    Isn't that the chair in the retro arcade in Akihabara?

    See? 2nd and 3rd pictures

    I admit to having sat in it for a good while to get my authoritative-regal-gaming-pimp-Daddy on. Some random person took a picture of me in it. *baffled*

    When making this, how do you decide which games get used for the part where you put your ass?

    Do you go with the worst games or the cheapest games? #nes

    It is here I lay my weary soul,
    Upon the ancient tablets of ole.
    They tell of far lands and of brave men,
    In search of treasure and of lost kin.
    Who were they that freely gave their lives,
    To make from blood and tears these archives?
    With them a great throne I will amass,
    For I desire to rest my ass.

    When the next big Kanto earthquake strikes Tokyo, its my dream to be in Super Potato when it happens....being crushed by arcade cabinets, a life sized solid snake figure, a famikon throne, and various video game paraphanelia doesn't really sound like a bad way to go if you ask me... #nes

    @FarmboyinJapan: It would hurt just as bad if a load of other stuff fell on you instead. Being crushed to death, by anything, is not a preferred way to go, IMO. #nes

    "This is my Throne" I say as I gaze from my pedestal of awesome. A Virtual Boy is my crown and Power Glove controllers adorn my hands...

    A robe composed entirely of Gameboy cartridges and clothes made of the finest DDR dance pad cloth...

    I need not walk... My Wii Fit Balance Board wisks me where my will doth take me...

    Tsk! Kids these days! No appreciation for the old! Just look at this, so little respect for those ancient carts that he just sits right on top of them with no worries whether they'd break or not!

    On a more serious note, that's a great way to save space and create something functional at the same time! #nes

    Someday, when an alien species probes the leftovers of humanity, and they discover our ruins and greatest triumphs - I wonder, what will they make of them? What society will they construct in their minds about this chair?

    Personally, I hope it brings to them a new array of knowledge, and that they convert from whatever religion they follow, and begin to worship the Famicom. So say we all. #nes

    In reply to A Famicom Controller For Your Business Cards
    The culture surrounding business cards in Japan is SUPER SUPER strict....from who you hand it to, in what order, when you put it in a case, which hand you accept a card with, which hand you give a card with, and what you say when you receive/give one....there is a STRICT rule behind everything. Its so bad, that in one class in college, we spent an ENTIRE WEEK going over the BASICS of business card etiquette. And then once I got my job, we spent two 12 hour days touching on the finer points. One of my coworkers brought in a card case that was green (not the drab silver that is the norm) and was then told him that he had to get another one....that a green card case is not "correct."

    Sweet if youre in the industry I guess, though I would prefer something more professional if I was in something other than IT or engineering.

    Also,

    how does the Gawker network work? Giz covered this this very morning and it took almost 8 hours to be on Kotaku?

    Just curious, is all.
