This was something I meant to post that never got circulated. You've probably seen the ads for Nokia's N-Gage device, which has a cool idea: a decent cell phone that can be turned sideways for portable gaming action with integrated wireless multiplayer. In fact, the idea was friggin' awesome. The sad part is that Nokia designed a horrible game system, and as a result the games for it are horrible. What's even dumber is that when you make a call on the phone, the speaker and microphone are placed on adjacent corners of the phone, so when you're talking you have to hold the phone sideways in order to hear and be heard on the other end. The result? Side talkin'.
It's the flavor of the week, and that's because my brain is a little bit rewired due to finals week right here at UT. As you scroll down the page, it gets obvious pretty quickly that the idea gets way out of hand. But that's what makes it hilarious, especially at 10:30PM during dead days.
