Our 5 Best Gaming Desks In 2020 (Arozzi, PC gaming & Tournament)
An In-depth Look At The Best Gaming Desks Of 2019...
There's nothing worse than buying the latest gaming PC and having a second rate desk to use it on. You never have enough room to move the mouse, the keyboard is constantly hanging off the edge, it's just not practical. Well, we've had the same issue in the past and feel like it's a problem that needs addressing.
In this article, we take an in-depth look at what we believe are the best gaming desks this 2019 and walk you through some of the fundamental areas which make a gaming desk a great one.
The following desks have been selected based upon their GAMING merit and have been categorized by design, price, and functionality. If you're in the market for the best gaming desk money can buy, then look no further, we have you covered...
The Best Gaming Desks Of 2019
Arozzi Arena Leggero Compact Gaming Desk
- Practical, easy to construct desk
- Great gaming surface made of waterproof fabric
- Solid footing
- Doesn't have many add-ons
- Doesn't have a huge load capacity
One of the most popular brands in the gaming desk sector comes in the shape of Arozzi. You may have heard of the Arozzi guys before as they do a large range of gaming chairs, microphones, and even simulator stands.
However, in this article, we'll be focusing on their impressive Leggero compact gaming desk which we feel is the number one spot for both serious and laid-back gamers alike.
The Leggero comes with a really user-friendly and intuitive design which takes no time to erect. The desk itself is extremely sturdy thanks to the steel and MDF makeup that this desk is comprised of. The surface is extremely large and has a full-length waterproof fabric skin which allows the mouse to glide effortlessly across it.
The design, even though simple, is aesthetically pleasing and suited my build quite well. It's a shame the desk has no RGB as I feel the aesthetics would benefit from some massively. However, your money hasn't been wasted, it's been put to good use making sure this desk is going to last the test of time.
Overall, the Leggero is a brilliant all-round desk which not only looks good but has been built with quality in mind. If you're looking for an easy-to-use desk that's going to give you the edge over the competition, look no further.
Bizzoelife 47" Z Shape E Sports Racing Table
- Take a lot of weight
- Large gaming surface
- Great ergonomic design
- None adjustable height
Our runner up comes in the shape of the Bizzoelife 47" Sports table which comes equipped with a cool Z shape design, 2 zones of flashy LED lighting and a hugely impressive load capacity.
This being said, it's not just the design and functionality that plays a key part in each of the desks rankings. The price is also a major part of how the desk rates in our best of guide. For that reason, the Bizzo gets extra points as it features excellent price/performance.
The 'Z shape' this desk is designed around not only makes the Bizzoelife look superb, but it also increases sturdiness and practicality without needing to add any extra supports.
The height of the desk comes in at 29" but does have a small amount of adjustability thanks to the 1cm feet which can be increased if need be. The feet also prevent the desk from scratching and marking your floor which, as you can probably imagine, is hugely advantageous.
The surface doesn't come with a matte finish but is fully waterproof and slightly textured. A huge 47" gaming surface is the draw of this desk and offers consumers the largest playing surface out of all the desks in this list. A gaming surface of this size will surely exceed anyone's needs when it comes to mouse maneuverability.
The Bizzo, as we'll call it, comes with 2 LED lighting zones which can produce 7 colours respectively. They are found on either side of the desk and produce solid amounts of light which is a huge bonus on a cheaper style desk.
This isn't our budget pick but does fall into the cheaper side of the boat when comparing it with the other selections we've chosen. For this reason and the great build quality, the Bizzo just misses out on the top spot, but not by much.
Arozzi Arena Gaming Desk
- Ergonomic design which has adjustable height
- Sleek design with waterproof fabric finish
- Large gaming surface
- On the expensive side
We've labeled this desk as the professional pick and for good reason.
This desk scraps all the fancy lights and features and sticks with what's best for you as a gamer. The developers clearly spent a lot of time decomposing what makes a great gaming desk and it really shows in the fine details.
The Arena comes in 6 different colours so there's sure to be one that fits your mood and gaming room aesthetics. The design is something Arozzi is very proud of, so much so that they are currently awaiting patent approval for the design, something you don't usually see in today's desks.
The height, unlike some in this list, is fully customizable and can be altered by unscrewing lock screws on each leg. This is a great feature for me, I need to be at the perfect height to game especially in FPS where accuracy is crucial.
The desk comes erected in 3 separate pieces meaning you can take down and move it very easily. The build quality is exceptional and you can tell this thing is going to last for years to come. The huge gaming surface is another massive plus and comes fully enclosed in a microfibre, waterproof layer which can be used as a mat if you wish.
The price, at the time of writing this, currently sits at $299 and for us is a steal for what you receive.
Eureka Ergonomic X1-S Gaming Computer Desk
- Functional design
- Large, textured gaming surface
- Sturdy footing
- Headphone hanger on the short side
The Eureka X1-s gaming desk is our budget pick but don't let that fool you. It comes with a tonne of cool add-ons that can not be found with other desks.
