XBox: Is There Anything It Can't Do?



Geekologie:
Apparently there's a downloadable XBox game that's supposed to teach you how to talk to girls. Which -- so let me get this straight: playing a video game....to learn how to talk to girls. Folks, you better put your foil helmets on, the universe is imploding.

That is either the funniest or the saddest thing I've read all year. I can't decide which.

The background silhouette image in the game screen apparently came from the "Encyclopedia Brown Meets Playboy" clip art set.

Dating sims have been around in Japan for ages and are extremely popular, though they haven't really caught on in the West.

Step one. Eyes on her eyes. Not her boobs. Repeat after me: Eyes on her eyes. Not her boobs. You will be penalized 1 point for every time your gaze flickers down. Eyes on her eyes. Not her boobs.

Leave now before I call the police.

Surprisingly, this never happened to me.
