Jake English's room in his Pacific island home is scattered with a dangerously unorganized collection of guns and firearms. His placronym lies atop one pile at the lower right of the room.
Like Jade Harley's bed, Jake's bedsheets have a sun on them; rather than a cloudy sky, however, the rest of the sheet is patterned with the various “FRIGHTENING FAUNA” that can be found on the island. Also like Jade's, it is posted by four spires resembling those on a Quest Bed; as the only robot on Jake's island was Dirk Strider's, however, it is not clear what the function of these is.
A desk in the upper right portion of the room is where Jake works on such projects as the Terry Kiser bunny for his descendant John Egbert.
Posters[]
Jake's walls are almost completely covered with film posters not unlike John's; rather than older films, however, most of Jake's posters are for modern franchises. This selection of films reflects Jake's interests, and mirrors his pre-scratch collection, including movies about mummies,
blue ladies and knights. In addition, most of the posters reference Lord English in some way.

- The Mummy (1999) contains both archaeological themes and references to Ancient Egyptian tombs
- The Stargate series (Stargate (1994) and Stargate Atlantis) also contain references to archaeology and Egyptology, as well as portals to alien worlds
