Your gaming set up?
-
22-10-2010 1:42am#1I remember seeing one of the lads post a pic of the set up he had recently and thought it'd be interesting to see others?
Might sound weird but little things for me can ruin a nights gaming, the difference it makes actually sitting in a chair as opposed to just on a bed or sofa playing is crazy. Your relaxed more and def have your head in the right place. Small things like moving from standard def to HD was amazing, my range in the game alone doubled, can still remember being picked off by people I couldnt even see on wasteland.
Here's my own set up......Whats yours? Kinda tv you play on? Surround sound? PC display? Etc.
Have my 32 philips HD, surround sound, S elite model xbox, comfy exec chair, laptop mount on the armrest (for boards when I'm board during that long 60 second turn around!) all linked in through a N series hub and soon to be adding Kinect for the gadget goodness of it!

I have a fair decent set up when the missus is not around.
Only problem is I just got the Turtle Beach headsets so it makes the room look a right mess.
Totally agree about the gaming throne by the way, it makes a huge difference.
I tried playing from the couch (less than 4 feet away from my 50" HD
) and ended up shooting at fresh air!
P.S: Will post pics tomoro0 -

That was me
Bit crap at the moment, but it does the job, and I agree with you on the whole sitting comfortably thing

ha i remember seeing yours during a vid( cant see the pic in work
) more of a lair than a bedroom . half expect you to enter a secret door behind a book case and slide down a steel pole to get into the place
well my set up is a 37" hd tv , turtle beachs and a relaxing leather chair that leans back(or falls over depending on how drunk the user is)...(so mostly falls over). its strategicly placed out of direct sunlight (*hisss* it burrrnnnnnnssss)and im about 6 to 7 inchs from the whole thing meaning i can hammer annefrank from a mile away 0 -

I have a gaming PC too, so I have both that and my PS3 hooked up together.
Screen is a 24" Samsung flat screen, full 1080p HD. Source button on monitor to switch between PC and PS3.
Headset is a Sony wireless jobby, amazing for music but no 5.1 so not the best for directional audio in games. Might upgrade when Black Ops comes out.
Remote on my iPhone to control my iTunes so I can change music without switching back to my PC, pure laziness
Oh and a reclining leather office chair for my ass.0 -

He does mean UPS yeah....as in Uninteruptable Power Supply......we use them for keeping servers alive for a bit when the power goes down. They are basically a big battery allowing you to shut down your kit gently.
Mega set up btw. 0 -

Heres mine anyway. Sorry if the image is to big:o
I only tilt the recliner back a little when playing. Nice setup hightower1!
we share a common interest in both television models and runners
not in posters though . ive got a halo one and a force unleashed 2 poster but not any anime0 -
Hah.
Don't laugh.
That's my setup. I don't actually have a desk (the small one with the big LCD on it belongs to my housemate).
I can often be found playing L4D2 on the projector from bed. Life is sweet. (Well, when my MX510 gets repaired.. right now the rollerball + German dictionary mousepad is pissing me off too much to game.) 0 -

Oh yeah, forgot to mention.. the Wii and the 360 both hook up to the projector.
Projector = most awesome thing ever for lazy gaming!
I do miss my old stuff, though.. the computer and monitor etc are handmedowns as I couldn't bring my good one over 0 -

How do people play from the couch?! I don't get it...
Every time I try and play from the couch I end up scooching closer towards the edge until I fall off and am reduced making my way to the telly mid game, on my knees, for a better view of the already crystal clear image.
Ya gotta be in the game, hence the arm chair 4 feet away from the 50" 0 -

I play from the couch (the edge usually), it's only about 6 feet away in reality. 0 -
