You never realize how much crap you have until you move. I've moved a number of times thinking I didn't have much stuff....boy was I wrong! So happy for you and the new chapter in your life!
Dam that’s crazy my pap is 80 and is having his 3rd hernia and the doctors say they can’t do anything for him if it bursts!! So please send some prayers!!
Considering that you’re moving into a new house, maybe invest in some new shelving units that are all the same or similar color. Please don’t take my comment as being mean. I’m just a little OCD about a cohesive appearance and I think that would make your collection stand out even more. Always enjoy your videos.
I agree id say go with black or dark wood/walnut shelving to give a contrast with the lighter colored walls. Also would match the dark couch. There are some sellers on ebay that make some amazing large video game related banners (up to 30 ft wide). Some of the ones I went with are Star Wars, TMNT, Back To The Future etc I have them all around the walls of my game room. Bigger pieces can make a cooler statement sometimes then a ton of smaller frames. Thats just my opinion youve got a lot of walls to decorate.
I agree. With millions of views he certainly has the UA-cam Ad Revenue to warrant making his setup much more professional looking. It will easily pay for itself rather quickly by improving the production quality. Time to get rid of the poor man's budget ikea shelves!
I used to admire the “if you haven’t used it in a year, you never will, and you should get rid of it” until I started pulling out and playing my retro systems lately with much joy
If I was one of the movers I would be less surprised by the epic game room and more surprised by the lack of snakes. Metal Jesus looks like a dude that most definitely owns at least one snake. XD
I've been considering getting into collecting old school pc games, but it's just so far out there compared to what I'm used to, and I have no idea where I would even start. The point of my comment is to say that the more PC videos, the better! The more he does, the more it helps me get an understanding of what I want to go for for my eventual PC collection.
Sadly, this might be my reality in a year or two. I am planning to move out of my parents house and have over 900 games in my collection. Along with a ton of collectors edition boxes and a handful of figures. Not looking forward to that part of the move.
I don't blame you. I work for a moving company full time. Each job I'm on, I tell my crew if ANYONE reports to me about ANYTHING being stolen or I see anything being stolen, I will have them prosecuted to the full extent of the law. and that's if I don't break their bones first.
@@Xx1SailorScoutxX im a mover aswell ill break fingers for yah if they take anything.. i never understood why people think its a good idea to steal working for a moving company.. number 1 its not that difficult to figure out who did it or even notice it for that matter. number 2 you can make alot more money doing this then you can selling that ring you just stole.. if you get good enough theres no reason why you cant have $200 days as a good mover. ive planted easy targets for people just to see and caught maybe 2 people in 10 years so luckily around here people are normally good for their word. i also dont work for no fly by night company so our guys are all good. i agree 100% some of those cheaper companies who pay there guys pennies are the ones you should be looking out for. i dont need to steal when i get paid well and usually when you take care of your client they typically take care of you.. plus karma would smite me if i stole anything lol lets be real.. and if i gotta have a pep talk with my guys about theft then i probably have the wrong guys.. good help is hard to find brother..
It’s definitely like a game of Tetris. I’d say, as you’re moving around, monitor and picture where you’d want your furniture to set. Visualize how your setup would look and then proceed to arrange accordingly. Of course being neat and organized is no issue, as I’d be certain you’d want it that way yourself. But that’d be my suggestion. I wish I could do that for the house we currently live in.

