is this like a thing people do when we first saw the hutt's gaming bed
concept we had to have it and we tried
to get it but by the time we heard back it was too late vizio had already
sponsored this video concept where we set out to ikea hack together the
ultimate gaming bed battle station which
may actually come in handy for me seeing as i just had to have a pretty rough
conversation with my wife on our podcast
before we begin we need to take a closer look at the inspiration for this build
bauhat in japan took their existing lineup of gaming furniture and pieced it
together to build this sick setup they've got a ton of cushion options a
tablet monitor ARM and snack storage galore when we didn't hear back from
them though i thought you know what we could do that it wouldn't even be that
hard couple side stands some cushions a desk i bet we could even do it cheaper
so off we went to the great big swedish furniture factory ikea i get to try it
now right yeah okay all right okay okay got the side table okay got my phone my
other more different phone no normally the only drug dealers have two phones i
only deal in tech tips here okay all right oh my god i thought we threw away
this stupid body pillow you took it
okay all right all right that's not bad
oh that's the sound yeah oh it's over here
okay all right oh my god it's a lithium ion cell pillow
you delightful nerd colin
this is just taking up space but i guess we had to feature it so we considered
doing gigantic LTT Store CPU pillows but
we just couldn't find a feasible way to ship anything this big so colin took our
sample home and i guess brought it in oh wait no way so the intent here
yeah recline oh uh-huh this thing is freaking awesome
man i got my freaking doritos here i couldn't help noticing that there are
two bite brownies down there yeah just for you i haven't been eating a lot of
treats lately i've been trying to like get in game shape here
but guess how much we spent on junk food for this video um it doesn't matter because
i have gotten my entire money's worth fantastic i love it i won't tell you
that you know it's probably just as well okay hold on give me one sec
that's it we lost him you probably noticed a lot of the
pillows here are not from ikea but most of the rest of the stuff is after
scouring their website which like their stores is enormous and confusing we
ended up with around a dozen pieces of furniture which means we had
a few hundred pieces of wooden lego to assemble some
highlights here are the lorbie which is a little oh that's wow that's really
you you really love your vhb tape don't you call it i sure do whatever it's a
usb charger back there we've got the set scrug
nightstand that's this puppy right here and you better believe we didn't forget
about the rosen scarm i don't know that i would call this the most comfortable
pillow ever like if i was going to put my head on it but in terms of like a
really rigid pillow to support my back with another nice soft pillow in front
of it not too shabby after converting our canadian rubles to us greenbacks the
furniture in this build cost us a total of about nine hundred dollars and
considering that the bow hut setup that we're emulating costs 1300 without the
bed i'd say we actually did pretty darn
well just get yourself done oh dude
this is hilarious where'd this ARM come from uh amazon and it broke immediately
on installation okay so first you're going to want to
grab your laser controller it's a little blue guy top on the left by the coffee
machine uh-huh okay great so then on laser os
you're going to want to go to oh you're in the settings center mast i
can fix it hey oh my god there's so many games how does
such a niche product have so much stuff on it pick any games
there's gallica laser bird
no but i've got a i've got a laser gun
flappy bird with world ending weapons this is so cool as cool as the laser
cube is though i think most people are gonna stick with more conventional
gaming experiences so we've got an xbox series x up in here oh
that's surround though of course this is sponsored by vizio
they got surround speakers that makes sense i get it i suck with the
controller man this game's cut i've never actually played this game with
surround sound on before it's kind of intense i don't know how to use the
chainsaw with a controller well there we go man i must be hard to watch have you
tried this colin yeah it's kind of crazy actually yeah it actually sounds really
good i got kids right so it's been a long time since i've gamed with speakers at
all let alone like a surround setup do you want to play any other games forza
maybe yeah i think firing up fours is probably a pretty good idea can i just
try and drive a little better before i say stuff so that it doesn't look
totally stupid this is another game that really benefits from surround like as
someone's coming up behind you which for me happens a lot you know people passing
me it it's quite the experience makes it much more enjoyable
oh no oh no oh no you cooked it yeah
hey great clean racing the game says all right man this looks really good it is
