Chatroulette; good or bad?

[Svartfalk]

What is your opinion on Chatroulette, Omegle and the like?
Is it okay for that to be what it is or should it change?
And while we're at it, what is your worst experience of it?

Mine: Fat, naked, hairy man...

 

[standokan]

I don't think it'll work, ever, there will always be trolls and naked hairy men

my experience: I don't want to talk about it

This pretty much says everything about chatroulette you would want to know.

I think this video sums it up:

Quoted for truth, which is why I have never used any of those things and probably never will. Though I wouldn't say that my opinion means it should be changed or not exist. I'm just indifferent to it.

I think this video sums it up:

When I read the Topic I immediately thought of this scene.
Well played, my good sir.

On Omeegle my chats are usually this:

Stranger: Male or female?

You: Male

Stranger has disconnected.

Still, every so often there's good ones, and it's always fun to read those examples of people messing with other chat users on the internet.

I'm not going anywhere near the video chat though, from what I hear it's usually just someone masturbating in front of a camera, which really isn't what I want to see.

All my experience comes from "artoftrolling.com", so I think it's amazing, even if I'd never use it myself.

Lol, so I'm not the only one
Cheezeburger network is awesome. The "dude wanting to jack off" countered by "Very effective sexual pokemon" ones are the best.

It's basically a summation of humanity, the way I see it. All the good, bad, ugly, beautiful, smart, and ignorant mixed up in one.
And a lot of dudes expecting hotties to show up.
And a lot of jacking it.

... Chatroulette still exists? This is the first time I've heard it mentioned in well over a year. That said, I have trouble grouping with strangers in MMOs, I don't think I'll ever muster the courage to chat with randomly picked strangers.

I usually go on Omega to pretend that I am killing zombies, and I go on chatroulette to troll people by making them think I am doing a tally on people who use chatroulette, pretending to stamp in answers on my table(I make it look like I am using a real stamp).

Both are fun.

I go on Omegle every once in a while, and usually end up with a pretty good conversation. I even met a guy from Canada that I became pretty good friends with, I still talk to him every time I see him online on Steam or Xbox Live.

It all makes up for the conversations that go like

Stranger: Male or female?

You: Male

Stranger has disconnected.