The desk, like most, is extremely sturdy and has an X style design that feels very robust. The desk is made up of steel and MDF but feels fit to last. It comes with a couple of LED light zones which certainly boost this desks aesthetic appeal. The lights are set to blue and can't be changed, this being said, it's a nice touch regardless.
The desk comes with a couple of interesting features such as a cup holder, headphone holder, and console pad holder. This thing has the capacity to hold everything you have to throw at it, whilst still having enough room to accommodate a huge mat, your gaming rig, and monitor.
Being our budget pick naturally it's the cheapest in this guide, but like we said before, for the price you get a nice looking desk that has cool features and a decent lifespan.
ApexDesk Elite Series 71″
- Nice ergonomic design
- Electronically adjust the height with the touch of a button
- Sturdy steel frame
- Quite expensive
Even though this article is specifically targetting gaming desks, the Apexdesk manages to slot its way in without being labeled as one. We can thank some excellent features and cool aesthetics for this.
From afar, you might think the Apexdesk is simply an office desk with some additional features. Well, you'd be half right thinking this but not totally. We're recommending this for gamers and have looked at it from a gaming point of view primarily. The features seem to suit a gamer perfectly.
The design of this desk isn't too flashy meaning it's going to fit into almost any setting seamlessly. It's built using solid materials and has an excellent sturdy base that can accommodate upwards of 100Kg.
The surface is extremely large, 71" to be exact, and gives the user a huge amount of room for several monitors, a huge mouse mat and whatever else they feel is needed on their game station.
A really cool feature, and one of the main reasons why this made it in our best of list, is its ability to change height with the touch of a button. The Apexdesk has an inbuilt electronic height adjuster which is controlled using the controller which can be found underneath the desk's top. You really can't put a price on having the correct height and this desk caters to literally every user out there.
How We Chose The Best Gaming Desk
There are many ways someone could interpret whether a desk is good or bad, but fundamentally our team believes that the merit of a desk, especially from a gaming point of view, comes down to 3 specific areas.
The first and most important feature or aspect of a gaming desk is its functionality. There's no point getting a desk that looks superb but can't accommodate a keyboard. It would be completely impractical. So the first rule of any gaming desk needs to be how functional and practical it is to the consumer.
So how does that break down... Well, the following are areas which need to be considered when looking at the functionality of a desk:
- Height (adjustable)
- Gaming surface size
- Load capacity
- Adjustable feet stabilizers
From a gaming point of view, and for me personally, these are the key areas that a manufacturer would have to address before looking at things like aesthetics and build quality. The design needs to be functional enough to accommodate everything a gamer needs or it simply won't rank as a gaming desk.
Design Aesthetics
Aesthetics in the technology universe seem to be growing in importance year on year it would seem. If you compare any piece of tech from any era you will likely see a huge increase in aesthetic design the closer you get to the present day. The gaming desk is no different.
A gaming desk isn't all about functionality, it needs to look the part as well. With the new age of gaming which is riddled with RGB and exciting new designs, the desk needs to follow suit and fit in. You would hate to have an RGB pumping, tempered glass, water-cooled gaming beast sat on a white plastic desk. It just wouldn't look right. This being said, the design of the gaming desk ranks quite high when we select the best gaming desks out there.
Features & Price
Finally, we come to the last, and for some, the most important aspect of any hardware addition, the features and price section.
I've combined these 2 categories into one as I feel anyone can acquire a desk packed with features if they spend enough money. However, what separates a lot of desks, is how good the features to price ratio is.
A desk worth $500 with 6 features is going to be much less desirable than a desk worth $300 with 5. It's all about finding the right balance between good, quality features, and an affordable price tag.
Some cool features that appear in our recommended desks are as follows:
- Additional holders
- Microfibre waterproof skin
- Wireless RGB controllers
- Adjustable height controller
- Cable management
- Ergonomic design
For most, this is the hardest part when purchasing new items, fear not though. The team spends countless hours browsing, purchasing and testing hardware offerings available to make sure the recommendations we provide are up-to-date and accurate. If there is value to be sniffed out, they're the guys to do it.
With that, we feel that all of our desks recommendations have been carefully considered using these 3(4) areas as a good benchmark.
Why Should I bother Getting A Computer Gaming Desk?
Well, it's a great question and one that crops up fairly often.
For us, the answer is pretty simple. If you want to get the edge over your competition then WE believe that a great gaming desk is absolutely essential. You simply can't put a price on a comfortable, ergonomic desk.
Let's take the surface for example. if you've never used a large playing surface before, you probably won't understand the advantages that come with using one. Using a small surface will automatically restrict your mouse movements meaning you either have to: smash your keyboard out of the way when doing a 180, or increase your sensitivity to accommodate for the lack of space.