Oh, natural light?!? - that’s good and healthy an all but sun is a COLOUR KILLER of box art dood!!!!
actually you should check out the 8-bit guy he did a video on this a while back, he has a retro computer room and he had to treat his windows and change out the lights because the plastic yellows from UV. it was quite interesting.
I still wish I had a bigger home to spread out my game collection more than I can. On the PSVR you missed one of the early titles that was really fun Eve: Valkyrie!
If there’s 3 rooms available, (and assuming that the collections are big enough to make this idea worth doing), I’d do one dedicated to retro, one to modern (PS2 or PS3-Switch), and one to the PC stuff. Also, I’d try to alphabetise them as they’re unpacked, so that it’s easier to manage I guess (also stacking them horizontally makes them easier to handle I’d say). Can’t wait for the finished product! :)
Had the same thought. Definitely, make the room with the fire place the modern game room. Also, alphabetizing can be a bit of a pain, but it makes everything easier in the long run. If I didn't have alphabetizing then I would easily loose track of what I own.
Three rooms? I'd make the largest the Game Room for hosting parties, the second largest a Museum for all the "do not touch" items, and the third room could be soundproofed and turned into a streaming studio.
I put all my old controllers in Ziploc bags to keep the dust off of them and avoid needing to twist the cords up, or worse yet, wrap a rubber band on them. They just go loose into the bag and then placed in a plastic bin. Each controller gets its own bag, cheap and effective.
I would recommend installing a security bar for that sliding door, so even if the lock is picked or pried the door won't be able to slide open. All that video game goodness behind a sliding door is a worrisome prospect in my eyes.
@@HeartzInk Well, it kind of stops the new people who try to break in...the Noobs. Personally, I cut a 2 X 3 just long enough to work perfect, and never had a problem....
That won't do much of anything(only block sliding it), if anyone were planning to really rob going through that sliding door... they would just smash it - as simple as that. What he needs is add something like this but with a better lock for security in front of the sliding doors: i.imgur.com/qauTYG9.jpg
When you get to your new home you should do a full play through of every game before you put it back on a shelf! You should be done sometime around 2043! :-D
streamline6666 Yea, I feel you. I don’t own a HUGE library of games like MJR, but I still have many retro consoles like the ColecoVision and up. I’m not getting rid of them anytime soon.
Agreed. I work for a moving company full time, and with some of the jobs I get thrown on, it makes me want to simplify even more, and I'm in an apartment!!
I like the way the white desk is facing away from the wall, it could make for good spot to record yourself reviewing a piece of hardware, software, etc, and want a close up, or with a chair next to it can be used to do interviews. Can't wait to see the house when you are all done putting things in their place.
ive thought about it but just can't. Even if its rarely used gotta love a fireplace. Hopefully he changes his mind and we see it in action in the background
Also since he lives in Seattle and it gets cold and snowy Jason should probably use that fireplace to laid back with his lady and drink hot cocoa and get warm.
@@jd-py5nm Personally, I see it as a big space saver putting the TV right in front of the fire place, but I see your point. Fire places are a nice source of heat especially on the really cold days.
@@russellhellyer4957 That is true. Also, it might cause some of his systems and games to darken or yellow. I know it happens with cigarette smoke at least.
11:00 Leave the big cube on that wall near the window (it's behind the sofa at 11:03), put the low cube under the window, put second big cube where the low cube was (fireplace wall). You don't want anything up to block the window, so the window is most of the lower height stuff.
Love the profile of the movers portion of the video. There’s nothing better than meeting people and learning they have a similar interest that’s not on the same level but you both have something to relate to. Good luck setting up.
thats actually the way we pack them too.. a vanline would of used paper sheets but for the most part thats how id pack a game room too.. it was oddly satisfying to watch someone who has no idea that there doing it right lol.. ive seen so many questionable pack jobs in my days as a mover.. its mind blowing how something so simple is soo beyond some people.. pack one of those boxes with the games flat instead o of vertical and watch the box be crushed on the other end.. then the shipper who packed their own boxes get mad at us for crushing the box.. sorry i have to fill the truck and not every box can be a top load.. if you care about your stuff and have no idea how to pack hire a moving company to do it for you or expect some damages... if its super fragile take a page from this video and take it with you.. of course id never say it like that to a customer but i mean come on you cant fix stupid. i cant tell you how many times ive seen "fragile" on a open untapped box with nothing but lose glass in it.. -.-
Something I noticed while you were moving. When the movers were moving stuff, I saw the 1st Zebra album! I'm a huge fan of Zebra! They're from New Orleans, La. I live an hour and 15 minutes from New Orleans. I'm in Mississippi. I grew up listening to Zebra! Love your videos! Great stuff!
I would set up the game room like this Room 1: All game storage, wall to wall filled with games. Room 2: Where you actually play the games, your TVs, monitors, consoles, etc. (Maybe where that mini bar thing was) Smaller room: For PC gaming where you have your old PC and monitor set up. Just an idea, because I don’t have as many games as you to set up 😭
If you’re looking for a great desk/work table consider mounting a kitchen countertop to a wall somewhere. It can be any length you need. There’s no legs or other obstructions underneath it because it’s bolted to the wall with big “L” brackets and the backsplash prevents anything from falling behind it. I’ve got an attractive, 10 foot long kitchen countertop bolted to the wall in my games room and it’s the best desk I’ve ever had. I used 3” Tapcon screws to bolt it to the concrete wall. It’s so strong you can even sit on it. Best of luck MJ. 👍🏼
