This is a game of pong.

How to play:
There are 2 knobs. One knob controls the game's paddle and the other knob controls the "painful" function to be inflicted to your opponent. Some of the pain to be inflicted is a super hot burn, and a weed-whacking whip. Ouch!

why exactly would anyone want to play this. looks to me as these people need something better to do with their time and need an actual sense of humor that has nothing to do with burning people.

Some of the players say "Winning is much more fun because your opponent gets hurt." When they tested this system in public many people volunteered to play.

i sure wouldn't have volunteered. im not the kind of person who is amused at the pain of others.



well not unless they get hurt because i punched them in the nose :D

i read the documentation on the website and it says that victory is more satisfying because you have to go through pain to achieve it. in my eyes a victory is a victory and i'd rather win and not get hurt.

This is cooler. (http://www.techtv.com/screensavers/howto/story/0,24330,3450946,00.html)
I would rather get a small shock while playing mechassault than a burn from playing pong.

Heh, that's pretty damn cool! I might actually do that to my XB. Halo is way more fun when you get shot at and you feel it.

That has to be the dumbest thing I ever heard. Why would you want to feel being shot?! That has to be like being stabbed 20 times with a Katana.

Eeep...I don't like pain..so I would rather play that game...somewhere else where it doesn't give you pain. :D
