Soldiers Get Virtual Reality Therapy for Burn Pain

[KesoDia]

the game might not be amazing, but id rather be playing videogames during treatment than not playing videogames during treatment

[GuilesTheme123]

"Snow worlds the opposite of fire :BBBB"

HELLO, IM MISTER DERPITY FLERPIN GERP, AND HERES YOUR AWARD MISTER DERPIN SHERP!

[lotusbubu]

VR for good use! great!

[kennysuavo]

thats epic!

[dandarubbabandman]

i bet ign would tear that game apart

[nadskofhqwak]

fuck that just give em morphine..

[angrygrunt]

that game looks so shitty

[temptstress666]

@McChang117 Get a life.

[scott71785]

I have always known that us gamers are genius'

[bvaia]

I think we found our secret weapon!

[daim911]

yeaah FUCK THOSE PENGUINS!

[PsychotronicWar]

Finally, the video game culture is recognized appropriately...

[cheesyarse]

frost bite victims get virtual fire juggling while listening to The Doors - Light My Fire.

i wonder what i get if i suffer from sexual deprivation??

[13Cadavre13]

@cheesyarse Or the opposite... Condom fest tycoon? XD

[buob1234567890]

@cheesyarse Justin Bieber. Pure rape.

[cheesyarse]

@buob1234567890 Two things that should never be on the same line, my name and the bieber.

[jackofblades94]

@cheesyarse is that even an ACTUAL disease?

they would probably just give you some porn though....

[FoamKittyGamer]

@jackofblades94 It could be a real disease, especially if you suffer from erectile dysfunction... who knows? Maybe virtual reality can help that, but that's a big if..

[cheesyarse]

@jackofblades94

A man masturbating in a hospital bed. He suffers from an illness where if he ever stops wanking he will die. That's the NHS.(Free health service)

In another hospital, a guy with the same illness is getting sucked off by a sexy nurse. He must be with BUPA.(private health care)

[jackofblades94]

@cheesyarse How can you die if you stop wanking? ಠ_ಠ

[cheesyarse]

@jackofblades94 clearly you missed being a teenager.

[jackofblades94]

@cheesyarse Thank god, i didn't wanted to have my face filled with acne, thank you.

[cheesyarse]

@jackofblades94 acne and a new pube every day, whats not to like?

[jackofblades94]

@cheesyarse Episode 3

[HackHunters]

what a great idea! don't underestimate music... it's the motor oil for all us humans

[NotRaPoSa0CiNzEnTa]

Poor Lieutenant.

[ImOfNope]

That's good. But what it's doing to his already traumatized mind overall? He's gonna have to go through PTSD for years. And you think the government is going to cover all of these guys who are damaged. Nope! The price paid for going to war.

[FALCO64125]

Why don't they ever plug these Virtual Reality goggles into something graphically better than an N64?

[MrJamesonStyles]

Game looks fun as hell. I want war burns!

[JBisEQ]

@MrJamesonStyles I cant stand folks like you, what an idiot!

[polly10022]

Why can't we just all get a long -.-

[chesterngiamzhenghao]

poor guy. I thought the game was gonna be MW2 or Black Ops lol

[psychonaut25]

0:48 go deeply into your cave......"slide".....

[chesterngiamzhenghao]

@psychonaut25 stupid shit

[ChrisR2131]

hope that guy is still doing somewhat good.

[Frojoemorrison]

Paul Simon!? NOOOOOOO!

[halofighterhq]

it would be more less pain if they just put him in a sleeping state or by anesthesia...

[mmedefarge]

@halofighterhq Rehab is daily, usually more than once a day, you can't just keep anesthetizing people. As long as this works for whomever it works for, than it's better than a lot of drugs that can become addictive.

[MrProgrampro]

Cool vid!

And I'd just like to say that I think lakernaion and hassmann are both morons, but for different reasons

[irulenano]

Hurling snowballs to the music of Paul Simon? That sounds hilarious and reminds me of acid.

