Remember the Unreal Engine 5 live stream a few weeks ago, where Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney was talking about triangles, meshes, and nanite virtualization geometry, as if it were a portal to another dimension, in the middle of the floor? I was distracted by a plasma ball placed in the middle of the floor, as if it were a portal to another dimension.

As you watched that stream, you thought to yourself, "If only there was some novelty item from the 90s that I could leave in the middle of the floor for no reason," we're here to help. And by "we" we mean Gamespot, where you can get the official Tim Sweeney's Office Zoom background for your next online meeting. There won't be anything on the floor that you can actually trip over, but a few co-workers may ask why you're putting that stuff there.

And if you're wondering why Sweeney would leave something like that, the answer is really quite simple: in a Gamespot interview earlier this week, he knocked over a Diet Coke right before the UE5 show started, so he "bought it at Spencer's at the mall He explained that he picked up a "plasma ball" and used it to cover up the mess.
