Taking a 9-Volt to the Brain Increases Videogame Skill

[Canadamus Prime]

Oh great, you just know some idiot is going to actually try this.

We know stress can make people work harder at work.

Is this actually improving brain function, or is it just creating a stress factor to make them work harder?

Here's a fun way;

Connect your xbox360 controller via the usb cable then remove the battery cover leaving the contacts exposed. put a finger on the contacts and watch as your score goes higher and higher.

Its an FCC approved device, so have at it.

Safety note: Electricity is God's way of saying "I can hurt you whenever it damn well pleases me."

(Only use this method if your brain cells number in the single digits)

Spoiler: Upon seeing the title to this article guess who I thought off

But will this make you the strongest video gamer?

"If a 9-volt can improve my skill, clearly a bigger battery means more skill"

Undeniable logic, good sir. I shall get the car battery.

"Mom where are the batteries?"
"They are in the first drawer dear, why you want them?"
"I'm going to play some games mom"
"Ok dear" -some time later- "Jimmy why you needed those batteries? Jimmy what's that burnt smell coming from your room, OH GOD JIMMY!!!!..." I will let the rest to your imagination ;P

Lol, clever statement my good sir.

One just flew over the cuckoo's nest for this one. No thanks. I like my brain the way that it is. Besides, you know very well what something like this means. It's not permanent, so the really hardcore people will get addicted to performance-increase in their games. And then, it'll come to a point when some idiot decides to get a 'steady flow' going and blows a fuse while frying his brain. Pass and pass.

Well it is settled, I will convert my dead-man-switch anti-class sleeping watch into a thinking watch.

Bunch of worthless wireheads.

(Obscure?)

 

[Logic 0]

Someone should prepare the seal for bad idea's now because I just know someone's going to get hurt becasue of this.

DARPA Chief says, use more 9-Volt!

YOU KNEW?!

But seriously, this won't turn out too well.

 

[The .50 Caliber Cow]

Yeah, no. I'd rather just rock it naturally.

 

[Andronicus]

Great Scott!

We must all expose our bodies to copious amounts of electricity for prolonged periods of time immediately! FOR SCIENCE!

And epic high scores. But MOSTLY FOR SCIENCE!!

So were one step closer to building a thinking cap...
