Endless Racing Game demo is on the right track
A Dutch auto insurance company called VrijVerzekerd recently thought outside the box of flatulence simulators and gem-swapping puzzle games to come up with a truly brilliant iPhone offering. Titled Endless Racing Game (clever!), the application allows two or more users to sync their iPhones up via Bluetooth, then watch as a car drives between their mobile devices as they generate a continuous racing course.
If that explanation made little to no sense to you, check out the video demo after the jump. It's such a neat concept -- unfortunately, we don't think the iPhone has the install base needed to support that kind of multiplayer experience. Seriously, nobody has those things.

How much you wanna make a bet I can throw a football over them mountains?

Since we're talking about the iPhone, did anyone see the Engadget post on the screen Adobe made to blame the lack of Flash on Apple? Classic. The fanboy rage made us look like beginners!

How is that fanboy rage? That general anger at a company for not changing it stupid policies to let Flash on the iPhone, which by the way, used to be available when it first launched. Suddenly support was taken away.

You guys wanna get together at my place and do this, then?
I have snickerdoodles.
Special Agent Steve @ Nov 2nd 2009 10:17PM
That wasn't endless. My car went BOOM.
Darth Bradwart, Dark Lord of the Sith @ Nov 2nd 2009 10:23PM
Hence the sad face? ;)
Also, I'm surprised Taco hasn't commented on the fact that I got rid of the LG logo...
Special Agent Steve @ Nov 2nd 2009 10:27PM
That was just for you. Now I'll have to change it back to my awesome Mozilla Firefox Christmas logo. Time for the holidays :D.

Odd...I'm not showing that. It should be showing the logo for a certain Empire...
jahd5000 @ Nov 2nd 2009 10:18PM

Future of gaming right here. Serious. I've even seen charts and shit about iPhone games.
Das Boot @ Nov 2nd 2009 10:54PM
I saw what you did thar.
ahsayuninew @ Nov 2nd 2009 10:58PM
When does it get fun?
koehler83 @ Nov 3rd 2009 7:22AM
When you run out of table and your friends iPhone ends up falling 4 feet to the tile floor below and they collapse in a sniveling whimper.
derek @ Nov 2nd 2009 11:24PM
Did you guys even try it out? It's 100% nothing like that video. Never mind the fact that a bluetooth connection and the accelerometer could never accomplish something along those lines (maybe if you added the compass). It's quite literally a crappy spyhunter clone you play on a single iPhone until you reach the 60 second mark at which time a canned "cutscene" plays and the other "half" plays on whatever 2nd iDevice is connected via bluetooth. Then you continue the crappy spyhunter clone on another iPhone. Repeat ad nauseum. There's an actual gameplay video in the related videos on youtube. Check it out and and bask in it's lameness.
I'd be angry, but it's free and only consumed 5 minutes trying to get it to work, so I'll downgrade to being bummed. I could have spent those 5 minutes waiting for a Google Wave invite...
brian @ Nov 2nd 2009 11:46PM
this doesn't look that great.
xtremeholymuffin @ Nov 2nd 2009 11:52PM
ENOUGH WITH THE FUCKING LG LOGO ALL OVER THE FUCKING PLACE BRADWART
Darth Bradwart, Dark Lord of the Sith @ Nov 3rd 2009 12:14AM
Reply fail...
And I changed the bloody pic. It's not MY fault if the new one isn't showing up...
Enosoma @ Nov 3rd 2009 3:18AM
Gimmicky.
eldee @ Nov 3rd 2009 4:52AM
even if it worked the way the video advertised... who the hell wants to sort out 15 iphones to see whos was whos after all is said and done?
Dark Virus @ Nov 3rd 2009 5:23AM

gonintendo @ Nov 3rd 2009 11:48AM

Nadril @ Nov 3rd 2009 11:55AM
I see no issue with his avatar.
gonintendo @ Nov 3rd 2009 12:20PM
notice where she's looking and what he said.
Liquid man @ Nov 3rd 2009 11:15PM
If more games were this awesome and unique, I might actually consider getting an iphone
