SO, I HAVEN'T POSTED ANYTHING HERE IN OVER 1000 YEARS.
Anywho, I've been recently trying to narrate stuff for video games (only did like a tiny thing for Mother 3 as of now) and I would love some feedback.
So a few months back I began doing a Let's Play series on The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion on youtube. I decided to scrap the idea after about 10 episodes because it began to get boring and stupid to do a Let's Play on a game that everyone has already played the shit out of. I need a fresher idea of what kind of game to play, and can record from both PC and attempt to record gameplay from a console. The only question is...what should I play?
As wireless as it can be, the X Rocker chair that I ordered several month ago to replace my recliner still stands today with no damages at all. Standing at about 38 inches, the X Rocker is a multimedia gaming chair that provides excellent sound and vibration to enhance one's gaming experience. The X Rocker comes equipped with 3 speakers (two at the headrest and one beneath the seat), an array of buttons to adjust bass and volume, and lift-able arms.
Being the way it is, the X Rocker is a gaming chair that is used only if you want better audio for your gaming experience and it doesn't fall short for what it was made for. The chair comes with a side-panel with several buttons and plug-in areas to adjust audio and bass, or to plug in your MP3 player or other device. The volume button is sensitive when the bass is set all the way up and can make your entire room shake when turned all the way at max. Inside your package with the chair will come several wires for power and to connect it to your gaming consoles with either a direct connection or a wireless connection. For wireless connectivity, the chair comes with an audio transmitter that requires the user to either use 3 AAA batteries (which I do not recommend if you're into prolonged hours of gaming) or connected to a power adapter which must be bought separately.
The sound quality is top-notch and the chair does not lack anything audio-wise. With the 3 speakers surrounding the user, it gives a great atmospheric surround sound. Added with the bass, the chair can cause vibrations from things in the game that would naturally cause a controller to vibrate. With this chair I have experienced high quality sound and began hearing things that would normally be unheard using a TV's standard speaker.The chair itself is made of vynal, plastic, and (unnoticeable) wood with a cushion headrest. The chair itself has no wear-and-tear unless handled roughly and can hold up to people ages 12+ who are 250 lbs or less.
The X Rocker was designed for both sound and comfort and doesn't fall short of either. Keep in mind, I am 5' 6'' and find no discomfort at all from the X Rocker. There have been several reviews of people (who I assume must be taller than me) finding discomfort in the chair. While the chair is covered in viynal for optimal cleaning and comfort, it features cushions on the headrest, the backrest and little cushioning in the seat region. While the plastic armrests aren't the best things in the world, they can get some getting used to, or they can be moved upward out of the user's way. The chair also acts as a rocker ( I usually lean it against my bed as shown in above pics when leaning back) and can spin 360 degrees around with a secure pedestal on the bottom.

Well hello there Giant Bomb community. My name is Edwin, or Wibbinson. I am a 19 year old college student who is studying graphic design and loves to play video games. I've always found some fascination with video games and believe they exist for more than entertainment. I may or may not post much on this blog. (I am terrible with things like this) But, the things I will post are either stories, reviews, or ideas for anything gaming and I hope to have a great time here on GiantBomb :D
