SMELLIT could bring odors to your favorite games

by Mark R - on October 10th, 2011

Is there anything that could be more appropriate to bring back than smell-o-vision? Considering that 3D is helping bringing people back into the theaters, why not this fad?

Right now, there is a French company called Olf-Action (“Olf” for olfactory) which makes Odorvision, which can somehow emit scents through these jet engines.

Olf-Action wants to target these SMELLIT devices not for theaters but for home theaters and video games. As you can see in the picture, God of War is going to look pretty spectacular when you can sniff it.

Ah, smelling the game, won’t that be grand? What you see here is a rendering of it, and the device will be on display at the Lisbon Design Show.

By the way, you should see the smell list for this at my Source. It reads like a jukebox of odors, and 20001 is “Smell naked body”. Another is “Scent of a Woman” on 30001. Well, I wonder what type of game you are playing when those scents are mixed. The world may never know.

So, are there any games that you want to play with scents? I know a lot of games usually have a level that takes place in a sewer, and I really don’t want to bring that scent to my living room.

Feel free to insert any joke that mixes scents with video games here.

Drinking Extinguisher quenches your thirst

by Edwin - on October 10th, 2011

I realized something very true at the dinner table – no matter what kind of delicacies I shove down by throat as well as the array of drinks that slide down smoothly, nothing beats clean, cold water. There is just a refreshing feel to it, especially when so much of today’s food contain MSG that tends to induce thirst afterwards. Well, if you’re going to make sure the fire in your mouth is put out because you had one too many jalapenos in your pizza, how about doing it in style with the £17.99 Drinking Extinguisher?

Bear in mind that this is meant for drinking only and not to put out any fire in the vicinity – that would call for an actual fire extinguisher. Of course, this might also mislead the uninformed and clueless that it is OK to drink out of fire extinguishers, so make sure you influence those around you the right way. This drinking vessel seems to be the perfect thing to have around parties, and it will definitely put you on the cool list even amongst strangers. Each Drinking Extinguisher can hold up to 1500CC of life saving water – or your favorite poison, of course.
