Sounds like a publicity stunt...

Describing the headset in his blog, Luckey details how he says he made a Sword Art Online-style “you die in the game, you die in real life” headset. In that series, players are trapped in a giant, immersive VR combat sim where if they die in the game, it will kill them for real given that they are laced into “NerveGear” tech, and they must figure out a way to win or escape. Luckey’s version of this concept is a VR headset that is laced with charges that will explode “destroying the brain of the user” if they trigger an “appropriate game over” screen.

Well at the very least it will weed out the amateurs.  I think that would be great for the next Saw movie.

You'd think the news would pick up on satire.  Just the design alone you know this is full of shit.  And his follow up response is telling based on the rate of someone being maimed or killed in motorsports versus the rate of someone dying in a combat video game.  Not a shot in hell you can realistically say they are comparable.  Clearly a satire piece that went over news reporter's heads.

I guess most so-called celebrities simply can not abide to look their age... but, these botched (or non-botched as the case may be) plastic surgeries make them look terrible!

The driver was first reported as driving erratically at 12:14 p.m., she said.

By 12:18 p.m., a trooper pulled the driver over. The driver told the trooper their windshield wipers weren’t working.

They removed the snow from their car and were given a $553 ticket accusing the driver of second-degree negligent driving. No one was injured.

Could have killed someone. Hope the fucker enjoys his large holiday ticket!

Don't insult Lucille like that. Lucille was made with barbed wire. Yahoo is just trying to throw out popular names in the headlines for the sake of grabbing views.
