pong + real pain = painstation. i thought it was a joke until i looked at the gallery. you can get the idea pretty much even if you're a dumb mono-lingual fool like me... or you can see the wired article; where the painstation's designers discuss their motivations - challenging the standards, making people sit up and take notice and really think about what a game should be. in that light, it starts making sense. plus, i know that two guys really will go through that sort of pain to win in front of a crowd... or even just in front of each other. machismo is a bizarre thing.
