Deserves a thread.

Presumably everyone's tried this by now.

Chat Roulette.

My very first click was a pair of dancing hands. It was great. Really glad that someone thought to put on a sort of show for a stranger.

My second click was a fat man masturbating. He closed the chat in a microsecond.

This seems to be usual. I saw three penises in less than five minutes.

It's been quite educational. It dawned on me that the only erect penises I've ever seen, excluding my own penises (I have several, yes) have been in pornography. I'd never realised before that men in pornography have to have 'nice' penises. Because god damn it, those penises I saw on Chat Roulette just now were really ugly.

Nobody, but nobody, wants to actually chat. It's all men, presumably looking for girls' tits (and there are none I saw), and quickly clicking through strangers.

It's kind of addictive, though.

Re-reading this I think I should add that, er, I didn't intend to write about penises so much!

[adamb]

I had never heard of it, and I have no immediate desire to see penises, I think its a stupidly stupid idea

[Mugge]

WTF?!

I just got a picture of some guy on a webcam scratching his chin.

[dmegatool]

So this IS the internet ?

[drewprops]

Do they get to see you too? (I'm on an iPhone right now)

You get to decide that. But from what just happened to me, if you disable your camera, people disconnect right away. And I wasn't quite willing to let the world see my just-out-of-bed face.

[Hassan i Sabbah]

Yes. They get to see you too. That's sort of the point.

They could be anywhere in the world.

I got some bored looking guy earlier. He seemed to be OK, so I said 'Hello'. He sort of took this as in insult and gave me the 'v's' (British 'fuck off' sign) and pressed 'next'.

No one would talk to me. I think it's simply a breach of etiquette for one guy to try and talk to another! As if the interaction can spontaneously make you gay, or something.

It's a Flash website; so, none of it works on the iPhone.

I tried this a few weeks ago just to see what all the hubbub was about. Never again. Never. Again.

[evan]

some guys in my fraternity have turned this into a drinking game. We display a message "Will drink for boobs" and hope it works...

here's the rules:
-one sip for a penis
-chug your drink for boobs

you'd be surprised how persuasive a room full of guys can be (we hook up someone's computer to a big screen TV). Played for about an hour once and saw girls on 3 separate occasions. 1 group of them disconnected pretty fast, another demanded that we pull down our pants before they would take off their shirts, and the 3rd played by our rules and flashed us haha.

Yes, sorry Brad/ drew.

Brad is right, though. It's pretty ghastly.

This blog post from Adam Lisagor made me laugh (scroll down a couple). Also: ascared.

This game is proabably more suited for 4channers than Novians.

Maybe we just need more image macros and memes?

Newnovians can't triforce?

[Wrao]

I think I'll pass. But I've seen a couple of funny screen captures from the site.

[psmith2.0]

I just played a round or two. Saw way too many wangs, but, to my complete shock, some little cutie-pie brunette um...well, she just pulled her breasts out, smiled and moved on.

Class act.



So at least I got to see something besides male body parts.

[kieran]

I go on Chat Roulette every once in a while. Just to kill a few minutes.

I saw somewhere online where someone had made a drinking game to Chat Roulette. Every time you see a dick, you drink. Probably get pretty fucked up doing that.

[psmith2.0]

I'd be on the floor if that was the rule.

[tomoe]

My imp of the perverse got the best of me, so I went on for 3 minutes...

What I saw...

• Two (separate) guys rubbing one off.
• One guy heavily petting his nether regions
• A girl giving a guy head
• Several different shirtless guys
• Two different pairs of girls giggling.
• A bunch of creepy old dudes.

...and then I started to feel like a creepy old dude and got the fuck out.

I like this one:

Penny Arcade - The Game

She lost it!

[Moogs]

Congratulations Internet, you've just hit bottom.





Add some more of this shit, more chinese attacks and some bandwidth caps and I might go back to news rags and typewriters.
I'd also like to thank the Lord Jesus and the Flying Spaghetti Monster for ensuring we never had to play a drinking game involving the flashing of penile units on the internets, during my college years. Back then Netscape 1 was just out and it was bad-ass if you could download that noisy boobie shot over 56K in less than two minutes! I'm pretty sure Chat Roulette would've stopped me from drinking all together.

I found myself launching it again over the weekend. You see some pretty funky stuff around 2:00am on a Saturday...

But, yeah...I've seen more dicks this week than a detective convention. I wish there was some sort of front-end "jack-free" filter you could click to bypass any of those feeds. It would knock the pool from 35,000 strangers down to about 128.

I have to admit having a bit of fun with it...I got out my guitar and played Beatle riffs/licks/solos by request (I made a little sign and propped it up, and all you saw was my guitar and hands..."Beatles riffs/licks by request". I got a lot of replies and actually had some fun. Only one person stumped me (but I knew their second request).

Got a ton of claps, thumbs-up, singing along, etc.

I played "Day Tripper" about 114 times...

[Moogs]

Don't worry, Google Labs is working on CRaPF... the Chat Roulette Penis Filter that uses special image pattern detection algorithms to spare you from the horrors of excessive chat-wang. CRaPF lags the system by about 2 seconds, detects the penis, and then automatically bumps you to the next chat before you see it. You'll just have to give them control of your address book and the rights to your first born to use it.

And now: Catroulette

Whoa.... you just redeemed Chatroulette in my eyes. The whole jerking off for the world thing is so depressing, but a Beatles singalong is as wholesome and happy and good as I can imagine. Imagine clicking along, one furtive wank after another, and suddenly coming across the Beatles riff guy. Like coming out of a dark, filthy alley onto a sunlit meadow. I think I'm really feeling it because over Christmas I played a lot of Rock Band Beatles with my brother niece and nephew, and it was so much goddamn fun. For someone my age every single one of those songs are just tattooed on my brain.

[curiousuburb]

The shark may have been jumped.

Even NYT is on the bandwagon now. (Although with surprisingly few NSFW warnings.)

Last Thursday me and some friends got drunk and were on CR for about an hour. I believe the cock-to-tit ratio for that hour was about 3:1. (That's individual tits, not pairs.)

[Xaqtly]

I must have missed the whole thing because I'm only now finding out about it, with this thread and Penny Arcade. I'm not the webcam type or the social type really, so it's pretty much everything I don't like.

That said though, I LOVE what Paul did. Maybe I could do something like that with drums or something. Or put up a sign that says "Ask me something and I'll answer with Sean Connery's voice".

I'm infamous at work for imitating Sean Connery at random.
