Configure III

"Pulse of Pain is a rhythm game with never before seen gameplay and cutting edge technology! It has a large collection of original music as well as some of your old favourites."

A pair of headphones appeared on the girl and she started headbanging to music I couldn't hear.

"The best comparison for the controllers would be a drumming game. Only instead of a drum set you use your balls!"

A record scratch played and the girl, now without headphones again, held her hand in front of her mouth in a shocked expression.

"Hitting your balls will send pain signals through your brain that the electrodes will pick up and send to the game as input. Your left and your right testicle give you two notes to play, but this game uses six different notes. By hitting with soft, medium or hard power you can play all the notes. This is what makes Pulse of Pain the most extreme challenge of determination, concentration and most importantly rhythm!"

What in the fucking fuck???

A text appeared on screen scrolling upwards in very quick pace. The only part I managed to read before I lost track was "Pulse of Pain inc. is not responsible for damage to body or mind. We recommend freezing of sperm before play due to increased risk of infertility. Check with your doct..."

It went on for a long time...

As soon as it was past though, the explanation continued.

"Pulse of Pain "True" mode uses the electrodes secondary function, negative feedback. When you miss a note, the electrodes will send out a small shock or pulse. Missing consecutive notes will cause the power of the pulse to increase. Quick recovery is essential to success. "True" mode can be turned on in the settings. As long as it is not turned on, the electrodes only act as receivers."

Probably shouldn't mess with that.

"Now let's learn the notes!"