kind of amazing how much tv you can get for like a little over a thousand us
dollars these days hey especially something that can do 4k 120. yeah
obviously a big part of the gaming experience is the star of the show our
huge vizio p65 q9 tv it's a butte that
won't break the bank coming in at 11.99 for this 65 inch model we've got it
hooked up via HDMI 2.1 to both the xbox
series x which can operate in 4k up to 120 hertz with a full 48 gigabit per
second connection as well as our main gear gaming pc down here
auto low latency mode automatically reduces the input delay which makes it
great for gaming but i can't promise that it'll improve your skills because
it sure didn't improve mine what if i get hungry though oh well you
want some snacks you're sitting over top of them i got i got snacks but what if
i'm like really hungry you know oh you want to make a meal there you go oh my
god we got all three meals in here i could gain 20 pounds
from just from this setup hold on a second am i expected to just crush it up
in the package sprinkle on the no no no no no
we never do that yes it's actually great it's amazing it's great okay but we have a way to do
this okay so if you see on the other side of the pillow
there's a coffee machine this is what happens when you give a
writer way too much time to work on the project
open up you vicious monster
now put put it right in the thing in what thing in the coffee machine wait
what yeah you're kidding no not at all what just like pudding no not up in the top i
don't drink coffee how do you get through life smells like coffee colin
the water's brown i washed it
like gently is this like a thing people do yeah absolutely shut up yeah you're a
college kid you only got one utensil it's the coffee maker oh you've never
made grilled cheese on an iron before uh
and now we wait
like you want me to have low self-esteem
we are actually farther finland not bad they got like a similar ratio to
the little minis i'm doing a long beat saber session tonight that's my justification for this
beat saber is exercise okay
it does count love that sound
vizio's elevate soundbar was a perfect companion for the setup it packs 18
drivers in total with 13 in the soundbar itself one in the wireless subwoofer and
two in each of the surround speakers it's dolby atmos certified with rotating
upward firing speakers and the purpose there is that it'll automatically detect
when atmos compatible content comes through it and it'll rotate them up to
bounce them off the ceiling for more immersive sound what's really neat is
that for non-atmos content they can pivot back to the front widening the
sound stage noticeably of course who wants to enjoy a movie without a
beverage oh god
i could get used to this
man if i didn't have to actually like share
my movie watching experience with anyone you know actually this bed is a pull-out
bed is it it's a pull-out bed yeah it's a it's meant to have two twins on it uh
we just went with a single mattress because i wanted
only a little bit of coffee taste fantastic
i'm so hungry though i don't even care
what what what's up you don't like my gaming bed so you're thirsty right um so
why do you look right below you there
okay that's some canadian engineering if i
ever saw any so we apparently excuse me
lined one of the drawers with plastic which i'm very appreciative by the way
i'm glad we at least did line it with plastic let's say i consumed some water yeah
why don't you look uh right below the coffee machine there oh my god
you didn't i did so all i got to do is crawl over here
oh god did to go to bed pan
with that you can last a week a week would without having i mean yeah
you got to eat all the beef jerky first gee i don't know man well that's what
the bottles are for but yeah what comes out can't possibly
be more than what goes in so that's science that's some real science right
there ladies and gentlemen just don't store your two bite brownies in there people might get the wrong idea and i
think all that's left is to try a more
pc gaming experience here i actually love this thing colin had to
have me bring it in from home because i that's where i keep it it's a rock at
sova and it's perfect for pc gaming on the couch
oh that's a little loud ah i gotta run away you gotta run away
i gotta get surround at home footsteps man footsteps are real
what i thought they said there's three left i just got killed by a bot
so that's our take on the gaming bed concept if you guys want to do something
like this we have a full breakdown of all the parts that we used in the forum
post that's linked in the description thank goodness they just list it all
down there that's a lot better than me stumbling over all those swedish words
but a big thank you to vizio for sponsoring this video was actually a ton
of fun for us to create and shoot thank you guys for watching and if you're
looking for some more tv related content why not check out how close is too close
what's the best tv viewing distance did that video a little while ago but it's
pretty darn informative actually got kind of like sciency thanks james