They were being watched by the client AND they were being filmed. What else would they do? (I'd like to see hidden cams of some movers. Bet we'd see some good AND bad!)
Did I hear Amiga? 😁 i'd like to see a nice setup and some vid about that (or did I missed a video like that?😅) PD: that Gamecube kiosk is awesome, i love that machine.
I'll take your free boxes! :D I'm moving next year. I'm up in Canada though, so if you can just drive thousands of miles/kilometers to deliver them that would be much appreciated. Cheers! 😂
This is really awesome seeing a video of your move and the movers. Ive worked for a moving company myself for the past three years and really enjoy the customer interaction and basically getting paid to stay fit and work out. Haha I just started collecting about a year ago and i watch your videos all the time to get new ideas and content to play. What to look for and everything. Youre like a mentor for game collecting. My birth mom lives in tacoma Washington and i visit her sometimes. Id love to meet you when im out there!
My recommendation for layout would be: a room for consoles, and a room for retro computers (PC, Amiga, Commodore 64). Perhaps a third room / overflow for handhelds?
I love the layout of the new place and I can’t wait to see what you do with it! The first things that come to me as far as setting up I would say definitely tint those windows or get some blackout curtains so the light does damage any of your collectibles, I love the way you have the tv in front of the fireplace but if you haven’t already you should put a board or something over it to cut down on dust. That’s all I can think of right now but I hope everything is going smoothly with the move, I know what a pain it can be, especially with a large collection!
Of course, there is always option to leave some things in boxes and then open and take them into use when needed. I just realized after moving that it is good to have also working space.
I packed and moved recently and it was interesting the memories that come to mind when sorting through and packing your stuff. Its like reliving the past.
Man I would be super nervous about my collection being transported without me having it in site. I have always transported it myself while furniture travels separate. Just in case something breaks then it's all on me. Can't wait to see the completed project!
As someone with a large gaming collection myself and having moved into multiple rooms recently. I organised by the screens. I had 3 main setups, CRT TV, CRT Monitor, Modern Flatscreen TV. Then I divided all my setups, for example my Dreamcast, System 2x6 and Naomi 2 (last 2 are arcade systems if anyone is confused) went on the CRT Monitor, SNES/N64 generation stuff went on the CRT TV and PS3 gen onwards (with exception being Wii which I have on the CRT TV) going on the modern flatscreen. Don't forget to recalibrate your CRTs after the move.
never saw such great caring moving people wow they really were not only organized and fast but they took great care in how they loaded and unloaded everything from beginning to the new house
Congrats @ MetualJesusRocks I am so happy this worked out, ever since the water damage video, I was put on suspense mode on the future of the gameroom, this is def going to work out a lot better!
I would definitely advise making one of your rooms a Retro room, with computers and games from the 80's (like the C64, Amiga, old Big boxed PC games etc).
I pack my games the same way. Love your show, and the camradere between you and your friends! I moved from Seattle too, and I miss it so much. Good luck to you!
That fireplace is so sweeeet. Great idea puttin the tv in front of it, though. I think everything's gonna look great, when it's all unpacked. And that backyard looked awesome!!
Definitely put PC in the second room with all the Big Box PC stuff. It may also be an idea to put your personal less popular consoles for play back there if you don't have enough space for them all out in the main room. Try to keep the Kiosk and you arcade cabinet together if possible, they look nice together. Its hard for me to help with exact detailing because I'm not there but I believe in your ability to set it up well and look forward to seeing it.
I imagine he's like myself and many other gamers and has a 4k TV and consoles in his living room, then 1080p plasma, HD CRT, and an old SD CRT (or 3) in the "game room".
Great vid MJR, said to see you leave your old house, but excited to see what comes of the new game room. Ps loved the excitement on your dogs faces. Good luck!
Ive been watching this channel for about 4 years now and i wanna say thank you metal jesus for all you do. Im happy for your move and the new chapter in your life and the channel. Moving sucks i know but i know you will do a great job setting everything up. Good luck with everything bro take your time. Much respect to you and the crew.
Day before packing : I’l have to finish this game and this game Day after packing: 20 new title added to the playlist, feeling dizzy because you dont know where to start :p
Sweet little doggies you have,and a kitty :) It is always fun to explore,experiment and let yourself go.Maybe set a section for your old favorites and another for your newer loves and curiosities.
11:00 I would fill that window with soundproof insulation or something, and put a big poster, or take off the molding and put up plywood, and all at the same time.. somehow leaving the blinds there so it looks like a normal window from the outside. Congrats Metal Jesus!
My suggestion is long running wall mounted shelf’s. That way there is nothing resting on the floor. Creates more floor space making the room look bigger.
I love moving :-) Live in my current house for about 9 years now, and space is getting an issue since most of my games are packed because there is no space left.
We moved in May and it was nothing like your level in terms of my collection but it was enough to help me say that...I understand. There’s parts of moving that are a ton of fun but there’s a whole lot that is crazy stressful. Enjoy the reimagining in your new space!
You know when metal Jesus puts that hair back in a pony tail he means business
HAHAHAHAHA. So true! :)
I love the fast forward bit he keeps brushing his hair back every few seconds for like 30 minutes straight then just says fuck it
Loser McPooser 😂😂😂
Ita the equivalant of ash Ketchum turning his hat backwards

