The Perfect Thing For Die Hard WoW Fans

 

For die hard fans of the game World of Warcraft (WoW), it's not uncommon to spend every available moment playing the game.  Some people spend more time online playing WoW each week than they do at work.  For these people, the outside world can be a completely annoying distraction that does nothing but take away from time in the game.  What these people need is a WoW Pod.

 

Designed to be a self contained, comfortable little isolation bubble from the outside world, the Wow Pod comes equipped with everything a gamer needs for those long hours spent grinding or raiding with groups of other people.

 

The WOW Pod is an immersive architectural solution for the advanced WOW (World of Warcraft) player that provides and anticipates all life needs.

 

Inside, the gamer finds him/herself comfortable seated in front of the computer screen with easy-to-reach water, pre-packaged food, and a toilet conveniently placed underneath his/her custom-built throne.

 

When hungry, the gamer selects a food item ('Crunchy Spider Surprise', 'Beer Basted Ribs', etc.) and a seasoning pack. By scanning in the food items, the video game physically adjusts a hot plate to cook the item for the correct amount of time. The virtual character then jubilantly announces the status of the meal to both the gamer and the other individuals playing online: "Vorcon's meal is about to be done!" "Better eat the ribs while they're hot!" etc.

 

When the food is ready, the system automatically puts the character in AFK ('Away From Keyboard') mode to provide the gamer a moment to eat. When the player resumes playing, he/she might just discover his/her character's behavior is affected by the food consumed in real life -- sluggish from overeating or alternately exuberant and energetic.

 

Wow, it even comes with a toilet built into your seat, so you don't even have to leave the pod to go to the bathroom.  Awesome.

 

I can only hope though that the folks who made this wonderful gaming tool will make a Star Wars version of the Pod once the new Star Wars MMO comes out.  That's definitely the one I'll be needing.
