Show us your workstations!

Here's my workstation setup. I like large desk surfaces, so I just used a 10' countertop slab from Home Depot. :blush: The "monitor" is a 32-inch 1080p Sharp TV, which works surprisingly well for both games and work (I'm an aging Software Engineer, so the larger fonts in Visual Studio on a 32" screen are wonderful). :laugh:

It's a bit of a mess compared to other setups here, but it gets the job done. LOL. I could probably use a KVM and better cable management, too.

No offense intended but that wallpaper looks like it was designed for a 7 year old. So does the bedspread. If you're that young, please don't take offense. But if you're older than that, hello Jeffrey Dahmer!

Nice range of PCs, though!

Yeah, I know. The room was designed when I was probably about 10, and now I'm 22. I've been meaning to redo it for a while now, but haven't gotten around to it.

calendar is a bit off.

Like the above, I haven't gotten around to getting a new one yet, and I probably won't. Heh.

The only thing I can imagine is that it'd be a hell to wake up in such room with a hangover.

I have that same keyboard and I do game with it :p

As do I :p

that's the wired version right? Do you play FPS's? If you do, did you just change the "W" key from being move forward because when I had the wired version for all of one day, the keyboard wouldn't do W + Shift + Space Bar at the same time. It's a known defect with those things. So in FPS', no running and jumping until you change the controls. I bought the wireless version which doesn't have that problem.

Chucked in a 3rd screen, got the Macbook hooked up to the 1st display. My main windows box on the 2nd monitor and a old machine running Ubuntu 11.04 as a web server and to view Facebook...

All controlled through one keyboard and mouse using Synergy, SynergyKM (Mac), QSynergy (Windows) and Quick Synergy (Ubuntu). Setting up and using TeamViewer, TightVNC, XAMPP and Hamachi to communicate these 3 machines with a friend to develop some PHP has been a challenge, but a fun one nonetheless :)

I really hate wireless keyboards. The only use for them are HTPCs. I hate having batteries to mess with. LOL.

Any serious gamer would stay wired... totally not cool to change your batteries in the middle of a fragfest or an epic raid on a big monster in an MMO.... happened to me once!!!!!

I want one of those awesome Logitech ones with the LCD screen on them.

I have an HP media center pc that needs the KB batteries replaced once a week. LOL. I had a MS KB that was the same.

I used the MS KB when I played WoW back in nov 2009. had to replace them in the middle of a huge raid.... not cool LOL.

it's worse when it happened in a much harder MMO called tibia (old school snes styled one) and I died and lost a lot of loot!

but yeah I really want that awesome logitech KB though still.

I've heard more people with that same issue. There are no issues like that on my side when I play FPS's. I did have issues with the wireless version though. Logitech sent me the wired version as a fix as I didn't want to have a 2nd wireless version which could have the same issues.

    • Spyro: A Realm Beyond revealed by Toys for Bob, the first new entry after almost 20 years by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The Xbox Games Showcase had a surprise reveal from Activision that wasn't related to Call of Duty. The Microsoft-owned publisher revealed a brand-new Spyro game, confirming the return of the series that last had a brand-new entry appear nearly 20 years ago. Watch the new Spyro: A Realm Beyond trailer above, which shows off a new look for the iconic dragon. While most of the trailer is a rendered cinematic, the very end does feature a snippet of gameplay captured on PC. The development team working on this project is Toys for Bob. This is the same studio that delivered the Spyro Reignited Trilogy remasters that brought back the original games for fans. "We are huge Spyro fans ourselves and we are so excited that 'the adventure continues'," says Toys For Bob Studio Head, Paul Yan. "I know the wait has been excruciating but we’re so thrilled to finally come out of stealth and confirm that a new Spyro game is indeed what we’ve been up to these past few years." As is evident from the trailer, Spyro has grown since his previous adventures, and that means he is better at flying too. Players will be able to fly around with freedom for the first time in the series this time, and not just inside mini-levels. "In Spyro: A Realm Beyond, Spyro will experience the freedom of true dragon flight," adds Yan. "He’s small, but mighty, so we had to do a lot of different experiments to explore how he could be both nimble and still be very physical when actively pushing his way through the air." The studio promises the return of whimsical worlds to explore, with plenty of treasure and activities to find. There is a new antagonist coming in to threaten this peaceful world too. Moreover, Tom Kenny is returning to voice Spyro. Spyro: A Realm Beyond is releasing sometime in Spring 2027 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2.
    • They couldn't have done a better job, this is beautiful!
    • Oh, of course not. The real "victims" are the people who snipe kids in the head, have killed more journalist than all the worlds wars combined, do double tap strikes on medical personnel, claim history started on October 7th, have a $700 million dollar annual Hasbara budget and pay influencers $7k a post to spout exactly this kind of propaganda. How dare you question the most moral army in the world. Victimhood belongs to these genocidal freaks alone. Anyone who denies that is literally Hitler. If you're going to support a terrorist state, the least you could do is come up with better talking points.
    • Gears of War: E-Day brings 12-player co-op, smoother traversal mechanics, and more by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Right as the Xbox Games Showcase came to an end today, The Gears of War developer The Coalition took over to show off its next project: E-Day. This prequel project was announced back in 2024, but now we have a lot more details about its campaign, new gameplay mechanics, and even a release date. The studio says this is the first time it has managed to get the time to build the entire game in a new engine, as it had worked non-stop on new titles for years while porting classic code and assets. With Unreal Engine 5 now powering Gears of War: E-Day, The Coalition says it started completely anew, with all assets, animations, environments, and others being built from scratch. The campaign will take place across three days in the city of Kalona. The story will follow the events through the eyes of Bravo Squad. This is made up of the returning classic duo Marcus and Dom, as well as the new characters Mags Carter and Lucas Reyes. Watch the trailer below to see Marcus in action without his iconic armor and gear, just as the Locust invasion kicks off. The story will draw on classic Gears novels like Aspho Fields as well, with the studio even collaborating with author Karen Traviss. "That continuity is what makes the destruction land," says the studio. "In E-Day, you watch a living city torn apart—homes still lit, meals half-finished—while people abandon their cars and run for cover. Small details—a child’s toy, an uneaten dinner—make the loss real as everyday places collapse under the Locust assault." The movement system is getting a big overhaul here. Players will be able to slide while running, jump across gaps, climb head-height covers, and even crawl on the ground to avoid fire from enemies. As for the returning horde mode, The Coalition teased a new 12-player PvE mode. This will involve three squads of Gears going up against the incoming Locusts in larger city maps than usual. The studio says that it is going to reimagine the classic formula just as co-op games are going through a resurgence. Multiplayer was touched on today too, where Versus is coming back touting four versus four Gears PVP action set across Kalona maps. More details about multiplayer will be revealed later. Open beta weekends are kicking off this August for fans wanting to jump in early too. Gears of War: E-Day is releasing on Xbox Series X|S and PC on October 6 with pre-orders available now. It will also be a part of Xbox Game Pass on day one. Microsoft has confirmed this as an Xbox platform exclusive, as there are no plans to bring it to PlayStation or Switch.
