Gaming What is your setup for gaming?

[TheDeadly Curs3]

Alright so I am always interested in what people are using to game. That being things from your TV to accessories you may use. So the purpose of this thread is to just share your set up and then if people have been looking into buying an item that you have, say a headset, they can then ask you the pros and cons of the item other than a YouTube video review. So feel free to use these guide line if you want to share and if i forgot an area just add it to yours!

-TV(Brand, size, HD?)
- Controller (Brand? special features? and any other attachments to the controller)
- Headset (Brand)
-Xbox Model
-Gaming Glasses?
-Any odd quirks you have when you play?


1. Vizio, 22inch, 1080p LEDLCD
2.Wired White (with custom sticker job! haha) with keyboard attachment.
3.Turtle Beach X12
4. Xbox Slim
5. None
6. My odd quirks are that if I am playing competitively I'd rather play on a TV that is smaller than 26inchs, something else is that I must have the mic on my headsets on the right side of my face other wise it drives me nuts.

22" monitor
I own a custom no-slow wired controller, red/white/blue like an MLG controller, with my gamertag on it... but I play with the wireless one that came with the Xbox
Astro A40
Xbox Slim
I own prescription Gunnars, but usually don't wear em
I turn my voice channel much louder than game channel, and then play music over it. So it's music>voice>game

Cool idea for a thread! Here's my setup:

Samsung LCD TV 32"
Black regular controller (just got it, my other one is five years old now)
Red Samurai headset (just got it, still use a regular mic sometimes if I need to listen to music while playing)
White Xbox 360 Premium (the original version with a 20GB hard drive, this one's actually a refurbished one I got in fall of '08 when my original 360 red ringed)
Nope
Lawn Chair from Walmart is my gaming chair, yeah I know

 

[corduroyCHUCK]

a 22 inch 1080p monitor next to an old macbook and 32 inch 720p lcd tv

xbox and desktop pc are hooked to the monitor on an auto hdmi splitter

ps3 is hooked up to the hdtv (mostly for netflix) but can easily be plugged to the monitor

astro a40s going into an optical splitter switch, connected to the ps3, xbox, and pc

i too am wrapped in a blanket on my computer chair while i play

Oh geez, I forgot to mention...

Elgato Game Capture HD with HDMI input/output, plugs into my laptop.

So yes, I have a TV, laptop, Xbox, and about 2,000 wires on my desk.

 

[corduroyCHUCK]

dude my desk is an atomic bomb of wires, i love it. I didnt even get into all my external hard drives and stuff lol.

i suppose my weird quirk is i CANNOT listen to music while playing xbox. just cant, too much going on there

On my desk I have a 3 outlet splitter thing with my Xbox plugged into it and also my computer and phone when necessary. Now, here's where shit gets crazy, from my Xbox I have the following:
1. power cable to power supply to outlet
2. HDMI output to Elgato to TV
3. USB to Elgato (to laptop when recording)
4. Component adaptor to headset
5. USB to headset
6. USB to controller (when charging)
7. Audio cable from controller to thingy to headset

Then there's my laptop charger and such, way too many damned wires!

I really like listening to music while I game, so my headset has to go away sometimes. Gotta get my music while forging especially.

 

[corduroyCHUCK]

there are never too many wires! how big of a power strip do you have?

ive got a full 12er myself

Well, I'm pretty sure there's a total of seven outlets in my dorm room, but I have a four slot power strip with my three slot splitter coming out of that. Then my amp is plugged over into the wall on the only other free outlet in the room.

Now are any of these blankets everyone is wrapped up in a Snuggie? lol

[swank]

32" Never really cared for a big screen but I've adapted.

I usually use the controller that came with the box, however I do have an evil controller with sensitive triggers and buttons. I also run kontrol freeks.

Wireless Astro A40 when trying, wireless Xbox mic when not

Xbox slim Modern Warfare 3 edition

Additionally I have to have music going when being competitive, and the kontrol freeks with highest sensitivity is a must.
