GameScent
So, I just read an article about a new device available on Amazon for $149.99 called 'GameScent' that does more or less what the name implies; using essential oils (FDA approved, apparently), it simulates 5 scents, gunfire/explosion/racing/storm and forest, while a player is gaming. Ocean, zombie, blood, big city, and fresh-cut grass are in the works as well.
Maybe I'm a little off kilter, but I find myself intrigued to give this ridiculous thing a try. Anyone else have thoughts about this?
*The article I got this from was from 'Mashable;' I'd provide a link but I'm rather incompetent on how to do such things.*

1 ReplyThat would be a pleasant change for most of the basement dwellers getting constantly bombarded by a combination of their own hallitosis, body odor masked with Axe body spray and unwashed socks. I just wonder if their moms will kick in the $150 for the price of entry though.

1 ReplyI did hear about this actually, not sure where some youtube thing maybe. I guess if you were playing VR it might add to the immersion somewhat, but I’m certainly not committing that kind of money to find out if it’s worth it because it almost definitely isn’t. As to whether it ‘actually’ smells like what it’s supposed to, I imagine being immersed in the game and being told it’s supposed to smell like gunpowder or whatever does most of the work for you.

1 ReplyWife: “Did you -blam!- ND in the house?!” Me: “No!” Wife: “Then why the -blam!- do I smell gunpowder??!” Me: “Because of new FDA approved gamer scent!” *turn head to look at camera. Smile. Smile sparkles. Winks.*

1 ReplyWeird Al had this idea back in the 80s, I think. Called Smell-o-vision. TV you can smell. Everyone called him crazy; now they're selling it for Gamers for 150 bucks. Wild. Also I thought your title said Gamer Scent at first, and I was coming to be like: That's gross.
