Designing The Ultimate Nostalgic Game Room!

This is my dream game room, in a room that is very special to me! Enjoy taking a tour around for the first time, as well as a bit of backstory!
This is my Game Room / KZbin Studio Tour for 2022! My Setup will be changing throughout the year, so I'll make an updated game room tour setup video for 2022 later in the year to show progress too!

[@otoko_oidon]

There is a joy of life in your channel and the way you are not found in many places. Congrats for that and all your hard work.

[@RetroBreak]

Thank you! Glad to bring some joy to KZbin! :D

[@zero.the.prototype]

My long lost brother, I am so proud of you. Please know that I share your joy and accomplishment as well as sense the depth of emotion you have for your family and their home. I am so pleased that you have found a way to keep the love of others with you and make yourself comfy and established at the same time! Serious congratulations are in order. The studio looks fantastic! I hope it makes you feel like the true pro that you are. I can see great things in the future for your career. Keep grinding ♡

[@RetroBreak]

Thanks! Glad my feelings came across in the video! Hopefully having all this setup will help make my videos more pro! Can’t wait to start creating again!

[@iansteels9195]

Genuine personal stories are never boring mate. I am sure your grandparents are proudly looking down right now.

[@jonathan2950]

I can’t speak for anyone else, but I found your brief story about the house really interesting, and would definitely watch another video on it if you did one. We’re all here for the games and the retro, but we all have real life stuff in the foreground so it’s definitely good to see that side from you too! I must say I’m very jealous of your game room. I don’t have anything like that (I have a corner TV cabinet and 1 bookshelf), but I can’t complain. My wife allows me to have the monstrous PVM on display in the house to use which I’m extremely grateful for! 😀

[@BillB808]

To be honest anyone would probably really love the thought of their grandkids moving into their house after they're gone. Thats part of getting a house and paying it off in the first place so your kids (and in this case their kids) can have a place to live/grow up. While you'll obviously not be able to talk to them about it i can imagine somewhere up there they would be really pleased about it.

[@door2977]

It's wonderful that you took on your grandma's house and turned it into your own, that's got to be a great feeling. Awesome video and hope everything turns out well.

[@nr7975]

That's an awesome home man. Hard work definitely paid off. Be proud of yourself, you deserve it!

[@DadLadsGaming]

The room looks amazing Nick. I'm sure your grandparents would be incredibly proud.

[@RetroBreak]

Thank you! My Grandad was always amazed whenever I’d connect anything to the TV and call me a genius haha, so I wonder how he’d react if he saw all that wiring behind the TV’s!

[@reagandow850]

Thanks for sharing such personal memories of your Nan and the house as well. I’ve always thought there was a lot more then just games to you and I was very right. ;) Great set up a as well. I can’t wait to see the room when it’s completed.

[@ecoao80]

that switching/capture set up is so cool. congratulations on the progress

[@SaturdayMorningGamer]

Loved every second of this! Would have watched a bunch of the house renovation content too. Congrats dude - space looks great!

[@bikegeist]

Exciting stuff! Sure to be some great new memories in the new place.

[@readyforclarity]

Whoa. What an undertaking. Geez, man, way to go! I'm only a couple minutes in and I'm exhausted and inspired. You have lots to be proud of. Thanks for sharing this, and mentioning it in your latest video. I missed this the first time around, and it made me smile!

[@RetroBreak]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the backstory to my room! Can’t believe all the effort I put in last year! So glad I can relax and enjoy it now!

[@SolinoOruki]

Such lovely video especially with the intro and the music montage. Changed my mood completely

[@danielcrowl842]

I'm so sorry for your loss Nick...But Im glad to hear your making the house your own....Cant wait to see more videos down the road !!!

[@RetroBreak]

Thanks! Can’t wait to get settled in properly! Still got lots of work to do, so I might not be able to make as many regular videos for a while :(

[@izmirnator3470]

I really like it how you‘re organized your gaming room. I‘m always hoping to make one in the future. I‘m definitely sure that your grandparents are going to be proud of you.

[@bjornh1527]

I can sympathise with all the hard work it’s been to get the house in shape. Last year me and a brother emptied out the house where my dad used to live. So very exhausting. Very wise of you to get an adjustable table for your computer. I have one at work and it does so much good for me to stand up periods of the day.

