Your 3DS AR Card Tattoo Doesn't Have to Last Forever

This is an interesting article about the tech of the 3ds.

If Jeff or someone wrote it, it would be hailed as genius. This is nowhere near the depths Brad D sunk to...

you may as well have just provided a link...

Nintendo should make stick-on one's, using that plastic sheeting which sticks when moistened with water.

This is not the same Kotaku article , in that one the guy acutally has a tatoo of  an AR Card, wich is the stupidest idea ever this, one is ok because its just paint

you know? for crazy people and kids

Wow, that's cool. Don't listen to the naysayers of this comments section (no offence intended to any naysayers).

Ok markers, now that makes sense.  But a tattoo??  I read that elsewhere and I couldn't believe someone did that.

And as someone who doesn't visit Kotaku on a regular basis, I'd like to be informed whenever something totally rad like this rolls around- especially on slow news days. Thanks, Klepek. "

Oh I am so angry that a light-hearted story appeared on a slow news day. I'm not really, I'm just being silly and cute. Like this story. Which I must say was of more interest to me than hearing about bonus demos for games I'll never play in blu-rays I'll never buy. But I'm not complaining in the comments of that article, because I can always not read the stories I'm not interested in.

I went to Kotaku today and it was like "check out this fanart, check out this cosplay, check out this youtube video of a guy weaing cosplay".

I don't want daily news if it's gonna be some guy who drew Kirby on his arm with a marker. You could say "just don't read those articles" but that's why I don't go to most other websites. I don't wanna scroll down the front page, see a bunch o doof-business n close the tab. Less news is FINE, it makes the good shit easier to find.

I just realised I'm not a subscriber right now for some reason.

Wow lots of dudes getting angry over this. I happen to like coming to the site every day and finding more than one thing to read. You're not contracted to read everything guys, just skim past it.

Now, back to my immediate thoughts: Pure wonder and joy ruined by the hateful comments posted in response. This is one of the coolest things I've ever seen.

I'm impressed that it was able to pick up the drawings properly, considering they are poorly drawn. Pretty impressive.

Reminds me of this, which is a million times more impressive:

"Three-Story-tall Mii"
  

That is cool as hell.

Screw the haters!

You forget, once one website posts news that's its I guess.  You can only read about it at that one place.  How dare you receive that same news anywhere else!  I wonder how these people live their lives when they hear news on CNN but then see the same news on Fox.  It must blow their mind!! "

You're totally missing the point. It's not that the story is on both Kotaku and Giant Bomb, it's that it's a Kotaku quality story. If Kotaku broke a SERIOUS news story I'd expect it here too, but not fluff stories like this.

Kotaku is basically the Entertainment Tonight of video game news - sensationalised crap, unsubstantiated stories and Brian Ashcraft and co. fawning over Japanese school girls. Leave this kind of "Look it's a cake that looks like Gordon Freeman!!!" stuff to lame blogs like Destructoid (you know, that site that Jim Sterling killed).

We we're promised a NEWS guy, and instead we got another video game blogger. Sigh.

Another video game bloggger? Really? Patrick's articles so far have been of a quality that is not often seen (by me at least) on most video game websites. His articles on the Activision memos were fairly fascinating reads that I enjoyed immensely. Even if you do believe that this exact posting is insubstantial, that does not automatically expunge the rest of his work thus far on the site. "

Ok yeah, that's fair enough. I do agree that the Activision memos was great and maybe I overreacted a bit. But I don't want this website going down the "It's a slow news day, post something about Metroid underwear" path. I like Patrick, but I don't want Giant Bomb to become just another video game culture blog is all. "

Wow this site is full of high strung people.    Whoops, I mean, champions for quality.

Go get a subscription to any good gaming magazine and you'll get your fill of srs bznz newz. Giant bomb does what it wants.

kirby is so CUTE

Interesting. I look forward to seeing people create fake cards that don't look like what their supposed to look like, but work anyway. :)
