I love the idea... but something just feels off as far as aesthetics goes. He did a good job making use of the space in a practical way, but it&#x27;s still just a bit different.<p>It looks like a LAN party as reimagined by a complete different culture than what you&#x27;d expect.<p>It&#x27;s like when EDM and hip-hop artists do things from SciFi&#x2F;fantasy, and the whole audience is stoned, and you think it kinda seems like a filk circle or something, but it&#x27;s not quite.<p>Or when someone tries to make a themed bar, but actually they play the same loud music as the next bar over, and they serve the same $24 bloody marys.<p>I wonder what it&#x27;s actually like to party there. It&#x27;s a pretty cool testament to the diversity of gaming for sure.

Works like the exceptional Cap&#x27;n Proto prefigure this old great &amp; glorious real world hack, but this gaming house definitely was an idea floated into the world that connected with - I&#x27;m sure - many many people.
