Mom installs 98-inch screen in son's ceiling, inspires lifelong neck pain
It's hard not to be impressed by the gaming setup seen "above." It was conceived by one Patti Deni, who had the 98-inch screen installed in her son's ceiling as a (helluva) surprise. The setup -- comprised of a projector and some reflecting mirrors -- weighs over 300 pounds and required the ceiling to be re-framed and reinforced. The project, which special wiring so that Deni's son can connect his computer and game consoles -- has garnered a Home of the Year nomination from Electronic House magazine.While Deni claims that the screen is viewable from "just about anywhere," we'd be remiss not to note that any seating position would still require that one look up. We just hope she had the foresight to buy some nice neck pillows (hopefully not of the fuzzy green variety).[Via Engadget]
Video: Super Xbox Fanboy's dungeon of terror
Let's get one thing straight. We are Xbox 360 Fanboys, but we're not, you know, fanboys. We're all for extravagant gaming setups. Hell, we helped create one. But this ... this defies description, and frankly we're not sure how we missed it (it's been up for two years, apparently). In the video above you will see the Xbox 360 room of an extremely dedicated man. You might be with him while he's showing off the 360-themed paintjob. You might be willing to follow him along when he shows off the built-in mini fridge. You'll probably be losing him around the time you see the furniture covered in neon green fur. But for us, the abject terror set in when he turned on the green LED lights, giving the whole room an eerie, otherworldly glow.It was then that we realized this is no game room. This is a dungeon. This is where someone stores you while he prepares to make a suit out of your skin.[Via poeTV]
