  • "Yay, I got a kill!"

    http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_1194672.html?menu=

    A Texan hunter wants to give computer gamers the chance to kill things for real with the click of a mouse.

    John Lockwood has already hooked up guns to the internet to let people shoot targets on his Texas ranch.

    Now he wants to let fans shoot live game through his website, live-shot.com, reports the New York Post.

    Mr Lockwood intends to have the remote hunts running early next year with virtual hunters paying up to £40 an hour.

    They will be be able to use their computer mouse to operate a camera and rifle pointed at a game feeder set up to attract animals.

    Hunters would have to pay more if they kill an animal - up to £1,000 for a buck deer, although there is no guarantee they will see any game.

    "I've gotten hate mail calling me a sick, despicable redneck," said Mr Lockwood, 39, a lifelong hunter.

    "But the technology for hunters keeps evolving, from bowhunting to high-powered rifles. This is just another step forward, another tactical advantage."

    Kevin Armstrong, president of the New York Bowhunters Association, was not impressed.

    "Sitting remotely and pushing a button to kill another animal is nothing but perverse 21st-century slaughter," he said.

        Mom> Son, what are you doing?
        Son> Hunting big game
        Mom> That's nice dear. Don't forget to clean up your room, take out the garb...
        Son>Mom! Shut up! You made me just miss a bald eagle!

        Using the internet to point and click at wildlife hundreds of miles away simply cannot classify as hunting, that is unless that guy sends you your kill through FedEX so you can eat it for dinner that night. Otherwise it's just murder. I'd like to point and click that sick motherfucker and see how he likes his adpating technology, between his eyes!

            Its just dumb. This is the kind of shit that leads to extinction of animals. Generations from now they'll be looking back and calling us savages and retards and shit. Digging our hole deeper. Not good at all.

              Maybe I could convert this into a fly-swatter and have random people through out the world rid my room of pesky pests for free.

                I live in San Antonio TX, and let me tell you there is no shortage of deer in Texas.

                  Imagine if the military comes up with androids controlled like you control a CS player, like they have with these hunting turrets. Imagine the next generation super-solider being a CS player.... hell, with people like me around, nothing would stop us. ^_-

                      WHat happens when a guy accidentally walks in front of the gun thinking no one is online and the person, who's detached from the reality that they are killing a real person, shoots. Good game, one less psycho redneck.

                              More importantly, how much would they charge?
