That man cave had some wack ass snacks
Are short throw projectors the future?? Other than the price difference i'm sitting here thinking why get an LG 65" joint when you can get the 90" to 120" LG projector? When they come down in price will ppl cop over the tvs?
I don't know how long projectors last now, but I used to have one years ago. The main trade off, is the bulbs going out and you needing to replace them each time.
If you plan on using the projector a ton, you will be going through bulbs. Where as, TVs you aren't going to have that issue unless the TV isn't known for its durability.
How often did you have to replace them? I think for that screen size i could tolerate it maybe once, twice a year tops.
Probably once every 12 to 16 months. But this was like 10 years ago when I would be playing games on this thing for hours on top of hours.
I'm sure the tech is better now and they are more efficient. The added cost is something to consider before copping tho
Just left a Best Buy Magnolia Store, demo'd Definitive Technology speakers

So, since my last post, got a new assignment and bought a house. The goal for the entertainment center in the living room was to be a little more post-modern and grown up. The video game posters and vinyls are going to go up in the game room, which I'm still furnishing and hoping to have fully up and running by the end of April. Furnishing a house is a bytch.
TV is a 75-inch Samsung RU8000, all the equipment is otherwise the same. I love the sounder and don't feel the need to upgrade to a full sound system, and as ya'll can see, I don't have the space. Lamp will probably be swapped out with a house plant at some point. It's a great space for sports with the friends and family; dim the room and it's cinema like. No regrets going this big on the TV. Gonna get some photos on the walls over the next couple weeks as well.

hilarious gif lmaooo!
So, I've updated due to the accumulation of new shyt, it's varied enough to see a difference. 1st pic is where I moved my desk from the right side to the left side of the television. Still got some of my PC stuff there, the monitor is upstairs on wife's computer since I never went dual screen often. I have calculators as in plural because I work in finance, simple calculator, and my TI Business Analyst Plus. Other random assorted things like my two Xbox One Controllers, 160GB iPod Classic, DJ Hero turntables on the bottom and hand sanitizer, since my son and his friends be trying to blow up the spot now, wash your fukking hands before you touch my shyt. He be trying to be cool and shyt and floss down here, just keep my shyt clean lil iceberg.
Where the games are that are physical, PS Vita is in the case behind the controllers. Yes, I did import Dead or Alive Xtreme Volleyball 3, I'm a fan, making no apologies.
Raise the shelving to accommodate more games
A few steps back from the television, PS3 and Xbox 360 controllers on the entertainment system. I upgraded that camera from the one in the previous pics, I believe I had a 720p one, this is 1080p
Had to move some things around since we got new couch and sofa upstairs, I wanted the old sofa down here and to match, I was just like, this mancave gets more traffic now, i.e. kids and unsure of their level of home-training, a futon will suffice so that is what I got. Over in the corner are my Rock Band drums and guitar with my Pioneer DDJ-SX and some Pioneer DJing headphones. Astro A50s on the PC case
Copped another Michigan rug, this is the best place for it for now. I have two keyboards and three mice down here. On the futon, I'll use my Corsair K70 RGB keyboard and M65 Pro Mouse. When on the sofa furthest away from the television, I have my Logitech wireless keyboard, wireless trackball, and wireless regular mouse. A nikka just likes options fam.
Another shot of the futon, white thing on the floor is my mancave fridge. I fukking hated always going upstairs to get something to drink, call it laziness but during the 4th quarter of a tightly contested sporting event, I'm not trying to leave the viewing area, it's an Emerson fridge and it's dope. My gaming junk drawers with miscellaneous stuff like my Hori arcade stick for PlayStation systems on top. You can see my trackball mouse in this pic. Some new posters since last time as well. My work suitcase next to the fridge, during warm months, I use that for my work laptop, during the cold and snow, I have a carrying case for it.
I'm a Detroit nikka, born and raised, this is what I rep, the sofa in question. I think everyone has that piece of furniture that will hit you like Nyquil, this is mine. Comfy as fukk. Yes, I shyt talk the Lions virtually every day of my existence, but they are my fukking team and I, unfortunately, bleed Honolulu Blue.
On the fireplace, I keep my tablet, it's a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition (long name) One of the best purchases I've ever made in regards to value and enjoy derived from it.
Because I'm running out of room, I wanted to get some monitors for my DJing since I do it as a hobby. However, I dug these Bose Companion 2 Series II out of hibernation and sent them back to work. This is behind the television, I'm working some getting something to mount on the wall or something.
Same thing for the other side, in addition to a 1TB and 8TB HDD back there.
I want to do something about this wire clutter, but I think this is the best thing smoking now.
This is the actual view from my sofa
If I'm posted up on the futon, yes, that's part of me in the pic. I lounge down here.
Shot of my Michigan sign and GTA5 poster
I'm up now because I'm waiting for Redout: LightSpeed Edition to drop on Xbox Live, I've preordered so long again, racers are my favorite type of game and F-Zero/Wipeout like racers are my favorite type of racer so I'm just killing time while waiting for the piff to drop.
this is dope as fukk

2 Martin Logan Dynamo 700 subwoofers
Great audiophile set-up.
Marantz + Martin Logan >>> Pioneer, Yamaha, etc.
Thank you. Still working on tuning.
I might need external amplification, rew, and a minidsp. It doesn't sound that good as is sits right now. The bedroom set up that's just a $200 set of Philharmonic Monitors and that old intergra receiver sounds LEAGUES better.
