 The next step in gaming?
Intersting story about using electric pulses to influence people's movements. You could use this for everything, but one of the best things might be in games, to give you the sensation of really jumping away in a gunfight.
Or world domination off course.

Aside from the possible health risks this could entail, perhaps it is the first step toward 'holo-room' like technology, rather than video games as such.

True, from using electric currents to make you do something to using electric currents to trick you so you think you do something, while remaining still, might not be a very big step. But knowledge about the human brain is still very spotty.

Yea, what about drugs? Some of my best memories of gaming involve large quantities of *cough*legal?*cough* drugs. Now there's a way to get the pulse hammering! Plus the graphics look so much better.

Alchohol doesn't improve your CS performance. Fact.

First of all, just how are you supposed to kick my ass at 'CSS'? Are we going to open up a notepad file and start slamming away webpages?
Secondly, if you meant CS. Then, you should prepare to get pwned!

Well *cough* i have only played CS. But i pwned at that, and therefore i shall pwn at CS:S.
My weapons of choice for CS were obvious. Aug/Stg when i could afford em, M4 when i could not.

Yeah on my other forums it takes at least 1-2 pages of discussion to go off topic.
