Pizza Time!


What kind of improvements can current generation game systems make? Tighter controls? Better graphics? More games? Better online interactions? Being able to order a pizza?

Wait, what? What's pizza got to do with video games? Well, it's absolutely a popular food selection for gamers. This is more or less true, especially with gamers who spend a lot of time playing. Ordering a pizza is easy, right? You used to have to just give them a call. You can now do it from your PC using your web browser, or your smart phone using apps. Well now, you can also use the inline app on your Xbox 360...


I'm not making this up. You can actually order a Pizza Hut pizza using your Xbox 360... How many times have you thought, “Well, I'm hungry. Let me order a pizza using my gaming console.”? Think about this for a moment, even in the best of ways, how is this relevant, or useful? In the best case scenario, you will have to quit your game, or turn your console on to use this feature. In the perfect scenario, you will have to order your pizza immediately before, or after, you play your game.

The only way that this would make an ounce of sense would be if you were making the pizza out of video game components. What would you like on your pizza today? Okay, I've got a Blu-Ray crust, with candy colored A, B, X, and Y buttons, got some ground up analog stick sprinkled on it. You want a drink with that? Okay how about some liquid silicon juice?

With all of the stupid, convoluted ideas to come out of the video game industry as of late, this has got to take the cake(should I say pie?). You would think that hardware and software designers have better things to do than to give us one more way to order a fucking pizza. Seriously, who thought of this? Michelangelo?

  1. Michelangelo might have thought of it, but Donatello had to be the one to make it. You know he's the only one who can work with tech.

    I just can't wait till people start complaining that their kids ordered 20 pizzas by accident.

  2. This really has to one of the dumbest ideas ever. But then think about how dumb the generation that is growing up with it is. I really have no hope for our future and this up and coming generation.
