    Cozy Room Creates Secret Gaming Base for Adults

    Uh, ok. This is strange and cool at the same time. I am a bit claustrophobic so it is not something I could handle but it is just so strange and intriguing. Reminds me of when I was living with roomates, I used to climb inside of my closet and put on my headphones with my Sony Walkman [lol I'm old] to write and draw because it was literally the only indoor space I had to myself but even then, it was a walk in closet and way bigger than this.

    ... there are so many fetish flags in this thing I won't even bother to highlight it.

    Is there some kind of fapping utility indication that I am missing in the advertisement for this thing?

    Cozy Room Creates Secret Gaming Base for Adults
    posted on 2014-06-22 13:30 EDT by Eric Stimson


    Enjoy your hobbies in total seclusion

    Cozy Room, a Japanese furniture designer, has provided an innovative solution for anyone whose gaming center just isn't secluded enough. Kakureya ("hiding room" in Japanese) looks like a massive, bulky cabinet from the outside, but on the inside, there's a comfortable chair, shelves, drawers, a monitor hanger, and an LED light. The chair rolls out on wheels, allowing you to enclose yourself in a cozy gaming space — or study area, or movie theatre, or whatever use you choose to make of it.







    Collection racks allow you to store your baggage as well as your collection of choice.




    Monitor hangers let you enjoy your favorite movies — perhaps while enjoying your favorite tipple.





    Kakureya's enclosed space blocks out outside distractions, allowing you to work or study in peace.





    The solitude Kakureya provides also makes it a great way to relax with air fresheners and soothing music.




    Kakureya measures 120 centimeters wide, 125 centimeters long, and 150 centimeters tall (or 3'11'' x 4'1'' x 4'11''). As it is made to order, it costs ¥798,000 ($7,823) — but if it is mass-produced, the price will drop to ¥398,800 ($3,910). Production and delivery take three months.

    So weird..

    There is a certain amount of shame in being really into games or anime in Japan. I guess they made this for people who want to hide it all away from the world.

    That chair looks really uncomfortable to me.

    from what i can tell here in okinawa, if you're playing games at home and not in the arcade (which is huge and had sonic's ass all over it) and over a certain age, you're not working dat 14-hour work day. so yeah...

    Seems legit.

    I'll mirror what some of said about it looking uncomfortable, though. I'd also be worried about air quality and internal temps after a while. The room I play in at my home here is almost like 5-10 degrees warmer than the rest of the house, and right now I have the ceiling and a portable fan going, too. This room itself is like 13'x13'. So, while I can totally get wanting privacy, I'd never buy something like that. I'd just tell people to quiet down or GTFO if they're in my space.

    You would have to filter the vents outside of the living space. Not the hardest thing to do, just annoying. Also, no matter what it's used for, with just the few vents there is in that thing, it would get hot quick.

    What if this is really just an expensive suicide booth meant to weed out the social miscreants known as gamers and the moment they slide the chair into place, they've damned themselves to die...

    I'm just picturing landlords, police, and loved ones prying these things open, afraid to find some Korean kid dead after 48 hours' straight gameplay

    Wouldn't surprise me, given how suicide rates are among the highest on the planet over there. Moreover, their birth rates have been really low in the past couple of decades. Cull the ones that aren't likely to produce a couple of pups in the future, and in turn help cleanse the gene pool.

    Back on topic, that looks awfully claustrophobic. I definitely agree that thing is neither cozy nor secret.
