Hasta La Gadget!

That chair you’re sitting on right now–it’s nice, but is it really, you know, gamey? I mean, you don’t really plan on doing all of your gaming on that thing, do you? n00b. It’s hard to find good dedicated gaming furniture these days. Thankfully, professional gamer/licenser of video game-related products, Johnathan “Fatal1ty” Wendel, is on the case.

Fatal1ty has signed on with Southern Enterprises, a Dallas-based furniture company, with the intention to “develop and distribute a custom line of gaming furniture tailored specifically to the ergonomic requirements and performance enhancement features of gamers.”

So, what precisely are the needs and concerns of your average hardcore gamer? Says Fatal1ty, “I’ve played on a lot of different setups at LANs and tournaments and plan to build the ultimate experience in furniture for a gamer to dominate his world.”

Okay, well, that’s not really helpful. Let’s see what Southern Enterprises’ executive VP Dirk Brinkerhoff has to say about the matter,

It is our hope that our collaboration with Fatal1ty will enable us to create furniture gaming pieces that will provide enhanced capability and functionally, added comfort and ease of use, and that the combination of these features will ultimately enable each player who uses our Fatal1ty branded furniture to be a better gamer than they were without it.

Comfort and functionality, check. What about the cupholders?

The fruits of Fatal1ty and Southern Enterprises’ labor will arrive in spring of next year.