Now, if you had an extra 2 feet to play with, you wouldn't have this issue to begin with. What you would have is a tonne of extra room to fully manoeuvre the mouse in your preferred sensitivity. If you're playing FPS there's simply no substitute for accuracy. A large gaming desk 100% increases that and gives you additional confidence that, outside factors, aren't going to falter in the heat of battle.
Another feature that crops up in gaming desks is their ability to alter in height. Now, if you game on a serious level you will fully understand the importance of having the perfect gaming height, as it were. You can't go from a 30" desk to a 25" desk, it's not going to work. So having the ability to change the height is pretty crucial for us.
The build quality of a gaming desk will, 9 times out of 10, be much better than your budget office desk. They're built using quality materials that are both robust and built to last meaning you can get quite aggressive with your movements and won't be worrying about it caving in anytime soon.
There are loads of little things that gaming desks bring to the table that others don't, but for me, these are the main benefits of a gaming desk.
Gaming Desk FAQ's
What is too big for a gaming desk?
It's an interesting question because I'm not sure you can go too big? Maybe one that physically doesn't fit inside of your house? No, jokes aside, there is a range that I consider to be the optimal surface width for a gaming monitor, and that's roughly between 65" and 75".
Why is that? Well, a computer gaming desk needs to be practical and functional, as mentioned above. A desk of 65" will accommodate 2 - 3 monitors and a huge mousemat meaning it can be tailored to literally every gamer's needs. A 75" will accommodate the same triple monitor setup, however, it will also be able to house your PC on top as well. This is great for streamers that want to show off their cool RGB dazzling rigs respectively. Anything over this will be a little OTT in my opinion.
Does a gaming desk improve your gaming?
That really depends on what type of game you're playing in my opinion. If like me, you're an avid FPS gamer then I definitely think a larger desk is going to improve your overall gameplay. I used a small crowded desk back in the day, it was garbage. However, once I had upgraded to a larger desk, it gave me peace of mind and more confidence meaning I could focus on in-game stuff and have fewer distractions out of game.
Other game platforms won't benefit like FPS does, however, it will make the gaming experience more enjoyable so that might have a knock on effect.
Should I be Worried About Load Capacity?
In short, yes.
I mean, most desks out there about going to be able to handle the weight of your generic monitor and desktop computer. However, if you want to upgrade to some heavier components or a dual monitor setup down the road, you might find yourself struggling to accommodate the extra weight.
Just keep it in the back of your mind when purchasing a desk, if it holds 40-60kg.. I would probably reconsider.
Closing Thoughts
That's our full breakdown of the top gaming desks available this 2019 and everything they have to offer. We've tried to offer something for every type of consumer by recommending desks with varying prices and functionality. However, if you feel we've missed a trick, feel free to leave us a comment below letting us know what desk you think will better fit in our list.
Ultimately, if you're looking at buying a gaming desk, it really comes down to those 3 core principles, functionality, design, and price. All the desks we recommend have been whittled down using the 3 principles as a rough guide and offer superb value for money across the board.

A thorough analysis of a Japanese classic
After three massively successful collaborations in every single artistic (and not only) aspect, the collaboration led by Hiroshi Teshigahara, Kobo Abe & Toru Takemitsu came to what's meant to be its final installment. This happens while the still hot and vividly 'redish' summer of 1968 takes place and through the release of the not so renowned title that 'The Man without a Map' is. Their overall collaboration has already bloomed within a precise time frame of almost 6 years (which translates as an exact 2 year gap between every film). Abe's novels for 'Woman in The Dunes', 'The Face of Another' and 'The Man without A Map' along with 'Pitfall's screenplay were usually published almost a year before the shooting, followed by his theatrical adaptation. As a result, Teshigahara and cinematographer Akira Uehara, along with the visionary avant–garde composer Toru Takemitsu, the crucial link between the first two artists (accompanied by a team of alike, truly prolific, fresh minds) breathe cinematic life into the aforementioned scripts. I will not get into various personal background details. I believe a proper writing dedicated separately to each one of these truly multidimensional artists would serve the absolute justice they deserve. Therefore I'm going to get straight to the chase.
During 1967, Abe publishes 'The Ruined Map'. By then, Abe is known in Japan for his versatile style in playwriting. He is also known for his philosophical quests and his common character forms, which come pretty close to the Kafka – Ionesco – Beckett triangle coated with hints of Mayakovsky's poetic radicalism, among many other influences. In this case, Abe creates what appears to be, at first glance, a detective-mystery novel that steadily spirals in deadpan existentialism and identity crisis. The searcher becomes the lost one. Faces approach as easily as they vanish. Facts which seem to matter with a naked eye become less important as they end up mixing into the depths of human psychology, within the backdrop of the post modern Japanese urban landscape. More precisely, the urban environment seems to have a full part of its own and quite a vivid one. As a result, this triggers Teshigahara's visual interpretations, which are brought onscreen in a profoundly poetic manner. Even though, in this particular case the vision seems a bit more austere, Teshigahara succeeds in presenting facts, figures and places covered in a dreamlike veil, but without losing touch with the problematic reality. This takes place built on solid, existential foundations, which Abe's characters possess. He achieves an almost unique resonance among the human factor, the artificial background and the natural environment, in quite a special way.
