modey Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 I'm reading about the light gun now. It's one of those inventions that makes me wonder how they even thought of making it in the way they did. I guess it was born out of necessity and not having good enough technology to do it efficiently..

Also it seems the name Nintendo itself literally means "the Temple of Divine Duty", if you decipher the kanji. Apparently they ran love hotels too, back before they got into video games.

With timer photos they're usually saying 'here's a picture of me and my girlfriend in front of the Eiffel tower' etc. With a lot of selfies the intent is 'tell me how beautiful' I am.

goDel Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 (edited) These ego-sticks are only useful when you're at the top of some extremely high thing where you want to be able to make a picture of yourself. That's the only valid situation to use it. Everything else I assume to be a sign of some psychpathological stuff which is referred to as narcissism. Edit: also, use a drone if you want to be ahead of the curve.

KovalainenFanBoy Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 My cousin has one, it's retractible and ends up being pretty small, so it really is portable. It makes selfies infinitely easier (and better). So yeah, as a device, 10/10. Now about the Instagram culture, narcissism and all that jazz, well you may like it or not. But the device itself is great.
