Sep 23 2008Oak Bar Hides Sweet Video Game Setup

Let's face it, drinking and video games go together like drinking and firearms -- a match made in heaven. So why not build yourself a video game bar? This oak bar hides four joysticks in a fold down panel in the front (picture after jump), which are connected to a PC and the flatpanel on the wall. Not a bad setup, but I'm sticking to my shooting gallery. POW POW POW POW meow POW. Oh shit.
Hit the jump for two more pictures.

Thanks to Ray, who walked into a bar and had to be carried out.

DUDE. Best idea ever? Best idea ever!
...On second thought, friends don't let friends play drunk Street Fighter. Oh, the humanity...

FIRST !!!!2VADGRTOMFG!!
By the way, that's pretty awesome.

Tap, you fail, hun.

Pew Pew Pew Meow...awesome!
Not bad.
5. Thumperchica - September 23, 2008 11:57 AM
This is a cool idea, not cool as live Kitty PewPew, but cool nonetheless
6. Gingersnapz - September 23, 2008 11:58 AM
This is cool simply because you can change the bar to fit the crowd. If the bros are over, whip out them joysticks (don't be sick ) and if the hos are over, put them away.
And it would be greatly appreciated if no one pointed out how my comment sounds very homosexual.
7. Roberto Silva - September 23, 2008 11:59 AM
I think it need a bigger screen,
and wii controls :D

*points @ 6 coughing* *gaygay*
9. ohnoes - September 23, 2008 12:04 PM
The blue and red player are clearly cheating, because they have extra buttons
10. Madgame - September 23, 2008 12:06 PM
@ 6: your comment isn't as gay as your name
11. The Schuermannator - September 23, 2008 12:09 PM
Umm Amy, that's MK, not SF.
12. bar room hero - September 23, 2008 12:10 PM
Legit!
13. Foobar - September 23, 2008 12:13 PM
@6 - I'd appreciate if your comments weren't so queer. So we are both disappointed.
14. happymat27 - September 23, 2008 12:14 PM
awwwwww man, now I need to save for one of these too!
15. you know who - September 23, 2008 12:17 PM

16. Learn To Sell Porn - September 23, 2008 12:23 PM
@ 6 - That is a tough name to use when trying not to sound gay, and then you go and make a questionable comment, and you finish by not wanting to be called gay... that is the gayfecta in my book!
17. disco C - September 23, 2008 12:32 PM
^^^^^^
umm amy is HOT
18. Level 70 Undead Warloque - September 23, 2008 12:32 PM

@6 - Wanna come play with my joystick?
20. Miles - September 23, 2008 12:40 PM
Silly man-cave amenities.
21. Gingersnapz - September 23, 2008 12:41 PM
@19, wow. If you're going to jump on the band wagon, at least think of something a little more original then that.
22. Nick "Bobby" Boucher - September 23, 2008 12:57 PM
@21...I would have to agree...atleast say something like come over and push my buttons and fiddle with my joystick and lets see who comes up with a high score...or something damn hehe. nonetheless...great idea for a home bar...definately would need pong for this
23. the sysop - September 23, 2008 12:59 PM

25. Icon - September 23, 2008 1:24 PM
@23
Amy doesn't like dudes that advertise gay websites on every post. You fail.
26. happier than a fat man in pudding - September 23, 2008 1:43 PM
I am definitely in love with Amy...*sigh*
27. ahha - September 23, 2008 1:45 PM
Amy, do you like guys that are witty, smart, have a good job and would do nothing but try to please you?
I'm sorry, I'm not that guy. I was just wondering if that is what you like. I will go back to quietly admiring you from afar now.
28. chaosthirteen - September 23, 2008 1:59 PM
Amy, Amy, Amy.
Nothing else. Just had to say Amy. Cause I'm a whore for trends like that.
29. Matty - September 23, 2008 2:11 PM
27 - of course she doesn't.. did you read her first comment...? but in any case from what i can tell through my binoculars, shes way too cool for most of us here..
30. Icon - September 23, 2008 2:11 PM
Quick! Everyone grab a leg to hump!
31. random - September 23, 2008 2:24 PM
Gingersnapz will take the leg in the middle.
32. Amy - September 23, 2008 2:56 PM
@31: Oh crap, he knows........
33. AsianTom - September 23, 2008 4:04 PM

