exactly my idea!
Looks Geiger'esque with the spine though, I'll give it that.

CES 2009: Behold my future gaming throne
You know what I'm going to do once I've become disgustingly wealthy because of my highly literate work on a major gaming blog? I'm going to buy one of these chairs, sit down and never stand up again for anything ever. This is an Emperor Workstation, and mere words cannot properly describe its glory. In addition to the three 19" synchronized displays, it comes equipped with a 5.1 surround sound system (using BOSE speakers), a lamp which simulates natural light to reduce eye strain and a freakin' air filtration system. The plush leather seat can be adjusted in three locations as well as tilting the entire unit back or forwards for maximum comfort using a touchscreen control panel. Oh, and did I mention that the thing rotates? Yeah, it comes pre-programmed to turn 360 degrees over an eight-hour period in the event you've positioned it near a window and need to avoid irritating glare from the sun. And the monitor arm retracts to let you out of your awesome alien pod in the event that your house is on fire and you value your life more than the chair. The Emperor is not cheap by any stretch of the imagination and retails for just under $40,000. So let's get those pageviews crackin', folks. My La-Z-Boy is looking a little ragged and I'd like to replace it with this bad boy as quickly as possible. Tags:#CES Did you know?

Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)i bet if someone actually came to that company with $40000 and said "i want one" they would come up with every excuse in the world to make sure you dont buy one You know what I'm going to do once I've become disgustingly wealthy because of my highly literate work on a major gaming blog?

exactly my idea! If that thing had legs and arms that could be controlled by brainwaves then I'd be all for just becoming a head in a machine. Looks like one of those wheeled vehicles from the clone wars, you know... only white. and not as big. Nice. Yet another incentive to sit on your ass all day and not accomplish anything of merit. 40,000 is a college education, a down payment for a house or car, a trip around the world - almost anything would be better than a chair that perpetuates false accomplishment.