[@RetroBreak]

The standing desk was my first priority honestly! Now I’m working from home I thought it would be good for me! I love using it!

[@Emperix]

Loved the video, Nick. Nice setup with the room. Can't remember if I've mentioned it before but I love the cable management on the wall. We've recently bought our own house as well and I cannot wait to rebuild the games room. This time, making it more my own as opposed to a half-hearted attempt at our first place, lol.

[@ufoguy]

I love how personal you are with us! It's great that you managed to buy this house and keep it the family along with the memories.

[@mrpetedc66]

So pleased to see you back after your short hiatus. Your videos are always a breath of fresh air - it really shows through how much passion you have and how happy it makes you. The enthusiasm is always super contagious. I'd love to see your channel grow and really take off because I think you deserve it. All the best! 🙂

[@8BitBoyUK]

Nice one body and that is a really cool story how you bought your Nan's house. Good luck with the Room and getting everything finished off

[@maurollamastrivi3432]

Great video! I love how your new game room looks and how you've managed to create such a seamless flow. I'd really like to achieve something akin to what you have. Keep up the great work and continue evolving your setup. Also, you can tell how much this means to you on a personal level and I'm sure that your grandparents wherever they are would be proud of you for following your dreams. I look forward to more of your videos. Sending you good vibes from Argentina!

[@deanrussell1234]

Very Happy for you both in your new home. Looking forward to watching more videos in the future :))

[@RetroAFCNicØ]

Very helpful as I am building out my own office/game room/den.

[@Neo-Abobo]

Congrats on the move, the room is coming along really nicely. Looking forward to your upcoming videos, always brightens up my morning when I see a new RetroBreak video in my feed.

[@SilverMongooseVideos]

I actually really enjoyed the earlier part of the video :) Your cord org game is on point, my man.

[@franzbinett9416]

Great to watch. So much money and time invested. I love the wall mounted board for the switches and cables 👍. I got a great solution for the branch contacts i wish i could show u. But you probably figure that out aswell. You will do fine

[@berlinka]

So great to see how you put your heart and soul into this. Wonderful and moving to hear your story about the house and how it's so important to you. I can understand if you have so many childhood memories there. What a great new place to be working in. Blessings!

[@retrojimtendo]

Great video, so good to see you're getting everything all together. You've managed to get so many tech devices so nicely organised - very impressed. I imagine it's going to make capturing game footage a breeze from now on, I bet you can't wait.

[@barstoolcomics7619]

Hey there, just a lone viewer writing a comment on the off chance its viewed by you, the creator. I may not be able to speak for everyone, but in the beginning you emphasized that this was a gaming channel and you do not wish to "bore" us with other topics. However, I was highly invested in what you had or would have said, documentaries are major hits, as-well as biographies, if you felt like opening up and getting into a specific and more personal topic genre, you would still have had my thumbs up and viewership ! keep up the great content !

[@RetroBreak]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed my personal story as well as the gaming side! I’ll try and open up a bit more in future videos :)

[@hovermotion]

Superb story...well done...Jim

[@guffff]

I think what you've done is really amazing, Nick! It's really touching that it is your grandparents house, really interested in seeing how you changed the house...i know it's not a gaming video but just curious what you've done with the place. Take care, Nick!

[@RetroBreak]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video and story! Still got lots to do with the house but it’s slowly taking shape!

[@CrimsonQuandary]

I'm here for the games, but also wouldn't mind some more about the house reno.

[@SidBarnhoorn]

That’s an awesome room with a very handy/efficient setup connecting all the consoles and computers and great you were able to buy your grandma’s house. 😊🎉

[@NCS07]

Congrats on finally moving, can’t wait to see a new era of videos in the new room!

[@ls28harry]

Thanks for sharing your story.

[@RetroBreak]

Thanks for watching :)

[@boulderdashc6425]

You go for it mate, enjoy it. I've had to fix up a house myself which was hard work but worth it. Fun video to watch thank you.

[@QueenViolet8]

So Happy for you 😀 I only have a gaming closet and many of my consoles are under my bad🤪

[@sneshead3326]

Congratulations on the new house 🏠 and game room! It was because of this channel I bought a Saturn which is one of my favourite consoles now. Look forward to seeing more videos from the new game room

[@RetroBreak]

That’s awesome! I want to do more Saturn videos this year :D

[@robinhatherall6779]

Thanks for the insight, Give yourselves a pat on the back.

