Gamerator lets you play games while it makes you a beer

Gamerator lets you play games while it makes you a beer photo
     Things gamers do

You know someone's thought of everything when you realize that what you see before you is an arcade machine that dispenses beer. The Gamerator is just that: An arcade cabinet that contains a chilly kegerator in the rear, which holds approximately a 1/4 keg. It comes preloaded with 187 classic arcade games, although unfortunately you have to add your own beer.

In case you wondered, you can hook it up to any current game system on the market, and it will run those titles as well, including PC stuffs. It's knd of like the Dream Authentics cabinet ... except it makes beer. It really keeps coming back to that. It's listed on Ebay for a cool $2k, so if you happen to have a lot of free cash and want the bragging rights of inviting friends over for Arkanoid and brew, have at it.

Seriously, I'm convinced that some men's heads may explode when they read this. If I inadvertently kill your boyfriend/husband because of what he reads here today, I apologize in advance, and would like offer you my condolences. However, since reading Web site content is an example of free will, I must stress that I am in no way at fault, and the best thing to do would be to sign up for a Community Blog and describe my death in great detail instead.

The full listing of preloaded games is after the jump.

Sweet Jesus... Now all we need is one with a pizza oven and a built-in toilet and I'll never have to leave.

Nobody buys this crap. Anyone who could afford this beast could just buy their own higher quality cabinet and higher quality beer to enjoy instead of this monstrosity.

Frogger is a glaring omission here, but I’ll forgive them for including an amazing array of classic titles...

...and, of course, the keg.

The only thing I would add is a way to tap the keg directly into your mouth, possibly through some tubing and a nozzle.

I hate to harp on an invention so head-explodingly awesome, but those cup-holders look awfully small. How are the MANLY-sized beer glasses that the guys playing it will use going to fit in those puny things? :(

@ bluemeep: How about giving it optional urinal controls with the built in toilet like the ones banned in Belgium. Then it would be a complete system.

also, DO WANT
