You know you've got a problem when you're openly advertising your product as "the lamest electronic game ever developed," but that isn't stopping the makers of this goofy rock-paper-scissors keychain. The unit features a little LCD that randomly blinks out one of three pre-programmed RPS patterns, and is sold in packs of two so you and a friend can roshambo for shotgun without all that unnecessary physical movement (and groin kicking). If you can work up the effort to click a few buttons, this wonder of the modern age can be yours for just $8.89.

Excuse me, but I believe most of us are here specifically for the groin kicking.

I prefer russian roulette myself. Is there a gadget for that?

Yes, it's called a gun ;)

Does it connect through USB?

Can the LCD be re-programmed to display cat-microwave-tinfoil?

Yes, but can it run a nintendo emulator?

Probably not but I wouldn't be surprised if someone finds a way to put Linux on it.

Do companies feel no environmental guilt when releasing a useless product such as this?

There's no way that this is tournament legal.

Yeah, but what's to stop you generating your strategy on it beforehand?
It's sacrilege to bring such a majestically strategic game down to the level of a common game of chance. I bet this was brought out by the Tossers*.
*Tossers: Those who make decisions based on a coin toss. c.f. 'Pissers', a derogatory name for those who use Paper Scissors Stone (PSS). This name calling was the reason it was changed to 'Rock Paper Scissors'.

with only three settings, is it really random, or just a sequence?

wait, I gotta press a FEW buttons to play? EXPLATIVE That, If I'm going to be a lazy ro-sham-bo'er I am only going to want to push one button (for each of the three possible outcomes) I am so outraged I'm going to blog about this.
