Was in a conversation the other day about webcams, and gaming, and I got to thinking...you know, I bet not too far in the future, at least I hope so, you will be able to use a webcam in a multigame as your live portrait. Wouldn't that be cool? I reckon once it became the norm, I can see a huge market for gaming outfits LOL, i.e., helmets, masks, etc., so you look the part re what character you are if you wish. I can see it being also very hilarious with your friends. I know I'd be hamming it up, if I got close to dying I'd make some horror face or something LOL. Oh the plethora. :D And it could also be hilarious if you can go into one of those massive multiplayer online games, and add some stranger to your party, who knows what you'll get! I'm sure the weirdos will have a field day with it as well LOL. [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

What do yall think? And maybe that technology is already in progress or existence? If it isn't, it should be. :D

Imagine playing some MMORPG some day, and you are eating a pizza while running to this-or-that town. There's this PKer running around, randomly targetting people to attack, and ZOMFG! he notices you are holding a pizza in one hand, a brew in the other, and using auto-run. Who do you think just got painted a target? [img]tongue.gif[/img] Hell, I'd attack you just to see your reaction in that little live portrait window.
Yeah, it'd be cool anyway.

You could sure tell the people that spend entirely too much time in game land, even if they didn't have a costume...

Turn the webcam on an empty couch with a controller lying on it to confuse the players.

Also, I doubt this will work too well considerring there will be to much room for mischief- if you know what I mean.

Yep, its a great idea, and I believe there are some Korean and Japanese games that already do it, though I believe it runs into a few privacy issues, and caused alot of problems with immature retards making fun of people.

I think it'd be cool playing with friends, but I do have to wonder if on those big games online you'd end up with views of body parts or something! LOL
