so anyways lots of imported tall cans in here so hey if you want one here you go there you go for you I'm just kidding on top here we have the g27 race wheel this is world famous race wheel of course and whenever you know we're playing playing some racing games we can pull that baby out and set it up but it kind of lives here on display when it's not in use we also got the new leather couch brand-new red leather couch I've been saying that we're going to get a couch in this space for a while and the guys have you know been nagging me about it saying Lou we got nowhere to sit nowhere to chill so we picked up this couch it's pretty cool look I think and it makes the space quite a bit more welcoming and as we move along over here this is where the controllers live as well as some other sort of general storage but you guys have seen the special controller video by now so you've already seen most of these in detail but this is the drawer they live in so when you're playing a game whatever it's really easy to reach over grab an extra control for somebody else whether it be Xbox Playstation the Nintendo Wii U or otherwise so that's a quick look at the lounge now let's move over to my actual work setup so this is my work setup you can see it's dominated by the 27-inch display this is the cinema display thunderbolt display whatever you want to call it sports a large resolution of course 2560 in terms of pixels across well above 1080p so it's going to mean a lot of work space for me you know I'm doing a lot of web stuff a lot of video stuff so having a little bit of workspace is always a good thing you've also got my microphone right over here this is a broadcast quality mic full specs are down in the description like everything else but this is what makes me sound beautiful it is the electro-voice r e 20 and it's specifically designed for spoken word so for broadcast etc so it works really well for all my voiceovers and all the voice work that I do also the world-famous xB 500 s from Sony which I'm always talking about an incredible value Stoopid comfortable of course I mean that in a good way they're really light I could do a little fashion show for you guys check that out they're not the prettiest looking headphones but who cares because if you're like me you spend a lot of your day with headphones on your head and comfort is probably more important than anything else so I'm a big fan of these they're incredibly affordable I'll link them down in the description if you can still find these you have to pick them up incredible value we've also got the - keyboard this is the Mac version so you have your Mac Keys on here like your command key etc it's a mechanical keyboard so it helps me get work done faster of course you know most people feel that mechanical keyboards are far more precise when they're typing out long emails you've also got my audio interface down here I'm a big fan of this audio interface it's the Apogee one it's a USB interface and has really high-quality analog to digital converters so what that means is that when you speak you're speaking in an analogue way and it's up to your interface to then turn that into digital information Apogee has some of the best converters out there and this one's amazing because it's in such a small form-factor it's portable I can take it with me on trips and still keep that high quality audio when I send my broadcast quality mic into that interface there's no point in having a good mic if you don't have a good interface to receive that audio signal you've also got my MacBook Pro over here that's at the heart of the entire setup that's still what I'm running today as my main laptop this of course is a 2011 late 2011 model but I did so many upgrades to it and I customized it in so many ways that I just didn't want to say goodbye to it you know I replaced the optical drive with a hard drive and I also replaced the traditional hard drive with an SSD you can see the entire operation in a video hopefully I can link that as well so many links in the description you must check the description but anyways it is of course my trusty macbook pro that has not let me down 15 inch of course and as far as far as specs go it is a quad core so it's it's fairly snappy when it comes to video work if I have to do video work on it you've also got my favorite Mouse on the planet it is the performance MX from Logitech I say it's my favorite just because of the ergonomics you know the way that it fits into my hand also the number of buttons I'm a big fan of using you know expose and and spotlight and a number of other things in Mac OS 10 so this makes things a little bit easier I don't have to reach for my keyboard beside that you can see an iPad Mini which I'm probably using more than any other tablet right now I have the Smart Cover in red a lot of people did this red on black sort of selection when it came to the Smart Cover on the iPad Mini so that that I'm usually more than any other tablet right now I think mainly because the battery life is so amazing and also for some reason just because you know I'm not reaching for the larger ones maybe because I spent so much time on the computer with a larger screen anyways I don't really know moving along a little further you can see my nexus for my daily driver in terms of smartphones it's sitting on top of the wireless charging orb so for those of you that were wondering why you'd want a wireless charger it's because I just strictly pull it off like this and then just place it back down throughout the day I never forget to do so that's just where the device lives and it's always charging because of that so a really cool sort of way to keep your phone in an upright position in the Doc's orders position so you can see notifications text messages etc coming in but you're still charging at the same time on a nice little base like that without the need to no wiggle with the little microUSB that I'm not a huge fan of so it is a convenience thing and it is overpriced but it'll be linked down below nonetheless like everything else next you have a small Dell screen over here which I've had for a little while and I still really like it's actually sort of like a computer monitor and a TV in one in a couple of different ways it's got an HDMI input which not all monitors back then had when this one was purchased it's also got a pretty decent speaker system on the bottom with a headphone output so that means that I can you know just very easily plug in headphones or a headset depending on what I'm doing I have the Gears of War 3 Xbox hooked up over here so the halo for Xbox is hooked up to the the big display over in the lounge and I've got the Gears of War 3 limited edition Xbox hooked up over here with a pair of astro a40 s up on top there you go with the MLG tags trust me I ain't no MLG caliber player but I can pretend um so anyways that's going into this screen right here and because this is based on a computer monitor there is really no input lag at all and another reason that I really like to game on a small screen is for some reason I find it easier to sort of track you know players especially in like first person