<em>The VR visor fits snugly over your head, blindfold and earmuffs blocking out outside light and sound completely. Not for the claustrophobic, but the latest gaming fashion is to dampen all external stimuli for an even more immersive gaming experience. Wireless electrodes read your brain waves and calibrate themselves, then begin feeding in sensory signals directly into your mind. You aren't just playing a game, you see, hear, feel, are in a whole new fantastic world of infinite possibilities.<br/><br/>Finding yourself standing on a grassy hill overlooking a sleepy, old-fashioned village, you feel the wind blowing across your face. The sun overhead warms your skin and illuminates the picturesque valley, the landscape looking like it was taken straight out of a painting.<br/><br/>Welcome to...<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">Event Horizon Online</span></em><br/><br/><hr/><br/>The technology that allowed direct interface with the human brain revolutionized Virtual Reality gaming. Gone was the awkward visor headset that simulated field of vision and sound but couldn't replicate other senses like touch and smell. Gone was the requirement for a controller to handle inputs. Now sensory information could be directly streamed to and from the player's mind, putting them in a high-fidelity, realistic world, not unlike a lucid dream, or an alternate dimension. MMORPGs like Event Horizon Online, had sprung up to take advantage of the latest VR technology. As had other services that offered more... adult entertainment, but EHO was not one of them. Nope, EHO was a mainstream game, where players could partake in the wholesome activity of breaking into private residences, slaughtering their inhabitants, and then stealing everything that wasn't nailed down - all without the threat of being corrupted beyond redemption by an exposed nipple. But it's fine because they're just monsters!<br/><br/>