Names and faces do not matter so much as identities and figures blur between space and time like some kind of mirrored images. Figures like thoughts reflect their presence on the environment.
"What were you looking at?"
"A window."
"No, no. I mean what were you looking at through the window?"
"Windows... lots of windows. One by one the lights are going off. That's the only instant you really know somebody's there."
It's the inner psychology followed by the responsibility either the irrationality along with the consequences that thoughts and actions encrypt. This is a fact which brings us closer to the very core of this work: the path towards a modernist reality led by our primitive needs and instincts or even against them. Personal space falls across the landscape and as time progresses, characters become unaware of what is going to follow. In my opinion, Abe imposes the question of whether we can live one and only life surrounded by different perceptions concerning one certain single fact. Therefore, it needs to be stressed that his work inhabits in metaphysical territories and as a result, the cinematic dramatization is helping these elements to become more visible, but without subsiding the true existential value of his characters. In this particular work, it's the physical disappearance of one person and what's left behind: a name, a photograph and an everyday item which becomes the proof that someone left a trace. In our case, this is a matchbox. But is this the true identity of oneself, the fact that we may have one identity. And how many personalities we happen to project? What exactly others perceive and what we intend to claim as an identity? Maybe, even better, what is the effect caused during our time of presence and throughout our absence on those who are within our point of reach? In my humble opinion, even Abe himself is having difficulties to deliver a straight answer. But without a doubt, he doesn't intend on dropping his case, he's willing to explore. He will follow his main character. He shows confidence in trusting his instinct.

This is Teshigahra's first film in color and color is everywhere, either in primary or saturated form in very particular sequences. This happens especially when he needs to stress that the investigator is losing his sense of direction through space and time, and his confusion, along with the mixed perception of facts. He recruits Kiyoshi Awazu to design the titles, one of the most respectively creative graphic designers to come out of Japan. A real genius and a formless mind with tremendous sense of composing surreal asymmetrical shapes and transforming them into extraordinary designs, and amazing knowledge in color palettes. Awazu is admired for his wonderful urban and film poster designs.
(I lay these links here in case anyone wants to check out a few more things about this truly gifted designer and some of his work: https://gr.pinterest.com/pospag/poster-japan-kiyoshi-awazu/, http://neojaponisme.com/2012/12/11/glue-vapors-go-the-life-of-awazu-kiyoshi/ ).
Frame from the opening titles designed by Kiyoshi Awazu
The opening frame: a saturated urban landscape overview
As the camera's landing we enter a coffee bar named 'Tsubaki's', apparently after its owner. That's where we get to meet the nameless detective, performed by Shintaro Katsu ("Zatoichi", "Hanzo the Razor") trying to match information about the person he's holding this investigation. The only kind of evidence he has in his hands is the matchbox we mentioned before, which leads him in this particular place, a photograph, and the identity of the missing person. I believe that Katsu is an ideal pick as the detective. His detached look and dead serious but also quite determined figure, his-most of the time-questionable but empty stare serve as an exquisite vehicle as the -'descending into a spiral of confusion'-investigator. As the plot thickens and while he becomes aware that through straightforward investigation he's heading for a dead end, his expressions deform and we clearly see a man who's on the verge of a personal breakdown. Another reason I can assume why Katsu was picked by Teshigahara is his incredible performances throughout the Zatoichi movie series. His performance as the legendary blind samurai who's driven by his intuition and instinct to sense every possible threat around him is classic. Katsu managed to bring the difficult task with great credibility and at a reassuring ease, a trait that would help the audience believe in his character even more. That's more or less the case of our central character: he's a drifter making his way through a dark path. This path is not a straight one and he's going to get involved with a number of characters who evidently want to shine a light on the case. Of course, nothing is as it appears to be in the first place.
Shintaro Katsu as the nameless investigator
He has a deadline of one week to proceed with the case. Later on, his agency officially pulls him out of the case. That's when he decides not only to continue this investigation by himself, but he also feels obliged to dig deeper, in order to draw the best possible conclusion. As mentioned before, time is only a scheme to move through space and this is the first part of our story. Since time is cancelled, space almost decomposes, the main character seems to get lost between faces, places and facts. They become one substance. I got the impression that somehow Teshigahara wants us to sink into the modernist urban landscape along with his main character. From this point on he's trying to guide his way through, mostly based on his instinct than using plain investigating procedures. He is driven by the victim's possible well kept secrets or by his apparent actions which come up as habits. In other words, he tries to walk deeper in his shoes. He wants to follow him step by step. Finally the detective ends up getting lost, in a variety of ways. He sees himself entrapped, more like finding himself between two worlds. The one he's in physically, and the one forming through the case. The two worlds blend in a hallucinatory state, a bit toxic, somehow demoralized and with a sense of threat against his own existence.

