Boy’s Heart Explodes, News at 11 [DP Store]

[digitalpress]

Last weekend, a young customer walked from the back of the store with a boxed Aura Interactor in hand."Joe, what do you think about this?" He asks."It's pretty cool. It lets you 'feel' the games." "Di...

[Nukie]

You people are sadistic! I love it.

[Wolfrider31]

Haha awesome! Can I work for you guys please? :P

[Daria]

DP's Interacter's go to 11.


So what is that thing... like a giant strap-on rumble pak for the SNES and Genesis?

Something like that. It's like a subwoofer attached to your chest and back. You can use ANY device that has audio outputs, so he could also blow his heart up watching TV or listening to a CD.

I nominate Joe for man of the year 2007.

Now if you can just work your magic with an Activator...

So wrong to do, yet so funny.

I remember that, I know a guy that knows a guy and it happened to his brother's uncle's cousin's grandma.

You know, I'm sure it SEEMS that way... but I promise it's not "wrong". This is really lighthearted stuff. No one gets hurt, no one walks away mad or insulted or cheated. I think most of us are pranksters and I also think most of our customers catch on to that pretty quickly. If you've ever been to the store I'm pretty sure you'd feel we treated you and other customers very well.

Even in this case. If this kid came onto the forums I'd bet the worst he'd feel is that he'd been pranked. At best, part of some good clean fun.

Joe, I never thought I would see that fellow again after last Saturday. Thanks for another laugh. I'll never forget his face and what he said to his friend that was there when he heard the story.

What did he say to his friend? Is there a side story to all of this? Yes please.

[Scrimble]

It wasn't much but after Mike was done with the story the kid just stared at the box and he had a shocked but happy look on his face. He paused for a second and then walked over to his friend and said "DUDE! Did you hear what this guy just said?" Just the tone he said it in and the look he had was priceless.

I guess you could call it a subwoofer... But as far as I can tell, it's a semi-loose speaker in a plastic casing.

wtf.. Throughout the story I was picturing a 12 year old kid.. but then I saw the picture. That kid looks a little too old to be THAT gullible. Is he?

[digitalpress]

I think he's 17, but I know adults that would fall for similar or even less complex pranks. The human brain is an amazing variable in humans.

[exit]

Having him take a picture with it is the icing on the cake. You'd think you were reading about a child, then you see a picture of teenage stoner with a puzzled looked on his face and the situation is much more amusing.

Good job.

Lol...Joe's totally going Gord on customers. Hah! You HAVE to compile these stories to a book after a while.

Yes! I was thinking that myself: This is the new "Acts of Gord". Wow I miss that guy.

[Pantechnicon]

"Well, boy?! Have you got the cajones to handle a videogame peripheral that could potentially kill you...or not? Do you have what it takes to strap this bottomless pit of torque to your bony little chest?"

This is Joe's best rib since the one where he convinced those kids that the PSP version of that horror movie (the name escapes me, sorry) was scarier than the theatrical release, thus he had to keep it in the secure cabinet
