Utilising the latest in cutting-edge high voltage gadget technology, Kibosh allows the rich virtual community to share their innovative lifestyle ideas and vote for the most popular, resulting in peer-generated long-distance democratic elimination based on group social standing (and who is sleeping with whose boyfriend). Consider it MySpace meets Sing-Sing.
...useless nine times out of ten, definitely, but I think that's the fault of developers and not the Rumble. A couple of games, like Silent Hill, really managed to take advantage of it by using it in a more intelligent way - when you feel your heartbeat pulsing in the controller, check your health - but mostly, it just shakes and thumps because it can, and makes your hands go numb if it does it too much.
Turn it off for most games, leave it on for Silent Hill, and let that be that.
I seem to have missed the whole of this sorry episode. I gave up on the news actually trying to report newsworthy things years ago. It spends most of its time trying to annoy me, anger me or depress me in one way or another, and I have plenty of things wasting my time without wasting more of it on such redundant crap.
Hooray for no TV!
