It's coming closer every second... 8 more days till the
euroNARP starts... This post is to give you a sneak peak at the first area ( that was completed yesterday ). But before I show you the pictures, I first gotta explain the concept a bit.
"Teh Lair²" was a culmination of my passion for blacklights and gaming back in the days when I just 'started' it. This still rings true today. "Teh Lair²" has 3 stages.
The 'normal' stage
The 'normal' stage, which can be described as the stage you would use to show it to anybody that is not a gamer, parents, girlfriends etc etc... This stage is quite basic, you've got the regular lighting and it just shows the place as having loads of stuff on the walls, a really busy gaming place.
The 'Dark' stage
The 'Dark' stage, is a state of teh lair that has been designed to enable smooth gameplay, without any disturbing glare. Yet it is still 'light' enough to enable the doing of other things, like rolling stuff. The lights are all turned of for this except for the blacklights, giving you a slight preamble of the next stage, and in fact also serves as the best 'charging state' for the next stage.
The 'Wireframe' stage
I loved Tron, I simply loved that movie, and the design for this stage was loosely based upon the premise of that movie, what if you could get into a game? how would it feel to move around in absolute nothingness, only seeing the wireframes? Well this stage will show it to you and make you experience reality in a way you've never experienced it before.
So now I'll show you "Teh Lair²" as it is now, ready for the euroNARP :-)
I'll show you a few different angles, each time in the 3 stages of "teh Lair²" so you get a good idea of what awaits you here :-)
Saloon
Gamecabinet
please note that I've only barely scratched the surface in the unloading of my consoles/games.
The Consoles
atm just the most popular ones :-)
Racing Seat
I'm just a poor guy, so I built my own racing seat :-) ( seat itself is from one of my brother's old cars :-) )
So I hope you all liked this little view into 'my little world' and hope to see lots of you guys at the euronarp :-)

O.O
That is very cool.
LOL..i'm totally ripping this from you and doing it in my new house..whenever i get one
I'm impressed
Painful to read, even more painful to view. That's motivation that is.
Jawsome!
Nice work man, it blows i cant make this seeing as im based in Ireland and all.
I have a fetish for anything that glows in the dark, so you get +5 woohoo. but I'm afraid I'd trip over something or stab my eye on one of the many fishing lures hanging from the ceiling.
Wow that is incredibly awesome!
Although awesome, I can tell that room smells like a giant pit of incense and hippy.
Wireframe mode is fucking sweet.
@all
thanks for the great comments
@free touch
yeah the incense-thingy is true, but its mostly to cover up 'other' hippie-smells :-)
@Kryptinite
well if you're in Europe, I might be able to help you with that then when you get your own house :-)
@Demios
with ryan air you could go for as little as Ryanair (89,98 + 77,27tax) 167,25 EUR, direct flight going and return :-)
@Krahsh
nah, the stars and all that are all way above head-height, so unless you start jumping around, you're pretty safe :-)
WIRE FRAME!
Your room is Geometry Wars too might i add.
Sucks that the room smells like hippies. It looks cool though.
Sucks that the room smells like hippies.
but its the good smells ;-) from plants and all that :-)
That looks awesome :)
Woah, glorious
Mistic, if the gaming session involves rockband and alcohol in any form I can pretty much guarantee an injury would be sustained, ocular or not.
Your room is Tron world. I'm jealous.
What are those things hanging from the ceiling? Are you a serial killer?
cool room though.
It would feel great to be high in your room.
It seems like you've been putting a shitload of work into this, so I'm glad it's paying off. I'm super jealous of your wireframe lair.
How did you get the glow in the dark edges? Paint? Cause the "Normal Stages" pictures have nothing on them that would make them glow in the dark.
@KRAHSH
yeah that's why the guitar hero-room will be somewhere else :-)
@Vlambo
yes it is a special paint, almost invisible in the plain light :-)
@char
yeah i have put a load of time in it :) but now i can enjoy the fruits of my labour :)
@jack
yeah i know ;-)
Looking great, way to go man! Sucks that I can't be there, I'll be following the event from your blog :)
keep up the good work!
That looks so dope, I can't wait to be there. :D
