Pffft... I don't wanna have to move while playing video games!! ;)

Fo' real.. how can I gain weight with this contraption. Pffft.

So what happens if you scratch your balls?

Anyone remember Sega Genesis activator? I admit it was cool the first time, but unless you were lightning quick, it was impossible to win any games..

However, if this is more responsive, has a better range of movement, and is easy to position yourself to, it'll be great

For certain games

Capcom games will always be gah on it, but I can picture 3d fighters and RPG's being super fun....get a toy sword and a staff and you're st

yay! now i can do my marvel vs. capcom 40-hit combos a lot quicker.

Video arcades have these for Tekken-type games for years now using the same technology. It's a novelty that'll wear off soon, as you won't be as responsive with your body movements as you would with your fingers on the controller.

For a second, I thought this thread should belong in Mature. ;)

They could release a special Tae Bo for the PS2 with this.

Obviously FlashStash hasn't checked into the board yet today...

You could do that with the old Atari 2600 joystick if you sat on it just right.

Ewww...take Darren off the "Good Trader" list.
