The future of extreme e-sports: The gamepad that draws blood every time your character gets hithttp://www.extremetech.com/extreme/1951 ... r-gets-hitIn a rather chilling case of dystopian sci-fi made real, some Canadians have created a modified Xbox gamepad that draws blood from your arm every time your in-game character takes damage. According to the gamepad's creators, the idea is to hold "blood donation gaming events" - to bolster blood bank reserves (which are always in short supply), and also to make gamers "think about more important issues while still doing what they love." While this is ostensibly a rather noble effort, it's hard not to see this as the first step towards extreme gaming and e-sports where losers actually die in real life.
