Tongue-Controlled Gameboy Advance SP Launched

Hangin10 writes "Simmunity Corporation and newAbilities Systems Inc. is going to introduce a specially modified tongue-controlled Gameboy Advance SP for young people with quadriplegia. They say 'We retrofit the Gameboy Advance SP with an internal PIC microcontroller to decode the wireless tongue transmitter signals and activate the GBA buttons. Games which do not require multiple simultaneous button presses can be played. We also offer custom games and special programs for augmented communication.'"

      I was playing Quake (or was it Doom? -- LONG time ago!!) against a Russian friend of mine once. He had the rocket launcher and was hiding in a little cave waaay up on the first level (you know the one -- kill two grunts, go around a square wall into a room with an S curve and acid pools; look up and left).

      Anyhow, he saw me running by, and told me he was going to lick my ass.

      I laughed so hard, the little bastard actually managed to shoot me.
