Force Electric Feedback – Getting shocked while playing games, the next big thing?

Are electric zaps the new form of mobile force feedback gaming? The system was designed to combat the problem of not being able to simulate feedback via a bigger control unit such as a joystick or steering wheel. Instead, it delivers medically compliant electric shocks to actuate the muscles to replicate the feeling you’d get when holding a controller that has force feedback.

That's the dumbest thing I've heard today, and I just heard about a controller in a teddy bear butt! So it's saying a lot.

Sometimes I think the industry wants to fail.

I think it could be good in a party setting. Fight your friends and make winning all that more fun (and losing that more scary).

Just has to be marketed correctly.

I like shoving the bare wires from the a/c adaptor up my ass while I'm playing games. Gives me a nice tingle and really helps me connect with the game I'm playing.
