This is like the plot to any sci-fi horror or tragedy show ever. Wealthy CEO insists on disregarding the damage the medical implants do and pushes ahead to work on human trials.

What’s next? Zombie Super Soldiers?

Does anyone remember the OCZ NIA ("Neural Impulse Actuator")?

It was a gaming input device, a simple headband that measured brain activity externally. For beginners, if you thought really hard of "pitch black" or "bright white," it could measure that and you had your first two thought-controlled buttons. Advanced users could train themselves all the way to several buttons and analog inputs, i.e. control joystick input through their mind.

(just Google/DDG "OCZ NIA" to watch some old review and test videos)

just Google/DDG

We really need a generic verb for "searching the Internet" that's not a search engine brand-name.

This guy must have played the original Deus Ex.

That game has the best worldbuilding I’ve ever seen. Picking up the story by exploring is very well done. Haven’t gotten far through it, nor played any of the others in the series. But just really well done discoverable storytelling.

It's a shame that System Shock 3 got cancelled.

I never thought I'd see a Resonance Cascade, let alone create one.

If it's so great, you should test it on yourself, Phony Stark. The chimps were just fine, right?

...right?

Spike detection? Is that when a patient goes rogue and impales someone?
