The Pinnacle of Technology
Posted by Ray @ 9:05 pmJenna Jameson (a porn star) has collaborated with a game company to make - that’s right - a porn game. My initial skepticism (Jenna Jameson? But… but… she’s fugly!) gave way to amusement when I read a review of the game on Wired.
As expected, the goal of the game is to make Jenna come to an orgasm… a task which the reviewer (a woman, I might add, and Wired’s sex columnist to boot) had some difficulty achieving.
But the part that made me laugh came in the middle, when the game’s creators were talking about the feedback they’d received from subscribers about what they wanted in a game of this sort.
XStream3D depends on subscriber feedback for direction as the game evolves. “That way we don’t waste money developing features no one wants,” says Abram.
So what do people want?
“You’d be surprised at how many subscribers tell us they want smells in the game,” he says, musing on the possibilities offered by the Scent Dome.
*Nasty laugh*
I really don’t know if the average human being has the physical dexterity to click a mouse, press some keys, crane their necks to smell a device and pak chew cheng all at once.
It also begs the question… what exactly do those customers want to smell?
Oh, and Trisenx had better re-design their Scent Dome, which currently looks like a medieval torture device. Unless, you know, you’re into that kind of thing.