[Cyb0rgasm]

Geez, if a shitty game worked that well why don't they try letting him play something that's actually fun? I have a good feeling that they would get much better results.

[erererer2]

@Cyb0rgasm gow in that xbox

[TheWiteLite]

lol i thought this was a joke

[thenotoriousadin]

rofl paul simon would make me that much worse

[BENSTER489]

i could have used that when i fractured my femur

[ddaynyc]

I think i'd rather be set on fire than listen to paul simon.

for fucks sake, give the poor bastards some ambient electronic or something.

Paul simon? good lord.

[Shun1Shun]

1:18 Sounds like they're saying "Brown doctors", haha

[BeanaBreakdown]

@lakernaion Pedophile? woow there's a creative one I've never heard before, please, back that up and then grow up.... And you're probably right, but at least they're not ignorant douche bags like youself.

[jerbear938]

Shit, does this mean that I set myself on fire to play that?! It looks awesome! Well then its off to home depot to get some lighter fluid!

[KrundGurs]

when u got a frostbite do you have to throw fireballs?

[Pandoraforlife]

wtf xD

[hassmann2000]

the real question is, how many innocent people has this guy killed....?

[lakernaion24]

@hassmann2000 nahh just muslims like you. Id pay to see a muslim get killed.

[BeanaBreakdown]

@lakernaion24 And I'd pay to see you get the hell educated, IF you even have a brain.

[lakernaion24]

@BeanaBreakdown Allah=pedophile. United Arab Emirates=has probably the most offensive people on earth. have a shitty day

[hassmann2000]

@lakernaion24 HEY BILLY! hows it going? what..no mates? Oh is that why you feel the need to satisfy your pathetic life by being a cowardly prick?

okay then.

enjoy your obviously rather depressing life.

[hassmann2000]

@lakernaion24 come and kill me than you cowardly bitch.

only a billy no mates would say such shit.

[lakernaion24]

@hassmann2000 haha only a muslim piece of shyt would call these soldiers who sacrifices their lives criminals. don't worry I won't come to get you cuz we've got so many of you guys here.

[hassmann2000]

@lakernaion24 Seriously though, finish high school.

[lakernaion24]

@hassmann2000 Well at least I actually went to high school and graduated unlike muslims! They rather blow themselves up cuz they live a shitty life! lololol continue worshiping muhammad the pedophile you bunch of warfreaks.

[hassmann2000]

@lakernaion24 no...no you didnt. your just some red neck, sister fucking, STD making, watching your mum fuck a black guy, gettin raped by his uncle, getting beat by his dad PUNK.

you clearly have no balls as all you can do is chat meaningless shit on youtube. your just proving how all islamophobes are completely retarded and out of touch with reality. Hope you enjoy the mosque at ground zero. lol

[lakernaion24]

@hassmann2000 Other than those you mentioned I also enjoy degrading muslim women at our school and harassing ignorant muslims lololol. And I could care less if they build 10 mosque at ground zero cuz I'm not from new york- where I live muslims know their place and if they dare cross the line they won't be seen again HA!

[hassmann2000]

@lakernaion24 thanks for solidifying my point.

[lakernaion24]

@hassmann2000 It's my pleasure my terrorist friend.

[PSNPouched]

He's really just in it to kill the penguins for revenge.

[cyberspy79]

can i get this game on ps3?

[jontop5]

give me Zelda and you could shoot me without me feeling it... If it was Mario, I think you could amputate without painkillers or pain...

[BeakyRed]

im not kidding when i say this, i htought it said bum pain

[Bioreek]

give them MARIJUANA

[weponized]

or the us could just pull out of iraq and people wont have to play that, they will not get burned and can play in real snow.

obviously not all burn victims are from war but you know this guy wouldnt have gotten burnt at least

[plutiotboy]

cool

[PandaKunX]

so... the soldier is still practicing shooting while in recover xD

They would better do a modded version of better games, like:

Gear of snow or Call of santa

[stefisking]

Graphics r shit

Quake :p

Feel soz for the soldiers tho...

