Video Games to Help You Relax

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the like-ritalin-only-different dept.

An Anonymous Coward writes: "Irish game developers have unveiled their latest project, a game that helps you to relax, through the use of electrodes that are attached to a player's fingers and as the person relaxes, their dragon moves faster. The game uses galvanic skin response technology which works by measuring the ability of the skin to conduct electricity."

    WHOEVER PUMPS THEMSELVES UP THE MOST goes fastest.

    unfortunately, if you pump yourself up with capital letters, you encounter the lameness filter. i am staying very relaxed about the lameness filter. i too can pass through the lameness filter, like a peaceful ship passing under a quiet bridge. look at that dragon go.
