    As an alternative to friend, you can get a kid but it takes a handful of years until they are ready to play and cost 10s of thousands of dollars every year for maintenance.

      yeah that one is good, but ROI isn't up my alley

      Great idea, but because of supply chain issues we had to wait 9 months for delivery.

      Not only that, but when they graduate and move into your basement you might lose your game room.

    Not sure about the last one. Seems pretty expensive for so little return. You even have to feed them! Like Agricola workers. Or pet puppies.

    After seeing you recommend aperture lights, I for sure knew this was a bit. Which goes to show you I did think about using pelican cases.....oh man, I gotta be careful if I'm comfortable justifying splurging on a 400 dollar case for board games.

    Lol this started off pretty believable and the laptop stand is a great idea. Even the pelican boxes sounded good. I imagined having them in the back of my truck as a board game storage option.
    But about lights, this is easily the easiest upgrade everyone can do to their homes. Everyone should get those LED bulbs. I have them in all my place, even the kitchen stove! Lol. They are 5000 color temperature super bright lights. Lights up the whole room.

      what led bulbs/strips do you use? I am looking for lighting options and 1000 is prohibitively expensive. I live in an apartment so not many over head options that are also convenient.

    That last one was a bit painfull - for the both of us ...
    #3 is one I would recommend for a lot of people, but I do think a budget solution from a certain nordic furniture chain would suffice for most people :)

    Are Pelican cases good for long term garage storage of games? I'm thinking humidity issues that slowly warp boxes.

  • @drew8235

    Can confirm that the only time I feel safe is when I'm hiding inside my pelican case. Would definitely keep your board games safe.

    The Pelican cases are awesome, but expensive. BUT if you get the right size, you can use them for your airline carry on too. I bought mine for photography equipment. It even has a specific padded spot for a laptop and accessories. Well worth the money. They are supposed to survive an airplane crash. So my kids don't need to worry. If I'm in a plane that goes down, they still inherit my camera gear and laptop!

    Which Pelican case model do I get to store friends?

    • @Shelfside
      @Shelfside  ปีที่แล้ว

      the 1650 is pretty good for short people! -Ashton

  • @the.nikkoman

    Can i also put little kids inside the boardgame cases? Asking for a friend.

    Okay, looks like a joke not a secret.
    1. you can take the ikea tables. There are many different small tables for snack etc coat point less then 60$
    2. Boardgame backpack? costs the half of your boxes
    3. Light? okay but you want indirect light no spotlights. ceiling floodlights are a good solution if you don't want to install a better light permanent on your room.
    4. This is a good secret. I never heard of playing with other people. I only play solo. lol

    I need those cases for protecting my games. It's a cool solution, especially during rocket attacks. Hello from Ukraine and thanks for interesting video!

    Is this comedy? Pelican cases? LOL 😂 Well it was entertaining.

    the pelican cases would be great for long term game storage.

    • @Shelfside
      @Shelfside  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Great video. You had me going until the end when I finally caught on that this was a goof. Well played!

  • @kirkwagner461
    @kirkwagner461 ปีที่แล้ว

    You have two friends? No one can afford that. You had to have taken one, or even both, from friend providing sponsors in return for giving friends a good review. You sell out!

  • @gildragon

    alternative to a laptop stand, and arguably easier to fined: Music stand.

    My old job had a lot of Pelican Cases that needed hauling across the country. Fun times.

    I just bought Ankh for black friday.
    Do you guys still hate it like your original review?

    • @Shelfside
      @Shelfside  ปีที่แล้ว

      Wouldn't say I hate it, I just think it has some big issues that lean me away from it. Some of my friends on the other hand REALLY dislike it ahaha. -Ashton

  • @jknifgijdfui
    @jknifgijdfui ปีที่แล้ว

    outside the last one i cant tell if this is satire or not especially since the laptop stand doesn't seem too bad besides the price also i like the crack den vibe and would easily pay a grand to keep it

    • @Shelfside
      @Shelfside  ปีที่แล้ว

      laptop stand is pretty good! -Ashton

  • @Tjorriemorrie

    I like the Frosthaven flex 😄

    • @Shelfside

      it really flexes my muscles to move it around :3 -Ashton

  • @micktheant
    @micktheant ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Why did you show us real guns at 2:51 for no reason? Especially without any context, honestly scared me a bit. Please confirm this isn’t foreshadowing something… I don’t understand why that shot was in your video.

      @IPutSpidersOnYou ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Because that's a nice looking revolver!
      Context is likely that Pelican cases are quite popular storage among gun owners.

    • @JTtopcat
      @JTtopcat ปีที่แล้ว

      Cause it's funny that war of the ring is more important to store then a gun.

    • @ashtonwu7760
      @ashtonwu7760 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I was very 50/50 on including that shot. Yep pelicans are really popular among gun owners. We only have prop guns here (like the tiny text says). Just meant to poke a little fun!

  • @maumastoks
    @maumastoks ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Regarding light -> I purchased for TI4 mainly but also been using at friends places where light is dim. Nanlite LumiPad 25. Comes in at ~$120, plus you'll need to buy either a studio light tripod or use an existing tripod with 1/4" - 3/8" screw adapter (~$5). This thing is really powerful and can adjust the light colour (from warm to cool). You can also buy external batteries if you want it to be battery-powered but no need really.
    So your suggestion ~$1000 bulky -> ~$150-200 (depends what tripod you want) small and light.

    • @Shelfside
      @Shelfside  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That one will work great! Actually we recently just bought Amaran 60s (~$160) and they have insane output for their size and weight! We put them on cheap light stands no problemo.
      LEDs are so good nowadays that if you don't mind build quality and CRI too much, you can get some great deals. -Ashton
