I'm about to transform this cone empty room into the ultimate dual gaming room

Because about a month ago my girlfriend and I moved house

and since then this has pretty much been our gaming setup It's not the best.

So over the next five days I'm gonna completely transform this

room into the ultimate dual gaming setup complete with incredibly powerful PCs some of the most high-tech gaming accessories

and of course Incredibly cool lighting designs.

This is gonna be the best gaming room I've ever built on this channel

and my most expensive but there's another reason as to why I'm building it so This is my beautiful fiance Emily.

We recently just moved house and in five days.

It's Emily's birthday

So I thought it would be a really cool idea is

if in those five days I make literally the craziest dual gaming setup for your birthday

and then on your birthday We just spend all day playing games That would be amazing wouldn't it?

Incredible.

That would be amazing.

However you aren't allowed to go in the room so you've got to disappear.

So I have got my friend Adam here to help me out with the room

because this is going to be a ginormous build.

Probably the biggest gaming setup build I have ever done.

So Adam let's go do it.

Let's go get it done.

In fact we need to go to Ikea first.

Let's do that first.

Now we're heading to Ikea because most of the products in my initial design for this room are all Ikea products.

We searched around the entire store to find everything that we needed.

We need like a good few of these.

Pair them with a few of these Alex drawers, we'll get a mega desk.

And although we did find everything that we were looking for, one of these, one of these, I actually found a few things I didn't even plan to buy,

but I knew I had to have if this setup was going to be the best one I've ever built.

I could actually do this all day.

But once we found everything, we were faced with our very first problem.

Oh my god.

Oh my god, there's a lot of stuff in.

Yeah, there is too.

There's a lot.

Is this gonna fit?

This is really long It's like really long I don't miss my life.

Now because I have a small car It's not really designed to carry a lot of IKEA furniture.

Have you seen my seat?

Have you seen where I'm gonna have to sit?

Yeah, you're gonna have to sit in there.

You know what's funny from this camera you can't even see

you in the back Now as we make our way back home, I want to tell you the plan of how we're gonna make this room possible.

First of all, we need to fill the room with furniture.

Oh my god, he's burning.

He's dying, he's dying!

No!

Then we need to add some crazy lighting.

Oh god, there's police.

Adam, there's police.

And then finally, we need to add a dual gaming setup.

Oh my god, that was so stressful.

Now we just had to bring everything in.

This is all the stuff that we've got for the room to build today.

This is the most IKEA furniture I've ever bought.

Where do you even start?

I think this would be easy.

Bang it out, a couple of hours, Red Bull.

Come on.

Oh my God.

Let's start with the drawers.

Instructions.

Oh, Adam, it's happening again.

Every time I'm here!

Every single time, the instructions always go out the bloody window.

Anyways, enough messing about, let's put these desks together.

Push that over here.

This desk is gonna be huge.

Oh, this is gonna look sick.

That is a mega desk.

Bro, you could get like a racing sim in here.

I don't know if you could.

I reckon you could.

Okay, all the desks have been put together.

We've got this huge L-shape.

My setup's gonna go here, Emily's setup's gonna go here and sort of over here.

It looks really cool.

However, we're not finished on day one just yet.

We have still got to build the chairs.

So let's go get them, Adam.

Now, luckily for us, Sihu had kindly sent out two of their finest chairs to put in this setup.

Whoa, special gloves.

Let's get these out.

This one looks right.

Oh, that is nice.

They smell good.

The chairs did in fact smell good.

And you know what?

They were easy to put together as well.

We did them in about 15 minutes.

But none of that really matters if they're not comfortable to sit on.

Okay, me and Adam have both built our chairs.

Let's test out if we're gonna use them.

Let's go.

Ooh.

Now this is alright.

Yo, look at this.

This is actually alright.

Oh!

100

Oh.

101

This is good.

102

Oh, man, I could fall asleep right here now.

103

I actually might.

104

Now the main chair that Sihou sent us was the Doros C300 Pro.

105

And I can't lie, this chair looks incredible.

