The mother of all game desks
Japanese companies have historically employed a unique nomenclature in their game products. Think Pac-Man, GameBoy and, when they tired of human references, Pokemon.
But with the "Roccaforte," they hit it spot-on. We have no idea what the name means, but to us it conjures images of something formidable or even gargantuan--both adjectives that can describe this monstrous game station, which can apparently accommodate three monitors, at least two joysticks and all manner of peripherals. (More photos here.)
Kotaku says the set-up is made by a Japanese company called M-S-Y and retails for $500. That's just for the desk, mind you, but game aficionados might still find this a fair price--especially if they live in Tokyo or some other place where space is at a premium.
ask your colleagues John falcone and Candace Lombardi. A very free translation from the Italian could be "hard rock". Probably this was the first idea. Later, the words switched languages, preserving the underlying concept.

I'm here again. I thought this twice. But I can't accept that a tech expert / journalist can adduce ignorance about a meaning, having in mind today's search and translation state of the art.
I can imagine that gives a kind of teenager cool touch. Do that better. Looks very poor.
Best regards,
