I don’t know how often people tell me I need to try ChatRoulette. Ummm, no. I don’t care if it is the “hottest thing evar!” or that it is “created by a 17yr old Russian kid.” I’m still not doing it….and this is why.
 
I have to admit, I tried Chat Roulette once. I saw it featured on the Daily Show, saw it featured again on Saturday Night Live, and figured I'd see what it was about. It wasn't really fun or interesting. I think I'd have more luck finding conversation in a Yahoo Chatroom thatn you would have chat roulette since you get nexted tons, have to see lots of perverts inbetween real chats and real chats tend to only last 2-3 minutes til the person gets an add attack.

I think on a ratio of female:male, it was probably 1:8. It seems a lot of the times I had decent conversations, I wasn't nexted so much as the connection dropped. Their web-camera stopped updating and any text you send doesn't get responded to until after exactly 3 minutes from their last mesage it says the partner has dropped connection (180 second time-out?)
 
I've seen it on tosh.o and The Daily Show. Don't go there unless you like nkd dudes.

It's basically a website that's the equivilent of using msn/yahoo messenger/aol or something like that and you get a random friend invite from someone you have never meet before in your life. They start talking with you about ...whatever and doing a web-camera chat till they get bored or you get bored and you block eachother and effectively never see eachother again in your life.

So like really short conversations with strangers in a row with the ability to say 'next' at anytime and get a new stranger. Who can also 'next' you at any time. Think of it as a one of those speed dating / match-making activities were you switch tables and are introduced to a bunch of people over a short period of time. The exception is in this case, you have no chance of ever establishing a long or meaningful relationship. All the ackward, none of the payoff.
 
Jon Stewart's explanation last week on "The Daily Show" told me all I needed to know.. that ChatRoulette is full of naked guys, reporters and guys playing Wii Craps and Butterchurn.. while masterbating!!

Hmmm so the video this guy makes starts out mentioning "12 year old swedish girls..." then "I decided to do this to make a movie..."

I see where he's going, the perfect alibi when the FBI busts his door down for trying to proposition young girls over chat!!!
 
He does have a good looking girl friend tho helping him... I don't think he's so much in the pervert category.

Having said that, I would have probably nexted his friend once I finished... :) damn, that's nasty, and I don't even have a web cam.
 
Hope he didnt really axe a working laptop just to make this video.

The video was really well done though, I liked the pacing and atmosphere of it.
 
Ah yes...I recall a few months ago when my college dorm suite first discovered chat roulette. That was an interesting week. I witnessed accordion battles, nunchucks, masturbation races, the occasional shock sex photo, one instance of child porn, a whole lot of next button pushing, and once when a guy put his face on another guy's ass as part of a dare to get a girl to show her boobs (she didn't).

Needless to say I don't have too high an opinion of the site.
 
hmmmm....wouldn't that make it Russian Roulette? :D

here's some news:
president's kid was on chat roulette and the joness bros were on it asking people to take their clothes off ..

so much for purity rings
 
Yes, I know what this is. My roommates having been trolling the fuck out of it.

1st time they put up a 2-minute loop of a normal 5 year old kid on a webcam. Except they would say outrageous things and cuss up a storm. They'd be like "show me your boobs" to women and the chicks would be like "WTF? you're so young". Then another time a guy was like "Does your mom know your on here?" and the "child" would say back "Does your mom know your a faggot?". People would be like "oh my god, this kid's crazy".

2nd time my roommates put up a animated loop of this nerdy 12-year with an O face. Not kidding. The people that connected were mostly shocked and said things like "What the fuck???". After going through groups of really confused guys, we connected to this group of mexicans and they just burst out laughing. Finally someone got the joke.

I like how the mentally challenged mac luser has a BSOD background, I guess Mr. Super Hacker never heard of a kernel panic...

Yes, it makes himself feel technically superior with great Apple products. This full grasp of things high tech explains why he is using a camcorder to poorly capture the LCD instead of using a screen capture utility. Hmmm, moire. Guess they didn't have one at the Apple store.
 
Yet another seriously unhealthy social networking idea.

This is even worse than most. It's pretty much: How to get your kid noticed by a pervert in 60 seconds or less.

Would you, as an adult, engage every random person you could talk to on an average city street for fun? No? Neither would I... so what makes it any more fun like this?

As a system Engineer who has worked in a Windows environment for many years using only Macs for development i can save with 100% assurance that i have never seen a kernel panic either.
:p
 
Never used it never will. I have friends in the 'real world' with whom I can have a 'chat' with. I see no reason to engage is some half-conversation, half-slideshow with some perverted foreigner.
Does not appeal.
 
We played chat roulette at my college once - I was just watching - my room mate and one of his friends were on it and drunk. They got a big black man as their roulette partner and they said that a girl across the hall would show her tits if they found a big black man on CR. However, instead of this, the one kid tucked his package back and made a mangina, then turned around and gave the guy the goat view...

After watching this, I decided to not use or play chat roulette at all.
 
The stupid thing about this, I think, is that there are plenty of video chat sites which don't involve getting nexted 50 times per hour, and where the male/female ration is more like 50/50.
