This Month On Edge

When we weren’t doing everything else, we were thinking about stuff like this

The things that caught our eye during the production of E307

CHAIR

You might have noticed a certain luxury in where esports pros park their backsides these days. The gaming chair has come an awfully long way, and while prices can be extortionate, more reasonable models can be found by those prepared to shop around. Noblechairs’ offerings begin at £299, the cost difference achieved by using faux leather instead of the real thing – though it’s breathable, which might be preferable for those who enjoy lengthy sessions on hot summer days. Comfy and flexible, the only drawback is a metal bar that supports the backrest and may, if you’re not careful, cause serious harm during an otherwise painless set-up process.

TWEETS
