New house and dedicated Arcade/Bar/Theater on the way

Pretty cool project, looks like a fun room to be in.
I like how the tv is open for casual watching and whatnot while playing. have you thought about maybe installing some sort of slideable (track?) panels that could effectively close off the theater section for more private watching to try to eliminate the background noise when you want? This may or may not be a concern, but if a kid is playing pinball while I was trying to watch a movie it might drive me crazy. Might be pretty cool.

Maybe I'm mistaken, but I'm pretty sure Griff is envisioning this as an either/or room. Either we're watching Beaches or we're playing Ikari Warriors, but not both at the same time. Or if the TV and vids are on, so is a soccer match so sound really doesn't matter.

I was in the same boat when I had my games in the family room. My solution was to move all the TV stuff out of the family room. :cheers:

I don't know that I could do panels as such, but i did play with the idea of heavy floor-to-ceiling black curtains that I could pull out that would cover up all the cabinets, just leaving the walkways, bar and movie area. It would be more of an aesthetic thing making it nice and 'grown up' looking for movie and drinks evenings.
