Here's what happens when serious nerds outfit a home theater
Show Us Yours: Comic book art prints, multiple game consoles, thousands of movies and homemade Super Mario Bros. Boo lamp art. Yep, Mat and Evanna are massive nerds, and proud of it.

This installment of Show Us Yours comes to us courtesy of Mat and Evanna, who hail from Portland, Oregon. Mat describes their showcase as "our nerd-themed living room."
Mat says the couches are custom-made. The green one faces the TV and the blue one spins, which helps optimize viewing angles. Getting the best angle to watch Pee-Wee Herman is pretty nerdy.
The home-theater setup features a 55-inch Vizio TV, a sound bar system with a subwoofer, a Nintendo Wii U, a Sony PlayStation 4 and a Microsoft Xbox One. Mat is contemplating a Nintendo Switch to replace the Wii U.
That's an animal barrier gate at the bottom.
Most of the comic-themed art was picked up from discount stores, Mat says. There's a Chewbacca wood print along with Catwoman, Batman, The Incredible Hulk, Spider-Man, the Avengers Assemble cartoon and Wonder Woman. The Catwoman, Batman and Wonder Woman art are reprints of popular issues of their respective comic books.
Spock, a Corgi, has a Star Wars-themed leash. That doesn't seem quite right.
They have a second dog, Starbuck, as well as a cat named Butters. You get the idea.
The couple's video game collection features a mixture of backwards-compatible PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One and Wii U titles. There's a big focus on the Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Kingdom Hearts and Assassin's Creed series.

A wider shot of more geek artwork on the back wall. Of note are Darth Vader and PBR2-D2 prints, two mock Renaissance art portraits of Spock and Ellen Ripley with the Xenomorph in tow, a skeleton trio of "red shirts" from Star Trek, and a large, somewhat abstract Yoda piece. Most of these were picked up either through Etsy or at the Rose City Comic Con in Portland.
This is a side view of their "precious movie and TV show collection."
There's everything from the Shogun miniseries to the complete Marx Brothers film library.
This 55-inch Vizio E550i-B2 is a 1080p TV from 2014. Although this picture isn't great, for the price it offers good image quality and colors. Mat bought it after a 50-inch Toshiba plasma HDTV died a few years ago.

This shelf has more box sets and some knick knacks. At the bottom are space-hogging box sets of "Roots: The Complete Collection" and the "Bond 50: 22 Film Collection." (It includes the whole James Bond series up through "Quantum of Solace," but doesn't include the original "Casino Royale" or "Never Say Never.")
"The bottom two shelves have large box sets and a mixture of Evanna's old DVD collection," says Mat. There's a mix of comedy, science fiction and fantasy genres. Of special note are the massive "Babylon 5" TV set and a bootleg disc of the live-action Japanese "Sailor Moon" series.
Video game themed art around the windows. There are two small replicas of arcade marquees for Ninja Gaiden and Donkey Kong. "In the middle are Pac-Man themed retro video game pixel art pieces my wife and I made with Perler beads," Mat says.
The top two shelves feature action, comedy and a hell of a lot of horror movies. Part of the reason Mat has so many films is because he hosts a movie podcast called Sequelcast 2.
Evanna made another Super Mario Bros. Boo ghost-themed lamp. Next to it are framed vintage issues of the "Star Trek: The Next Generation" comics. Catty-corner to that are five framed prints of the limited-edition lithographs Target sold as a pack-in with from the 2011 Blu-ray release of Star Wars Episodes I-VI.
This is the subwoofer for their Sony HT-CT150 sound bar. It's a few years old, but Mat says it packs a mighty punch.

Butters, enjoying the warmth of a laptop, says thanks for taking a look at this installment of Show Us Yours. If you're interested in seeing more showcase, we have plenty more to check out here.
