To The Pain

Posted by michael on from the pain-and-consequences dept.

Reedo writes: "If you enjoy gaming and pain, this is for you. Two German designers have developed the Painstation, which is basically a revamped Pong. Except for one major difference - The PEU(Pain Execution Unit), which delivers a dose of pain to your left hand in the form of heat, punches or electroshock, when you mess up."

      Actually I'm glad we can't... If we could, I'm quite
      sure I'd actually get and install Windows, and I don't want
      to hurt my beloved computer that badly. ;)

    The funniest part was about the idiots who stuck to it because they didn't want to back down in front of an audience. This game will be great at separating showy meatheads from people who listen to their inner Pavlov despite their vanity.

    "Yeah, but I didn't know you were going to be giving me electric shocks... just what are you trying to prove here, anyway?"

    Indeed.

    You can't sue us because you got carpal tunnel syndrome. Thats a FEATURE OF THIS KEYBOARD!!! Marketing information has clearly shown that people who work with computer equipment WANT to be in pain.
