Ah..lol:D

A step above those "shock-tastic" games you can get from argos...this one now burns you?

I would have thought this would have acted like aversion therapy for most people...but reading the guesbook - people are loving it. Masochists?

Masochists no - fun seekers yes...

Reading up on it you can amend the pain "volume" as you like. If this was in a pub I am sure it would be used non-stop....think it;s more for bragging rights than anything else...saying that if they hooked it up to other arcade games it'd probably lose its basic appeal...

I can see where it would be kinda fun...:D...especially if the other player doesn't know about it.

I don't think id ever go as far as burning myself for a game.

Not yet anyway... I'd stick to the non scarring shock-tastic games.:D

Well if you lose often you'll have to like pain!

Did you know that stimuli for pain and stimuli for pleasure are received/transfered the same way in the body, its just the different combinations of neurotransmitters released allow the body to decipher whether that stimuli is good or bad?

Masochists either mix up deciphering or have just taught their brain to like/ignore pain.

That's my explanation of how you could find this game fun (at least from wanting the pain like mikeuk). Along with the hilarious reaction of your friends cursing when they lose and get burnt.

I don't like pain in general, I'm self-harm inflicting or anything. But in a funny setting I don't mind pain, and I could imagine the game being really funny to play.

Yeah I guess I can see your point of view now...it'd definitely be funnier that's for sure, although it might go to far in some instances:cool:

Probably involving beer, a very late night and some cash..

Would so be up for some fight club action - started the same kind of thing after the film "inspired" us - group of 14 and it was an eye opener even the biggest guys fell hard....

but if you have a job think twice a black eye etc did not go down to well..

Well some of us might be getting summer jobs, but there shouldn't be too much brusing with boxing gloves on, and I can't imagine us fighting till someone gets K.O.ed either.

Haha, sounds cool - but probably wouldn't risk it though - especially since I'm already feeling worse for wear from work - I don't need extra beating (not that I would necessarily be beaten up:p - just being extra cautious)

Sounds like an awesome stress reliever though, beating up your mates (with their consent of course) :D

Man, this machine is crazy, but i guess there are a lot of people with very weird fetishes out there, that this will appeal to.
