This is pretty awesome IMO. Totally unaffordable in my little corner of financial reality - but still awesome.

It would be an absolute PITA to take to LAN nights but you can be sure of winning every game....since everyone else will be drooling over your chair  ;D

  Basically it's for people with more money than sense.  I could afford one, but I choose to spend my money on more conservative things.....  If I was forced to spend that much money in a day, I'd rather walk through the mall and give out $100 bills to people that need it than to spend it on something like that....

I hear ya...if I had a spare $21K to spend right now I'd probably use it to hire a few 'NGW refugee' instructors my GF knows and set up a summer music program for aspiring young musicians. 8)

LOL! ;D Although it's just a quick visit to an online dictionary rather than real research. ;)

Hmm.. good thing I didn't say cortège - although gamers would more likely prefer to travel with their coterie or better yet - in cavalcade!!! 8)

That's why I like the Google Dictionary Extension for Chrome. Just double click a word you don't know and a definition pops up. :Thmbsup:

I get nervous when the TV in the hotel room is suspended up on the wall. I keep waiting for that bracket to come loose and for the damn thing to fall on me just as I'm walking under it. (Not much danger of that now since I'm long gone from the hotel.. but I remember the paranoia every time I had to duck under the stupid thing.)  I think I'd be distracted waiting for the monitor bracket to let go.

What happened to the good old "hologram in front of your eyes" gimmick?  :)

edit: also I have to wonder if the chair section can be replaced with a love seat.  It sure would make watching porn, er, I mean, documentaries, more efficacious.

You're already late to the party. They've been developing teledildonics technology for several years now.

Not my thing. I prefer purely 'human biologicals' when I'm in the market for that sort of entertainment. But who am I to judge others?  ;)

This chair would still kill you in the (not very) long run. For this kind of money they should have built in a treadmill and a stationary bike at least...

it's impossible to say for definite from a photo, but it looks like the chair would push your head forward and down a lot.
Re health,
there is the option of learning to sit well without support (e.g. à la Gokhale with more further down the same thread).

Mind you, even with that, I've been doing anything lately rather than sit at a desk all day.
