About The Living Room Loadout

Hey, I’m Andy—and I started The Living Room Loadout because, frankly, couch PC gaming doesn’t get the love it deserves.

We’re not building battlestations here—we’re building living room-ready rigs that play nice with your TV, your controller, and your real life.

This blog is part of Andy’s Adventure Co., and it’s all about helping you dodge the landmines, solve the weird problems, and make smart choices when gaming from the comfort of your couch.

I’ve been gaming as long as I can remember—Duck Hunt on the NES, Frogger on the Apple II (yes, I’m aging myself, it’s fine 😂). These days, I’m just as likely to be modding old games or firing up an emulator as I am diving into a new release. It’s all part of the journey.

What You’ll Find Here

• Beginner-Friendly Fixes – Easy-to-follow guides for taming the quirks of couch gaming.
• Deep Dives & Hacks – EDID overrides, shell replacements, HDMI voodoo—you name it.
• Game Reviews – Focused on comfort, fun, and how well they actually play from 10 feet away.
• Hardware Talk – Gear that won’t break the bank or your back when it falls behind the entertainment center.
• Personal Stuff – Nostalgia bombs, parenting wins (and fails), and what games really mean to me.
• The Occasional Curse Word – Because this stuff gets really f*&@!# frustrating sometimes. You’ll laugh, I’ll cry, it’ll be great.

Why It Matters

Most of us just want to sit down, hit "play," and not spend three hours Googling why our display is locked at 30Hz. I’m here to help you skip the tech headaches and get straight to the gaming—whether you're new to this or just looking to level up.

Let's Play

Whether you’re a longtime gamer or just setting up your first living room build, I’m glad you’re here. This is the start of something awesome—and I’m stoked to have you along for the ride.
