Next step in gaming: The Painstation
Original Posting:
In 2001, art collective /////////fur//// developed Painstation, a video game designed to punish the player’s poor performance. Based on the classic Pong, Painstation measures your skill and reacts to how you’re playing compared to your opponent. The right hand controls a simple joystick controller, while the left hand is placed about the PEU – Pain Execution Unit. The PEU contains a heating element, a miniature leather whip, and it’s connected to a circuit used to deliver electric shocks.
After years of fighting copyright and legal issues, the group recently announced they have begun construction on Painstation 2, which is expected to be released in the coming months.
Though as the article states... Bond did it first.