34. Enrique - September 23, 2008 4:11 PM
That isn't a bar, it's oak heaven!!
Oh, and gentlemen, *smirks*, if this is the Amy i know, not a one of us has the joystick she is looking for.
35. LSDiesel - September 23, 2008 4:40 PM
Good, because I have the power glove she has been waiting for right here!
36. Turd Ferguson - September 23, 2008 5:11 PM
Hey, leave Amy alone!! She's mine, assholes!!
Uh, Amy, want to go out sometime?
37. Hairyman - September 23, 2008 5:14 PM
Hey Amy, Turn Ferguson is gay. Not as gay as Number 6, but still..... Just thought I would warn you.
And @6, there was no way around calling you and your comment gay, just face it.
38. Turd Ferguson - September 23, 2008 5:22 PM
Hey Hairyman,
I told you to only look at it, no touching it. Don't be mad at me 'cause you can't follow the rules.
Amy, I'd take you to the cleanest Waffle house in town! You can get whatever $11.68 will buy!!
39. Icon - September 23, 2008 5:35 PM
Seriously, Amy. I have a huge crush on you and I get so pent up inside when other guys get your attention or hint that they think you're attractive. So please, only pay attention to me. And tell me I am very witty and clever and funny and stuff. Ok? I like you! Please like me! :)
40. Icon - September 23, 2008 5:53 PM
@39
Great. The impostors are back. Yay. Plus, Amy already knows I <3 her in a stalker/creepy way.

43. gamergirl - September 23, 2008 6:16 PM
@6
F*** that! I'm a woman and I LOVE video games. Just picked up merks 2 and it rocks! The hubby and I fight over who gets to play. He is stronger so he usually wins. Unless I whip out my boobs to distract him. So leave the controllers out for the ladies as well.
44. Icon - September 23, 2008 6:28 PM
Boobs, the ultimate geek distraction.
45. Test Tickles - September 23, 2008 6:52 PM
Merks 2? Yeah, hey, you have wonderful taste in video games. Id give up the controller for a pair of saggy t*** too if I were playing that game. lol oh man that was mean.
46. Test Tickles - September 23, 2008 6:54 PM
... and to "whip out" usually is referring to the male southern part. Unless your boobs really are that saggy that they could do a whipping action.
47. Antonio - September 23, 2008 7:43 PM
OMG! Why don't I own this??????? Will some wealthy person please buy this for me? Pretty please? Geekologie Writer? Maybe for Christmas. Or Hanuka/Chunnaka? Wtf. I can't spell Jewish holidays....
48. Icon - September 23, 2008 7:47 PM
I think it's spelled hanachonakamontana.
49. Thumperchica - September 23, 2008 9:20 PM
@46 - If you quickly remove any bra larger than a small C cup, they can whip w/o being saggy - poor boob deprived Test Tickles...
@ Icon - I thought boobs were just the ultimate disraction for men? Why limit that to geeks?
50. Daisy - September 23, 2008 10:26 PM
What a total fake.
That's like so out of Never Back Down.
51. Ginormagantuan - September 24, 2008 1:47 AM

53. thugging on the regular - September 24, 2008 6:40 AM

54. Test Tickles - September 24, 2008 11:13 AM
@49... i still disagree. i mean whip, like indiana jones style whip. poor small c-cup droop boobs Thumperchia.

57. Jen Lovee - September 24, 2008 12:43 PM
That is an awesome Idea...I love it. Is this a friends house? Or an actual bar?
58. poop - September 24, 2008 12:55 PM
oh GOD! amy just made me cum all over my own face!
i want her to sit under me and talk about leather while i cum all over her face. i'd have her shove a massive pink slippery dildo up inside herself and talk about how much she loves leather, while i cum on her forehead and into her mouth. oh god, that makes me so horny.
Ames, call me...
59. ShitBitch Carl - September 24, 2008 1:53 PM
@ 44
Everyone gets distracted by bobs, male, female, male-female, female-male, gay or straight. They're like god's way of saying "hey, procrastinate." Or is that procreate, maybe it's just "feed yer kids." Whatever, now I'm lost... oh, boobs, helLO down there.
I wish I was Amy.
60. tank - September 24, 2008 2:30 PM
nice idea, but the TV is too far away
61. gamergirl - September 24, 2008 5:03 PM

Wow. That is one angry response. If I didn't know better I would assume that you have some unhealthy problem with women. Oh wait I do know better and you do! Bottle fed!
62. Test Tickles - September 24, 2008 5:36 PM
Hey. Shut up.

64. gamergirl - September 24, 2008 7:34 PM

65. Ginormagantuan - September 25, 2008 2:26 AM
Gamer girl........ your boobs can get tangled? that would make for some crazy porn........ tie a mother f***er with them and shit......
