I ended up with three sets of headphones on my desk.

CORSAIR HS55 Surround Gaming Headset Plus Games
I’m such a good little consumer. Today I got myself some surround sound headphones with microphone attached. I got the CORSAIR HS55 Surround Gaming Headset which was a step up from the CORSAIR HS35 v2 option.
I am interested in getting a VR headset but honestly I don’t know anything about that technology yet, so I am holding off for now. I don’t understand why the price differentials are so drastic, there are $20 thru $3,000 options. I think some of them are just straps which you attach your smartphone to.
Also I am planning to get the Logitech G X56 Throttle and Stick Controller but I haven’t hit the buy button on that one yet either. I want this so I can play my Descent games (see below, I got Descent 1, 2, and 3).
There is a sale on games at the moment over on Steam and I got a bunch of games while they were up to 90% off:
- God of War
- Descent
- Descent 2
- Descent 3
- Back 4 Blood
- It Takes Two
- The Orange Box (this has all the Half-Life games)
- Black Mesa
- Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor Game of the Year Edition
- Aliens Colonial Marines Collection
- Aliens VS Predator Collection
- Alien: Isolation
- Alien: Isolation – The Trigger
- Alien: Isolation – Trauma
- Alien: Isolation – Safe Haven
- Alien: Isolation – Lost Contact
- Alien: Isolation – Corporate Lockdown
- Alien: Isolation – Crew Expendable
- Alien: Isolation – Last Survivor
A few days ago I got Prey which I have been playing on my new gaming rig ‘treat‘, that’s been a bit of fun.
More shelving!
In addition to the new shelving I’ve added two more bits.
One is a shelf for my Chumby (or anything else) and the other is a 10cm plastic protrusion which I can use to hang my headphones (or anything else).
Those green drawers are made from cardboard and needed a little extra support under the left hand side on the bottom which is why I stuck one of my 4.5mm PVC sheets under there (but I also needed something to attach the 10cm protrusion, so two birds, one stone).
Those PVC sheets I’ve been using were 4.5mm thick clear Nanya PVC cut to order at 254 x 174 mm by Plastics Online. I had to order a bunch of them to meet the minimum order requirements (I think I ordered 8 and they sent 9).
There’s space between my three stacks of drawers for one or two component boxes, so looking forward to making something interesting to stick in those.
