Yeah, I mean to comment on that as well and forgot. It is pretty sad, especially given this was an article on wired.com. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liquid_sky Posted March 10, 2002 Share Posted March 10, 2002 It sounds like something you would see on a late night sci-fi show as a "punishment device" for disloyal humans.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markimus of K. Posted March 10, 2002 Share Posted March 10, 2002 Hate to disagree with most of you, but the Painstation looks like the coolest idea in ages. I'd buy one! as always, Markimus of K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtariDude Posted March 11, 2002 Share Posted March 11, 2002 I read the article in Wired. I understand that some people refuse to let go even when they are losing because it makes you look wimpy that you do. Someone was even bleeding and still refused to let go. I think Sony is also trying to get the name changed since it is too close to the playstation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MegaManFan Posted September 11, 2002 Share Posted September 11, 2002 Some gamers are notorious for searching out, finding, and using all sorts of cheats, hacks, pre-programmed level skips, end-arounds, et cetera. Imagine this philosophy extended to the Painstation. What ways would people "cheat" the system? A few ideas come to mind.. * Soak your playing hand in ice for long periods of time to dead the nerves. * Get rip-roaring drunk and have somebody prop you up on a chair to play. * Inject novacaine into specific areas of your hand right before the game starts. * Rewrite/hack the program so your pain level is decreased by 50%, or perhaps.. * Rewrite/hack the program to INCREASE your opponent's pain level by 50%. * Stick your arm in a mannequin arm and still play the game with a fake hand. Any other ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariDude Posted September 12, 2002 Share Posted September 12, 2002 Hack the program so that you receive no shock at all regardless of how badly you do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerGnome Posted September 29, 2002 Share Posted September 29, 2002 Wasn't this Idea presented in an early 80's Roger more James bond movie? Octapussy I think it was in any case, Mr. Bond has just Met his Nemisis for the first time ina morocon casino, where his nemsis challanges him to a video game/ the video game is some kind of pool table shaped battlefield game, and each opponant must do battle, and the player feels the pain of his dying troops thru the joystick?

Lemmi Posted September 29, 2002 Share Posted September 29, 2002 Page 50 in the new Maxim magazine (oct 2002) has a description of the pain station in it here is the last line of it Why would anyone create something so sadistic?

I had forgetten about that. I don't remember exactly which movie it was (I remember that Connery was playing Bond at the time). I remember that he won at the end (you knew that Bond had to win at the end). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerGnome Posted September 30, 2002 Share Posted September 30, 2002 I couldve sworn it was a Moore Bond, but YEAH! I got back up on this! it was early eighties, But I remember watching this on that new fangled HBO thing as a kid. but quite frankly, I would love for drunken hooligans to play the pain station at the pub, it would be just as amusing as watching the same hooligans try to hit on the wait staff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariDude Posted November 24, 2002 Share Posted November 24, 2002 What would you estimate to be the realistic chances that this game will come stateside? 3 %? 10%? more? less? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy_Dude Posted November 24, 2002 Share Posted November 24, 2002 How could a Coctail video game be evil? Reminds me of Alien Nation. The aliens couldn't stand salt water so there was a machine that 2 of them where strapped in and they pressed a button to fire Salt water at each other. I forget the point but I think it was punishemet for something I'd call the painstation a Psychological experimet rather than a game. Still, I want 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
