- Taikun, on 06/06/2008, -0/+29Unfortunately his rehab session was interrupted when it was attacked by a group of flying penises.
- JazzFlight, on 06/06/2008, -2/+13And based on what usually goes on in Second Life, I bet he was also able to virtually use another appendage that hadn't gotten use in a while...
- FLMarijuana, on 06/06/2008, -0/+9Don't tell Jack Thompson about this, the guy might get sued for walking again
- inactive, on 06/06/2008, -0/+7Damn, did it have to be Second Life of all things?
- plizard, on 06/06/2008, -0/+6second life doesn't count
- deviouskoopa, on 06/06/2008, -0/+6I wonder how long before he's just another WoW addict...
- zerhynn, on 06/06/2008, -0/+5And moments later he was in a tragic car accident in Second Life, forced into a wheel chair and lived out the rest of his virtual days in agony until he starved himself to death. Thus is how the story ends with the new Wheel of Fate expansion to Second Life. Now Second Life is even more like real life in the sense that the same terrible ***** happens to you, but this time the graphics are much worse and there are many more child molesters involved.
- stanleyford, on 06/06/2008, -0/+5"And moments later he was in a tragic car accident in Second Life" -- It's cool, though. His avatar just opened a new Second Life account.
- Cyber_Akuma, on 06/06/2008, -0/+4No, thats just a clipping issue.
- justice7, on 06/06/2008, -0/+4Does anyone actually play Second Life? (or use, or whatever you want to call it)
More like a 3D chatroom for the uninformed - zenoz, on 06/06/2008, -0/+3Move the island?
- Cyber_Akuma, on 06/06/2008, -0/+2And after he runs into the furry crowd in Second Life his avatar will be walking funny...
- Blandyman, on 06/06/2008, -0/+2My uncle's quadraplegic. He's been wanting to kill himself for like 20 years.
But he can't. So... - ep53, on 06/06/2008, -0/+2Wait until he finds the about the XXX sections of SL, He will be ***** brix.
- AlienAbductee, on 06/06/2008, -1/+3Game Helps Diggers Experience Sex
- diggit08, on 06/06/2008, -0/+2Grandpa from Southpark?
- alphonse221, on 06/06/2008, -0/+1zomgwtfbbq?
- DavidGX, on 06/07/2008, -0/+1Ahh.. so he didn't ACTUALLY walk.. he just moved a character around in second life. Lame. Buried.
- crazyjake, on 06/06/2008, -1/+2you mean have sex, don't you...
/obvious - Dustmuffins, on 06/06/2008, -0/+1I have another heart warming story.
I haven't committed a murder in almost 3 whole weeks, and CoD4 helped me kill again!
Where's my heart-warming article? - Terr01, on 06/06/2008, -0/+1You're thinking paraplegic.
- bagboyrebel, on 06/06/2008, -0/+1The article is wrong, this isn't the first time this has been done. Well, maybe the first time with Second Life, but is that really an acomplishment?
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/3485918.stm - Merendino, on 06/06/2008, -0/+1That article did not deliver...
- Blandyman, on 06/10/2008, -0/+1Quadraplegic means paralyzed from the neck down. No movement except for his head... think, Stephen Hawking, if his head would actually pivot.
- employeeno5, on 06/06/2008, -0/+1"Game helps paralyzed man pretend to walk again"
That's a nice article and all, and good for that guy, but the title is really really inaccurate and intentionally misleading.
The worst part is that there are similar technologies working on things like prosthetics that can be controlled by the mind and even give sensory feedback to person wearing it, not to mention implants for the blind and deaf. Those aren't mentioned though.
Instead we get a paragraph about how an active fantasy life can help distract someone from depressing real life inadequacies. No *****. - qwertycopter, on 06/06/2008, -1/+2Title really, REALLY ***** misleading.
- madk, on 06/06/2008, -2/+2No one really plays Second Life, buried
- MetalLizard, on 06/06/2008, -1/+1What a short, pitiful article for such an amazing accomplishment...
- inactive, on 07/13/2008, -0/+0It's a miracle !
- Ascosis, on 06/06/2008, -0/+0damn me too.
- boardthis, on 06/06/2008, -0/+0the moment we have mind-reading technology en masse, the world as we know it will come to a screeching halt...
porn porn porn porn porn porn porn porn porn porn porn porn porn porn - zerhynn, on 06/06/2008, -1/+1God that game sucks.
- chaosblade77, on 06/06/2008, -0/+0Original Johnny Quest was a lot better than the "New Adventures" thing in the 90s. Good reference though, I didn't even think about that.
- MrErr, on 06/06/2008, -2/+1Amazing! Something good coming out off the gaming industry.
- diggit08, on 06/06/2008, -2/+1Amazing... Creating text messages with the brain as well. Whilst it may not sound like much to us, but for a person that has not walked or felt what it was like to walk in 30 years, this could help reduce the suicidal tendencies that one would feel.
On a lighter note, anyone else think of Johnny Quest? - idoliside, on 06/06/2008, -2/+1Nice use of incorperating gaming and social networks into a form of therapy.
- kmartshopper, on 06/06/2008, -2/+1Does it bring Christopher Reeves back from the dead too?
- Akraz, on 06/06/2008, -3/+1omfg.
- inactive, on 06/06/2008, -3/+1Very funny.
- pablo0713, on 06/06/2008, -4/+2Wow dude. You are so original. Can I worship at your feet, oh comedy genius?
/sarcasm - dojonz, on 06/06/2008, -8/+4I believe I can fly?
- inactive, on 06/06/2008, -8/+0He's still a cripple.
