Since when did video gaming require weird furniture?

January 15th, 2007 by Jeremy Toeman

One CES trend was obvious: digital picture frames. Saw em everywhere. Gonna be huge. More on another day.

Hm, wait, no, no. There weren’t tush-warmers. But I saw these goofy seats from a variety of companies across the show floor, and I have to say: I don’t get it. Relative to a couch, these bizarre chairs seem less comfortable and less convenient to game in. Am I just too old for this stuff?
