Do you get the joke that I made where I compared consumerism to being like a zombie? cus it's there.

Spoonybard Combining online shopping with a social networking game. I can see that as an attempt at drawing in girls who like shopping as a group. However, I lack the capacity to predict the effectiveness of this tactic, since I in no way comprehend what it is that makes so many girls select "shopping" as a preferred group activity.
TeflonDoc Is there a virtual foodcourt where you can pay $3 for a picture of a pretzel? Does a text box inform you that it tastes like salted cardboard?
Chalkdust I'm gonna drop and break sooo many virtual things
Ageusiatic The fact that it's disgusting is what makes it perfect for PoE TV. Sure, we can all see that it's a horrific idea in the first place, but what really solidifies it's place is that is just might actually work. Sure, we've seen stupid crap like the cuecat fail in the past, but there's also been some things along those lines that have worked.
Stay at home shopaholics will actually use this, we just have to depend on the internet to ruin it just like it ruins everything else.

The leveling system worked on the same principles. But I can't remember for the life of me the name of the game.
Syd Midnight Isn't that pretty much every social MORPG game ever? People using real money to buy their avatar a fake shirt and hair ribbons?
Ersatz Will there be security drones that follow around black avatars to make sure they don't shoplift anything?
Camonk Oh man all the fun of trying to shop while some mouth breathing wastoid who couldn't get a job in an office but still thinks he knows heavy shit about computer or whatever the fuck you're shopping for. Awesome. I always thought the one thing internet shopping was missing was the hard sell.
IrishWhiskey Oh thank god. I was constantly dropping things and being forced to pay for them at stores. And Amazon doesn't give me the ability to virtually pretend to hold a replica of the item. This is just perfect for me!