shooters etc you can really see the entire frame a lot better than on a big panel so I would definitely recommend if you want to get competitive with gaming if you're not just if it's not strictly entertainment and you want to do a little bit better think about a smaller monitor on a desk or something like that this one I'm not sure if you can still get it but I'll link something similar down below you can get something similar from Samsung and they're really affordable you know a couple hundred bucks and you're ready to go on the desk you've also got the beautiful the wonderful Nexus 10 which is of course incredibly nice to look at you've got that ridiculous pixel density on there and it's incredibly thin too so this is just a beautiful device to show things off if you want to show somebody a video really quickly and pass it over them this is really a beautiful way to do so most you guys have seen some of my coverage on Nexus 10 you're also going to find the modern warfare 3 special edition controller that one is kind of funny that one's hooked up to the Gears of War 3 xbox right now but that's just that just worked out that way for the purpose of this video you got my backup Drive over there that's a list C Drive I believe it's only one terabyte I will need something bigger very shortly because I'm running out of space in terms of backups having to overwrite backups right now you have the PlayStation Vita which also is featuring some special grips you see these grips right here make it a lot more comfortable to hold especially if you have average to large-size hands it feels a lot more like a traditional controller remaps the trigger buttons as well that's a very very cool little contraption to make your Vita a little bit more comfortable and of course the Vita is there as well my knife which everybody is always asking about this once and for all will be listed down in the description so you can finally go buy one if you really want one that badly it's a cool little knife from a company called cricket or CRKT and it opens in a unusual fashion so you press this little function portion up here and it flips out like that so it flips out from the side you close it in the same way a lot of people get freaked out when I first show it to them they don't feel comfortable using it that way but it's actually pretty easy once you get the hang of it and it is a really cool blade and a conversation starter but I wouldn't want you to start too many conversations with it especially for the wrong reasons so anyways check that out down in the description you finally know now which knife you've been seeing in a lot of my unboxing videos down here the last thing in my set up or the second last thing you can see my favorite bag right now this is a 10 bag which is what I carry all my gear in it's actually a camera bag but it has a laptop portion in it as well so it's a really easy way to carry some lenses maybe an SLR body like the 60d but still have room for a laptop and everything is really padded it's actually been through a lot travelled with me a lot and still very tough available in a few different colors the last item I almost forgot maybe my pride and joy this is the embody chair from Herman Miller it's not cheap and I know a lot of you guys are going to go crazy when you click the link down below and see the price on this thing to tell you right now you got to go check out the link to find out but it's a little bit expensive but hey I sit in it every day I spend a lot of time in it and it is very comfortable very adjustable and I really couldn't do without it at this point in my life so if you work on a computer if that's how you make your money if that's your profession and definitely check out the Herman Miller embody chair down in the description so beside my desk is our production space this is where all of the content gets created or at least most of it all the unboxing videos take place on this table right here a lot of you guys ask me how I get that nice white background well it's a white table against the white wall you get a nice little sort of white heavenly looking box if you guys know what I'm talking about some people have commented that that's what it looks like in the past we've also got this cool contraption here that allows for the camera to hang upside down to get that overhead perspective of course with the 60d you can take the screen out flip it in such a manner that you could still get really nice a really nice visual in order to monitor what's going on underneath the lens so this is this is really something that makes our videos special I think and something that I think I pioneered at least this exact set up this back backdrop or it's not really a backdrop but it's meant to hold a backdrop and the concept here is that if you're you know trying to green-screen something you can you know pull up a backdrop overtop of this but we're using it of course in a different way in order to get those overhead shots I'm not going to go over to many specs on the exact details on these different things because it can get you know really long-winded with the model names but just trust that everything here will be listed down in the description so that's where you can find it all over here you can see all our different tripods once again I'm not going to give all the models right here I don't want to bore you guys if you're really interested in knowing which ones I use then just look down below there's the Philip bloom pocket dolly down at the very bottom there which is basically a slider that's that's what gives you all those really brilliant you know beautiful looking sliding shots panning shots etc so that's a quick look at the production space a lot of you guys have been asking about this in the past so now you know this should give you a much bye idea of how we create content especially the actual unboxing portion of that content hey guys my name is will aka will de inter and let's check out my desk here you have some designs here that I got going on this is an Asus 27-inch monitor over here we have the XP 500 which I Rock pretty much every day to listen to music I did yes I did here this is my pride and joy of my 13-inch MacBook and it also has an upgrade of a samsung 830 128 gigabyte SSD and it's also souped up with 16 gigabytes of RAM and regular Mac keyboard here is the Corsair Vengeance M 90 series and you know it's pretty much off the top but I like it because of the weight has a really nice feel to it um this is where I do a lot of sketching my sketchbook here you can kind of take a look at what I like to do so there you go and yeah that's pretty much it what's up guys it's Kirk I do the video production and video editing for unbox therapy and their other channels that we do we're here to take a look at my desk so let's hop in as you can see I'm rocking 27 Dooley's hooked up to my 8 core Mac Pro that's just your standard model but we're going to beef up the graphics card

4s then I got the Magic Mouse coming in because I need the side to sides on the timeline I can't stand only having it up and down I need side to side it increases my efficiency by like 200% next to