Man, I can’t wait to see how you display everything.
You never realize how much crap you have until you move. I've moved a number of times thinking I didn't have much stuff....boy was I wrong! So happy for you and the new chapter in your life!
I love the use of the word “crap” in there 😂
I moved twice last year, and that's so true!
Yeah, seriously.
NEW CHAPTER!!!
It will take me one trip move my stuff who knows how May for his stuff
Dam that’s crazy my pap is 80 and is having his 3rd hernia and the doctors say they can’t do anything for him if it bursts!! So please send some prayers!!
i cant imagine the look on their face when they saw all those boxes and you said "thats only about 50%"
Even a horror like moving is fun, peaceful and interesting with the Metal Jesus
Considering that you’re moving into a new house, maybe invest in some new shelving units that are all the same or similar color. Please don’t take my comment as being mean. I’m just a little OCD about a cohesive appearance and I think that would make your collection stand out even more. Always enjoy your videos.
Manuel Dunn - he could also paint them all white or something so they match without buying all new ones ✌️
Yes, uniformity makes a collection look so much more awesome.
Tech With Sean That’s a good option as well!
I agree id say go with black or dark wood/walnut shelving to give a contrast with the lighter colored walls. Also would match the dark couch. There are some sellers on ebay that make some amazing large video game related banners (up to 30 ft wide). Some of the ones I went with are Star Wars, TMNT, Back To The Future etc I have them all around the walls of my game room. Bigger pieces can make a cooler statement sometimes then a ton of smaller frames. Thats just my opinion youve got a lot of walls to decorate.
I agree. With millions of views he certainly has the UA-cam Ad Revenue to warrant making his setup much more professional looking. It will easily pay for itself rather quickly by improving the production quality. Time to get rid of the poor man's budget ikea shelves!
I used to admire the “if you haven’t used it in a year, you never will, and you should get rid of it” until I started pulling out and playing my retro systems lately with much joy
If I was one of the movers I would be less surprised by the epic game room and more surprised by the lack of snakes. Metal Jesus looks like a dude that most definitely owns at least one snake. XD
I don't know why this made me laugh
Just wanted to say those red tabs are really funny. I hope you can find a way to implement more of them into your videos.
Thanks! Those were fun to add to the video :)
As my best friend would say "I'd rather Sh!t a Pinecone Backwards, than move."
@C- Lab Yes!!!!! absolutely yes to this comment.
^ that's a real Donald Trump kinda thing to say lol
Truth....
I imagine its a mix of emotions! Best of luck with the new place man!
Props to the guys who moved all this. I hope all goes well in the new house Jason! Congrats on the Gamecube Kiosk!
I moved from Rhode Island to Florida in May 2019, those Home Depot boxes were so useful!
Rich Mello
Who lives in Rhode Island lol
RI its such a tiny state that by moving you left it deserted.
PAWTUCKET !!!!
"Want me to do more big box PC gaming videos on my channel?" Hell yes mah man!
Agreed! I'm like lots of people here, I started on PS2/Gameboy and really have no idea what people were playing on PC back then!
Bring on the classic PC games!

