I'm sure it's hot for everyone else. I'm trying to play some games in my room but as I said before its hot. We don't have an air conditioner and the fan just aint doing it, so I thought Ill ask you duders. How do you guys keep a room cold? Right now Im waiting for some water I put in a milk gallon to freeze. I saw online that if you do that, cut the plastic off, and then place the huge hunk of ice in a metal bowl in front of a fan, it's suppose to be a makeshift air conditioner. What methods do you guys have? Edit: Im testing it out! Edit 2: Upgraded design!
It's hot!
Keep your curtains closed, keeping the sun out will do a lot to help your room/house not heat up in the first place.
Honestly, drinking cold water is enough to the trick for me, but maybe that's because I've been conditioned to withstand the torture of it being hot as hell at night after summers of nothing but gaming without air condition late at night.
I spent the money on an air conditioner, a small portable one that only has a tube that leads to the window so that the HOA doesn't get on my ass about a big ugly window air conditioner.
After years and years of sweating in a room with a gaming PC and a console and a very large TV, it was waaay worth the money.

Same.
Our air conditioner actually did break a few weeks ago, but we've got window units here and there. As long as we keep the doors shut that don't have a window unit in them, the house stays relatively cool.
The noise pollution, however, is a very different matter.
Also, keep the curtains and blinds shut, drink lots of cold water, and take a few quick cold showers every now and then. You oughta be fine. Also, make good friends with someone who owns an AC unit.

You and me both. I great until I have to leave my room to go to the bathroom.
Go soak ya head, kid!...No seriously, get your hair wet, that'll really help. Other than that, make sure at least one fan is near the window, it helps circulate the air.
Take off all of your clothes. No, seriously, take off all o-
You already did that? Pics or it didn't happen.
Yeah, I don't know dude, buy a cheap window unit AC? That's how most people do it.

I know, this summer it was like 110 up here (my bedroom/computer room is on the 2nd floor, it's pretty toasty.
Oh shit you're on the second floor too? Yeah man, I remember before I had it installed I had to fight with my parents about the house AC. Being in Fl, every day just felt like a sauna in my room.
It's 110 in Tucson today. I got a swamp cooler but it's humid enough that it might as well not even be on, I don't even want to imagine what it would be like without my fan. I've tried that ice block thing but I didn't find it made a noticeable difference. Hopefully it's different for you. My only recommendation is turning off as many electronics as you can.

This. I have had mine set to 64 for the last two weeks, feels so nice.

Woooow, I had not thought to do that. =o
Yup, it's pretty hot over here in SoCal. Right now I just have a fan blowing and a big glass of iced water. Good time to tan I guess but... gosh, not today.
With the heat and rampant wildfires Colorado has felt like hell lately, luckily we got some monsoon type weather over the weekend. Normally i use a AC that looks like a droid from star wars that has a hose that goes out the window, makes it like 65 in my small bedroom.
