Do you need proof that I’m a incredibly lame gamer? Here’s two quick facts:
1. I was counting down the days until the Australian version of Buzz was finally released last week, and belted to the closest JB HiFi to buy it, ike a German Shepherd suddenly spotting the ocean.
2. After pondering the possibility of purchasing a Xbox 360 recently, I eventually came to the conclusion that my primary motivation was because I could play UNO on it. This actually caused me to get incredibly angry with myself.
Yet I can’t stop playing UNO on my phone. In fact, there’s a great feature of iPhone UNO, called Jump-In:
The idea is that if you’re holding the same card that someone’s just played, you can use Jump-In and play it. Even if it’s not your turn.
This got me to thinking that it’d be bloody brilliant if you could use Jump-In in any real life situation. Gone are the days when you would impatiently stand behind someone at an ATM machine that requires you to swipe your card at a very particular speed – you could simply scream “JUMP IN!”, then barge over and swipe their bloody card for them.
Maybe you’ve walked past a cafe and spotted someone being served a delicious pasta meal. Which you happen to have eaten before. Scream “JUMP IN!” then gallop over and swipe the plate from under their nose.
I don’t even need to illustrate how useful Jump-In becomes if you visit a strip club, and you simply happen to have received a lapdance at some point in your life.
If the government passed the Jump-In Act as legal legislation, how would you use it?

Wow, you’ve actually managed to work out how to play the iPhone UNO! I’m impressed because I sure as shit can’t figure it out. I’m addicted to Yahtzee now.