[gradyiscool]

I think they are just now realising what gamers have been saying for years about games. But they are misinterupting the results. They think that the "cold" theme of the game is making the difference probably. That seriously could of been Unreal Tournament and I bet you they would of shown the same results, possibly better ones. :P

[omnicide12]

@gradyiscool True that man, i guarentee if they put like star wars in or something that they wouldnt be thinking of anything else.

[Roboyoyo]

@gradyiscool NO SHUT UP! THEY'RE SCIENTISTS! THEY KNOW WHAT WORKS! YOU DONT! SO STOP ASSUMING THINGS!

[amIn00b]

there are more good games.

[boorens18]

that....is freaking incredible.

[TheHigherVoltage]

You'd think he'd thank a "guardian angel" if he wasn't burnt in the first place...

That BS outta the way...damn good idea to keep pain out of the mind when doctors/therapists are messing with the wounds.

[Bluesage2009]

its called, here lets try to dazzle you with a little bit of tech.....

cause ur speeecial.......

Giving the poor bugger a stuffed fucking penguid and a jar of jellybeans achieves the same result.

[akaboy4life]

Instead saying that soldiers must retreat out afghanistan so that it wont happen again he says he likes snow world. Game addiction for life!!

[TheZerochill]

I think that gaming works well in preventing pain. Whenever I am in some kind of pain and play video games, I do not feel it as much. As researchers delve deeper into the art of video gaming, more miracles will come out of video gaming. If video gaming reduces pain, then just imagine how it can help prevent problems that we commonly face such as high blood pressure, stroke and heart attack.

[cutloose]

good point but u sound like an addict to me

[dryraininbetween]

Speaking as a fellow skeptic, I would recommend that you find a more suitable outlet for your evangelical strain of atheism rather than insulting the intelligence of a man who has obviously been through quite a traumatic experience.

It is a fundamental human right to have opinions, and although I agree that the man's survival was due to chance, he has a right to attribute his survival to whatever he desires.

[pampamproductions]

dude seriously

[lunei66]

Yes, what is it my good sir?

[evilblades]

i see, trying to give them post treumatic stress fits whenever they go to the zoo.... brilliant :P

[dapenguin64]

When it showed the penguins i was like wtf random.

[PuffOReilly]

SO YOU WANT THEM TO STOP FEELING BURNS BY KILLING PENGUINS EH?..... lol jk :-)

[ypsidixit]

What an unexpected and brilliant idea. I imagine, aside from the distraction factor, that there's a subliminal psychological "cooling" effect just from "being" in a snowy world. Perhaps they could try this kind of therapy on other medical conditions.

[KindaMost]

I bet if you give him a good game, with fire or not, it should be the same, he's just getting distract in the game. So if the game is fun, his brain gonna be concentrate into the game. And the sound have the ability "overload" his brain, so the person feel less his pain of burn. This is the same when you cut yourself and you dont know you feel nothing, but when you see it, it hurt.

[Sl1TH3r0]

asdf

[Marrilliams]

Wow thats great! Well I wish the best to all burn victims and hope one day that itll be easy to heal people of burned flesh!

[crazymarine1991]

the game looks cool but the music sucks ass thay need to fix the music

[spaceMeBubbleUp]

that's a hell of a good idea, respect those who fight for you

[Virus278]

It's been proven that the music of Paul Simon is more theraputic of the music of anyone else.

[Virus278]

so is he actually controlling anything or is it just like a movie?

[TheRealXesc]

Virus278, he's actually playing the game... You notice a little discrete mouse/controller by his right hand, in the bed. Obviously, it's made to work with small movements, but it's a 3D world (albeit simple) he moves around in.

The purpose is to distract him, and keep him occupied with something other than the wounds, nurses work, and pain.

It's very nice to see this :)

[Gold753]

Rehab Hero

[0goo]

if i were forced to play that and lestin to that music i would die before they started operating on me!

[Gamelvl84]

Yes, that is the very same reason the victims feel much less pain when playing that thing.

Because they are dead by then.

