Japanese mad scientists have finally developed the holy grail of output devices: http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story2&u=/ap/20041208/ap_on_hi_te/japan_internet_aroma">a networked aroma generator

I wonder what Night Elves smell like.

Fucking Japanese.

It would do jack and shit for games, especially MMOG's. As long as I'm still looking at images moving on a screen a few feet from my eyes, the immersion won't be good enough that I'll need scent cues. Not to mention the kind of effect it might have on zone traffic in an MMOG. Imagine people not wanting to go to swamp zones because of that "damned farty smell."

And Night Elves smell like cotton candy.

Is it just me or does that suspicously resemble a USB Bong?

Remind me to unplug this thing when my friends and I are watching Cartman's mom in a Scheiße video on the net.

You know those things where you look at a picture trying to find something, or playing a flash game and a scary ghost/monster pops up screaming at you? Or how someone will post a link and it turns out to be a picture of tubgirl/goatse? See where I'm going? Are all Japanese fucking crazy?

Just announced by NCSoft, they have a partnership going with these people and the next Lineage 2 chronicle is going to be "LAND OF MARSHMELLOWS AND UNWASHED SCHOOLGIRL UNDERWEAR."

I always thought sound would be incredibly immersive. It'll be a while before global support is introduced into most games, though :(

I've heard of people working on trying to get computers to radiate smell for over a decade.   In general, those devices prove impractical because you have to purchase reagents for them to burn in order to generate smell - think of it as smelling ink for a smell printer.   Unless someone has a lot of money burning a hole in their pocket, I can't see what would possess someone to buy such a thing.

Probably a mixture of pine needles and French whores with bad hygiene...
