Appreciate this article is NOT about Driverless cars but..
Recently Fortnite announced the news that they were adding pets to their game.
I appreciate that some of you have come on to this blog to escape the constant shouts of “Die,Die,Die” from your youngsters but I shall continue.
After my son exclaimed his friend had got a dog and then established it was a Fortnite one I watched his screen and came to the conclusion that Fortnite programmers had missed a trick by not including Dog Poo Bags (DPB’s)
A DPB in the hands of a child assassin could be one of the games most potent weapons. Imagine a rocket launcher that shoots DPB’s and not only that imagine the great graphics to be had as it hits an opponent especially a head shot!!
Imagine also the havoc with the ability to also drop DPB’s on other players as they parasol in with the glorious sight of DP covered parasols appearing on screen.
It doesn’t look like the dogs get any exercise so that could be added in as well so you could have the scenario where players are poised and ready to strike BUT have to wait for their dogs to stop sniffing a plant or taking a poo or other inter dog activities!!
DP left on the ground could also become a new weapon in its own right and its introduction could spawn a brand new Fortnite dance performed by angry players who stand in it.
If the game ever includes smells into then this would be a killer app.
Driverless Cars will never take off
