Tilt Scream Pong makes you look insane
Want to install a game that makes you look as crazy as the poor woman in the video above? Look no further than Tilt Scream Pong, a game that utilizes both the Sudden Motion Sensor and the built in microphone in your Powerbook, iBook, MacBook or MacBook Pro. The basic game is really a solitaire pong game (like Breakout without the blocks), but the ball apparently moves faster and faster. Oh, and your paddle grows in size the more noise you make-- that's why this woman is screaming at her computer while flailing it around awkwardly.
Anyway, it seems a lot like Wii Sports in that you look like a dork while playing it, but it's actually fun to play. The game and source are available for free, and future plans hint at maybe eventually a two player game, or even two player network play. Check it out-- but do it behind closed doors or risk people thinking you're strange.

Haha, think a silent version might be more suitable ;)

while it's nifty and all, did anybody stop to think that maybe jerking around your laptop like that might not be good for the hard drive, among other things?

So... Apple ships their notebooks with an _external_ microphone _inside_ the computer, now? :P

Aside from making the player look like an idiot, I'm not sure it's the best idea to intentionally invoke a feature meant to be used for preventing hard drive damage. Sort of like driving your car into walls to play a game with the airbag sensor.

Nice, but I'm not interested until they include iSight functionality in the game.

That was hands down THE most hilarious YouTube video I've ever seen. (And it makes Apple devotees look like total frigtards! Ack! The travesty!)
