A new low...

G.I.R. · 03-03-2005, 09:34 AM

We all know about the /pizza command from EQ2. Well, ThinkGeek.com has now raised... or should it lowered... the bar for all those gaming obsessed people who don't want to have to leave their desks ever again. I give you...

The latest in Internet Technology!

Very soon we will never have to leave our desk again. Oh glorious day.

Honestly this is really really stupid. Are we that imbued with our gaming that we refuse to ever move again?

Sooner or later, they are going to develope a still-suit, a la Dune, so that you never have to move to go to the bathroom, get a drink, or go to the fridge because it will be built into your desk.

The 'female adaptor' confuses and angers me on levels I cannot begin to understand.

Who the hell spends so much time on a computer and gets so into it that they simply CANNOT go to the bathroom? You have about a 1 hour grace period when you know that you'll have to go. I'm sure in that one hour you'll have a pause where you can say, "Hey, I'll be right back."
I have set up my laptop on a slightly modified desk so that I can still use it while on my exercise bike. That should be the wave of the future. Peripherals (mice, keyboards, etc) only work if you are moving some pedals.
This product is for dirty, lazy, pasty-white people.

I find that product HIGHLY offensive to my lifestyle as a gamer.

TO AAAAAAARMS!!

Rally men!! I'll get my 2x4 with the nail, and we shall smite the sinners for thier crimes!

wow... just the words "Female adaptor" boggles the mind. Everything should have a female adaptor.

Seriously though, this is just sad. Why must they tell you that it holds the same amount as a Big Gulp? what, are they trying to give you ideas?

That's what "brb" and "afk" are made for. You can't just disown them. Where will they go? Who will take them in? How do we know they will be taken care of? Think of the children!

That would be an experience, though. Taking a dump while fragging someone in CS. A whole new level of euphoria.

Just think of the banter that will go on with people going to the bathroom as they play.

On second thought, don't. I did, and now I have a desire to go find something toxic to inhale in the hopes of killing the braincells that thought of that stuff.

I think you guys are missing the joke. This is a jab at 1) The sedentary gaming lifestyle 2) The stereotypes (right or wrong) that ensue. This is a gag gift, and not something they expect people to use seriously.
