Couch Commandos from Betabrand are based on traditional military cargo pants, adapted to the  needs of the most demanding “Recliner Rambos.” Available in Black-Ops Black, Olive Drab, and Desert Khaki ($85) as well as a limited-edition mash-up of modern digital camouflage and graphics inspired by old-school, 8-bit video games ($125 custom pre-order). These combat-ready trousers are made of 100% French-twill cotton, so they’re incredibly comfy. But make no mistake: Betabrand tailored these trousers for intense virtual combat. They come equipped with six big pockets, including two oversized gusseted cargos that can accommodate a couple of controllers, several SDHC cards and an emergency ration of Skittles. Other features include drawstring ankle cinches and an extra-sturdy inseam to survive harrowing missions to and from the refrigerator.

Pair up the pants with the SteelSeries Desmo. This new style of eyewear designed for competitive gamers, features GUNNAR’s i-AMP lens technology. The glasses improve visual efficiency, endurance and recovery during gaming sessions. To minimize peripheral distractions, the unique design is semi-rimless and provides a broad visual field that allows the user to completely focus on the screen. The frame features flexible twin-rail temples combined with adjustable nose pads for a lightweight, stable fit. As an added benefit for gamers, the ultra-slim temples rest comfortably beneath a gaming headset. The new style will be available in two color options — Desmo Onyx and Desmo Snow.

According to GUNNAR, the tint in the lenses is specially formulated to shift the color spectrum to provide superior contrast, detail and resolution. The lenses have an anti-reflective coating that reduces glare and other distractions caused by reflective light. The lenses are out of the box ready for those with 20/20 vision or visit www.gunnars.com/rx/ for more information on how to purchase the glasses with prescription lenses. 

And, for an even better view, on Nov. 11 in Japan, Sony will release the HMZ-T1, head mounted Personal 3D Viewer. This head mounted display allows users to enter their own personal world of High Definition 3D entertainment. The HMZ-T1 is the world’s first 3D compatible Head Mounted Display equipped with twin HD organic light-emitting diode (OLED) screens and simulated 5.1 surround sound for enjoying movies and games.

The two independent OLED screens display HD video separately, largely eliminating cross-talk and blurring for more comfortable 3D viewing. To replicate the cinema experience, Sony has extended the horizontal viewing angle of the Personal 3D Viewer to 45 degrees. This simulates a real 750-inch movie theater screen at a virtual viewing distance of 20 meters. The display includes a processor unit to connect to Blu-ray Disc, Playstation3 and other devices. Now, all you need to do is figure out how to get one flown in from Tokyo — Kaki peanuts optional.
