WoW Pod for hardcore Warcraft gamers

The WOW Pod is an immersive architectural solution for the advanced World of Warcraft player that provides and anticipates all life needs. For gamers like you, it is simply WoW heaven. Everything you need from food to toilet is here. You no longer need to leave your seat to meet your real-life needs.

When hungry, the gamer selects a food item such as "Crunchy Spider Surprise" and a seasoning pack. By scanning in the food items, the video game physically adjusts a hot plate to cook the item for the correct amount of time. The virtual character then jubilantly announces the status of the meal to both the gamer and the other individuals playing online.

The exterior of the WoW Pod mimics the look of online game architectural structures whose swaths of flat, pixellated surfaces digitally recreate the built environment of an imagined past. But upon crossing the threshold and entering into the WoW Pod’s interior, the player finds the digitized look actually becomes the real life experience that World of Warcraft simulates.

Two pandarens meet for rounds and rounds of ale. With the aid of the drinks and a little help from Puck, one of them transforms into the Ultimate Storm Spirit - in his dreams, at least.

Note: Oh in case you're still out of clue, the last post Warcraft, Heroes of Azeroth was one of Blizzard's April Fools jokes in 2007. I wanted to feature something related to Warcraft III and I think that was the perfect one. WoW to WhoA. Cheers!
