HEADBANG ROULETTE: AN EASY WAY TO KILL SOME TIME WHEN YOU SHOULD BE WORKING

Hoo-ray for SMN, who brought HEADBANGroulette to our attention. In case you somehow managed to miss the whole Chatroulette trend and therefore don’t immediately understand the joke, basically it’s a site where you can go and watch a randomly selected video of someone headbanging, and then, if you get bored of that, click a button marked “Next” and watch a different randomly selected video of someone headbanging.

I just lost a good five minutes of my life futzing with the site, and while I guess it does get kinda old after a while, I gotta say, I never got the same video twice, and all the videos were entertaining in some regard or another — so bravo to whomever is wasting his or her life compiling these clips. Of course, the ones of amateur YouTube ‘bangers are way more entertaining than the ones just culled from music videos and concert footage, but, still.

One complaint: it would be great to have a live component (which would actually be more in the vein of Chatroulette, where all the chat takes place in real time), where maybe you could just cycle through people headbanging for their computer cameras. Of course, that might also lead to just an abundance of dudes jerking off for the cam, as is the case with Chatroulette — but I guess then, at least, there’d be a little sumpin’ sumpin’ for the ladies.