[@TheRetroCount]

I initially thought the room was a bit small for my liking but after hearing your story I couldn't think of a better place for a game room. Great video!

[@RetroBreak]

Yeah it’s not the biggest room, but compared to the room I was in before it’s twice the size at least! It will do for a few years! I’m planning to do a garage conversion at some point and might end up making that my game room in the future.. time till tell!

[@tomdugdale1320]

Congratulations on the move and the new game room - that is one epic cabling setup 😆

[@BudgetNostalgia]

Loving the setup, looking forward to seeing how you've wired it all up, seems to work so well! Congrats on getting the room where it's at, looks great 😁

[@vitorkk328]

Great!!

[@hellodarren]

Really enjoyed this video, thanks for sharing! Im glad im not the only person with a stack of old consoles available via a few switches supported by multiple scart switches, hdmi splitters and a cable nightmare as sugar on top

[@goldensyrupgamingshow2978]

Nice!! Looking good man!

[@hishamhammad4355]

Really impressive!

[@matthewdeldegan]

Great work! Keep it going! You got this! So happy for you!

[@raviamodernepic]

This is so cool!

[@acecarrera1]

I'm not crying, you're crying. The music is nice though.

[@RetroBreak]

I was crying while editing it 😆

[@Asobitech]

Thanks for the look around your new setup. Some very cool ideas there indeed. Please tell me you have a back up solution for all your videos. As having them all just on one drive, means if that fails, they're all gone.

[@RetroBreak]

I have everything from 2020 and before backed up on other drives, but I need to find a way of storing the new stuff! 4K footage is too big to store on my old ones! Thinking of getting some kind of server or raid to back up onto..

[@donapachemagnanakawngbeat]

That's some impressive game room not gonna lie.

[@RealziesCuts]

Break em off 🎮🏆

[@leoash9707]

Great!

[@SvenDesigns]

Amazing !

[@RC-pj1pr]

Nice room man. Have you considered a retrotink 5x pro? You can pair it up with a hydra SCART switch and route RGB, S Video and Composite all through just two devices. As you also have a CRT you could get the hydra switch with 2 SCART outputs.

[@RetroBreak]

Thanks! Yeah I’ve actually had both the retrotink and the hydra on my wish list for a while now! One day I’ll have a nice RGB set up, trying to get all my consoles region and 50:/60hz modded too!

[@allenantonio4389]

congratulations .....

[@kaibachaoschampion]

Oh wow, this video came at the perfect time. We are trying to move out at the moment and it is the most frustrating process I've ever dealt with in my entire life. This is exactly the setup I want! Do you mind saying if you kept it within a budget? We're probably doing to end up hiring people to fix things from the survey wrong with our place and it's horrifyingly expensive despite initially seeing it as immaculate.

[@RetroBreak]

Way over budget so far.. Don't want to go into specifics publicly, but a lot more needed doing than we realised. Plus with mess ups from the solicitor I had to pay another big sum up front. luckily I got the house at a discount as it was sold through family so I could afford it. Will be remortgaging in a few years to take advantage of the improvements increasing the value, but it's a lot to spend now :/ Good luck with yours!

[@stevedog3934]

Amazing video.

[@9ElevenGamer]

Looking forward to seeing what you do with the GB games.

[@keif_mn]

Great video, glad you're getting settled in. Dude I'm vibing on the music! I shazam'ed and got ELFL "All Emotions." How did you find out about this crew? Thanks.

[@RetroBreak]

I found it on epidemic sound!

[@SilenceWillNotBeTolerated]

Honestly I would go about restoring the home before getting a game room together but thats just me

[@RetroBreak]

I’ve been doing both, a lot of the home restoration is waiting for specific tradesmen, so we can work on the game room / offices in the meantime

[@leoash9707]

Can we expect a game collection video soon?!?!? 😳

[@RetroBreak]

Sure once I’ve got the extra shelves and everything’s out! :D will be a long video!

[@retrojimtendo]

Am I first? 😆

[@RetroBreak]

I saw it before you though! :P

[@retrojimtendo]

@@RetroBreak haha, I did see 1 view, I hoped it would have to be you 🤣
