It’s Not Like Arcade Cabinets Grow On Trees…

I hope the tree that was cut out of had fallen naturally (i.e. age/storm/lightning/etc). Would not like to think that in these days of eco-friendliness/defensiveness(?) that someone actually cut a poor, helpless, harmless piece of nature to make that thing.

@SanjiX: You said a Japanese word. This makes you unique and interesting to everyone but me.

@stayoutofthecatbox:

Meh, I thought that joke was kinda wooden. Time to go back to your roots?

@SanjiX: I didn't realise at first, but I see it now. God, I need Tekken six noww.

Seems someone decided to turn their cabinets into a cabinet.

Dohohoho.

Meh. Call me when they gut a huge section of tree trunk and build a WORKING ARCADE CABINET in it. :P

@Lion: How? There's no joystick!

@SanjiX:

Well, the bear would make more sense.

Gameboom is a horrible game. Last time I tried it I couldn't even get past the first screen. And the controls are so stiff.

I'm sure that wood work fine

Was I the only one reminded of the Tekken 3 wooden arcade deck from the Mokojin CG movie? I wouldn't mind playing some Tekken 3 on some wood... ha ha ha.

That's awesome.

Apparently the people that made that are some kind of Dutch modern art / living art team. At least, that's what I could gather from the Dutch language site.

it better not overheat

@Kenny: That would be correct.

Splinter Cell arcade cabinet from Soviet Russia! lol

Sorry I'd rather not. I'm too afraid that I won't get anything for my money on that arcade pine.

@stupid_mcgee: uber pyro > zerg rush: You can use your own wood as a joystick!

@ShadowOdin is sad he missed Wyatt Cenac's visit to Sweden: *nods in respect*

@ShadowOdin is sad he missed Wyatt Cenac's visit to Sweden: You sir, have made my entire day worthwhile.

I swear, I'll hunt down and personally PUNCH in the groin the first one who pulls a "Up thar in Canada, this is what gaming's all aboot, eh?"

Otherwise, funny picture :)

@ShadowOdin is sad he missed Wyatt Cenac's visit to Sweden: Try the "axe" controller.

I want one of these and a lawn gnome to place directly in front of it.

I like my arcade machines rough around the edges. Rawr.

I bet it takes wooden buttons instead of actual tokens.