The odds in trusting the characters that revolve around the missing person are quite a few to zero. A fact that makes the possibility to form a solid case quite difficult, based on the confessions he-anyway-hardly gets. Usually, when it happens, it comes with a personal cost. These surrounding characters are: the missing person's mysterious, almost alcoholic wife; her enigmatic brother who appears quite early and out of nowhere in the film (while in the same way and quite early he steps out of the game); an obviously dysfunctional subordinate-colleague who, as it seems, has some pretty intense psychological-existential issues. There is 'Tsubaki's owner who's quite unfriendly and apparently mixed with the underworld. There are also a few other female characters like the bar hostess-nude model or the investigator's own wife with whom he's obviously separated but as it seems they still care about each other in a peculiar way.
Etsuko Ichihara as the missing manager's wife
Our hero is patient, he goes through quite a few strange situations, he's smart and apparently he's also experienced. He seems to know how to get his way through facts as they turn up in the first place. As previously mentioned, he doesn't trust anyone except his prime instinct. His assumptions include everyone he meets. But is this enough to finally get him somewhere safe, anywhere near the missing manager's traces or, at last, what really happened to this man and why? Nothing is that simple as Teshigahara's main character is always human at his very core and has weaknesses along with his powers. Thus I comprehend that the key in the missing person's case is given by the actions we watch (either learn) taking place by the people that surrounded him. For instance, in a particular sequence, the subordinate from the oil company calls the investigator in the middle of the night from a telephone booth, in a desperate and hopeless mood. In the previous sequence, we have watched the detective having an interaction with him where he openly calls him a liar over some nude photographs. which the subordinate has under his possession, pointing that they were taken by the missing manager. He confesses his desperation through the phone and then commits suicide while the main character is on the other side of the line. He sounds confused and psychologically broken down. Is this some kind of hint about the missing manager's psychological state and, furthermore, is this scene linked with a possible suicide he may also have committed or was driven to commit? And moreover, did the subordinate blackmailed the missing person with these photographs? Did he end up feeling guilty about something he did? What exactly was the part of this man approaching our main character only to make him a witness in his suicide attempt? Finally, was his behavior driven by his own personal desperation or is there a connection with the investigation…Teshigahara carefully (and constantly) tickles our minds as we move further into the film, revealing small details about each one of his background contact,s but I wouldn't like to go any further that line. We know this isn't the core found in our story. Nevertheless, these mind games are still present within the film, remaining open for anyone to participate in their own will. I assume that Teshigahara's motive is to give us the part of the observer. We end up observing the main observer which is also the main character.
Teshigahara's characters tend to have this characteristic in every single of his films. People are determined for the best, they care, they worry, they wander and they constantly observe and think, but there are quite a few worries which concern them. The law of nature interferes (whether this is a post modern industrial landscape, a village or an isolated desert space) and most certainly it is more powerful than certain aspects of their individual personalities. Abe and Teshigahara have this gift of letting their 'heroes' loose on interpretations, giving them space to drift, mentally and physically. At parts, they seem static but they are not. They change. We get the impression that the influence of Antonioni, the absolute master of poetic, endless drift is present throughout their cinematic point of reach. I think that one of Antonioni's most riveting masterpieces, 'Blow up,' shot 2 years earlier has a few things in common with 'The Man…'. Here we watch a huge variety of shots and even domestic shots create a certain depth. The use of close–ups is limited compared to their previous features, so it's clear they also set limits. That's when the characters get involved with the environment that surrounds them and they get seriously affected. This is brought in the form of some kind of hallucinations that take place within their minds, defying their mental states, but our cinematic reality as well. Subsequently, this is when Teshigahara brings his surreal, avant-garde vision up front.
Continue to the next page
Another element which is present in Teshigahara's and Abe's approach – also in this particular work – is the sexual tension developed as a motive or as one of the basic instincts within the realm of these characters. In 'Woman In The Dunes' for example, I get the impression that sexuality is presented in quite a straightforward as much as in a poetic way. This serves perfectly the visual landscape, which is masterfully designed frame by frame by Teshigahara and his team. On the other hand in 'The Man…' sexuality is a bit of a mixed bag. It works through the story, though. It's almost everywhere but it has evolved into something more complex and the motives are a bit darker. Feelings seem colder with people in the state of confusion. Teshigahara deals with sexual substitutes. As previously mentioned, there is a case of nude photographs, which, to be honest, is a bit hazy about what is going on there. The victim's wife, performed with surgical precision by Etsuko Ichihara, doesn't have a single problem to open her arms after she's taken care the main character's wounds, who, by the way, is investigating the disappearance of her husband. We get the impression of a spider woman who waits for her victims to get vulnerable in order to possess them, but at the same time,she seems so careless. Her-as it seems-brother who has the short but crucial appearance in the case, declares that he is a homosexual involved in a sex trafficking net with young boys and girls. The missing person's colleague has this urge to interact with a bar hostess but he can't, due to financial reasons. I believe these reasons seem more psychological in his case. Each one of the characters has intense sexual instincts present throughout the film, a fact which opens another 'door' about the not so innocent, but clearly sexually driven turn of the case our main character is into. I can also assume this is a straight comment towards the Japanese society, regarding sexual oppression, which comes as a result of enormous psychological pressure in a amazingly competitive environment on the rise back then.This comment is not presented in a vulgar or exploitative manner, but lots of sexual innuendos point towards it. These elements end up confusing our 'hero' instead of shining a light on his path. Nevertheless, these facts are presented in a human way so they don't fall out of place. They surely add to the overall frustration. Let's not forget that in 1968, sexual revolution is a really hot topic. There is no way that artists with the cosmic perception of consciousness that Teshigahara and his partners shared wouldn't express their point of view. To be more precise their collective was like a nursery for even more daring minds like Terayama for example, to be nourished.