I can't imagine being a collector of that magnitude and having to move it all. Hope everything works out, cheers!
Sadly, this might be my reality in a year or two. I am planning to move out of my parents house and have over 900 games in my collection. Along with a ton of collectors edition boxes and a handful of figures. Not looking forward to that part of the move.
With a collection that large, I'd watch any movers like a hawk.
yup
As you should. Can't trust no one !
I don't blame you. I work for a moving company full time. Each job I'm on, I tell my crew if ANYONE reports to me about ANYTHING being stolen or I see anything being stolen, I will have them prosecuted to the full extent of the law. and that's if I don't break their bones first.

Most modern windows are UV treated, and you can buy reflective window tint to block even more UV.

I’ve said this a thousand times before (at least to myself), but you seem like a really chill dude. Reggie as well.
Congratulations on the new house! I’m tired just watching all the packing and moving.
I still wish I had a bigger home to spread out my game collection more than I can. On the PSVR you missed one of the early titles that was really fun Eve: Valkyrie!

I think organizing by system->Genre->Alphabetic it's the best solution for games.
And maybe the music collection would be spread along the different rooms. A few particular genres in each room.
Had the same thought. Definitely, make the room with the fire place the modern game room. Also, alphabetizing can be a bit of a pain, but it makes everything easier in the long run. If I didn't have alphabetizing then I would easily loose track of what I own.

Did I hear Amiga? 😁 i'd like to see a nice setup and some vid about that (or did I missed a video like that?😅) PD: that Gamecube kiosk is awesome, i love that machine.
SLD-SNaKe I agree a MJR Amiga video is needed!
Awesome, congratulations. Looking forward to seeing the video on your new setup.
I'll take your free boxes! :D I'm moving next year. I'm up in Canada though, so if you can just drive thousands of miles/kilometers to deliver them that would be much appreciated. Cheers! 😂
This is really awesome seeing a video of your move and the movers. Ive worked for a moving company myself for the past three years and really enjoy the customer interaction and basically getting paid to stay fit and work out. Haha
I just started collecting about a year ago and i watch your videos all the time to get new ideas and content to play. What to look for and everything. Youre like a mentor for game collecting. My birth mom lives in tacoma Washington and i visit her sometimes. Id love to meet you when im out there!
It's gotta be so exciting to plan out and set up the new room!
What the 21 hours ago?
Look forward to updates& seeing the crew together. Near & far y'all rock & good fortune to all.
My recommendation for layout would be: a room for consoles, and a room for retro computers (PC, Amiga, Commodore 64). Perhaps a third room / overflow for handhelds?
I love the layout of the new place and I can’t wait to see what you do with it!
The first things that come to me as far as setting up I would say definitely tint those windows or get some blackout curtains so the light does damage any of your collectibles, I love the way you have the tv in front of the fireplace but if you haven’t already you should put a board or something over it to cut down on dust. That’s all I can think of right now but I hope everything is going smoothly with the move, I know what a pain it can be, especially with a large collection!
3:44 Reggie: "OMG Jesus" that was funny ! 😁
Of course, there is always option to leave some things in boxes and then open and take them into use when needed. I just realized after moving that it is good to have also working space.
MJ may the force be with you my friend. Those boxes OMG!!! Legendary~
Moving a few times lead me to sell most of my collection. True story. I was painful aware that game hoarding is a sickness.
Theme each room. By decade. 80’ 90’ 2000’s.
I like that idea. Maybe they could decorate each room in the style of that decade too.
Problem with this idea is that the 2000s room will never cease growing XD
That's a pretty good idea actually.
I packed and moved recently and it was interesting the memories that come to mind when sorting through and packing your stuff. Its like reliving the past.
This was so short, I could watch this for hours. And that Gamecube kiosk just for beer. So jealous :D
Congratulations dude!! How exciting!!! I just moved in and still working on my game room/ theater
Man I would be super nervous about my collection being transported without me having it in site. I have always transported it myself while furniture travels separate. Just in case something breaks then it's all on me.
Can't wait to see the completed project!
I always lose some games etc whenever I move, no idea what happens to them lol
Super Nicktendo insurance. I have a lot of very valuable items. I usually pay about 3-4 K for full coverage insurance. Not worth it other wise.
Yeah most likely the movers will pilfer your stuff if you're not on site seeing your belongings while moving.
@@Thollis1987 stuff falling off the truck is a big concern
As someone with a large gaming collection myself and having moved into multiple rooms recently.
I organised by the screens. I had 3 main setups, CRT TV, CRT Monitor, Modern Flatscreen TV. Then I divided all my setups, for example my Dreamcast, System 2x6 and Naomi 2 (last 2 are arcade systems if anyone is confused) went on the CRT Monitor, SNES/N64 generation stuff went on the CRT TV and PS3 gen onwards (with exception being Wii which I have on the CRT TV) going on the modern flatscreen.
Don't forget to recalibrate your CRTs after the move.
You better throw these movers a party when you are setup with all the stuff.
Lol
@Jp111 I know that, those guys probably want to se the fill collection setup and not in boxes.
never saw such great caring moving people wow they really were not only organized and fast but they took great care in how they loaded and unloaded everything from beginning to the new house

Lmaooo
Well, he does live in Seattle...
@@SEGAHEADDY i lived there for 6 months when i was 16 and the coffee is on a whole other level. Coffee in Seattle is like cheese in Wisconsin
@@djphildeez6357 Right, I lived in Seattle for over a decade and experienced the coffee craze, and I'm not even a coffee drinker.