[SanuTin]

Doesn't it have some kind of negative effect since the brain needs to know that the body is damaged for it to heal?

[Jh5kRadio]

That would be up to the surgeons.

[Hmoob54321]

HE'S GONNA GET ADDICTED TO THE GAME!!! NOOOOOO!!!! lol

[cosmospacey]

Hunter Hoffman is  great.

[officialMC]

Poor guy

[WEETAYLORCEE]

greame occoner

[AngelicaValentine]

Now instead of shell shock from explosions he is going to flash back to snow men randomly jumping out at him singing Pual Simon songs

[fuunguus]

If the goal is to defeat post traumatic stress, bad memories or traumatic memories in general, give him therapeutic doses of mdma/Ecstasy.

If the goal is to draw his attention away from the pain, make the nurse dress up naked. Or... give him snow world...

If the goal is to releave him of pain, give him painkillers. But only when it is at its worst, it can't be administered all the time/too often. Too many heroin addicts have been addicted because their doctors gave them too much at hospitals.

[toroga1]

@fuunguus

"make the nurse dress up naked"

Wouldn't she be UNdressing to get naked, instead of dressing up?

[viper8red]

hahah get him the hell-fire world. I want to show him real pain! Maybe he can hurl tomohawk missles at Bin-Laden.

[Authentic11Warhero]

poor pingiuns:P

[BROKESKATESHANE]

HAHAHAHAHA stop at 21:00secs

[arcticf0x8]

Throwing snowballs to Paul Simon music? Man I'd rather take painkillers.

[dfewaf]

yes... why don't we all "just him some painkiller pills". after all, over medicating the world cant have any consequences.

i think a quick reread of your post will give you great insight on why you aren't in charge of anything.

[sememek]

ok,maybe you are right.. Painkillers aren't the best solution but there must be a better way than SnowWorld..

[rayreturnz]

@dfewaf

who gives a shit, if he wants to take morphine, then so be it he is a burn victim

[coryu711]

@dfewaf sarcasm doesnt make you sound right or smart unless you're saying something valid. thank god people like you aren't doctors because theres absolutely nothing wrong with distributing pain pills to people in severe pain. i'm guessing you have personal issues with drug addicts, because anyone in their right might would want a bit of morphine to sooth the horrible agony of your humvee getting blown to shit by an IED while you're in it. dick head.

[FootX360]

@coryu711 agreed.

[chesterngiamzhenghao]

@dfewaf you english sux man

[2pac4life400]

god bless this dude

[fuunguus]

Yes. Bless the guys that invade other countries, and start wars.

[2pac4life400]

yup

[utaelilya]

do he control it with hes eyes or ?

[OwnageEngine]

1:30 you can see him controlling it with a mouse.

[kyle7566]

he has a mouse in his right hand.

[AnonNov]

I found it sweet. I think it was a long time he just could childish fun without having to take orders.

[ienjoypaninis]

no, reptiles ruling the world and internet 2 sound cool

[ienjoypaninis]

I CAN CALL YOU BETTY AND BETTY YOU CAN CALL MEEEEEE ALLLLLLL.

i want a horrible burn so i can listen to paul simon all day

[greengrendel]

being distracted makes it hurt less... duh?

I figured this out when i was five. i distinctly remember telling my mum that if I was in front of the tv when she took out a bee's sting it would hurt a lot less.

these "science" things are really on the other side of obvious....

[brandonplaysguitar16]

These "science things" are being applied into real world scenarios. That's what the story is about. Dumbass.

[rooroo1988]

thats awesome

[gvnai5]

i think wat ur saying is fucking horrible who wants a Frodo as there leader id prefer snoopy who doesn't want snoopy to start his one religion ?

[gvnai5]

i think he would have preferred a hand job and not a game

[mormanwarrior]

lol

[Necromatory]

that sucks that he got burnt, but why would they call him a war hero? LOL

[Intangible88]

I am totally against "war" and have been on many anti war marches but I would not be so crass as to make a comment to suggest this man is not a "hero" - he was pulled into something terrible by I believe people who make money out of it all - but he is still a "hero" for what he has been through - please don't insult him and people like him.

