- PolarPyro, on 10/12/2007, -1/+17"...go on?"
He was answering the question: "Which will crash first - the dummy, or the website?" - brownspank, on 10/12/2007, -2/+15Like a racist with a clogged nose?
- JackHallows, on 10/12/2007, -7/+19The website.
- doddilus, on 10/12/2007, -2/+13These interactive webcams are pointless to post on digg
A couple hundred people trying to interact with one object - Flashman, on 10/12/2007, -2/+13I think the camera just got knocked off its perch... it's facing the ceiling now :P
Edit: Yeah, the guy with the broom just picked it up again! I hope he gets bored and tries to play 'chicken' with it. - mrTribal, on 10/12/2007, -2/+12Wow, you figure that out all by yourself?
Obviously its an ad, it still has some merit - cyrix, on 10/12/2007, -2/+12Well I doubt he planned on getting dugg.....
- RFInfection, on 10/12/2007, -3/+12What is the point if you cannot connect?
- sauron256, on 10/12/2007, -4/+13"Connection failed."
Guess the website broke first... - Flashman, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10Some people digg it to come back later and have a look. Social bookmarking, etc.
- coheedcollapse, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10I don't know why people are complaining about this being on here, it's innovative and fun, and in my mind that totally justifies the fact that it;'s and advertisement.
I just need it to come back online so I can shoot me some dummies. Yeeeeeeeee-haw!
*cough* I mean.....I have no primal urges to launch volleys of small furry spherical objects at high velocities toward a superglued dummy. - Flashman, on 10/12/2007, -4/+12digger stole my bandwidth!
- nphp20, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8Is that cannon not connected or a typo for can not connect? Anyway, if I can't connect/cannon is broken then why does the people connected counter keep rising?
- nicklinus, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8yea it is fixed works good, this is a great marketing idea for glue.
- helix400, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7Clicked "skip". That led me to a dead end.
I then refreshed the browser, waited for the intro, put in my name, and now it only says "Cannon not connected try it in a few seconds".
Bleh. - JackHallows, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8"Which will crash first - the dummy, or the website?"
"The website." - thenativeraver, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7This was a good idea!
(besides the bandwidth issue)
I'll digg just because it's a completly different type of interactive advertisement.. - Sonic84, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7could not connect. this sounds like fun, I'll try again when the digg effect wares off, I hope there are still dummies left to shoot :)
- Infexor, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5The 'cannon' is just swaying left and right. Why is no one firing it?!
- aura, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Advertisers are getting smarter.
Either that or i'm managing to filter out more ads than ever before. - THX-7168, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Not replying to comment made my MackPrime
For anyone that is interested:
All you do is enter a name. Wait for your turn (which for me was about 10 minutes). Shoot a ball at the dummy. Then realize that you are a dumbass that just wasted 10 minutes looking at a test dummy hanging from its feet on the ceiling. The web-cam is such low quality that you cannot even tell if you shot the ball let alone hit the damn dummy.
Very disappointed in myself for actually thinking this would be cool. Damn my curiosity.
Digg (for the idea); Reported as Lame (for getting nothing in return) - blobzorz, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7Cannon not connected
- JaceFuse, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Has anybody else wondered why there aren't a bunch of balls piled up on the floor?
- xelloss, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Too many poeple lol
- MackPrime, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6it's really hard.
- lucask, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4edit:
good question - kaytrio, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7For a second there, I thought u were using some horrible profanity...
- melophobia07, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4haha i saw some indian dude come collect the tennis balls on the floor with a long stick, i tried to hit him but the delay was too long
- jwigum, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Yeah, it's not connecting for me either. The annoying thing is that the counter says there are roughly 150 people connecting, and the number fluctuates.
- windex99, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Put your name in, click try, wait a few minutes, and you'll enter the queue. Wait your turn, and push shoot within 5 seconds when you're up. (the whole setup is rather shabby).
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Its not working currently. Digg effect
- dbr_onix, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3People are complaining because it's not working.. I've not seen any comments complaining about it being an "advert"?
Untill it comes back up, theres a bunch of videos under Behind The Scenes, some of them are not bad
- Ben - D4V1S, on 10/12/2007, -6/+8hey everybody get off of it for like 30 minutes and then we'll all come back, I get to try it while you guys are gone because it was my idea.
- zyopski, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I give up, i'm not going to wait hours streaming video off this site until I finally get a shot... Interesting concept, though its definitely DUGG with hundreds of users waiting for a shot.
- balazs, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2thts exactly what i was wondering
- Supernova36, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2254 people connected..
- orenthal, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3the button delay makes it tough.
- lbdwag, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2this is one confusing site....
- Mac2492, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2What if the dummy falls down?
- everfalling, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2you'd think a company for glue would figure out a way to keep the damn camera in place!
- overbyte, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1haha - killed by digg
- wtfomg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1This is the most genius thing I've seen on the net, people will be watching this thing for days, maybe weeks depending on how things play out. Get a bunch of sponsors and this is an odd sort of dirty feeling goldmine.
Also I've hit it twice! But just kind of on the side near the armpits. - ybisme, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2yes there is, however, the websites gone haywire due to the load of about 260 people ATM, so wait if you wanna see what all the fuss is really all about! (till the digg effect wears off)
- fauxpaw, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1That's the whole idea. The dummy is superglued to the ceiling, and you're supposed to try to knock it down with the tennis ball cannon.
- digger_twit, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1The ground is probably titlted. So the balls roll down and collect at the bottom.
- presto, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I hit his stick!!!
- VioletArrows, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1The site put me in the queue as #333. But the queue on the site is currently waiting on someone at 700 (it starts over at 1000). I don't know whether to just leave the window open for the rest of the day or come back later. :/
- zefer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1its a great idea but there are no links to more product information etc.
Edit: I suppose, it is only super-glue! - joshPB, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Do you just let it connect?
- balazs, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1for me it just says failed to connect, and because this is flash, this is one time when the digg effect really sucks and duggmirror is no use. ugh! very cool idea though, i wonder if ill ever get a chance to try it?
