"3.Cigarettes that won't make us dead."

That's a ****ing idiotic thing to wish for. I'd much rather wish that all cigarettes killed the smoker immediately... or at least cigarettes that others would never have to smell and caused no secondhand damage.

haha that was sweet. the recharger would be the best. the glasses wouldnt work though. the brain would be fried from the screen being so close

i dont think your hands alone can produce that much energy. the idea is kinda stupid.

I'm happy with my Usb charged controler :]
Dam you Nintendo and your battery eating Wiimote...

The hand thing probably wouldn't work for me as I have icy cold hands =[

I don't recall where I read it, but I remember Microsoft mentioning that they were working on a profanity filter of some sort to at least "beep" out profanity. Not quite making bad things sound nice, but I'd be OK with being called a *bleeping* *bleep* who likes to *bleep* *bleeps* over the alternative any day.

They have "3. Cigarettes that wont make us dead"
AND, you can smoke them in most public places now.

just google "electronic cigarettes"
I believe they were actually at a number of electronic trade shows over the last year that GR staff went to. But likely, your staff was busy making appointments dealing with game related material.

They pretty much only atomize nicotine, not the harmful carcinogens contained in most cigarettes. Which makes them smell almost like nothing, but there is a distinct smell of tobacco, like pipe smoke, which is generally just tobacco and has many times fewer links to cancer than cigarettes.


So, one down, two to go. Technically, there are transporters too, but it only exists at the quantum level.

So we just need the time machine now. We know through Special Relativity that close to the speed of light there is time dilation, so we can effectively travel into the future, but we just need a way to come back.

Cool, 2 and 1/2 of the top three problems solved, now lets get our best minds on making these game inventions.

I'd want the profanity headset filter and the screen glasses, NO MORE SCREEN HACKING FOR YOUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!

These ideas have a Godly amount of win.

My favorite has to be the robot. Best-Would Be-Invention-Ever. Also, it was a burn to Killzone 2 fanboys everywhere.

It a win-win.

I think Penny-Arcade's Choke-o-matic (or whatever) is also a worthy invention.

I would also find the hand heat remote charger more useful.

Actually, I think the split-screen TV would be very possible, at least for two players. Take a 120Hz television, two pairs of glasses a bit like the nVidia GeForce 3D Vision and modify them a bit: instead of hiding one of the eyes for 1/60th of a second, make them hide BOTH eyes for 1/60th of a second. Then, synch both glasses so they are dephased by 1/60th of a second and make the computer alternate between displaying both screens. Bingo, two-player (not) split-screen!

It'd become harder for n>2 players, since you'd have your eyes hidden for (n-1)/60th of a second and open for 1/60th... which would likely be visible.

Anything to replace the brick on the back of the 360 would be great...

the hand heat thingamabob needs to work with unnatural amounts of sweat. i'm tired of wearing gloves when i game. someone, please, i beg of you. make a sweat-friendly controller. and dont say the solution is those crappy controllers with fans in them. that sucked so hard. my hands were ice and i was still sweating. it obviously didnt work. make something, i dont know, better?

For the first idea, if you own a 360, you can just set your text and chat settings to 'friends only', open up private chat,or just mute the person.

The idea is as funny as *insert naughty word here*, but sounds like it would get annoying after a few times.
