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

Cross-subscribed (you subscribed to my basement room delete thread).

We've decided that the pool table would kill our newly found space.  Much like the home theater, it would dedicate it for something that may or may not get play.  So, I'll be doing more of an arcadey thing.  But, my room isn't square...it's narrow and long.  hmmmm there's got to be a joke in there somewhere.

Anywho, excited for you!  Watching with pregnant anticipation.

Yeah it's pretty exciting, although I have to be careful not to get too wrapped up in it as we're still a few weeks out from the end of escrow and there's just too much to do at the moment.

Hopefully we will get the space extended, which is the plan already, I just didn't want to have my ideas dependent on that happening, bigger is always easier to design for in these circumstances.

One thing I have been thinking about is a folding wall between the theater and other areas, so I could completely open it up for social events and close it off when I want to do a more dedicated theater experience.

Cool idea. Sounds difficult to pull off at the same time. I'm guessing you'd have to consider acoustics and all that stuff in your wall selection.

Maximus:

Yeah but there's different levels of finish of course. You can go fully isolated twin wall, floating room with green goo and all that jazz or just go for some nice soft absorbing panels, decently mounted speakers and a microwave for popcorn. I think as long as the theater room can provide a sense of that 'special' place for movies then it will be good enough for us. At the end of the day I'm not going to be spending $20k+ on my sound system so it doesn't need to be all crazy beans.

Maximus:

Finally got some real measurements and the garage is a little smaller than I thought, it's 20ft wide by 22ft long, so not too far off, but every foot counts, at least I know what I am dealing with now I guess.
