Looks nice. I am going to put some of that brick in my game room, at least 1 wall. I really like the one you used, you can get it at menards in different colors.
 
That looks great. You may have already done this, but when I put similar panels in my gameroom, I used flat black spray paint to paint a line from floor to ceiling where each panel joined, that way if there were even the slightest gap, it would be black underneath. It really makes the seams less noticable.
 
Also, to avoid that straight seam when putting it up, cut the brick out like a puzzle on the butting ends.

It's a bit more time consuming, but very easy to do, and looks flawless in the end.

These are both great ideas that I never would have thought of.

The "cutting the bricks out for puzzle-fitting" sounds tricky, though. How do you make sure it fits? There's fake "grout" between the fake bricks, right?
 
all great ideas.

Did a bit more work, this time on the home theater side.

bulit the 3rd row riser for the theater seats.

This room is on the other side of the faux brick wall.

Oh, and had a few drinks.

My day job is insurance claims, and with all the stormes we had around indiana, I am aout to get busy, so may not have time to do much more work.. for a few weeks.

stay tuned.
