Default The "Gamers Trough"

A local radio station in the Detroit has a show called "Deminski and Doyle" in the afternoons, and one of the hosts, Bill Doyle, is a gamer....and he might just have gone off the deep end!

Now the idea behind his invention is rather simple, we all know how hardcore gamers don't like to take a break from the action to eat (It could even be used by the ultra lazy gamer!)

Well stress no more, your prayers have finally been answered!


Above is the original prototype version, early testing showed the harness was too rigid, and that it was too low to "Scoop" the food with your tongue... unless of couse, you are Gene Simmons!

This also may right up your alley if you love the kinds of munchies that give you the dreaded "Orange Fingers" that gum up your keyboard and mouse.

Below is the new and improved version that was used recently during testing with a group of gamers live on the radio (Wich I caught!) with more improvements coming based on the suggestions given for the next revision.



If you would like to see more pics, you can find them at 97.1's website below

I love the guy for going for it, some may say he's visionary, others will think he's a complete nut job, either way, he's my kinda Inventor (Love the goggles! )

You know what the next thing they invent will be....
The first (modified feedbag) was for the top, next will be for the bottom (modified Depends).

Couldn't resist.

I dont think depends would go over well no gamer wants to sit in his own filth. But a modified chair done up similar to a portapotty and someone to empty it, now that might work.

Dummies...why don't they just get married? Then they can have someone bring them food 24/7 and never have to leave except to visit the bathroom.



































Aw damn it, who the hell am I kidding, that would never happen. Best thing a hard core gamer can hope for is that you can yell loud enough to your mom upstairs to toss a bag of chips down the stairs to you.
