I'm sure we already have this thread and I can't find it, please ridicule me now.

This cool screen came out of CES... http://www.theverge.com/2012/1/14/27...-gaming-screen

Looks like fun!

I was looking for the link I posted here earlier and instead found this amazing gaming table. For the discerning DD player.

Now that is pretty damn sexy.

I have a feeling Tei might end up picking that up if he sees it.

DD? I assume that stands for Dungeondragon, the hot new game from Vietnam! :china:

That "Sultan" table is ridiculous. Awfully pretty. Requires a $4,500 deposit. Deposit! I'd probably be too paranoid to throw dice on the wooden top, they should have made it leather or felt. God damn. It does have a removable acrylic surface, though I wouldn't want to throw dice at that either. It'd probably be $800 to order a replacement.

The "ePawn Arena" is cool. I wonder how the hell much all those little pieces with microchips or whatever are? Reminds me of Skylanders. I'll have to ask my friends-with-kids-who-play-Wii about that one, I don't know how pricey Skylanders shit is.

Looking at some of the rest of the stuff at GeekChic now. Fun!

Oh look, best of both worlds! http://www.geekchichq.com/furniture/locus/

I play Skylanders with my 8 year old daughter. I saw the game kit with two characters and the "portal" thingee at Fry's for $60. You can buy a 3 pack of characters for $20, or a single character for $8.99. It's *brilliant* marketing. The more characters you have the easier it is to make it through levels because when one guy "needs a rest" (i.e. dies) you can just pull him off the portal and put a new guy on and pick up exactly where you left off.

I'm cheap, the guy at the store said it was "just like the original".

And yes, the locus is super cool. I wonder if you can play Pac-Man like those old table arcade games.

I might take a crack at building something like this during the summer

I got caught up in the Skylanders/EBAY craze, I figure I am down $30-$50 as the figures became available all over again in late January. If I had to guess, we are $250+ into Skylanders, and the kids won't play now guess Level 15 is too hard, and I don't have time to finish it for them. sigh..........

I see those tables at Gencon every year, the dudes who sell them have the biggest smiles on their faces by Sunday because they make a killing! What a job!

BTW, I have a Hex and Stump Smash N.I.B. for sale, pm me if those are rare in your area.
