    I realise this should go in gadgets but I think it deserves a Lounge slot.

    Some of you may have already heard about this but for those who havn't.

    Yes ladies and gentlemen, OCZ have invented a way to play games using the power of your mind.

    I saw this advertised on a site a few minutes ago and had to see what it was all about.

    This video may be a little unfair but I think it probably shows what this amazing thing is really like.

    To put it simply, the single most incredibly LAME idea ever to enter the gaming market..... possibly with the exception of the Xbox :p

    This just had me in hysterics.

    140 bucks for that? Ummmm - how about no. I agree, pretty lame.

    I, uh, could forgive her the voice . . . ;) I guess she has big mojo in Japan or Korea. Very well known I'm given to understand.

    Only Stupid hot people can do a 7 minute item on a gadget in which you still don't know how it actually works but then again they're perfect for their target audience who'll buy this crap.

    Its one of those things you should actually buy now if you can find a cheap one,keep it in its packaging then in 50 years then sell it to our grandchildren so they can laugh at how stupid we were.

    Thanks for the link Nedlamar.

    Look, I know how crazy this sounds, but ... has anyone heard of virtual reality sex games used in ... illegal ways? PM me, please. I'm not looking to join one, believe me.

    Let's say theoretically someone was unwantingly a participant in such a game ... beyond the obvious, i.e, unplugging everything what else could he/she do?

    No, but if there is it wouldn't be surprising. Sex makes money and for as long as that happens and there are depraved people out there, I'm sure there will be illegal things going on surrounding it. The internet or gaming world isn't going to be any different than other venues.

    Honestly, Major Geeks is really not the place to be asking that. We are a PG-13 site. There has never been anything like that discussed on here. If you are really intent on finding info out there, I would suggest doing searches on Google for it.

    The original post (not the fact that Tim's worn out two :() reminds me of William Gibson's 'Neuromancer'. It's only a matter of time before people are literally jacked in. :-D

    There were two 'movies' that instantly sprung into my mind.

    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0114558/

    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120907/

    I'd be the first to 'jack in':) I'm sick of using a mouse and I'd love to be totally immersed in a different world.

    I know for a fact that if there were a machine that could do that I would buy it and I would become addicted to it spending every waking moment in it and people would term me as someone who 'has a problem'

    So yeah I know it would ruin any remnant what's considered my normal life but I still want one:-D

    Thinking I'm going to check those movies out. They look good.

    You ever read 'Snow Crash', Rikky? You could totally be the main character, Hiro Protagonist. :-D

    He's a sword wielding pizza delivery guy for the mob for a day job, but then jacks himself into the 'metaverse' which is basically a reality based internet where people live other lives.

    Just the way you said "I'd be the first to 'jack in':) I'm sick of using a mouse and I'd love to be totally immersed in a different world." made me think of that.

    You'd make a great sword carrying pizza guy. LOL

    Its a great name, though..Hiro Protagonist. heh