106

It has a lumbar tracking system which provides real-time support that wraps around your lower back.

107

It's got three different angles for you to recline at.

108

6D coordinated armrests.

109

I mean, look at them.

110

They go up, down, left, right, forward, back, in, out.

111

There's even a tilt function.

112

This is one of the most versatile chairs I've ever sat in.

113

And I want to thank Sihou for sending it out as well as their M57 chair, which has a really nice provable mess design and also has dual lumbar support with 3D coordinated arm rests.

114

These chairs are gonna look absolutely incredible in this setup, and if you want to check any of them out, I'll leave a link in the description.

115

Like I said, this is gonna be the most expensive setup I've ever made, so thanks Seehoo for sponsoring this video and making this happen.

116

Now to round off the first day, I added some extra support to the mega desk, and I also stuck up these 3D art panels.

117

However, this literally took me all night.

118

It was really worth it though, as I feel like they give the room a bit of depth, and even though the room started to actually look good, It didn't stop me from attempting to put up a shelf before I went to bed.

119

Okay, it is 1 in the morning.

120

I don't know if you can tell in my voice, but...

121

I'm really tired.

122

So I'm gonna sleep and carry on in the morning.

123

Now, on the start of day two, me and Adam started to build another desk, because believe it or not, this room isn't gonna just have two setups.

124

It's gonna have three.

125

I'll explain later.

126

Anyways, it was time to add the rest of the shelves.

127

Look at that, like a glove.

128

Right now, I'm actually combining two different types of Ikea shelves to get like this really thick shelving design.

129

Is that what you'd call it?

130

Like a thick shelf?

131

I don't know.

132

I had to cut some of the shelves to make them fit.

133

But once we had done that, all the furniture was completed, which means we could move on to lighting.

134

However, not all of the stuff that I've ordered has arrived yet.

135

However, we've still got quite a few to put up.

136

Yeah, we're gonna fill this room with pretty much the craziest lighting I've ever put in any room.

137

So let's put them in.

138

This is literally just the first one.

139

I reckon it'll look even better when I turn these off.

140

Oh.

141

My.

142

This is one light.

143

One light.

144

I've got like 10 to 15 more.

145

This is gonna look good.

146

Anyways, the next light to add was this crazy desk light that I could put all the way around the desk.

147

Oh my god!

148

We've only put two lights on right now.

149

I could stop here and it would still look incredible.

150

This is gonna be the best setup I've ever made, I can just tell.

151

But if I actually want to make this the best room that I've ever made, I need to get rid of one of the worst things about this room.

152

The big light.

153

You see if I just turn off every single light in here and I put on the light switch

154

Do you see what I mean?

155

It just looks horrible.

156

I genuinely think this might be one of the worst things mankind has ever invented.

157

I Mean there is a few other things obviously, but top three at least So what I've got here is a Philips Hue light switch,

158

which is basically the exact same thing But it's a color-changing ball.

159

So I just get rid of this one I should be able to change it to different colours.

160

I bought this ginormous lamp from Ikea, right?

161

When you put on it, oh, whoa.

162

It, um, yeah, it does that.

163

Oh, my God.

164

Just like that, the room was completely transformed with just a few lights.

165

It's honestly giving me spaceship sort of vibes right now, but I still want to make this room better.

166

I'm whispering because I want to stay quiet so Emily can't hear me

167

but realistically I need to make this room look as good as possible

168

because genuinely this channel's success would not have happened without her.

169

Some of you may know that I've wanted to do YouTube since I was 11 years old.

170

Because of Emily, I am now doing that.

171

She's genuinely made my dreams come true

172

so I just want to be able to surprise her with this crazy room for her birthday.

173

I need it to be good.

174

So I'm going to work through the night.

175

I'm going to put up some more lights.

176

And yeah, overall, I feel like we've made some very good progress for day two.

177

Hello, my friends.

178

It is day three, and I have currently spent around about 90% of today just waiting around for Amazon packages.

179

Oh, cheers.

