More of a Rainbow Six (originals) / Flight Sim person myself. But Zelda is just kind of meh to me, never understood the hype.

I always though it would be crazy to have a heartbeat sensor, but with this and a bit of tinkering I think you could do much better for cheaper. Not only does everyone now transmit their location via their phones, but they also transmit their identity. It would be much easier to assault a room when you know not only where people are, but who the friendlies are.

Imagine if you will, walking down the street when your map suddenly shows a heavy concentration ofloose sluts with large breasts just on the other side of a wall. Your phone runs their bios, finds the one with daddy issues, searches her preferences and informs you that tequila makes her panties fall off, and then gives you a homing arrow which guides you to your prize.

But, but, but....I can just ask Siri to direct me to the nearest Apple Store and what floor it's on.

Hey look, a kid who thinks it's still cool to act smug about cell phone choices.

You'll forgive me. People are always so reasonable about this stuff, but I should have known better than to assume someone on Fark was actually a brainless troll.

/how's that for "sarcasm."

All you'll get is a map. If you want to know where the hell you are exactly, you'll also need to find the chest with the compass.

If only they hadn't disabled Google Maps on my cell phone.

I'm going to go to the Houlihan's. Roll to see if I'm getting drunk.

Great. Another reason for people to be looking down at their phone while blocking the walkway.

I downloaded it yesterday. It's interesting, even cool for about 5 seconds. I looked at the local airport, IKEA, and a Home Depot I go to regularly. The IKEA map has no detail about the departments, and doesn't show the "secret" passages in the upstairs showroom.

Might be useful in airports I don't frequent. Would be good to have maps of large hospitals. Also convention centers, though they'd have to work fast to map individual events. At least you'd know how far away you are from bloody Hall B.

get Conventionist, I got it for PAX east last year. Has a map, as well the schedule of events and you can set timers to remind you for the events you want to attend.
