Posted by simoniker on from the imaginative dept.

Hangin10 writes "Simmunity Corporation and newAbilities Systems Inc. is going to introduce a specially modified tongue-controlled Gameboy Advance SP for young people with quadriplegia. They say 'We retrofit the Gameboy Advance SP with an internal PIC microcontroller to decode the wireless tongue transmitter signals and activate the GBA buttons. Games which do not require multiple simultaneous button presses can be played. We also offer custom games and special programs for augmented communication.'"

    As a bonus, no one will want to swipe your Gameboy and play it, either!

    Nothing but bonuses all around on this one... /P

    A tongue controller. Hmm... does anyone know if Virtual Valerie 2 has been ported to the Gameboy Advance SP? I may yet buy one of these, assuming my medical plan covers lockjaw.

  7. Think tank says ... don't buy it! by IGnatius+T+Foobar · · Score: 5, Funny

    Don't buy this product. The Alexis de Tongueville Institute has released an independent, objective, un-biased, and totally honest study which concludes that you should only buy Xbox video game hardware, and that video game products from Sony and Nintendo are directly responsible for terrorism and the collapse of the global economy.

    Couple years of practice with these machines and they'll become super-popular with the women!

    Or, wait... would that mean that they're no longer geeks?

    No, you'll be really popular with the ladies but they won't tell any of their friends about you. You can have them and their friends and none will be the wiser. muahahahaha

    We must have forgotten that the physically handicapped are incapable of having any sense of humor. On behalf of the physically-able, I apologize for our lack of sensitivity to our go-tard bretheren.

  11. Tastes like Link by Altima(BoB) · · Score: 5, Funny

    Who knows, maybe some games will be programmed to taste differently, like if you're playing Final Fantasy Tactics advance and one of your characters gets healed, a small dose of liquid or chemicals is released so it tastes like strawberries or chocolate. If one of your characters dies, citric acid would be sprayed in your eyes.

    Like most are thinking, it's win-win. (Hey at least it wasn't a sex joke...)

  12. Man what a bummer by RoderickMcDougall · · Score: 5, Funny

    After 70 comments Roderick approached the comments page with excitement, for he had immediately come up with a witty, +5 FUNNY comment for the Gameboy Advance tongue controller story. Oh it was brilliant, so obvious and so incredibly witty

    He paused a moment, silently making a prayer that nobody had thought of the "pR0n" implications for such a device, cackling with the sheer thought of the accolades raining down upon him he assured himself that he would be first to that punch.

    Scrolling down the filthy cackle was replaced by a dismayed groan. 70 Demoralising comments regarding cunnalingus later he sighed and resigned himself to tell the harrowing story of how he was not as "original" as he had thought.

    There are limits to my comedy. There are things that I'll never laugh at. The handicapped. Because there's nothing funny about them. Or any deformity. It's like when you see someone look at a little handicapped and go 'ooh, look at him, he's not able-bodied. I am, I'm prejudiced.' Yeah, well, at least the little handicapped fella is able-minded. Unless he's not, it's difficult to tell with the wheelchair ones.