180

Cheers, thank you very much sir.

181

Oh my god, there are so many packages.

182

Let's take these upstairs.

183

Because the Amazon delivery was so late, it now means that we've got even less time to finish this, so we really need to get started.

184

More lights, soundproofing.

185

The next light is in.

186

Oooh.

187

It genuinely just keeps getting...

188

It just keeps getting better and better.

189

Now there was only one more set of lights to put up.

190

However...

191

I might have made a slight miscalculation.

192

I don't have enough.

193

I'm currently buying some and they will arrive tomorrow.

194

It just means that I'm really cutting it close.

195

So since we're putting lighting on hold right now, we need to move on with some other things.

196

Now this room currently has a problem.

197

When you clap, there's a bit of an echo.

198

So I need to reduce that by putting up these foam acoustic panels.

199

So I stuck them onto the wall, and not only did it give the wall a nice design, the echo was also massively reduced.

200

But now let's add the monitors.

201

We have got the monitor arms on which now means we've got to add some monitors to them and uh,

202

let's just say I might have gone a little bit overkill because not only do we have one monitor, I didn't just get two, I didn't get just three,

203

I didn't get just four, I didn't get just five.

204

I have got us six monitors.

205

That is three monitors each and a lot of electricity

206

Rip my bank account now for people who love tech the top two monitors here of 4k 27 inch monitors

207

144 Hertz and all the rest are just normal 27 inch 1080p monitors that are going to be used for other things.

208

So let's get these open That is nice And that is the sixth monitor.

209

This is really starting to come along now.

210

On a real one though, it is approaching midnight.

211

I know I was super hyped to put these monitors up, but now I just know I have got a lot to clean up.

212

Like, just...

213

Look at all this rubbish man.

214

I want to go to bed, but I'm gonna keep doing this forever.

215

I'm gonna just now tidy this entire place off pans I'll see you guys in the morning

216

Good morning everyone it is day four and

217

and let's just say right now I'm getting a little bit conscious of time because not everything has arrived.

218

I was taking a walk with Emily earlier

219

and I asked her what is the one thing that she's kind of really expecting from this whole setup and she said, As long as I get a PC, considering I gave my last one away to a subscriber.

220

It's fine, listen, I'll get you a new PC.

221

It'll be the best PC you've ever seen.

222

They haven't arrived yet and Emily's birthday is in two days.

223

However, some other stuff did arrive today which is the nano leaf lights and some more monitor arms.

224

So at least we've got something to work on today.

225

So I started adding the extra monitor arms and just as I thought I was making some progress...

226

Okay, we have a slight problem.

227

I've realized there's not a lot of leg room here.

228

I can only just barely fit in this place.

229

The problem is, I've used too many Alex drawers, and I've got to get rid of one without the entire setup collapsing.

230

Oh!

231

That nearly messed everything up.

232

I'm pretty much playing the setup equivalent of Jenga.

233

I don't like this.

234

Apart from if I mess up here, Emily's not gonna have any monitors.

235

You guys have no idea how tricky this is.

236

In the end though, I managed it.

237

The next thing on my to-do list is to fix the Nanoleaf panels.

238

Okay, the lights now should be all done, so let's plug them in.

239

Yo, oh my god.

240

This generally might be the best setup I have honestly ever made.

241

I am so happy right now.

242

We've only just now completed the lighting stage.

243

So if that crossed off the list, we're actually on track to finishing this before Emily's birthday.

244

Let me just configure these and we can finally turn all the lights on.

245

But it's when I started configuring them that we had another problem.

246

Okay, we have a serious, serious problem.

247

Trying to get the Nanoleaf lights to sync up to my phone, they just won't work.

248

The ones on the right here just seem to be faulty.

249

As I spent the past three hours trying to set them up, but they just wouldn't work.

250

I even went into my garage to see if there was any spare Nanoleaf lights, but I found nothing.

251

Basically, now midnight.

252

I've literally spent like seven hours trying to get them all to connect and link up and it just won't work.

