Video Game System That Kicks Your...

from the literally dept

Force feedback devices in video games is nothing new at all. But, apparently, it's not enough for some people, who need to... well... kick it up a notch. Apparently, the latest video gaming accessory is a device called the Buttkicker that clamps on to your chair and provides a bit of force feedback to the chair to make your games that much more... shakingly real. Update: Okay, okay, I get it. Clearly, I need one of these to kick me, as this thing has been around for ages. The news article on it is new, however.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team

    Well, damn, I never heard of it. Can ya get corporate discounts? Sounds like a possible employee motivation tool: the butt kickings will continue until moral improves.

    The Gamer Version is new

    I've had a butkicker bolted into my floor joists for several years now, but the "Gamer" has just gotten out the door (although the gestation has been rather long. Watching movies with one is great--except maybe for chick-flicks.
