Biofeedback Game Soothes Minds

Posted by simoniker on Monday September 15, 2003 @01:31PM from the my-chakra-ran-over-your-mumm-ra dept.

Thanks to GameSpot for their story trailing the November release of the biofeedback based PC/Mac game, Wild Divine. This previously Slashdot-covered, very unconventional title uses a "biofeedback component [to] measure a player's galvanic skin response (GSR) and heart rate variability", and in a quoted gameplay example, "...a player who's required to lower a floating feather won't be able to do it until moving into a somewhat meditative state." Unfortunately, the newly announced "introductory price of $129.95", including biofeedback hardware, may cause a little muscle tension, but the official site has new info on hands-on demo locations.

I think we have another candidate for "Most Over-Hyped Game."

I think your error came in where you wrapped the aluminum foil. If I recall correctly, the aluminum foil was supposed to wrap snuggly around one's testicles. That should take care of it for you.
Now, you probably don't have your Atari anymore but I have a working version of this working on mine. Why don't you cum over some time and I'll hook you up to it? It'll be fun.
I'll bake a cake.
