Meet Magneto Man, the kid with a static chargePosted by: admin in Oline Networking NewsI was afraid of this. The mutants are real, and they’re here, and they’re geeky kids, just like in the movies. Meet “Magneto Man”, an unfortunate young man who generates a static charge powerful enough to break personal as he uses them. We’d a kid like this in my grade school, though he’d have to use […]

Ideally, this is so the driver can view GPS information while the passenger watches porn, but we know this is going to end up modded with some Xbox trickery into showing dual Halo 3 screens.
