VisionRacer VR3 eDrive puts a full racing simulator in your living room

By Scott Younker December 16, 2011

There are plenty of peripherals specifically made for racing games like Forza 4 and DiRT. Most of them tend towards the cheaper side of cheap plastic steering wheels. For those of you who take your racing seriously have we got the product for you.

The VisionRacer line of racing setups from SimRoom is pretty intense. They come with a full steering wheel, racing seat, shifter and pedals. The model we’ve featured here, the VR3 eDrive, comes with a 32-inch Samsung LED HDTV and either a Playstation 3 or Xbox 360. The PS3 model comes with GT5 and the 360 comes with Forza 4. This particular model is about $3,000.

You can make the VR3 all chrome and there are various adds on that increase the price a bit. Or you can go all out and get their $8,000 model which comes with a D-Box Motion Model. The D-Box is kind of a high-end vibration model that simulates the feel of your driving your car.

If you feel that you’re racing simulations aren’t real enough, grab one of these set ups from SimRoom and take it to the next level.

Kill Order gameplay in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.

Ever since Modern Warfare, Call of Duty fans have been obsessed with finding every tip and trick they can to level up faster. Now that Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has arrived with a refreshed Prestige system, the drive to grind levels is again at an all-time high. While everything you do does earn you XP, they are not all created equal. Just like picking your Wildcards or Perks, earning XP as fast as possible takes a bit of thought and planning. If there's a piece of equipment you have your eye on at a high level, or just want to grind through some Prestige ranks as fast as possible, here are the fastest ways to grind XP in Black Ops 6.
Do your dailies

We'll get the most obvious tip out of the way first. Daily challenges are back and work just as they always have. Every 24 hours you will be given a handful of small optional tasks to complete for a heap of bonus XP. These can be things like getting Scorestreak kills, getting Point Blank Kills, and getting kills with a specific weapon type. Most daily challenges are worth 2,500 XP, which is already a nice bonus, but there is also a fourth one that can be worth between 3,000 and 5,000 additional XP. Each day you log on, you should prioritize your daily challenges.
