19Skins72 Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 http://buzz.yahoo.com/buzzlog/92162?fp=1 This one's for all you Star Wars nerds. USA Today reported on an upcoming toy that "will let you test and hone your Jedi-like abilities." What in the name of Jabba the Hutt does that mean? Well, according to the article, the Force Trainer "comes with a headset that uses brain waves to allow players to manipulate a sphere within a clear 10-inch-tall training tower." The wireless headset will read the person's brain activity "and the circuitry translates it to physical action." It sounds like something from "The Onion," but we assure it's the real deal. This fall, you can pretend to be Yoda for about $100. --------------- Impressive tech, poor execution. This product should involve remotely grabbing beer out of one's refrigerator imho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tastes Like Chicken Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Excellent... with just a few months training, I will perfect the 'Force-Push' and knock these 2 out of their luxury box- to certain doom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistertim Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 And what about those who wish to learn in the ways of the Sith? Yeah! Maybe they'll come out with a "force choke doll" model or something, though force lightning would rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveMason Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 And what about those who wish to learn in the ways of the Sith? They could probably configure some kind of mind-controlled collar that you can use to force-choke people with. That sounds like the coolest S&M toy ever.

Larry Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Impressive tech, poor execution. This product should involve remotely grabbing beer out of one's refrigerator imho While back, somebody (forget what they were advertising) ran a commercial. Living room. Joe Sixpack and Darth Vader on the sofa. Joe raises one hand, and makes clutching motion in the direction of the coffee table. Vader looks at the guy, leans forward, picks up remote control off of coffee table, slaps it in Joe's hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 One of my co-workers used to subscribe to an email joke list which, every few days, would generate a Top 10 list and mail it out to people. When Star Wars 1 was announced, they did a "Top 10 moments in the life of the young Darth Vader". One of them was "You don't need my identification. I'm old enough to buy beer."
