Pikashoes!

edited December 2007 in Games
I stumbled on the Afrotech site and I have decided, since I will be buying a new pair of shoes soon that I think I may make one of these:
Pikashoes!

There's also a site with some more in-depth instructions in this link here..

Awesome!

    Whoa. If I had crappier shoes I'd totally try that.

    I remember back when I was in 8th grade, my friends were unbelievably excited about this.

    Then it kinda wore off after they couldn't get the shoes working.

    touch the victim on a sensitive area like their fingertips, neck, clitoris etc.
    OWNED. Get back in the kitchen!

    You have to scream PIKA every time you zap, too. Otherwise, it's not as cool.

    What's a negative ion generator?

    Like that awful ionic breeze thing you see advertised on TV for like six thousand dollars, except hooked up to you instead to a filter.

    It basically charges particles with an extra electron, so you have a whole bunch of extra electrons that are cut off from everything else (due to the insulation in your shoes) that jump away from you when you touch something.

    It's the same concept as rubbing your feet on carpet, except powered by batteries.

    I suppose you could positively charge yourself too, the main thing is that you need a different charge than your (neutral) surroundings.

    This would be so cool, but I'm honestly not in it for the pikachu benefits, I'm in it for the force lightinig benefits.

    I'm not sure though... it's got an asterisk by that part, and I always get wary when I see asterisks...

    I pay no attention to Asterisks! I laugh at them and their lameness!