Takemitsu's wonderful score plays its own part, quite discreetly, but as always it's thoroughly effective. The German symphonic parts are narrowed but always present as they evolve, mixed with ambient vocal parts during the opening titles. There are also melodic parts trying to fit the mood of a 'film noir'. Then again, the cityscape, which perfectly serves as the sound of confusion, becomes a passage regarding the state that our main character is heading to. The ambience is always evident. Takemitsu is an absolute master of improvisation and he knows how to flip the mood instantly, he knows how to mix his sounds and he definitely knows what Teshigahara needs to deliver through his sequences. His score, along with Uehara's cinematography, truly shine all over the film. I've respectively read opinions about 'The Man without a Map' which say the big fault of the film is found in the hasty cuts and this is the suffering point of the film, this is why we can't get something equal with 'Woman in The Dunes'. I don't have the impression that the collective meant to deliver another 'Woman…'. These jumping cuts, the editing which follows the investigator, sequence after sequence, became one of the reasons why i felt 'confused' throughout the whole film, almost 'lost' within the flow. Moreover, I found a reason to believe in this character and why he fell in such a state in the end. It completely worked within my perception. This team knows exactly what to do, they know exactly how to mix their cards, where to blur the boundaries and where to let the pacing a bit loose. The whole mix seems right even if they have to distress us a bit.
Here is a part of the soundtrack composed by Takemitsu:
All I can think is that 'Man without A Map' is quite a different film from their previous three collaborations. In fact my opinion, is that each of the three previous films has its own personality and this is what happens in this case. Three artists which weren't afraid to experiment with various forms, some more austere, some more 'open'. The real wonder though, is that they succeed in forming a single body of work in the viewer's mindsets, at least those who appreciate finding themselves in such filmscapes. They become faceless. When we talk about Teshigahara's direction, we read through Abe's thoughts, we listen Takemitsu's avant-garde soundscapes and we definitely watch the characters moving in Uehara's amazingly shot landscapes, practically diving into them, at times losing themselves inside them. This happens through this supposed 'quadrilogy'. At the same time, they succeed in keeping their individual trademark, their personal vision and first rate skills, which followed them ever after, purely intact. Therefore, I believe this is the meaning of what we may call the quintessence of an artistic collaboration. When artists are bound to achieve such bonds, mostly good things happen, with moments of genuine originality mixed with a number of influences while showing the way to the future. For instance, there are moments we can see expressionism mixing with Noh theatre and Kafkaesque references. We watch cubist compositions and avant-garde techniques blending with the-in depth-examination of human psychology that Bergman and Antonioni mastered in their own unique way and the deeply humanistic but also clinical surrealism Bunuel mastered. All this mix creates such an interesting cinematic universe, which, until today, is dramatically effective, at least for a number of viewers and creators. Moreover, we see their own deeply profound and amazingly creative questions that keep imposing in a variety of backgrounds, but always in touch with what we call human nature. This trait exposes a plethora of human instincts and thoughts within the organized chaos of a modern industrial post war society like the Japanese one was during the 60's. Each one of the great Japanese film masters, writers, poets and painters made their point on this certain issue. This is also an issue which always has been and keeps remaining universal in the end.
The final scene where our 'hero' is talking to a deformed, run over corpse of an animal on the street is such a masterful one. The man, in a state of full distress, has a monologue in which he is trying to give an identity to something that no longer practically exists. This happens exactly just like the object of his investigation and moreover himself. There's no doubt he went through a transformation. The landscape seems altered, almost like an unidentified threat. The society changed and mankind as well. It was a time things were transforming and humanity was seeking a brand new identity, in most cases more than one. This question was imposed 5 decades ago and I think it remains extremely relevant. Given the chance, by this magnificent closing scene, which sums up as the ending scene of Teshigahara's and his collective's body of work, to describe it with a couple of words, all I can think of is: transcendentally cosmic.

