The video game industry went from an obscure hobby for kids to an entertainment industry that makes more money than movies and music combined. For over 40 years, video games have captured the imagination of gamers around the world. Just as sports fans have incorporated their favorite sports into their homes, gamers have done so in their homes. If you want to join in that trend, what are some essentials to building a space around your hobby?

Including surround sound will help you give you the edge you need in beating your most bitter rivals.

Gaming Chair

Turn a room into a theatre with much less equipment.
