To add to today's
essential collection of non-news, I offer you this absurd commercial we just received from the
ooVoo people aimed at gamers. The video shows a trio of
British blokes entering a deathmatch session engaged in proper trashtalk aimed at the newb on the left, played by our very own
Jim Sterling (I wish). As he gets completely pwned in the game he also literally takes a beating, a faithful nod to the retro HUD in
DOOM. Hate to call them out on it, but the irony is that the app only works with windowed-mode games. You can't run ooVoo and a full-on DirectX shooter at the same time and still see your friends. Oops! At the very least, you can get your mom's makeup out and
blow kisses at Workman in the comfort of your home.
While the ad is
cute at best, I wish there really was a function in the software that did some kind of simple overlapping face-mapping effects. Maybe Microsoft will someday do this on their Live Cam -- don't you sometimes wish you could shovel
UNO cards into the mouths of lamers?