In their continued search for depth at wide receiver, the Jets are working out former Ravens WR Quincy Adeboyejo, reports Ian Rapoport of NFL.com.
The 24-year-old has played in one career regular season game, with that appearance coming for the Ravens in 2017.
Adeboyejo went undrafted out of Ole Miss in 2017 before signing with Baltimore.
During his career at Ole Miss, he had 106 catches for 1,454 yards and 11 touchdowns in 51 games.
New York recently worked out Dontrelle Inman and made a "very attractive offer" that Inman was impressed with, but he chose to sign with the Chargers instead, according to Rapoport.
The Jets' WR corps is expected to be anchored by Quincy Enunwa and Robby Anderson, with Jamison Crowder, Josh Bellamy, Deontay Burnett, and Tim White among their depth options.

Day 537
Chapada Diamantina Trek Day 2
We were supposed to leave at 8:00 this morning, so I got up at 7:00 in anticipation. Frequent camping on this trip has put me in the routine of getting up, putting away my sleeping bag and mattress, cooking and eating breakfast, cleaning my pots, taking down my tent, and packing everything in an hour without rushing. I was pretty annoyed when 9:00 rolled around and some of the others in the group still weren't ready to go. All they had to do was put away their sleeping bags and pads and eat the breakfast that was already cooked for them by the guide, so I couldn't understand why they would possibly need over two hours to get ready. I'm not just complaining for no reason, either. Sometimes temperatures can get unbelievably hot by 10:00 here, so I think it's best to leave as early as possible when it's still cool.
Luckily today the weather cooperated and the hiking was easy. We reached our campsite after hiking only one hour on fairly flat ground. We put our backpacks in the caves and began walking upstream toward the bottom of the Cachoeira da Fumaca, the highlight of the trek. It was an easy two-hour walk to the waterfall. Along the way, we spotted a small constrictor snake, a lucky sight because it was resting on a flat rock, making it easy to spot.
The waterfall itself was incredible. At 420 meters it's the highest waterfall in Brazil. Underneath, there was another big cold pool of water for swimming. We had lunch, enjoyed the location for awhile, and headed back down to our campsite.
Camp was once again in a great location and there still wasn't any rain to ruin anybody's night. However, the atmosphere wasn't festive like it was last night. I think most people didn't get much sleep last night in the caves on their thin rented foam mattresses. Everyone went to bed early tonight to try and compensate, but that just means laying even longer on the hard rocks. I was really glad to have my tent so I could sleep on the soft ground outside the caves. Sleeping in caves sounds great until you actually do it.

We're just two weeks away from the Royal Rumble event, and emotions are running at an all-time high in the WWE locker room. After The Authority unceremoniously fired Dolph Ziggler, Ryback and Erick Rowan last week on Raw, the entire roster is seemingly in a constant state of unease — many fearing for their jobs. Will other Superstars, including Authority enemies Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns, face severe consequences for their defiance this week? What awaits as WWE's flagship show emanates live from New Orleans, the site of WrestleMania 30? WWE.com has some ideas.
1.) Who will be punished by The Authority?
On SmackDown, Roman Reigns was faced with a difficult decision: Either he face Seth Rollins and Big Show in a Handicap Match, or find a partner knowing that whichever willing ally he chose could face repercussions from The Authority. That ally would be revealed as Dean Ambrose, Reigns' former Shield compatriot who helped the powerhouse defeat Mr. Money in the Bank and the giant in the evening's main event. Indeed, The Lunatic Fringe isn't afraid of danger — just watch one of his matches against Bray Wyatt if you need proof — but his prior precarious entanglements could very well pale in comparison to what awaits this week. Will The Authority seek vengeance against Ambrose? Also, will Reigns' continued opposition to Triple H and Stephanie McMahon affect his momentum headed into the Royal Rumble Match?
2.) Which Superstars will join the Royal Rumble Match?
A number of Superstars have already announced their participation in the 2015 Royal Rumble Match, including Roman Reigns, Daniel Bryan, United States Champion Rusev, Bray Wyatt and Intercontinental Champion Bad News Barrett. Among them could very well be the winner of this year's over-the-top-rope extravaganza, but the man who will ultimately outlast 29 other Superstars may yet be revealed.
With the opportunity to battle for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship in the main event of WrestleMania 31 at stake, the Royal Rumble Match on Jan. 25 marks the supreme opportunity for a Superstar to rise above their peers and earn a spotlight on The Grandest Stage of Them All. Who will join this anticipated bout? Perhaps more names will be announced this week.
3.) Will distractions hurt John Cena's chances to become the WWE World Heavyweight Champion?
