Log on to virtual-fish.com and begin playing the flash-based virtual fishing game. This it not just a game however, for every fish you catch, you have the option of throwing it back in the lake, or adding it to your basket. When you've caught what you're looking for, you simply proceed to check-out,
pay, and have market-fresh fish delivered to your doorstep the following day!
Different species and sizes may be caught, and costs would reflect actual market prices according to season and availability.

i suspect the spelling is "doorstep" but i've been wrong before. |
|
| |
sounds like a lot of fun. + |
|
| |
Darn, I was picturing fly casting wearing nothing but waders and trench coat. |
|
| |
Can I fish for a whale shark and have that delivered? |
|
| |
...and the same option for venison? |

why, [norm], you are looking so ruggedly handsome today! |

The way I read this, I thought the author [shinobi] was going to add something to an already existing virtual-fish.com. The idea makes so much sense, I was completely thinking that it was already baked, and operational. |
|
| |
Like a flash mob event but when everyone arrives they all get their rods out. |
|
| |
I never thought the "buy over the Internet" thing was very attractive for things where freshness counts, like fish especially. Now, obviously it could work--they'll send you meat through the mail--but it seems like a big hassle. |
|
| |
So would I, but I fear it might impact somewhat on the business model. |
|
| |
you have a business model? is she tall? |
|
| |
Tall and svelte, but has an irrational fear of fisherrobots. |
|
| |
Catch a mermaid and get a stripper delivered? |
|
| |
I'm surprised no one has reported that something very
much like this--only for hunting--was going on in
Texas, or somewhere. |
|
| |
"Players" were hunters who got to remotely shoot a
deer from their keyboards. Not real sure of the
details, but as I remember, it was made illegal pretty
much everywhere. |
|
| |
Not in the spirit most hunters would like to promote. |
|
| |
//remotely shoot a deer from their keyboards//
People would pay soooo much to be able to control a
tripod-mounted sniper rifle that they could use to
shoot a deer over the internet. |
|
| |
You'd also need a Mars rover that could transport the
carcass to a drop point, to be shipped. |
|
| |
Ideally, the rover should have an attachment that
allowed deer to be 'finished off' if necessary. |
|
| |
Back to the idea, you should get a real fishing rod to
control and dump the fish in a net. I'll leave the trivial
engineering details to you. |
