PS2 Much Information, Lady

November 5, 2002

So there’s this videogame on the Playstation2 called Rez, and it’s basically a shooter structured around Kandinsky’s theories on synaesthesia, the crossing of the senses. The idea behind the game is that every action you do (moving your character, firing at stuff) will have a visual AND aural representation… your movements will blend itself into the music and the wild color backgrounds.

I played the game once and honestly it kind of made me like I was living through the end of 2001, and I wasn’t too into it.

Anyway, in Japan, they sell this game with an extra attachment: The Trance Vibrator. Like the rumble packs, the attachment shakes and shimmies in accordance to your game actions.

Sounds dirty, right? I know what you’re thinking. I mean no one would really… you know, use this video game thing to do … you know. I mean, people would, but not with a video game… right?

WRONG. PEOPLE ARE HORNY, OF COURSE THEY WOULD.
