Kiss Controller Update

DiRo Lab: "And that's what it felt like to play the Kiss Controller. It was hard; it was an interface I'd never tried before; I didn't have the hang of it, and it was frustrating! Add to that the fact that the entire audience is watching and telling me, "go left! GO LEFT!!" and you have an experience which is pretty much the opposite of romantic!"

This is just plain creepy. And what happens if you've not got a GF to hand. Do you grab your mom or sister?

That's a rhetorical question btw.

Wrong in almost every way. Just look at the misery on that girl's face. Made my day.

That was a kiss like choking someone to death is a loving embrace. She looked like she was being molested more than anything else.

While it is pretty stupid, this video is a more accurate demonstration.

In more simple words, from what I understand, you just move your tongues in the appropriate direction, and you are moving in the game. Not sure how he lets go of the ball though.

Oh well, it'll help most gamers get their first kiss.

That or I could just tell her to F___ off.
