Well i was reading popular science and something caught my eye... it was a shooter arcade game where you actually feel the pain! when you get shot the vest you put on delivers jolts of electricity in an area.... I hear a lawsuit coming on :D
What do you guys think?

If it were a multiplayer environment it'd definitely force a higher level of strategy than "I'll run over these mines so that my flag carrier has a clear path" for instance :)

Kinda like playing paintball but indoors and without the mess. Falco, you should totally host a server and we'll play it as a forum. Haha.

I swear thy've had something like this before...I can't remember tho. I didn't shock you, but it vibrated, like a rumble pack.
I did find this link while surfing around:

I hope they bring that arcade into my area. I bet the owners will try to make you sign a contract saying their not held accountable for any injuries though.

Yeah, they've had one for awhile. I remember back in the day my friend had one for
N64. It was a gigantic rumble pack vest that plugged into the controller.

I bet that air compressed vest would feel like getting the wind knocked out of you. Only every second on a war game.
That would suck. "I almost get 'em" Then, "oof!". I personally like the idea, but it would get really annoying after a while being shocked and hit with all of that.

Omfg, what?! What kinda G-Force would that be? How are they testing it, monkeys? If you didn't burn to a crisp it'd certainly be HOT!
