Nintendo Hires Walking Gamers
Plug1 writes "CNN.com has an interesting article about nintendo hiring people to offer free samples of their games. Stephen Pellitier "will wear a 15-inch flat-screen TV on his chest and a pack of batteries on his back. With a game console and joysticks dangling from his waist, he will spend his weekends inviting passers-by to play games.""
imagine the possible pickup lines involving joysticks, buttons, and playing
with them! The potential for being beaten on the streets is just amazing!
Further proof that brain activity is diminished when playing games.
If thou see a fair woman pay court to her, for thus thou wilt obtain love
will you hold my joystick(s)?
p.s. they should not just hire *anybody*, btw; booth-babes has been sitting all bored after E3; they should be put to good use.
Well I am fucking a navy ROTC/football player so there. So butch, yet so gay.
Has anyone informed Katz of this new development? I can just see him now: "Oh, the 'joystick' is in my pocket, just reach on in, little boy."
Netcraft has confirmed: Taco-snotting is dying.
Yet another crippling bombshell hit the beleaguered Taco-snotting community when recently IDC confirmed that Taco-snotting accounts for less than a fraction of 1 percent of all homosexual acts. Coming on the heels of the latest Netcraft survey which plainly states that Taco-snotting has lost more fag practitioners, this news serves to reinforce what weve known all along. Taco-snotting faggots are collapsing in complete disarray, as further exemplified by failing dead last in the recent Faggot World comprehensive snotting test.
You dont need to be a Katz to predict Taco-snottings future. The handwriting is on the wall: Taco-snotting faces a bleak future. In fact there wont be any future at all for Taco-snotting because Taco-snotting is dying. Things are looking very bad for Taco-snotting. As many of us are already aware, Taco-snotting continues to lose faggotshare. White ink flows like a river of bubbly, thick jizz. The circle-snot is the most endangered of them all, having lost 93% of its core snotters.
Lets keep to the facts and look at the numbers.
Circle-snotting leader Jeff Homos Masterbates states that there are 7000 snotters of the circle-snot. How many users of anal snot are there? Lets see. The number of circle-snotting versus anal snot posts on Usenet is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there are about 7000/5 = 1400 anal snot users. SnotOS posts on Usenet are about half of the volume of anal snot posts. Therefore there are about 700 users of SnotOS. A recent article put the circle-snot at about 80 percent of the Taco-snotting market. Therefore there are (7000+1400+700)*4 = 36400 circle-snot users. This is consistent with the number of circle-snot Usenet posts.
Due to the troubles of CowboiKneels walnuts, abysmal sales and so on, the circle-snot went out of business and was taken over by SNOTi who sell another troubled Taco-snot. Now SNOTi is also dead, its corpse turned over to yet another gay whorehouse.
All major surveys show that Taco-snotting has steadily declined in faggotshare. Taco-snotting is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If Taco-snotting is to survive at all it will be among heterosexual hobbyist dabblers. Taco-snotting continues to decay. Nothing short of a jizz-soaked miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, Taco-snotting is dead.
Fact: Taco-snotting is dead.

Your post lacks proper grammar. Dumbass.
Holy shit these guys are fags. If I was 12 I MIGHT consider this a cool job. If they had a hot chick with the system that might be cool. You could just stare at her tits for 20 minutes while pretending to play games.
Do you think your being faster, stronger, has anything to do with ANYTHING in this place?
So you're big. Big deal. Threaten someone you've never seen because they said something you didn't agree with.... sounds like you're mighty mature too.
[sits back and waits to be modded out of existence]
tooo... many.... jokes.... possible.... must... contain... myself!!!!
I figure it makes pretty good economic sense, since many different sites with low CPM rates still get over a million page views per day. Problem is, she replies, there's probably only around 150-200k unique visitors at any of these respective locations, each of whom is triggering around 5-7 page views per person per day.
And besides, she continued, using the Jungean Archetype model to illustrate her point, the target audience is devoted to reason, not emotion. This, I concede, defeats one of my central tenets: applying a test to determine whether a person is Apollonian or Dionysian, left-brain or right-brain, etc. in order to assess the likelihood of downloading Centiare, my cool little cash management/forecasting program for individuals and small businesses.
Centiare quickly and automatically calendarizes projected deposits, payments and running cash balances over any time period selected - the output looks like a spreadsheet. But since transactions are stored in a database, the way it works is through a series of SQL pivot/transformation functions. The results are stored within multiple counter arrays to keep track of time periods, monthly totals, and grand totals. Once the recordset is complete, viola', the whole thing is formatted and printed - the flash report looks really good.
And besides, it's free to try, and only $20 to buy!
To be continued ...Centiare
I imagine the possibilities for getting beaten up on the streets are pretty good for slashdot readers as it is...
I expect to see a bunch of cheap flatscreens in my local pawn (heh, nearly wrote porn) shop then? *rubs hands together*
You are the mullet champion!
no.
Hey! Drug dealers are eating every day, lets stop doing that too. :)
If programs would be read like poetry, most programmers would be Vogons.
