Tilt Scream Pong: How to Look Insane With One Simple Game

It seems there’s a long line of independent game developers whose sole missions is to create games that can make you look like a crazy person, even while on the go. One industrious programmer has built a version of Pong that utilizes the Sudden Motion Sensors and the built-in microphone in a Mac laptop. The result, as you can see above, is a game that has you tilting your laptop to move the paddle, while making noise to enlarge it, mostly by shouting. If you have the tools and you want to give it a try, you can head over here to download it. I guess yelling and shaking things isn’t just for British nannies anymore. *Rimshot*
Later, when developers were asked the exact function of screaming for this pong replica they replied “Oh, it’s completely unnesessary. We just wanted to see if anyone would actually do it.”
wtf. arghh indeed.
Crazy screaming. No. Looks like fun. Definitely. Though, I can’t see it working on the Underground/Metro/Tube (whatever the term is in every country).
