Title: My Falcon Came Today!
Post by: Holkeye on September 14, 2010, 12:51:40 AM
I ordered the Novint Falcon and the pistol grip, and they finally came today. I'm going to play through some stuff with it, and I'll let you know how rad it is.

It's fucking amazing. It's a haptic device that makes games more "immersive", (though I hate that word). Basically, it adds physical feedback to games. The gun attachment is the best. I'm playing through HL2 again with it, and using the gravity gun with it is really weird, but so cool.

I don't think I understand what this is.

The implications of a falcon fleshlight alone make me want one of these.

To clarify:

Shooting Ridley in the head- but with my penis.
Slashing Ganon and saving the triforce- with the master penis.
Inflating Pooka and Fygar in DigDug- wiiiiiiiiiiith my penis.

The possibilities are endless.

It only works with certain games. As far as what it is, you use it instead of your mouse. Like I said earlier, its a haptic device, which means adds tactile feedback to games. For example, adding texture to objects. In Penumbra, the ball gets harder to move when you're interacting with a heavier object, or in HL2 when you're using the gravity gun. Also, I got the gun attachment, which adds recoil to the game. It's really beyond explanation, you kind of just have to use it to really understand it.

I know man, I'm just being a dick. :V

But this is a really cool idea, and I'd be excited to get a chance to work one of these devices. My computer would probably self destruct trying to run it, of course.
