This is supposed to be for PC gamers.

I think it's a good idea, but with what I saw from here I doubt it's enough to be a great success.

It lacks some killer features and looks pretty basic for what it's supposed to be...

I hope someone picks this idea up and improves it...

What do you think?

I like the desk but I'm not so keen on that guys face.. it creeps me out.. The price is way to high for most to justify, including myself, so I wont be backing. Nice concept though, hope it does well and they find ways to reduce the costs.

Yeah I was wondering myself WTF this means, wether he is refering to a game or what?


He was paxsali from what I can gather but it made no sense and its a desk Very Happy, a desk ffs.. Maybe with his awesome witty marketing skills in the video he should of added.

I don't like the shiny metal. If I sit in my underwear or shorts etc. it will be ice cold to the touch or when a knee/arm touches it.

1.3 bunny hopping = counter strike.

Oww... I Am Disappoint

I was hoping for something more ... I dont know... bigger. But it defo makes sense now.


lol ya. It was gradually fixed in later patches so by 1.6 it didn't really do much for you. I Think you can still bunny hop but it's not like 1.3 where you could fly around the map like a jack rabbit on speed.

Yeah the point was did he actually fucking speak the words counter strike, because the initial mention of this was because it was not audible at all, sounded like he was gargling when he spoke that part.

Wtf do bunny hop's have to do with selling his desk shit anyhow.

It goes in relation to the intro when he said he's been a gamer for a long time. There were a couple games back then that were the absoulte biggest. Unreal Tournament and Counter Strike. Nothing touched them in popularity.

None the less the desk is crap. OCN did a great job picking apart all that's wrong with it especially anything audio related on it. Ports are notorious for going out from contant use and then having them face up on the face of the desk? Door or no door, that is going to get caked with shit and risk having fluids being spilled on it. What PC gamer doesn't keep a mountain dew or something on his desk lol. All those extra connections are just going to be a problem solving nightmare. Have a problem with your keyboard? You'll have to go out of your way to undbundle the cords from the desk and plug into your desktop to see if it was the desk hardware causing the issue.

Not to mention he ripped the logo off of the Airforce which has nothing to do with the desk. Couldn't even come up with his own logo.

 Spoiler:
 


As someone who works in fabrication. I saw close ups of the weld points and their amateur as fuck. Even the "finish" on the legs of the desk he's showing off is absolute shit.

The matting on top..that stuff wears out within a year...if he uses adhesive to put it on...good luck removing it from everything to put your own on.

Using welded steel. Shipping prices are going to be outrageous.

I could keep going but whatever, he's not going to get far with it. He basically took a piece of metal, added some features on it and said HEY LOOK! A GAMING DESK! ITS REVOLUTIONARY! Should replace the air force logo rip off he used and use an Apple logo

Unless he's using high quality parts, this desk isn't worth it.
