Someone Will Die Playing a Game In Virtual Reality

SlappingOysters writes: Grab It has detailed a hands-on session with horror VR title Kitchen — from Resident Evil creator Capcom — and argues how the physical reaction to the experience could lead to death. The site also believes that classifying VR games will be a challenge and many titles could be banned. Virtual Reality has a big year ahead, with the HTC Vive, Oculus Rift and Project Morpheus all set to release, while Microsoft is working on the HoloLens, which the site argues adds a further challenge to traditional gaming.

    Way to some crazy how insert your fucking politics on healthcare into another situation that doesn't merit it.

    As to why people don't fix pot holes etc... because the government has no incentive to do it. Which actually begs the question of why you think a system that doesn't care about pot holes is going to care about that throbbing brain tumor you're got growing between your ears. :D

    Seriously... How is the government doing running public education? Impressed?

    Have you seen how the government runs the VA hospitals? Impressed?

    Then you'll love public healthcare!

    How someone can be so fucking stupid and yet get through life not having that tattooed on their foreheads to warn anyone that looks at them... is one of the many actual flaws of this society.

    Here's the reality chump, the problems with the cost of healthcare in the US are largely due to government regulation. Look at the top three floors of most hospitals and you'll see they're full of office space with people doing paper work. All of that has to be billed to patients and insurance companies or even the government. And that doesn't even account for the cost inflation of drugs. Why are drugs pretty much anywhere on planet earth cheaper than in the US even though we invented a good many of them here? Regulations.

    That people like you consider the previous or current healthcare system to be a free market system is indefensible. It is nothing of the kind. Everything is highly regulated and quite a few of them cause run away cost inflation or remove any ability to control costs.

    Do you see hospitals bidding against each other? Competitive pricing? The only people I see actually offering something akin to free market healthcare are the cosmetic surgery people. But if you don't want breast implants or hair plugs... then apparently you have to deal with some sort of quasi socialized healthcare dystopia... and anyone that doesn't like that... like me or anyone else that is paying attention... we can of course go fuck ourselves because people like you give us no fucking choice. Thanks for that.

    Where is my right choose what is done to my body which would include any aspect of healthcare? Apparently everyone else gets to choose but me.

    On and on. And then when you're upset with the cost of healthcare... your fucking solution is what? MORE REGULATIONS!!!

    You baffle me, sir... why is your brain not floating in a jar of formaldehyde? You are a fucking marvel.
