Joydick Atari game controller

Here's a NSFW video about the Joydick, "a wearable haptic device for controlling video gameplay based on realtime male masturbation. Through the use of a carefully designed strap-on interface, the user’s penis is converted into a joystick capable of moving the character onscreen in all four cardinal directions. For games requiring the fire button, a separate ring can be worn which converts hand-strokes into button presses." (Thanks, Becky!)

  Ha, I want this.

• [mc]

  Do they have an accelerometer based masturbation app for the iPhone yet?

• [semiotix]

  All my friends laughed at me when they threw those Dance Dance Revolution and Guitar Hero parties and I had no dance or music skills…

  …well I’ll show them now!

• [Phikus]

  Spikeles@19: Don’t you mean Flashcock?

  Anybody remember the iBrator? Added a whole new meaning to “She Comes In Colors” Rolling Stones soundtrack to the original lollipop iMac commercials.

• [kmoser]

  There was a game for the Commodore 64 called Stroker [NSFW] which had a similar principle, only without the specialized hardware.

• [Matt Staggs]

  Any chance you could put this video after a jump? I’m no prude….but my employers I can’t vouch for.

• [chunk]

  wow. minutes of fun. get a date.

• [bjacques]

  Wasn’t this in a Cherry Poptart comic awhile back?

• [Anonymous]

  That’s just a bunch of retro junk. We need the wiinis and the wiigina!

• [ymr049c]

  This is one of those jokes that is (maybe) funny to tell your friends when you think of it, but doesn’t hold up for repeating. Without some hook to take it further, a big gong.

• [ZoopyFunk]

  An excellent post to follow 12-year old girl mistaken for hooker.

  LAMEDASHO Stupidest product ever. Not wonderful, IMO.

• [merreborn]

  Unfortunately, boingboing does not determine the screencap shown on the embedded player — that’s up to youtube.

  Boingboing’s only option, re: removing said screencap from the homepage, would be removing the embedded player entirely.

• [ill lich]

  Wait. . . you slip your god-given joystick inside it? How the hell are you supposed to improve eye-hand coordination if you’re going blind?!

• [deadpanwalking]

  Using this device, the game of Centipede at first is kind of fun. Then it gets very fun. Then very very fun. Then suddenly, not so fun anymore…

• [Takuan]

  Mr.Garrison already designed the car like this.

  Anyways, what’s the point of a game control that never lets you get a higher score than 30?

• [ZoopyFunk]

  When TinyNibbles and BB post the same thing on the same day, does that mean the earth is about to split?

• [Nawel]

  What is LAMEDASHO?

  It would be interesting to read a psychoanalyst view on this thing.

  Anyway, let’s take this with a sense of humor.

• [Mark Frauenfelder]

  It’s a zoopyfunkalicious way to spell lame-o!

• [Antinous / Moderator]

  When do we get a car that works this way?

• [valdis]

  @6: “When do we get a car that works this way?”

  What, that’s NOT how they control those cars with the hydraulics that bounce up and down and up and down?

• [devophill]

  ATTN: Boing Boing is NSFW.

  That is all.

• [StRevAlex]

  Perfect, considering that playing video games is pretty much masturbation anyway.

• [Gambrinous]

  Some people have too much time on their hands… Hands I hope they wash after. :|

• [Shane]

  As someone who browses from work and home (where little mutants lurk) I politely request a different screengrab or alternate image be substituted.

  Thanks!

• [Spikeles]

  If you use Firefox, get an addon called Flashblock. It replaces the entire flash movie with a big play button, so you don’t see the actual flash object( and therefore no NSFW preview images ) till you click play.

• [techfever]

  OMG, this is just to cool :) And for those joydick fans that wanna read this in German … here u go: http://www.techfieber.de/2009/02/10/do-it-yourself-joydick-der-penis-joystick/

• [A New Challenger]

  Centipede is all well and good, but there are other games that would be more appropriate for this demo, IMO.

• [gtron]

  the vid-game industry comes full circle (-jerk). wankers.

• [Chas44]

  eBay Atari 2600 sales now up by 300%.

• [Scuba SM]

  Think this will change the focus from speed runs to marathon runs?

• [dainel]

  False advertising. In the video, the user is clearly controlling the device with his hand.

• [Anonymous]

  This is clearly an aid for quitting masturbation. In time, the user will associate masturbation with the cringe inducing thought of having to play Atari 2600, and will quit.

• [inness]

  OHGREATANDTHANX, Frauenfelder! Second week on the new job, first day to (surreptitiously) check in at my No. 1 website, and I get this paradoxical post with a NSFW warning sporting a perky lil’ NSFW image! ROFLMAO! Ah, heck. Better so than not, sez I. Oh, and horribly SAD product.

• [l’elk!]

  i prefer the power glove.