253

I've done it hundreds of times before.

254

I've been on literally every Reddit post.

255

I've been on every online forum just trying to figure out

256

I'm just gonna have to sort lighting out on the final day then I guess.

257

It is the last day before Emily's birthday.

258

So I've got basically all of today to try

259

and finish off this room I don't really know if everything's gonna arrive today, but judging by the way things are going I might have to try and extend the deadline to like

260

Later in the day on her birthday, but yeah, we've got to get started now today Is the day where

261

we add in basically all of the gaming stuff accessories I've got

262

so many things to add in here First one we're putting in is these white speakers

263

that match perfectly with the cell and then we've also got these matching wireless Logitech headphones.

264

This is probably the most expensive setup I've made because everything that I have to buy, I have to buy two of them.

265

We've even got some LED headset stands so that these headsets have a place to sit.

266

We've even got a white microphone arm to go with a brand new Shure MV7 white microphone.

267

Now we're not really using this for gaming, it's going to be more for voice overs like the one you're hearing now.

268

In fact, this is the exact microphone that I'm currently speaking into and you can probably tell I sound a lot better.

269

Anyway, now it's time for the keyboards.

270

Now for me I've gone with this like, I don't even know what it's called, HI75?

271

I don't even know.

272

I saw it and it just, oh and it's white and blue so I thought it would be perfect.

273

For Emily's keyboard we're going with this pink EpiMaker one

274

which I put in her last setup but it's that good we've got to put it in this one.

275

And for the mouse we're going with the best mouse in the world, the MX Master 3S.

276

Again though I've had to get two of these which is um, this video has been so expensive.

277

I took another shot of trying to fix the lighting on the wall but then I had an unexpected guest arrive.

278

Oh look who decided to turn up.

279

Oh mate, I've missed a little bit of this haven't I?

280

Just a bit yeah.

281

Come and help me out man.

282

What's your first impressions?

283

This is so clean.

284

Now remember when I said earlier that I was building a third set up?

285

We still need to add things into that as it's currently.. well it hasn't got anything in it.

286

So we've actually got a mini PC that's going in here.

287

Nice little Keycon keyboard, HyperX mouse, speakers.

288

And you know how I also said earlier that I'd got six monitors?

289

That was a lie again.

290

I got seven.

291

So that's the seventh monitor now.

292

Oh god.

293

This setup is purely going to be used for dumping YouTube footage onto

294

and it's also going to be a spare setup if anyone else wants to game with us.

295

But anyways, forget about that.

296

Emily's new PC has just arrived.

297

This is Emily's PC, but we actually do have another one of these coming.

298

The problem is, I ordered these PCs on separate dates, so we do have another one of these coming.

299

You're just going to have to imagine right now that there is another one right here, because there is one coming.

300

Now, these PCs are top of the line.

301

I went all out on the specs for these, mainly because I did give Emily's last PC away to a subscriber, but this thing is better than anything she's ever had before.

302

These are the specs, literally it's top of the line.

303

It cost around about three grand and we've got two of them.

304

Anyways I added some final touches like Emily's iPad, a microphone and I even got us some custom Xbox Pro controllers.

305

These things are absolutely insane.

306

We've never played on Pro controllers before but just holding this thing in my hands, I know 100% it's going to enhance our gaming experience and of course I've got myself a matching one for myself.

307

And as we added them, it became midnight.

308

It literally just became Emily's birthday.

309

And she's just sat there editing.

310

Emily's actually working on a video right now which we want to make when we hit 500k subscribers, which will be to open the first ever free gaming store for a day.

311

We really want to make this video so hit subscribe if you want to see that happen.

312

Anyways, it's time for the final day.

313

Now to kick start off the final day, we have had a huge delivery from the guys at Technically Stable.

314

These guys honestly make some of the most craziest mouse mats I've ever seen in my life.

315

I mean just...

316

Look at how cool that's gonna look in the set.

317

Oh, that is perfect.

318

Oh, yes!

