There is one in Columbus, Ohio. Although I haven't been there. https://www.game-arena.co/

Where are you seeing praise for the Audeze? Most people don't have it yet. I've seen a lot of people say the microphone is crap and there are still a lot of bugs and features missing such as the ability to use your OS to change volume on your computer. They did say they were adding some features (like updating sound adjustment on OS) to a future firmware update. Just something to keep in mind. I'm personally cancelling my order. I can't speak for the Arctis. I'd suggest doing your own research and search for mic samples. Most places let you return headphones as well if you wanted to buy both and see which one you prefer.

I used to have the dt 990 pro 250 ohm. I was never able to drive it properly to my liking. I personally wouldn't recommend them.

I did some research on this not too long ago. I can share some links when I hop on my PC. This isn't an easy or instant gratification type of path but it will surely prep you for job ready skills. If you do this you will not need a formal education as what hiring managers are looking for is a solid portfolio, solid understanding of skills, and more specifically your problem solving ability while utilizing these skills.

I am almost second guessing sharing these materials as researching is an important skill to have and one you will utilise as a web designer/developer. I will share anyway just in case it helps you or someone else in the future.

EDIT:

Here is a list of links and some more tips.

First thing to learn for most people is Front End Development. I am not going to give you a definition but essentially it is what you see when you visit a web page.

I recommend you find some materials on basic design principles. I don't have links for this part as I come from a design background so I already had a foundation for this before moving to web design. This is a VERY important part, however, and it will give you an edge over your peers. It helps you understand why something is well designed vs something that isn't. This gives you the 'eye' for design if you will.

Next part is to watch these two videos which give an overview on the technologies that you will eventually come across and learn.

Web Development In 2020 - A Practical Guide - Traversy Media has a great collection of videos on web development but I recommend this video first.

Front End Web Developer Guide 2020 - whatsdev is someone I just found. I like his slow and methodical approach to learning. This is kind of what my whole comment is about. I don't know if I agree to everything he says in this but overall it will be a good video for you to watch.

Next step is the best learning materials. I would NOT recommend videos or hand-held materials (such as Treehouse) as it gives you a false sense of accomplishment. If you are like me you will follow the tutorial completely and then not really feel like you actually learned the material.

You will learn the most from the struggle. I can not stress this enough.

The best right now is most likely:

https://www.theodinproject.com/ & https://www.freecodecamp.org/

Those will let you go from beginner to full stack development. I recommend going for theodinproject and utilizing all of the 'optional' reading articles as well.

I also really like this guide ( https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/from-zero-to-front-end-hero-part-1-7d4f7f0bff02/ ) and it is VERY practical. It starts out with going over the tutorials on the Mozilla Developer Network(MDN) and then lets you get to the nitty-gritty of recreating designs in code. It also recommend a couple of tutorials from Codecademy which is okay if you only use this to supplement your learning (NOTE the tutorials are free - you don't need a subscription for the ones recommended).

I highly recommend going over everything the MDN gives you. This will give you a fantastic foundation for Web Dev.

While all of this is going on you might also want to learn a little bit about WordPress as this has a high demand for jobs and it is where I got my first gig. Not 100% necessary and you can probably pick up these skills fairly quickly.

Yeah go to YouTube and search for csgo box opening. You will find a ton of videos on streamers opening 100+ box's. Each take a $2.50 key to open. Sit down little man.
