Over on the Ask A Pro forum I asked for some help setting up a Wireless Pocket Computer to send text to a wireless main computer hooked up to a monitor, so that I could prank at least my server-owner friend. Here's the end result:

(Apologies for the video quality and/or flickering, I dunno why my Minecraft videos have been flickering like this, doesn't normally happen with other videos I record and process. Also apologies for the awkward jump-cut, I was half asleep and forgot to actually edit the video last night.)

Well, y'know. I was working with what I had at the time :D/> I was mostly going for rampant-AI style creepiness, such as the aforementioned AM from I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream (A game that I know my friend likes quite a bit). The "BEHIND YOU" thing was shamelessly lifted straight from the later stages of Eversion, one of my favourite little games. All in all I had fun with it, though!

This is a great idea. You could use something like this for a haunted house. If a specific text is displayed then do an operation.

example: If you type, "There is no escape." the room closes up and the floor opens to lava.

Or maybe you could make some sort of test-crazy psychopathic artificially intelligent computer system who basically tries to kill every and anyone, in any way, including but not limited to the usage of deadly neurotoxin.

Cake, anyone ?

I don't trust the cake, the cake is a lie!
But nevermind that, The suggestion there would be cool if you used it with the sensor peripheral as well :3

That was actually pretty funny. He seemed genuinely scared for a moment there. You should've made a cake reference.
