You definitely don't have to sit through these videos in their entirety to get the gist, but check out at least the first few seconds of racing game fanatic Chad Smith's five-monitor setup. (He strapped a GoPro camera to his head to capture the footage.)
The first vid is of a game called iRacing, but the second one, of the Richard Burns Rally game, has livelier footage:
Surprisingly immersive! Smith is a man who obviously takes this stuff seriously: Never mind that he's playing these with a camera strapped to his head and an iPhone in the steering wheel feeding him car data—check out the racing gloves he's wearing in that first vid. You've gotta feel a little self-conscious when your girlfriend walks into the room and finds you like that, no?
