Aahaha
Who still uses CRTs?
I still use CRTs. I have three of them on my main desk at this very moment.
As for using a laptop from the toilet, well, that would entail getting up and waddling to the bathroom. For most WoW addicts, that is simply just not feasible.
Karen Chu must be creaming herself.
@ Oni : Summa and Chu are just going to have to have a debate on G4 about it.
I don't know how they can manage that. If I try gaming while lying down, it only takes a few moments before my heart starts to hurt. I'm not out of shape or anything, I do fine sitting or even standing (and rocking out a la Guitar Hero). Lying down + video games just doesn't come out right with me.
Slight flaw in the Wow Buyers plan, in order for them to get this (unless bought for them) the Wow adict would have to stop playing Wow long enough to buy it.
This is seriously retarded, over here we got that detox for video game addiction. And some guy who was treated there came on TV telling that he used to pee in a bottle while playing WOW, I can imagine if there more like him that this is a best seller. Still retarded tho.
That thing is fucking amazing.
Needs a toilet
All you need now is an IV tube, and one of those medical devices that breathes for you and you're set.
I hate to think what will happen if an earthquake happens and said CRT monitor crashes down on your fragile body.
hmmm... or you could get an LCD projector and a bluetooth keyboard and still have $1000 left over for a computer or a doctor's appointment to fix the bedsores
My favorite part about this shit is that whoever designed it made it big enough for only one person. I'm sure they assume gamers don't get laid haha
I can imagine that contraption in an earthquake and having the flurking monitor come smashing down right onto your face! why not just sit on the toliet with your laptop??
I'm not sure I'd feel very comfortable having a monitor strapped right above my head like that. I hope someone makes sure that's mounted correctly.
This thing looks very good for what it does, but I doubt I (or anyone else I know) would need or want this thing. It'd be very useful to the self-employed-at-home person, allowing more relaxation during their work, but for gamers it may not sell well.
@ Toneman
The main reason I use CRT's on my desktop (dual-head setup) is that the refresh rate is far better than any LCD can match, along with the ability to change resolutions to better suit specific games. I really notice higher refresh rates helping when I play Stepmania, because on the fastest and most rapid songs, 120hz really helps in following every single step, and 60hz (which is what my MacBook Pro displays with its 15" LCD) is only "adequate", but not "excellent", for high speed games. But there are higher end LCD's that have higher "response times", which aren't the same as higher hertz, so you can still get high end display through a LCD, but there's that issue of a fixed resolution which can never be remedied.
How fun would it be to have your muscles slowly die, due to atrophy and lack of hunger, due to extreme addiction. No really, it sounds fun to me. :)
