Turtle Beach shot my face with a beam of concentrated Michael Jackson

I’m sitting in a fancy hotel room in downtown San Francisco, which seems to be the recurring location of most of my private meetings in the game industry. Across the room is a Turtle Beach representative, tooling around with some hardware. Turtle Beach’s MO is gaming headsets, but today it’s showing me something new.

The Turtle Beach representative, kneeling in front of some equipment, turns to me and says, “So I’m going to point these speakers … well … not speakers. You know what I mean. I’m going to point these … things … at your head. So hold still.”
