pretty scary - tech is evolving so fast these days

think provoking fafnir with your thoughts instead of your keyboard (or ffxiapp)

I bet some kid dies within the first 2 months of this if they make an FFXI style MMO using it... people would resort to jacking up on stimulants to think claim fafnir faster lol

In before ghost in the shell

Also, in after ghost in the shell.

I always wanted to play FFXI in my sleep, this could be a realization of that dream.

The OCZ neural impulse actuator works pretty well...is $150...is out now, and can be used with anything.

I recommend everyone at least try it ;0

i recommend you send me 150$ then

either way, sounds trippy, but sounds fun.

[Kurokikaze]

Sounds like something fun to try while stoned.

No more looking at porn and playing FFXI. I wonder if the porn industry has any plans for this?

[Xno Kappa]

Dude, can anyone say a real life .hack?

Now gamers can be even more lazy.

Coming to FFXI soon.

It's going to be creepy if this requires 100% of your attention. Those occasional fun nights at the friend with a Wii's house will be replaced with everyone sitting on the couch silentely staring at the screen.

[Phla]

sounds like fun, i've always wanted to do something like a mind controlled game. hopefully it becomes open to everyone or becomes the norm within a few years

Based on reading a semi-long article describing this, I can safely say that whatever Neurosky and SE are planning, it will either involve physical input devices (normally called controllers) in addition to the new paradigm, or it will be an extremely basic novelty game. Given that it's SE we're talking about, I'm guessing the former.

If it does.... save us because i will say I will be hooked. I left FFXI after 3 years.... (been 2 year clean) this will just be the end of my life as I know it...

Very interesting. If they can eliminate the latency, this new technology can take gaming to a whole new level. I can't just begin to imagine how awesome this is for real-time strategy games like Starcraft and etc.
