The only problem I see is that you have to sit bare-assed on a metal chair in order to compelete the circuit.

Actually, this reminds me of something: in Tokyo's Akihabara Sega arcade, they had these wild realtime games that have large tables in front of a screen. The players use special collectable playing cards with some sort of embedded chip or magnetic ID to lay out and attack with their forces. You can watch them lay out their deck of cards on the table, then as the battle begins, they start grabbing them and rubbing them on the table in fast circular and linear motions. I can't imagine trying to learn how to play without speaking Japanese, but I assume it's still pretty complicated to learn in that environment even if you do speak the language. Anyone know the name of these games?
