"It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that these games are perfect for breaking the ice when you’re meeting someone for the first time, or to flirt with the cute girl who sits next to you in history class."
Is this how people break the ice and flirt these days, or am I now entering the stages of being an old-timer (23yrs. old)?
- jkincaid 16y agoDepends on the person, I guess. When I mentioned to the Koduco guys that this seemed like it would be a pretty fun game to flirt/play with a date, they agreed.
- malloreon 16y agoWhat was the likelihood they'd say "no, our game is no fun to flirt with/on dates?"
- px 16y agoI imagine that "Hey, want to play PongVaders?" will be quite irresistible.
- jkincaid 16y agoNo, more like "Hey, I've got this game that's sorta like Pong, want to play?" The game requires sitting within a foot or two of each other and using teamwork to steer through the 'physical' parts. I really don't think this idea is so far fetched, but I'm not exactly Rico Suave, either.
- vsprabhakara1 16y agojust think back to why you played flipcup in college...
- inmygarage 16y agoAs a female I would say unequivocally YES. I am dying to have someone ask me if I want to play PongVaders with them...

- kineticac 16y agonever thought about using it as a tool for flirting or breaking the ice. but sounds like a perfect way for geeks to have fun!
- points 16y agoOnly slight hiccup is no one has an iPad. The chances of meeting a hot girl, who has an iPad, who is in your history class, are 0.
- edanm 16y agoI think the point was, if you're a tech geek (as most TechCrunch readers are), you'll have an IPad and can invite people to play with you.
