One Step Closer to Controlling the World

It’s official: gamers are one step closer to really being able to (kind of) play God. This gamer is all tingly from the possibilities. No, it’s not a new, let’s-decide-who-lives-or-dies video game. It’s the next step in playing video games. Emotive Systems is coming out with a new headset system that’s designed to pick up your brain’s electrical activity. It can also pick up the movements of your facial muscles, as well as those in other spots. You can literally think about killing off a villain, and boom. It’s done. These will be out for Christmas, at $299 a headset.
