Stress, anger, frustration
-
Most of us experience it and we all deal with it in our own special way
-
For example, in Britain everyone knows the best way to deal with stress is to make hand puppets and listen to Shout! by Tears for Fears
-
I should probably get out more
-
It turns out that in Japan there's a well known way of expressing your anger or stress
-
and there's even a really cool arcade game that deals with it as well
-
Chabudai Gaeshi is a phrase that literally means "to flip one's table"
-
Chabudai is not too dissimilar from this table, a short four-legged table
-
Japanese families sit around and eat dinner on it or put leaflets on it like I do
-
Typically it's seen as an act done by the father of the household
-
when he comes home from work, feeling a bit stressed
-
The kids are being loud and annoying, the wife is going blablabla
-
And so he has a bit of a violent outburst
-
and just flips the table
-
But fortunately this concept has been made into an exciting game!
-
Hope they've got insurance!
-
Chou Chabudai Gaeshi, which literally translates to
-
Ultra Table Flipping Game
-
So the game starts out with you sitting at the dinner table
-
The wife's preparing dinner, and the kids are being quite annoying, on their phones, making noises
-
And so you start banging the table
-
each time they do something annoying
-
I didn't understand this at first I thought you were supposed to keep banging the table continuously
-
Which is wrong don't do that
-
And then at the last 10 seconds
-
It's about a minute long
-
You flip the table as hard as you can
-
The wife gets the brunt of it
-
coz she's making her way to the table when the husband/father flips it
-
and you get to see the table make its way through your wife's face
-
in slow motion, again and again
-
The kids don't know what's going on
-
The crockery, ruined
-
Dinner, uh, forget about dinner
-
And what better way to get rid of your stress
-
...and your family?
-
I have to say its a lot of fun, I don't have a wife and kids but if I did
-
I can't imagine a better way to relieve my stress by flipping a table through them
-
But the table flipping fun doesn't stop there coz there are other scenarios as well
-
Such as: an angry teacher flipping his desk
-
a woman working at a burger restaurant
-
and even a funeral where you flip the corpse over across all the guests at the funeral
-
Probably the most disturbing one of the lot
-
You can even play against other people in a stadium style flipping table competition
-
and the points you get are depending on
-
how far you flip the table and how much damage you cause
-
I have to say I haven't seen an angry Japanese person in the last 6 months I have been here
-
so I find the concept of someone flipping a table in anger very hard to believe
-
So the reason I love this game so much
-
is it does relieve stress, it's quite fun flipping that table
-
Especially when you see the slow motion replay
-
Let's face it, whilst some people might say "Oh gosh, how violent and barbaric"
-
Compared to, say "shooting up a Russian airport" in Call of Duty
-
or running over a whole city, in Grand Theft Auto
-
I don't think this is that bad at all really
-
So yeah it's a fun game
-
a practical way of relieving stress
-
Probably something I can't imagine seeing in real life
-
Particularly when...
-
I think I just broke my table
-
Oh my god
