    Tables be damned, I couldn't get over that suit. I'm not sure how I feel about dressing like Jay Gatsby these days. But, to each their own. Go with god.

    a. This guy is dressed like and iodiot/Kanye West
    b. Aren't we in a recession?
    c. The popular games of the day (read post 1980, except uber nerds) require power outlets, video screens, and speakers.

    (b+c)*a = A miserable prospect for a startup

    Wealthy people that want this would just have it custom made.

    @Deez: So, because Dungeons and Dragons doesn't require speakers, power outlets and video screens, it's not popular?

    Fuck me, best go clear out all my board games. The lack of power must mean I stop enjoying them instantly. Dungeons and Dragons isn't just for the 'uber nerds', think before you speak. Remember, you're posting on a gaming blog for crying out loud, I can guarantee a good chunk of the community here play or have played D&D!

    @Ursus-Veritas: didn't mean to offend your sensibilities...I am a video-game nerd too...uber is a nerdy word to use...take it easy pal. Plus its not because of the power outlets that games are popular/not popular, but I just had the impression board games had largely gone out of style...I deeply regret my statement now.

    Problem is he didn't think about his target consumers.....
    Those who want the table won't be able to afford them, those who can afford the table probably have outgrown their phase.

    PS: gamerchic? that guy needs a better-cut suit

    Just finished watching the clip.
    He should've started with video gamers first to build a reputation, then advance into the niche market.

    @ergonomicuser: FYI, you aren't his target consumer.

    His target consumer is the guy who played D&D in high school and is now a lawyer, VP, CEO, or PhD.

    Remember that D&D has been going on for 35 years now. There are lots of hardcore fans that have hardcore 401k's.

    @Yossarian:
    See, now the question is whether those people will actually spend thousands on "pre-made" furniture for those.
    I for one probably wouldn't spend that much money after I graduate on a childhood hobby that's not very practical in the real world (ie, this vs building a basketball court)

    Another thing is, the designs themselves aren't very appealing either. With upwards of $2500, one can easily build a custom table like that if you know where to look.
