In response to the Control+Alt+Delete Comic of Monday:



I propose the immediate implementation of Throat-Punch Technology in all controllers sold to those 18 years and younger that play on Xbox Live. Of course, the microphone would toggle this device on and off depending on the pitch of voice and the amount of profanity.

Throat Punch allows another player who is tired of the prepubescent noises from "the squeaker" to throat punch them, and thereby silence them for the duration of the game. The action can be repeated as frequently as necessary.

It behaves somewhat like the "eject" feature of Xbox Live, but is so much more satisfying. A small dialogue will popup once Throat Punch has determined that the squeaker has met the criteria:
1) a high pitched / immature voice
2) 60% of all words are profanity



On that note it took forever to get someone to kill me so I could grab a screenshot. Why does it take so long when you want to get betrayed?

  • Your best post yet. It reminds me of the "i'm going to become rich and famous after i invent a device that allows you to stab people in the face over the internet" from bash.org

  • Haha, thanks. After 30+ hours of Halo in the last week, I rather wish that either device existed.
