Accessories that shouldn't have been made.

Today is going to be a series of different video game accessories that probably should have had a bit more thought behind them, or probably just not thought of at all.

 

First up : Xbox Live Vision . For just the low price of 40 dollars, you can plaster your face all over the xbox live community, provided you actually have one of the few games that is actually supported by it. So, not only can you hear the jagoffs that plague XBL, you can now SEE them. Oh that's wonderful, I can now see the face of the prebubescant 12 year old screaming at me about how much I suck and I am a noob. Wonderful. And if that wasn't all, I can also be subjected to full frontal male nudity as some dude feels the need to pull down his pants and show the camera his wang. I've got Un.. OH MY GOD.. And of course, not everyone abuses it like that, but still, dropping 40 bucks on it seems a bit of a stretch for an accessory that probably won't get much support down the road. Oh, and I have actually been kicked from Uno games because I didn't have one, that's just retarded, because I don't think you can recive video if you don't have the camera. 

 

Up next we have The Power Glove . If you were too young to ever hear of it, or remember it. Be thankful. The Power Glove may be the worst accessory ever created. Only two games were developed to actually make use of it, but unfortantely, both of those games were pretty terrible in their own right, but the control was pretty horrid too. You were also supposed to be able to play most of the NES library, provided you had the manual so you could input the code, if you didn't have it, it just wouldn't work. And even if you had the book, the thing just wouldn't work. You'd have to move your hand up to jump in SMB, but it would jump like you tapped A. It never really caught on, and rightfully so, becuase it just really sucked. I had the unfortunate dissatisfaction of actually using this thing, and I want that 10 minutes of my life back. But here is a short video of the thing in action. The Suck Glove . Be warned as that video has explicit language, so if you are under 17, don't watch it. But now that I have said that, you'll watch it anyway =P
