In this increasingly competitive world we inhabit, cheating the system has become almost as American as mom and steroid-laced apple pie. Every aspect of our existence has been taken advantage of by people willing to do anything to get ahead. From sports to the stock market, our headlines are full of frauds and swindlers. So it makes perfect sense that our video games are similarly exploited by cheat codes and glitches.

Whereas, at one time, those two words shook gamers down to their core (and consequently forced them to shake their pockets to try to find more quarters), nowadays “Game Over” basically means “Let’s warp/spawn you back to five seconds ago.”

Video game composers have it rough. Not only do they attempt to create memorable, game-defining tunes that refuse to leave our heads, they also have to make sure that those songs still hold up after they’re repeated over and over. And to top it all off, they do so without the benefit of widespread recognition; it’s unlikely any game musician will ever have the household name power of someone like John Williams or Hans Zimmer. But when these dedicated men and women succeed, their creations permeate the fabric of popular culture so completely that the entire entertainment industry takes notice.

As a kid, did you dream of controlling things with your mind? I did. And if you have, then you should be excited about this: the Emotiv Epoc headset. It can connect with gaming consoles and allow you to play video games…with your mind. But hey, what can I say that the guys who created it can’t say better? So, without further ado, here is Emotiv’s Press Demo.

Ah, now if they’d just develop something so I can control others and take over the world. Kidding! Mostly…
