Room Tour - My Work from Home, Gaming Room and Home Theatre Setup
Hello, and welcome back to my channel.
In this video I give you a tour of my 2022 Working from Home / Home Office / Man Cave / Home Theatre / Gaming Room. This is slightly more of a whistlestop tour of the room - I've got some more detailed versions of the room from last year's setup in other places on my channel.

Steam Deck Review - 2 Months On. How well does it play games? Can it run Game Pass?
Переглядів 5002 роки тому
Hello, and welcome back to my channel. In this video I review the 256GB UK version of the Steam Deck, 2 months after purchase. We have a look at how some games run on it and see if we can get Xbox Game Pass running on it. This was bought direct from Valve with my own money, and my opinions are my own. Any of this useful?

    I would be new to PC gaming if I were to get this. Do you need a P.C. to get the best from it? . I currently have a PS5 and just want something to be able to pick up and play. Really like this. Just on the fence as to the 256gb version or the 512gb. I wouldn't use it outside, so I'm not sure I'd benefit from the anti-glare screen all that much and from what i can tell the colours look brighter on the 256gb model?. I would get a 512gb memory card in either case. I'm asking for a little guidance and didn't want to make an expensive mistake.

    • @NicktheGeekUK
      @NicktheGeekUK Рік тому

      No, no PC required whatsoever - it’s a portable gaming PC itself. Personally I’ve not had a single regret with buying my 256gb model and sticking a memory card in it. There’s no performance difference between that and the 512gb one as far as I understand.

  • @richardbergin
    @richardbergin Рік тому

    nailed it. I looked around at good value options to get decent mobile internet in the van, but all the solutions were either $500 AU or didn't have an external antenna, or were cheap repeaters which apparently doesn't work for vans. This is a good option!

    You should do a review on the Logitech Embody. I have one and I would like to see other peoples opinions are about the chair. I’ve had mine over a year now sitting in it as least 12+hrs per day and I have never sat in anything as comfy with exception to my wife’s gaming Sayl. It’s a cheaper version but it is almost just as comfy in my honest opinion. Thanks for the vid! It was great! Thanks.

    Great video. You took the time to actually show the viewer what you were talking about and lingered on the item for long enough so that the viewer can get a decent look without flicking away too quickly like most of these videos ive seen. You also stuck to the functionality of each item rather than talking about "vibes" etc. Special thanks for mentioning the fact you can sit with one leg up on the chair. Not everyone sits perfectly all the time but few mention things like this. Finally thanks for not adding annoying music. Subbed

      Hah, calming voice! Thanks very much :) Yeah - the setup's working great at the moment. Only mild annoyance is my OWC Thunderbolt 4 Dock keeps falling off the bottom of the desk. Everything else is rock solid and stuck with double-sided foam... the Dock... nope, keeps falling off no matter how many times I re-stick it. So I've got a bespoke under-desk mount coming for it all the way from the USA! Completely with you on the Ultrawide love - at first it's incredibly strange... but then you get used to it and a normal 16:9 seems alien in comparison! Thanks very much for the comment :)

Couldn't get a signal from it (or my mobile, tbf) for love or money! Trim clips - yeah, work perfectly on the roof lining... not sure what other vans are like, but it's almost as if the Transit Custom is intended for it. They're up, and they ain't coming down without a fight.
