Somewhere inside myself I always knew there was gamer furniture that extended from chairs and desks like this console gaming bean bag<\/a> or this weird light cycle-looking thing<\/a>. I just never really thought about gamer beds until this morning when a picture of a wild-looking bunk bed appeared courtesy of features producer James Davenport.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n As someone who grew up sharing a bunk bed and using a PC in the living room, something about that silly gamer bed spoke to me. I yearned for my own private space for gaming where my folks couldn’t tell me games like Diablo and Descent 2 were too violent and force me to read Encarta 96<\/a> instead. <\/p>\n I’m just imagining a nine-year-old Jorge attempting to somersault off the top of the Battle Bunk into my gamer chair and squeezing in a couple of rounds of Quake before being forced to shower and head to school.<\/p>\n Image 1 of 10<\/p>\n Instead of a sick gaming rig in the bottom bunk, I just had my younger brother. No offense to Danny, he’s cool, but if there was a choice between making him sleep on the floor or keep PC gaming in the living room, I would’ve chosen the gamer bed every time.<\/p>\n Of course, a random Walmart listing wasn’t enough<\/a>. Now I’m fully invested in finding out everything possible about X Rocker, the company that has a full catalog of gaming beds and other gaming furniture, like chairs with built-in subwoofers. <\/p>\n Now while none of these beds scream ‘Apex Gamer’ like this incredible find out of Japan<\/a>, the promo video for the Cosmos, a bed with an RGB headboard, is so flashy that I would’ve demanded my parents buy one. Upon further digging, I saw the UK-side of the X Rocker retail sells this beauty.<\/p>\n The Battle Den<\/a>, which sort of looks like a form of gamer jail, and the Cerberus<\/a>, where the freaking TV pops out the foot of the bed, are both so absurd that they’d probably sell out immediately if they were available in the US. I mean, look at the Battle Den! Put a little curtain around the cutout and cover the mesh panels up with some Dragon Ball Z wall scrolls, and you now have a sick little gamer fort sure to be the envy of the eighth grade. <\/p>\n While I may be too old and big and dad-shaped for a gamer bed, not all hope is lost. One day, ten or so years from now, my son will come up to me and say, “Hey pop, I think I’m ready for a gamer bed.” And I’ll reply with tears of pride in my eyes, “Battle Bunk or Battle Den, son?”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Somewhere inside myself I always knew there was gamer furniture that extended from chairs and desks like this console gaming bean bag or this weird light cycle-looking thing.
