Jhongerkong @ Jun 7th 2008 12:15AM

...I still cant comprehend how you'd sit on that

*OT: Just got off Planet Puzzle League online, friggin match took like 8 minutes

Jhongerkong @ Jun 7th 2008 3:59PM

Added both of you. Im online right now for the next hour or so.

Neebs @ Jun 7th 2008 12:22AM

What the...

Vegnagun bwf @ Jun 7th 2008 12:25AM

How do you get your leg around the seat to press the gas pedal and still maintain comfortability? Ergonomics be damned, this thing actually FIGHTS the body to deliver the least comfortability.

ben @ Jun 7th 2008 12:36AM

My guess is ass barely on the backrest, legs bowed around the chair and elbows on top of the chair. Doesn't seem that comfortable.

Phil @ Jun 7th 2008 12:56AM

This isn't a game enhancing mod...

This is someone who used duct tape to do something stupid and tried to pass it off as a good idea.

Phi Nguyen @ Jun 7th 2008 1:01AM

The only way you could make this more uncomfortable is to turn the chair UPSIDE DOWN!

License to ill @ Jun 7th 2008 4:47AM

Damn talk about a no effort design...

Kye - M-Kart Wii 0817-4620-2062 @ Jun 7th 2008 6:10AM

I take it they have no tables at home, only chairs?

Korova Pyro aspect @ Jun 7th 2008 7:23AM

It is very comfortable, if you are an octopus. You put the fishtank on top of the backrest and wrap the tentacles around the seat. I am guessing its one of those resident aliens, like in MIB

scott @ Jun 7th 2008 9:45AM

It looks like something you'd do if you didn't want your kids playing with the wheel when you were out.

mikem @ Jun 7th 2008 12:25PM

I think it's a way to replicate the feel of a Logitech G25 when all you got is the cheap(ly made) and measely Microsoft Wireless Wheel.

Jezreel @ Jun 8th 2008 2:11AM

The description at the source page certainly doesn't help at all. It's just a random string of words more than a poignant observation. The person who wrote that is definitely a researcher.
