The Gaming Bra

So I really don't want to prejudge the KOR-FX sound immersion thingy, but wow, that looks like a gaming bra. 



A $180 gaming bra.  So the concept behind this is simple.  Strap a subwoofer to your chest and hope your pacemaker holds out.  We've seen chairs with this concept before, and having your body rattle with bass can be entertaining at first.  Just keep off the hip-hop and low rider tunes or you will be in a jiggling world of pain for the rest of the day.

Also, apparently the vibrations on your chest help induce, umm, sensual feelings.  The O-Face from the website is disturbing and hilarious all at once.

When the original just isn't good enough

Zelda fan? Sound track fan?

 Confirming to either of these questions should point you in this direction, http://www.zreomusic.com/2009/12/25/ocarina-of-time

The fine folks at Zreo Reorchastrated have been putting together music from the Zelda series for a few years now, and their latest addition of Ocarina of Time is a fantastic release worth checking out. 



What makes these sounds unique is the time and effort ZREO takes into recomputing all the original Zelda music into a synthetic orchestra for your listening pleasure.  The quality is great and it brings back tons of great memories.  Head over to help make it through the work day with a little Hyrule melody, you won't be disappointed!
