I laughed my ass off when you put the tomato on the sensor... and it actually worked.

I would totally watch that cherry tomato do a complete playthrough.

How would you have liked spending $150 and going home to.... this...?

That was the oddest Oddware you have ever done. Shows how much of a chump someone would have been for buying that. They are blaming you for the fact that their crap didn't work.

I can relate to the "ten year old within me that wants this to work" - too bad it really didn't. :( Though I am curious to if you were sweating involuntarily or someone came up from behind and scared the crap out of you while wearing this, I wonder how it would affect the games - it would definitely pick up on a real galvanic skin response sensor. I wonder if this was made today if it would work better or it would be just as crappy as this was. I mean, lie detectors are based on galvanic responses too and those can be really, really faulty sometimes. Maybe it is best this never comes to be and we keep playing games with our eyes open and actually pressing buttons. :)

That whas odd lol. Next SidWinder Winder joyStick? :D

I did get some interesting responses when laughing really hard, moving around, or even talking. But it was mainly just making the worm bounce around on-screen or whatever.

Just a hunch... but the metal contacts in that finger thing may actually be just that, metal contacts to form an electrical connection, which means any subtle electrical activity that comes into contact with the thing may have an effect, including your hand holding it while the tomato was in there. You should try the tomato thing again, but with the whole thing just dangling off of something non-conductive like a wooden chair. ...if you care to that is. Clearly even if the thing worked properly the software just didn't really cut it as anything worth playing. :P

LazyGameReviews

The metal contacts are only on the inside of the sensor, not the outside. My hand wasn't touching anything but the plastic while the tomato was on there, and the tomato was held in place by a velcro strap. I was only holding it up so it'd be in the video frame, as before I was trying it with it just sitting on the table and it got the same result!

Certainly was oddware alright. I was kind of hoping to see you trying Duck Nukem 3D, but I think Duke deserves a good mouse and keyboard instead, after seeing this. Hahaha

Oh god, what a horrible typo. lol! Duke Nukem 3D, not duck!

Word of caution.. don't hook anything to your skin that's directly connected with a power outlet.. well if you want to live

doubt there's any significant voltage going through there

That's a freaking sweet shirt too man.

That phone jack is odd. Warning: don't plug your phone into it! You'll go crazy listening to your own thoughts. Reminds me of E-meters used by Scientologists... it lead some to believe that plants have feelings because tomatoes "scream when sliced."

Oh what fun you were having with your "mind"? This device was a pure bunkum. What would the Duke say?

Anonymous

When I saw you with the tomato I totally thought.... that you were gonna f'ing challenge it! Seriously - who would win in any of these games, you; or the tomato? Word, much <3 for LGR

So that's how Twilight was written... :) (Sorry, I couldn't help it.)

What? No review of the Sexy MindDrive? Nice curtains. You need to go outside and get some sun.

Somewhere somebody hooked that thing up to a part of their body that wasn't a finger, toe or tongue.

Mind control/thought technology available in the form of a game for the low price of 149,99$ ? Seriously, I feel sorry for anyone who fell for this. It sounds so obviously false, it's shameful. The 90's was a strange decade...

I lost it when you gave it the middle finger. XD

You should have let your cat try this!

Hmm, reminds me of the OCZ Neural Impulse Actuator. Except way earlier. And not actually anything to do with the brain. Or logic. Careful with that sentient tomato though... It might control your mind.

I wonder if the Kinect 2 has any apps planned besides the heart rate/blood pressure monitor. I am curious to see what its capable of.

That is one clever tomato!

So..., did you put your weiner in it??

Lols! Best comment "Why should humans have all the fun? So i got this cherry tomato straight out of the refrigerator and stuck it in there". Really loving the humor in the series right now. Spot on :)
