If I wanted to get into fights with armed guys who were itching for violence and could seriously hurt or kill me I could just drive over to Camden NJ, pin a $100 bill to my shirt and find plenty ready to take the challenge.

I like it better when it's a game and I don't actually get hurt or die. But that's just me.

The Bee should sue Palmer Luckey for obvious copyright infringement.

Of course, the opposite perspective is that if you kill someone in the game, you actually kill the player.

Yeah, what a sick bastard this guy is.

Unfortunately for this inventor, there aren’t that many James Bond Villains around.

If this is true, he’s a psychopath.

Other psychopaths could trick people into using the headset.

Modern virtual reality pioneer Palmer Luckey claims he created a VR headset that would instantly destroy the user’s brain with explosive charge modules if the player’s character dies in the game.

Sounds like something you'd see in a James Bond film.

"... the final triggering should really be tied to a high-intelligence agent that can readily determine if conditions for termination are actually correct.”

If you put that thing on, you certainly not a "high-intelligence agent" and failed that test.
