Penultimate experience in gaming arrives in Love Death 4 photo

You knew it was coming. You knew that one day man would devise a way to control videogames with his penis. We think with it most of the time. Most of the games we play have something to do with proving who has the bigger wang, and let's not pretend that the basis for most female game character design isn't to arouse the male gamer's sexual organ. Yes, using your penis to interact with videogames was practically a foregone conclusion, and now the conclusion has come to fruition with Love Death 4.

Love Death 4 is the fourth game in the series of Eroge games (erotic Japanese games) and will feature an interesting use of a USB connected camera. Teatime, the developer behind the game, had previously created Tech48, which used the camera for facial recognition in order to better interact with the ladies of the game. They have "extended" that technology a bit and the camera can now recognize shapes -- penis shaped shapes. The game's site (which I can't actually read) doesn't say explicitly what the shape recognition will be used for, but the example they give suggests that an in game character will recognize the male gamer's phallus and react to it accordingly.

I believe there is only one thing I can say here: Also, cocks.

Ehrm. I don't know if things like this piss on or help prove the point unangbangkay was trying to make on eroge games. It's almost a weird mix of both.

INNOVATION!!!!
Hope the developer doesn't get too cocky and start dicking around with more ballzy ideas. They might get their employees sacked and be in a sticky situation.

I think the real question is, how are they going to react to the penis? For all we know, it could end up in an instant game over. After all, flashing a girl you just started dating isn't exactly the best way to get her to sleep with you.

Also, augmented reality just got creepier.

In what sense 'penultimate'? Second to last to what?

@MrTelvision

I assumed the ultimate experience would be actually having sex with a videogame.

So, in the future we´ll get games that are Really only for men or women? Unless they include something that will make both sexes be able to play it...

Of course , i could just day it's an optional feature but that's not as strange.

@MrTelevision: I think he meant "penil-ultimate."

There's already a game like this, it's called "sad loser with a cam and yahoo messenger". I played it one time, lost.

I'd like to see the game try and recognize it when I put a fake nose and glasses on it!

Penultimate doesn't mean what you think it means. It means "the next to last".

@joques

I already explained the use of penultimate in the title. The ultimate form of this would be having sex with the game, thus the step before that or the next to last step is using your penis for the controller.
