Want to shoot real animals from your PC?

It allows disabled people and others to "go hunting" online for a prized kill. Pretty neat but it will be outlawed by the time PETA and everyone else gets through kicking and screaming.

Another one of those, "Damn! Why didn't I think of this?!?" ideas

Wow you'd have to be pretty badass to sit at your computer and shoot animals over the Internet.

well, no. unless you're wandering on this guy's property (he runs this business out of his backyard), you can't get stabbed. (and either way, you'd probably get shot by a hunting rifle anyhow)

Neutral really. Talked about some handicapped guy who loved hunting and got to use it to hunt again and about how the technology was pretty cool. Then played a clip of some politician/hunting regulator who was all pissed off buy it.

hmm..i want to hook that up myself. add some autoaim counterstrike bot and shoot squirrels or something.

or..be like that movie where bruce willis makes this computer controlled machine gun and wipes out an assembly.

If they have open season on Michael Jackson, I'm in.

I wonder if your latency affects this like FPS'?

 

[walla]

so if a person wanders into view and you kill him, is it murder?

 

[deftron]

You only shoot paper targets.

You have to actually go there to hunt live animals
