Jun 5 2008Interactive Pong Table Reminds Me Of Air Hockey Minus The Air, Puck, And Paddles
This interactive Pong Table was constructed by German designer Moritz Waldemeyer for MOMA's recent Design and the Elastic Mind exhibit. The table uses 2,400 LEDs, two track pads, and the souls of old Atari execs to immerse players in an updated, and much more interactive Pong experience. Still reminds me of air hockey though. And speaking of which, I lost a tournament at the bar last weekend and had to eat the puck. It wasn't super, but it was better than the urinal cake.

Thanks to Tom for guiding us geeks to the greatness. But seriously, the pink ones are alright if you're starving, but steer clear of the blue ones, they're straight ass.

This is genius. They could have made the legs a foot longer but wait, wait you clever bastard. If the legs remain short, women who play will be bent over for extended periods of time. Fun for all.
Oh wait, the guys will want to play too? This thing sucks.

Looks nice, but can it support the weight of me and my neighbor's 16 year old daughter?
