So, I got my first taste of Mindball

Mindball is this game where you have a table, 1 ball, magnets inside the table, two headbands, and a few monitors.
Two people sit at seperate ends of the table and strap on the headbands. One of the players presses a button to start the game and then the stupidity starts.
Now, I'm sure you all have used those ball moving minds of yours to figure out where this is going. Person who is able to use the most brainpower wins right? Hell no!
The person who is able to zone out the best, cut their brain power off, and sit there like a vegetable...is the winner. Yeah, it's not hard. Just stare at something and close your brain down. Zone right the fuck out as if you were listening to a monotone teacher.
I'm almost ashamed to say I whipped a couple of people. Then I had to go against this guy that had to have an IQ of around 80-90 (Redneck Level). So...needless to say....I was not able to go as blank in my deepest state as he was when he was trying to take an exam.
If you all ever find some kind of demo booth set up, and know the guy you're facing isn't retarded...I'd give it a shot and see just how "mellow" you can be.
Oh, and I KNOW it seems like a load of bullshit, but after you do it a couple of times, you'll realize there is actual substance to it, even if it isn't perfect.
Any hint I can give you is to stare at the little diamond that the ball starts out on and just try to let everything get all blurry and shit. It works for me xD
Oh, yeah, and here's a link to the website in case you want some pics.
