Laugh? I nearly died.

Check out the video, it's hilarious

This is actually a fully 3D email client - your email is turned into people who walk around your world, and you feed spam to sharks.

I kid you not.

Never trust a computer you can't throw out of a window

Cool, I didn't realise there was a way to waste loads of my time when I just want to read my e-mails.

Cool find.

Oh and now to pick some holes in the site.

Quote: "Email is the killer app"

Since when has e-mail been an application?

Quote: "But it's deadly boring"

Since when has checking and writing e-mails been done for entertainment?

Quote: "Imagine photorealistic environments rendered in real-time"

Judging by the looks of it, I'll have to imagine it.

Another thing I don't like is the fact that it encourages people to feed fat people to sharks, that's just not on.

I'm with Zappo, this looks completely useless. Interesting (-ly useless) idea though..

Wow. I guess if you add boobs to something that is total crap then people will want to see it anyway (Showgirls, anyone?). Coincidentally that is my basic game making philosophy


Come see the WIP!
