[IranianDemocrat]

For the record I did nto amke this up, I got it in an e-mail and I don't know the link for the site. But this is just one hillariously stupid idea.

Massively Multiplayer Online Pong

Picture it. A giant three dimensional double-buffered geodesic icosahedron. Inside the icosahedron, are thirty, forty, maybe fifty fully 3-d rendered paddles controlled by players logged in from all around the world. Capable of 360 degree rotation along any axis, with full pitch/yaw/roll, players around the world will compete to play the ball which comes shooting at them from any angle at insane speeds. Of course there's a variety of cameras, from "in-paddle" fixed to an aerial shot to a fixed perspective camera. Garaud shading for the entire arena (fog of war perhaps?) Picture all the players fighting to get the ball, but also trying to dodge one another's paddles, block each other's shots, and jostle the other paddles into corners where they can more easily miss. Of course this gets accompanied by irc-style chat where idiot kids can say "l4m3r d00d! 3y3 p0ngx0r3d j00!"
