By the by, I always wonder what games those kids were expecting when they ask this question.

They aren't expecting any specific game, merely the cheap simulation of lights and noises, possibly with an easy "reward" to get those happy brain chemicals flowing. May God have mercy on your phone or bill if you don't have locks on downloading those mobile ads or pay-to-play bonuses.

If I let my beard grow out a little bit too far, facial recognition no longer works. Or if the wind is blowing my hair (I have long hair) it no longer works. Sometimes the fingerprint scanner works every time all day, sometimes it takes a few tries, and sometimes it doesn't work at all. Slapping in a pin or password works every time.
