Augmented Reality Quake

DrGonzo writes "Take a tour of campus an shoot some monsters. The Wearable Computer Lab at the University of South Australia has developed a prototype wearable Quake suit. " I'm a little skeptical of this, but it sure would make the frisbee golfers on campus look like the normal ones.

Re:You mean that monster *isn't* real?

I think I'd prefer a modified Quake that presented the virtual reality of shooting students on a college campus...

It is called DISC golf, not frisbee golf

[cardshark2001]

Believe it or not, discs are actually different than frisbees. They have a smaller surface area, greater mass, more accuracy, better aerodynamics, and if you tried to catch one it would probably bruise you quite badly.

What do you have against disc golfers anyway? Is it any sillier than ball golf?

No, no -- these things kicks ass. I can't even think of a better way to stamp "I'm huge dork" on my head.

As for the people who hate geeks, that's why us geeky types band together. And stealing equipment with a net connection and GPS built in is a generally Bad Idea in the first place. (Need one even add that a lot of geeks happen to be interested in law, firearms, or both?)

Reverse sexism

[UberQwerty]

I know you're joking, but the post demonstrates an underlying societal reverse sexism that I make a point of whining about often. Imagine! I have to call it "reverse" sexism for anyone to even imagine that sexism could apply to men.

Stick to flowers. your success rate will greatly improve.

It's not every guy's goal in life to get a date at all costs. There are some of us who don't go around throwing gifts at anything with a vagina, begging and pleading with our female masters for their priceless presence on a date. Since when does every relationship have to be started by the guy? I've had five girlfriends, and four of them did the asking. I never gave gifts to any of them except on their birtday or on special occasions, and one of them insisted on paying for half of everything. Kudos to them. Not to you.
