Gaming Technologies

The hardware and software specifically designed for the act of playing games, from ergonomic controllers that claim to prevent "gamer claw" (they help, slightly) to gaming chairs that look like they belong in a race car and cost as much as one. Gaming technologies also include the streaming setups that turn playing games into a profession, complete with green screens, professional lighting, and a webcam pointed at someone who is definitely not dressed as nicely below the frame. The ultimate gaming technology remains the "pause button," which separates civilized gamers from those who have never known its comfort.

He used it exclusively to play a 20-year-old game that ran on a toaster. The technologies were overkill, but they made the toaster game look amazing."*
