Ear Force

 

If you’re like me, you find yourself gaming all hours of the night. Whether you still live in your parent’s basement, or have a wife and kid, there are times you are just forced to play quietly. We all know that turning down the sound totally takes away from the whole gaming experience. That’s why I suggest trying the Ear Force X41 Digital RF Wireless Game Audio+ Chat with Dolby 7.1 Surround Sound.

Although the micophone isn’t the greatest, just like others on the market, the headphones make up for any shortcomings that would keep you from making the purchase. These headphones allow you to have the ultimate gaming experience without the rest of the neighborhood having to join in for the festivities.

These headphones are man cave, and wife, approved.

Check out the video review below!

Wii

 

The Wii takes a lot of flack for not being a hard core gaming machine. People should realize that the Wii isn’t trying to compete with the PS3 or Xbox…it’s a whole different gaming experience. The Wii is great when groups of people, guys and girls, need some entertainment. It’s easy to make drinking games out of the bowling, or relive your childhood days on the playground at school. The group of accessories are not comparable to any other system. How can you not love a system that allows you to fight with real light sabors, steer a wheel of a racecar, or swing a racquet? This is a must have system for those of you who have a man cave that also doubles as a family room–anyone of any age can find a game they like for the Wii.

 
Microsoft Store

xbox-natal-pr-1

 

The Xbox 360 beat all other systems to the next gen punch. That head start really shows. They have some great games and the Halo franchise is one of my favorites. The system also has some great innovations on the horizon in Project Natal. Project Natal could change the way we play games all together, but we have heard that before. It would allow the user to play with no controller and all motions are controlled by your body. I also feel that while beating all other competition to the market, they may have skipped out on the quality of the system. The dreaded red ring of death has claimed my first xbox.

Every time I turn my new one on I still wonder if this is the time it happens again. I have been a subscriber of live since week one over six years ago. The $50 price for a year subscription is a small price. It allows me to play online with my friends, voice and video chat, download tv show, movies and even stream Netflix®. The system is starting to show it age and the ps3 is starting to get some momentum and might even over take the 360. But with the Xbox 360’s new price drop the battle is on. In closing the Xbox 360 is a sure bet for any Man Cave.

ps3-slim

     Believe it or not I am still asked this question. Since its release my answer has always been “yes”. With the new price drop , new restyling and some great games as of late there is no reason not to have one.  For any guy or gal that’s into sports games, this is without a doubt the right system for you. MLB The Show is the best baseball game I have played in the past few years. The PS3 also offers other awesome exclusive titles along with a vast selection of movies to rent or buy.

      The Blu-Ray player is outstanding; the PlayStation store has really come on as of late and with constant updates it keeps the system fresh and enjoyable.  The system has come along way since it was released and it keeps getting better. Who cares if you have a xbox…you can enjoy both. For a quick comparison of the new PS3 slim AKA “PS3 120 GB” hit the read link…

 E1000

     Gaming chairs have come a long way since the wedge shaped chair that was used in the days of Nintendo. The E1000 Gaming Chair by Repose is, in my opinion, the best gaming chair out there. This thing has built in 2.1 sound system jacks to plug in an mp3 player, a jack for headphones, and even a swing out cup holder. You can even hook another chair up to yours so you can share in the sound. Now, I love my simple 5.1 surround system but the sound that comes from this chair is so crisp and clear that you swear it’s not just a 2.1 system.

The comfort of this chair is top notch. The manufacturer of this chair also makes top of the line massage chairs, and believe me, when the sub starts going this becomes a massage chair.  It gives you the ability to fold it up for storage, but why do that? You can get it in a few different colors and it looks good in any man cave. With a $450 dollar price tag it is a bit steep but there are no regrets or buyer’s remorse with this chair.

Man Cave VS!

 

So the age long dilemna in every Man Cave has been Foosball table or Pool table (don’t get us started on darts, thats a whole different post!)? Well for the purpose of this exciting little foray into the man cave psychy let’s talk pros and cons! First you should learn about the history of both sports.

To find out the history behind Foosball check out The history of Foosball over at www.foosball.com. Then to learn a little more about Pool why don’t you head over to Pool and Billiards history over at www.poolhistory.com. Now that you’ve read the exciting history of the two sports we can summarize them both in one word, and that one word is “Awesome”!

Now to make any major decisions you have to ask yourself a few simple questions like

  1. How much room does my Man Cave Have?
  2. Is my Man Cave inside a frat house, and if so is the said table going to be used for beer pong tournaments as well? (Very important question!)
  3. Do my friends mind the one wall that will make almost any shot impossible?
  4. Do I need ample room (on said table) to sit my beer and cigarettes while I play a game?

Based on your answers to these four basic questions you should have a clear idea of what form of table fits your Man Cave the best. Now if you still need a little more info to help you choose what table is best for your Man Cave, leave us some comments and we’ll be sure to help you out!

By the way since this is about what you should or could have in your Man Cave so here are a couple of the higher end tables just to get you drooling!! Enjoy!
