Acer announces absurd-looking Predator Thronos gaming chair

[Patapuf]

What is it with these ugly "gamer" stuff? Do "hardcore gamers" actually prefer this edgy shit over normal/premium looking ones?

I have to admit that i like glowing shit.

Not enough to plaster it all over my living room but a gaudy keyboard glowing in rainbow colours...

Flashing lights isn't the issue here, it's the bulky, literally edgy cheap design of "gamer" merchandise. It looks awful.

 

[Lowrys]

What a piece of shit.

It is an ancient Greek word that literally means sitting in a chair. (from "θράω")

Also the Greek God of thrones.

I have come to like tacky stuff like this, I would never own it because I'm poor and if I wasn't I would have to have the decor of the room match it at least somewhat. Like black table/furniture etc.

 

[rsfour]

Looks perfect for Star Citizen

 

[Jraphics Horse]

I wasn't expecting this absurd. It looks like something that should have active hydraulics, but just has ''motorised seat adjustment" because of course you need that.

 

[plagiarize]

That's $6000 dollars of monitors in the pictures. I mean, sure you could put cheaper 27" monitors on your gaming throne, but then... why would you buy a gaming throne to put cheap ass monitors on?

People hate it because they can't have it （￣へ￣）

On the billion-to-one chance that I ever become rich, I hope I have better taste when I buy expensive stuff lol.

I read Predator Thanos gaming chair and thought we were getting the crossover of the century.

Lol that's what I thought too

 

[Deleted member 4093]

Yall shitting on the chair but look equally as silly wearing your VR helmets lol

 

[Deleted member 45617]

You people who hate gamer merch piss me off...and it looks like youll all give me just enough EXP to level up...kid...

 

[Wowfunhappy]

If I had unlimited amounts of money, and unlimited amounts of space, and didn't care one iota about the aesthetics my living environment, it might be fun to buy something like this.

That's a lot of qualifiers.

 

[sibarraz]

I love this Bulky unnecessary shit

Like if I were extremely rich I will totally buy it just to use it thrice at best

Equipment for TRUE GAMERZ is so fugly, it blows my mind

 

[Ebullientprism]

I think its kinda cool. I wouldnt buy it but I can see the appeal.

 

[Lump]

People always think these are a good idea, then the slightest shift in weight or mouse movement causes the monitors to wobble and then the regret hits.

 

[Starviper]

So completely unnecessary but I kinda want it lol

 

[Chopin the Third]

Looks like one of the games in an arcade.

 

[Crayon]

 

[Roshin]

People will complain, but I like that there is a market for these things.

Real gamerzzzz have a sense of aesthetics that stopped evolving when they were around 8 years old.

I am laughing so much, WTF is that?

Reminds me of the F-Zero GX super duper deluxe version. Reminds me of arcades in general. Cool to me.

 

[Abstrusity]

For the price of ONE of those monitors I could build a 2-axis 360 degree rotation cockpit. For the price of the whole system I could bump it up to 3 axis and still have enough money to build a gaming PC with the best parts on the market :(

THANK YOU! These people would understand if they had robot ears.

I thought of JP's rig as well.

 

[orlock]

yeah, i mean im certainly not opposed and im still childish (if you like) enough that the idea appeals to me. but, like, if i had the money to blow on something like this, id just use those funds to build a fuckin cool ass gaming mech cockpit i can climb into and close and shit. if im gonna live my dreams, im goin all in.

 

[Deleted member 2317]

A fool and their money easily parted and all that. What an abomination.

 

[Dennis8K]

If you don't get this you don't deserve to call yourself a PC gamer.

 

[Deleted member 11093]

That looks nothing like Thanos' chair.

 

[Chip Chanceworth]

OP is missing a key piece of imagery of this chair in its full action.

 

[Brunire]

Going to make for an embarrassing trip to goodwill in about 8-10 years.

 

[LordofPwn]

is there a reason why accessories aimed at "gamers" always look like a stealth bomber carrying LEDs flew into a plastics factory?

 

[Khanimus]

I'm so glad this exists so I can point and say "look at this stupid thing."

 

[Dennis8K]

Getting ready for Cyberpunk 2077 to hit.

 

[Dennis8K]

It is a conversation piece.

And when you have a girl over she will no doubt want to sit in it.

 

[Waffle]

Besides the sci-fi weird alien tech design thing going on... if I was filthy rich maybe I wouldn't mind something like this. I mean why not?

[Strangelove_77]

I'd be so embarrassed if someone found my body in that thing after an autoerotic asphyxiation gone wrong.

 

[Listai]

This chair is like a chastity throne - I can't imagine any relationship surviving once you step into this thing. You'd emerge to find a note from your S.O on the fridge.

 

[Grylvak]

With this kind of device, I kind of wish the monitors came with the chair. Hell, the PC even. Throw it all together and if I have the money, i'd go for it.
