I thought I’d seen some pretty pimp setups until we caught a glimpse of this guy’s place. Featuring 35 amplifiers, 37 speakers, and a wealth of sources and processing devices, the room you see here looks more like a meeting of the Magi in Evangelion than it does a home theater.

As the findings of the Byron Report are due to be made known in the UK, it is now highly expected that Gordon Brown will introduce a cinema-style rating for all videogames.