Congratulations on your new home. Looking forward to seeing the new game room up and running. 👍🏽
When my wife and I eventually buy a home, I seriously want one with a fireplace in the basement like that. That's the neatest thing ever!
Congratulations on the new house and I look forward to the next update video because I’m also in the process of moving
I wouldnt wish the moving from house to house process on my worst enemy! Good luck buddy!!
Congrats @ MetualJesusRocks I am so happy this worked out, ever since the water damage video, I was put on suspense mode on the future of the gameroom, this is def going to work out a lot better!
That overtake at 7:52 is just begging for an accident.
I would definitely advise making one of your rooms a Retro room, with computers and games from the 80's (like the C64, Amiga, old Big boxed PC games etc).

I pack my games the same way. Love your show, and the camradere between you and your friends! I moved from Seattle too, and I miss it so much. Good luck to you!
Room one: Current Gen. Room two: Retro Den. Room three: Merch Museum
Great idea!
That fireplace is so sweeeet. Great idea puttin the tv in front of it, though. I think everything's gonna look great, when it's all unpacked. And that backyard looked awesome!!
Definitely put PC in the second room with all the Big Box PC stuff. It may also be an idea to put your personal less popular consoles for play back there if you don't have enough space for them all out in the main room. Try to keep the Kiosk and you arcade cabinet together if possible, they look nice together. Its hard for me to help with exact detailing because I'm not there but I believe in your ability to set it up well and look forward to seeing it.
Nice to see so much natural light in the new place with all the windows and the patio door.
My dear friend, it's almost 2020. I think 4K is EXTREMELY overdue.
Happy holidays.
I imagine he's like myself and many other gamers and has a 4k TV and consoles in his living room, then 1080p plasma, HD CRT, and an old SD CRT (or 3) in the "game room".
I mean the resolution of this video. It looks HORRIBLE on my 4K oled.
Congratulations for your new home. May you and your loved ones have a great time there :D

That's really good you sound just like him
@@Beelzebub-kj7nw oh thank you, ive been practicing for a while. Im almost as good as Azerrz. :)
Great vid MJR, said to see you leave your old house, but excited to see what comes of the new game room. Ps loved the excitement on your dogs faces. Good luck!

Closing timeee
Ive been watching this channel for about 4 years now and i wanna say thank you metal jesus for all you do. Im happy for your move and the new chapter in your life and the channel. Moving sucks i know but i know you will do a great job setting everything up. Good luck with everything bro take your time. Much respect to you and the crew.
Day before packing : I’l have to finish this game and this game
Day after packing: 20 new title added to the playlist, feeling dizzy because you dont know where to start :p
Sweet little doggies you have,and a kitty :) It is always fun to explore,experiment and let yourself go.Maybe set a section for your old favorites and another for your newer loves and curiosities.
Cat: "I'm freaking out...so many boxes!" :)
When he's all unpacked he should make a giant fort.
House looks great and wish you a lot of happiness there and I look forward to seeing new videos coming from your new game room 👍👍👍👍
“Weird Al” Yankovic: living with a hernia.
My buddy at work has Weird Al on his personal playlist. Living with a hernia played last night LOL!!!
😂
Metal Jesus your new place looks rad looking forward to seeing your game room all set up. Love your channel keep up the good work.
Damn! You’re fast MetalJesus! 🤣
11:00 I would fill that window with soundproof insulation or something, and put a big poster, or take off the molding and put up plywood, and all at the same time.. somehow leaving the blinds there so it looks like a normal window from the outside. Congrats Metal Jesus!
My suggestion is long running wall mounted shelf’s. That way there is nothing resting on the floor. Creates more floor space making the room look bigger.
I love moving :-) Live in my current house for about 9 years now, and space is getting an issue since most of my games are packed because there is no space left.
7:41 LMFAO that was so random hahahahaha
We moved in May and it was nothing like your level in terms of my collection but it was enough to help me say that...I understand. There’s parts of moving that are a ton of fun but there’s a whole lot that is crazy stressful. Enjoy the reimagining in your new space!
