While I know this isn't the home improvement forum, I felt the need to ask a set of gamers who've gone through what I am going through. I have an awqwardly shaped room(Ill post pics within a few minutes), and and dying to fix it up; as in changing finding a way to hide the cable clutter, set up my ps3 and pc so that I may play in a comfortable manner, etc. Any tips on anything at all that could help me?

EDIT **bunk bed is being removed. had family over which is why it is up.

Your right it is an awkward room, either that or it is too small. I'd start from scratch, align the bed to the longest wall and work around it.

That worked for me, also aim to have the ps3 and tv as the center piece out of sunlight of course.

So what do 18-21 yr olds in the US actually do at the weekends. In England we just get drunk all weekend, and play Pro Evo when we are hung over!! What about at college, the best bit is getting drunk and taking advantage of the ladies!!

if you live in the us go to lows or home depot and have them cut a board the exact size as your top bunck bed. than you can create a game station on the top bunck bed. my son has the same exact bed and on the top i put all his castles and stuff. this way you can put nick nacks on the book case.

lol put away the santa clauses and the teddy bears. if your 19 im sure yor friends are wondering why on earth.

i hide cable clutter behind things,persasy if u have ur tv set up somewhere,use that book shelf thing and run the cord behind it. So try to set up the room in a way that those things are together.The dress drawer can stay there and bed is fine.next time take a picture from the entrance of the room so that we could see more or less the space u have to work with.

I have no problem finding it, though I see it as rather pathetic to drink alone let alone lose control of myself to liquor.

I agree, I don't understand gamers drinking alone, especially taking drugs on their own, what the hell is that about?
At the weekend me (17) and my friends go to the pub, drinking makes us more sociable but you've got to be pretty sad to be drinking home alone, so you can what? Become more sociable with people you talk to online? Lame.
I hate drugs myself, never done them never will, my some of my friends take, and it's also something reserved for parties and social events.

my PS2 in my room (PS3 is in living room) is inside my closet with a small TV. It's really cool because I barely use my closet, so I fit a TV and PS2 inside, and it saves space and looks cool because you can open up your closet doors to your TV. Somehow, I fit a bed, desk, computer, TV (with cable), a PS2, bookshelf, and guitar all inside my room, which also happens to be a really small room.

Try playing some tetris. No really, it helps you with fitting stuff and organizing things in real life ;)

I'm 18 and live in California. I have a fridge full of beer and a counter filled with bottles of hard liquor. It's not that hard to get alcohol...
