RumbleSeat, The Gamer's Loveseat

We've all seen the seats with built-in speakers, but they are severely limited. While a couch is multifunctional—prepared for an impromptu nap or make-out session—current gaming chairs offer a more narrow seated existence good only for one person in one position.

The $248.95 RumbleSeat offers vibrate-y gaming for two. While not hooking directly to your console, it will serve as an additional set of speakers for your television. And just imagine sitting next to your best friend after beating Army of Two, your rears sweating on the baby blue microfiber cover, the musk of another's Cheeto breathe entering your nostrils...good luck capturing that awkward sexual tension on a unicycle.

Gaming Chairs Evolve: Witness The Gaming Ottoman

One thing that the Consumer Electronics Show isn't lacking are adequate gaming chairs, the kind that gently caress ones bowels with a precisely placed subwoofer in an effort to "get you in the game." This year's CES will be no different, I'm sure, but it will bring at least one gaming chair advancement to the gadget-loving public's attention: the gaming ottoman. Known as the Boompod from Boomchair, it appears to pivot, in an attempt to appeal to the more animated, more spastic gamer seen in television commercials and print ads. Expect plenty of the annual gaming chair coverage you crave and have come to expect from Kotaku when we touch down at CES 08 next week. Rump-on impressions of the Boompod will be posted as soon as is humanly possible.