Not only did Seth Rollins force John Cena to bring The Authority back into power on the final Raw of 2014, but the very next week, three members of the Cenation leader's Survivor Series team — Dolph Ziggler, Ryback and Erick Rowan — were handed their walking papers for openly defying The Authority and helping Cena (temporarily) remove them from power. Although Cena can hardly be blamed for the cruel machinations of Triple H and Stephanie McMahon, the guilt resting on the 15-time World Champion's shoulders must be unbearable. Yet, despite what's going through Cena's mind these days, he must now battle both Seth Rollins and Brock Lesnar for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship in two weeks at the Royal Rumble event. Will Cena's recent frustrations be a help or a hindrance as he prepares to not only clash with The Beast Incarnate, but the calculating self-professed "future" of WWE? Moreover, will Cena face even more obstacles from The Authority this week?
4.) Is Nikki Bella title regin in jepoardy?
At Survivor Series, The Bella Twins were united once again, an alliance made all too apparent when Brie Bella planted a kiss on AJ Lee to distract the titleholder and allow Nikki to capture the Divas Championship. Since that night, Brie has helped her sinister sis cling to the butterfly-emblazoned prize, even as Natalya has remained hot on her heels.
The Bellas' notorious two-on-one tactics were countered last Monday night, when Natalya found a new ally in Paige, the raven-haired rebel that's got the entire WWE Universe talking after her "Total Divas" debut. The Diva of Tomorrow helped Natalya pick up a victory over Nikki Monday night, and Paige went on to best the champion the following night on WWE Main Event, exclusively on WWE Network. After facing defeat twice in one week thanks to her "Total Divas" nemeses, are Nikki Bella's days as Divas Champion numbered?
5.) Is this the era of "Bad News?"
He's only been back in action for two weeks, but 2015 has been remarkably kind to Bad News Barrett. Just seven days after returning from injury, Barrett — thanks in no small part to The Authority — defeated Dolph Ziggler to become Intercontinental Champion an impressive fifth time. The brawler followed up his championship victory by announcing that he will be part of the Royal Rumble Match on Jan. 25, a bout that could catapult Barrett to the main event of this year's WrestleMania.
After facing a minor setback in the form of a loss to Sin Cara on SmackDown, Barrett's post-match mauling of the masked Superstar proved that the Brit is incredibly dangerous even in defeat. How will Barrett prove his dominance this week?
Tune in to Raw at 8/7 CT on USA Network, and be sure to tune in to Raw Pre-Show at 7:30 ET, only on WWE Network.

The functions and responsibilities of the Public Sector Commission (PSC) and Corruption and Crime Commission (CCC) changed on 1 July.
The PSC now has responsibility for the oversight of minor misconduct management by public authorities, as well as providing for ongoing education and capability building in the area of integrity. The CCC will focus its attention on serious and police misconduct and corruption.
From 1 July, principal officers are required to notify PSC of all reasonable suspicions of minor misconduct and the CCC of all reasonable suspicions of serious misconduct. Members of the WA community will now also be able to report suspected minor misconduct to the PSC.
Public Sector Commissioner Mal Wauchope said that the PSC and CCC had been working together over the past six months to ensure a smooth transition of functions.
Public authorities will have to modify their notification processes to accommodate the changes but both agencies are committed to providing resources and advice to assist with this process,' he said.
The new minor misconduct section of PSC's website is now live. It contains useful information, resources, fact sheets and FAQs that will assist public authorities and members of the public to understand the PSC's new role.
On Friday 3 July 2015, the PSC and CCC hosted a Joint Commissioners' Forum to outline their new roles under the new integrity landscape.

Iowa State University's Bio-Polymer Processing Facility, which involves research by Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering educators and students, has received worldwide news coverage in a recent article published by CEP magazine, a publication of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE). CEP is AIChE's flagship magazine and reaches more than 30,000 readers globally.
"Catalyzing Commercialization: A New Generation of Bio-Based Adhesives from Bioadvantaged Monomers," in the June, 2018 edition of CEP, describes the work being done at the facility by Iowa State and other researchers in the area of bioadvantaged polymers and a wide variety of applications where they may be used.
Among many other subjects, the article discusses how the Iowa State research team is working with other entities, including the Iowa Soybean Association, the U.S. Department of Agriculture and ten companies to evaluate soybean- and glycerine-based bio-polymers to be used as waterborne glues and pressure-sensitive adhesives – which includes scale-up efforts with a goal of generating hundreds of pounds of adhesive in the next few months; and work to produce full-scale wood panels for evaluation by major wood composite manufactures.
The article also discusses using a bio-inspired polymer instead of one that is chemically-produced that improves the quality of asphalts. The research will impact future production of adhesives, pavement products and much more.
The Bio-Polymer Processing Facility, located in Iowa State University's BioCentury Research Farm, was spearheaded by Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering professor Eric Cochran and Department of Civil, Construction and Environmental Engineering Gerald and Audrey Olson Professor R. Christopher Williams. It was commissioned in 2015 and saw its first successful production run of products in 2017. The facility is a one-ton per day biopolymer producing facility. It carries the benefit of "de-risking" the technology for companies that may be interested in producing large quantities of biopolymers.
