playing with webcams is fun

My choice: Computer + webcam

because I want to steal the tech for other things. But in practice, isn't something like "mousetraps under pieces of paper" or even just leaving marbles around the usual approach?

Hilarious videos will undoubtedly result.

There are too many cute kitten videos on YouTube. Put up some scaredy cat videos!

Not having a computer sit there on counterspace is nice.

Standalone is more fun. Too easy to do with computer + webcam.

If you make a stupid choice because a website tells you to, it's your own damn fault.
