A blog for me to visually represent things that my mumble mouth and slow train of thought can't quite cover in conversation.

Console Gaming Accessories Have Gone Too Far

I remember a simpler time. A time when someone could buy a console, a couple of controllers and anything else you would want to buy would be another game. I find the Nintendo Wii to be the biggest culprit when it comes to exaggerated secondary controllers and accessories. In my experience owning a Wii I have come up with;


  •  3 Wii Remote controllers
  •  3 Wii Nunchuck controllers
  •  1 Wii Zapper
  •  1 Wii Guitar Hero controller
  •  1 Wii Steering Wheel
If this proves anything, it is that I am a sucker and a poor consumer.    I thought that this problem was contained in the Wii area, but I came across something in a Best Buy store that made me look like I laughed whilst drinking a Green Apple Bite Smirnoff Ice. It was a simple tripod legged stool with no back or no particularly comfortable looking cushioning being marketed as a Rock Band Drum Stool. I found the same product online to show you. The price listed is  26.89 EUROS on this site I found but God knows how much that works out in the trusty American Dollar(oonie).   But seriously folks , people are trying to market a chair for gaming. I have seen chairs for gaming before but they looked a lot more comfortable. They even had a back with speakers and shit. This is a fucking joke. Picture Below