319

This is probably my favorite mouse mat design I've ever seen in my life.

320

But whilst I was showcasing off this mouse mat, I got a notification that I had been waiting for this entire week.

321

Oh my god.

322

Okay, DPD is here.

323

Okay, one second.

324

Oh my god.

325

I'm gonna have to pause on the mouse mat because my PC is here.

326

Yeah, my friend.

327

Ho ho ho ho ho ho!

328

The second PC is here.

329

Let's get upstairs.

330

It's great news that the second PC has arrived.

331

However, I need to still show you guys these mouse mats.

332

Because I swear down to you, these are probably some of the best designed mouse mats I've ever seen in my life my life.

333

I feel like a lot of the time with mouse mats you can't really see the artwork

334

that is actually on them because a keyboard and mouse is usually covering it.

335

I feel like this one is one of the cleanest designs I've ever seen

336

and I've also got it in blue

337

but just in case we don't want to go with that we've also got this design and we've also got this design.

338

What's amazing as well is they've sent out the other color variant so we can basically have matching mouse pads as well.

339

Honestly this is not sponsored but a huge thank you to Technically Stable for sending out However, now it was time to bring in my PC.

340

Now, this was sent out by PC Specialist.

341

Again, not sponsored, but if you guys want to sponsor me, PC Specialist, then I like your products.

342

I wouldn't say no, but no, I did pay for this myself.

343

Oh my god, is it heavy, but also beautiful.

344

Let's do the peel.

345

Okay, time for the big reveal.

346

Oh.

347

My.

348

God.

349

Look at this.

350

I've never ever seen a motherboard like that.

351

This is genuinely so cool.

352

But we still weren't done with Adam thing.

353

The setup still needed some plants.

354

One can go here, one can go here, one can go here, one here, and one here.

355

And with that the setup was nearly done.

356

But there was one more thing to fix.

357

So, the reason I've got you round is

358

because I have got to take Emily on a birthday dinner in like an hour and a half.

359

So we've got basically just over an hour to make this room look as sick as possible.

360

And then I also might need you to fix the nano leaf design.

361

So yeah, we need to just get all of that done and then it's up to you.

362

You've forgotten something though.

363

What?

364

Look how tall you are.

365

I forgot your small arm.

366

And look how little I am.

367

Just reach, go on reach, reach, go on.

368

Small people problems.

369

So whilst I took Emily for a delicious birthday meal, Adam had to crack on and get the lights up.

370

The only problem was...

371

Oh my...

372

Yeah, no, that's not gonna happen.

373

I literally can't reach it.

374

Happy birthday to you.

375

I've got it.

376

Once Adam had fixed the height issue, he had no problem getting the lights up.

377

Oh my God, they're on.

378

They're on.

379

They're actually on now.

380

I thought I'd broken half of them.

381

With the lights finally up, the setup was now complete.

382

Which is great considering I was about to walk through the door with Emily.

383

Right, okay guys, this room is now pretty much done.

384

So, it's time to go show Emily.

385

Emily?

386

Is it time?

387

It's time.

388

This has been the biggest project I have ever done.

389

It's took me a week to build and I have spent so much money.

390

Honestly, I've spent quite a lot on this video.

391

If any of you guys could hit that like button just to help me out, that would be very appreciated.

392

There was a lot of problems, but you know what?

393

The entire journey of making this set was extremely fun.

394

And now I get to end off this video by showing it to my favorite person in the world.

395

I want you to remove your blindfold.

396

In three, two, one.

397

Open your eyes.

398

Oh my god.

399

Oh my god!

400

This actually looks incredible!

401

Oh my god, we've got matching PCs!

402

Yeah, a new PC for you as well. That looks insane.

403

I expect these out.

404

They're about three grand each.

405

So overall, you would say that you like your birthday present then?

406

I would say that I love my birthday present.

407

Thank you.

408

Thank you so much for making literally the power fix out.

409

Like ever.

410

It's alright.

411

Now my birthday is literally in seven days so like you know what are you getting me?

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
