PhoneSaber

Zak Reiter · **PhoneSaber** - July 15th, 2008, 11:39 PM #1

Mace Windu here, just coming by to tell you about the new intergalactic application that everyone’s buzzing about.

I spend too much time with these dang Padawans, showing them how to work a lightsaber and different ways to implement the Force. It really just makes my medichlorians boil when one of them is foolish and loses a limb over not using a lightsaber correctly. That’s where this application comes in.

I managed to convince the Council to buy each Padawan an iPhone under our school’s discount, and the kids love it. They can choose their own lightsaber color, and with each swing, the iPhone emits a certain sound. This allows me to teach my students control and restraint, because if you swing the iPhone too hard, it makes a clashing sound. Keeping it slow makes it emit swooshing sounds, like a brilliant saber slowly gliding through the air.

You might want to be careful when dueling with a partner, though. Getting too close might allow your blades to actually hit, and none of us want to deal with replacement fees. There have already been a few reprimands from Yoda about ‘finances’... It’s just not pretty.

One of my fellow Jedi Masters was telling me that he wanted to imitate some of the dual-bladed lightsabers, but he isn’t lucky enough to own two. We got talking about it, and figured out that you can equip your other hand with an OSX-equipped laptop, and install MacSaber, thus allowing full dual-wielding power.

Well, I should really be heading back to my ship. There’s a war to be fought, and plenty more padawans need to get PhoneSaber installed on their iPhones. Thanks for your time.

Wow. I salute you for that outrageously well done job of roleplaying. That was pretty ridiculous for a forum post. Well done my Jedi friend, well done.

May the Force be with you. Always.

Well the Force must not be with me. Tried to use wield my phone saber this morning for a round of epic battle but strangely I could not produce any sound. Now, I'm a Jedi outcast and even the Sith has refused my application.

Oh wait, appears that I mixed up my phone saber with my roommates saber touch. Never mind

I sense a disturbance in the Apple Care terms and conditions...

As if 1000's of phones buzzed out in terror and were suddenly silenced.

So tell me Zak, who shot first?

Zak Reiter · July 16th, 2008, 01:23 AM #9

One of them died, and the other was locked in carbonate. Don't push me with trivialities, I'm just content with the results.

This application made me realize how truly nerdy my family is. It's the first app not only on my dad's phone, but also my sisters' phones and my brother-in-law's phone. Okay... it's on mine too.
