Oh, man, Japan. Yes, Japan remains a source of bewildered amusement for peering western eyes. Sure, a lot of what we think about Japan is probably a load of old hyperbole, but it's not just the neon lights, dinner-serving robots, and school girls that throw about the peace sign like it's the actual law that makes Japan seem so at odds with western civilisation... it's the strange and otherworldly practices that the country seems to embrace as if they're, like, normal.

7) Super-Table Flip! (2010) (Arcade)

Recommended Videos

Japan has one of the highest suicide rates in the world, so no wonder they’re finding new and innovative ways of cheering people up – this time from the comfort of an extremely loud arcade! Super-Table Flip! offers its patrons the chance to go absolutely crazy in a virtual representation of their living room as a substitute for doing it when they get home.

Here, your virtual family look on in horror as you take out all your anger on the kitchen table, achieved through banging on the arcade machine’s designated table top until you go super-nuts and flip the it over once and for all. Then soothing music plays whilst you view the physical damage you’ve caused in slow-motion. The psychological damage is left to your imagination (and your therapist).
