Over the past year we've reviewed a handful of different gaming chairs. These were from brands that were quite well known. Recently we've been contacted from quite a few companies selling gaming chairs on Amazon who we had never heard of before. The prices are quite low too. While we originally turned down these offers to review such chairs, we decided to check one out to see if there was a difference between these chairs and the name brand chairs we've already taken a look at. So today we have the Sunmae Gaming Chair, which comes in at $164 on Amazon, making one of the cheapest gaming chairs available.

As the name suggests, the Surge is part of the HyperX Pulsefire line, and offers great hardware like a Pixart 3389 sensor and Omron switches, as well as 360-degree RGB LED lighting effects. In addition to the standard gaming mouse options, the Surge gives users access to HyperX NGenuity, a software application that delivers extra customization options.

The main highlight in the video, which shouldn't be a surprise to anyone is that Battlefield V will have a battle royale mode called "Firestorm".

It seems as if integrating so much tech into these displays is giving integrators a hard time. With that NVIDIA partners have announced that these BFGD panels have been delayed till Q1 of 2019. With the delay the cost of these panels have gone up as well, not costing between $4000 and $5000.

It looks like Bethesda will be cutting out the middle man (Steam) for their release of Fallout 76. We all know that Steam charges a fee to publishers to distribute their games, which most publishers are more than willing to pay as setting up their own digital distribution service is not an easy task. On top of that for many small publishers Steam brings their games to a larger audience.

Steam's numbers are on a downward trend, and it is one of the biggest decline's we've seen in years. What is causing this decline? Well I'm sure many of you are thinking Battle Royale games, but there are other factors here as well. We are right in the middle of Steam's Summer decline. Typically Steam sees user counts peak annually in January and decline into the summer. This year the decline is quite significant compared to previous years, numbers have gone down by 17% compared to 9% last year.

Ah the gaming headset, just like any type of gaming product these days the market is saturated making it hard for you the consumer to choose which headset is the best for you. Typically as consumers we grade products based on their price, but a lot of the time the quality and performance do not match the price. Today we are checking out a gaming headset that comes in at a very affordable $49, but offers some amazing performance. That headset is the Cougar Phontum which features 53 mm dual-chamber drivers, two different sizes of included earpads, and a sleek design. Cougar says this headset was "created for those who want to enjoy great audio in long gaming sessions" and we are going to put that to the test.