[GamingMusicVideos1]

i agree with you. but not about the war. I think the war is vital and i support it but lets not get into a debate. The point is even if you do not support the reasons for the war you should ALWAYS support the men fighting in it

[lesrambles1]

@GamingMusicVideos1

"You should always support the men fighting in it"? My ass.

The soldiers kill innocent people ( civilians)

[GamingMusicVideos1]

@lesrambles1 your a fucking idiot if you think you can speak for all 500,000 soldiers. You dont have the balls to fight a war and guess what? Every single war in the history of mankind has had civilians getting killed. in WW2 40 million+ civilians were killed. The soldiers dont go around killing innocent civilians. That would accomplish nothing. The people that kill innocent civilians are the same ones that blow up bombs around kids when american troops are handing out candy to them

[MrBucket0fries]

@lesrambles1 most soldiers dont intentionally kill civilians. sometimes accidents happen. black water is the one to blame for praying and spraying. same with the early OIF marines. but soldiers (army) are trained differently. to be more careful their targets.

[totaLybeetLeJuice]

"he used to think he was a man and killed real people, no he can't move and hes throwing snowballs at animals in a 3d realm"

[DaveyDooM92]

What does that have to do with anything? xD

[TheReaperCooL]

You could be the next Winnedon dude who will kill guys and girls, yeah...

There's a video on the right, titled Virtual Iraq therapy, that's for you!

[unfortunesoull]

virtual reality would be very useful for everyone who dont like to leave thier houses, i cant wait to see what its like 10 years from now.

you can either choose to live reality or sit back at home and live in your own reality!

[Sabored]

Throwing snow balls to the sound of paul simon? Why paul simon?

[Funkyfists1]

lol who knows...

[Sindre1]

Maybe he likes it :\

[kingsman565]

"Throwing snow balls to the sound of paul simon? Why paul simon?"

Because Paul Simon is awsome & call me al is one of the most fun songs ever made. :P

[TheReaperCooL]

Listen you gaytard! I don't care what kind of stuff you had, I expressed my opinion without insulting everyone and then you came here insulting me. You need to grow up, because you a mindeless faggott. You're brain is damaged from the stuff you have seen, so there's no cure for idiocy my friend.

Ohhh and don't make another comment on this because you're not talking to your mom ..!.. o_O ..!..

[TheReaperCooL]

I can't believe a 21 year old says this. The example you made is stupid, only a fucking retard would come up with that... Shame on you!

[keithgarry]

No kidding. Ha ha.

[robertghouston]

"If war isnt awesome, why the fuck do we make games of it?" - Because it's human nature to want to kill people. Such games just provide a convenient way to do so, without putting yourself in harms way.

[Intangible88]

Because it's human nature to want to kill people.???? Is it really? It's certainly not part of my "nature"

[ishmale420]

its not part of your nature because you've been instatutionalized to socitey's standers( look at canabilistec tribes no media or other world infuance)

[vash465]

wat are you retarded.. your body adjusts to your senses. Its proven if you have the constant picture of fire in your face your gonna feel hot. Now,yes fire copy was wrong when the said sweating makes your tempurature go up but u were wrong in saying the sense of sight has no control over how we feel

[Rev4587]

wow because u dont actually seel pain in games and the blood and guts everywhere is REAL retard

[firecopy]

Its meant to cure the mind because we usually use the sense of sight. If we add a zombie shooting game with a fire pit your more likely to sweat and your body temperature might go higher. Which we don't want to happen

[nookey222]

gief that technoligy-.- to us, and use it to create an mmorpg with it xd if you can do that cost miljons but you will be richer then bil gates if its succesful

[Charles2337]

Yeah it's pretty bland. xD

[TheReaperCooL]

He's got burned, so if he plays a game where there is snow his mind makes him think that he is really in a snowy place, and it makes him feel good, as he will forget about his burned injuries.

[swordpatriot]

Giving the guy a choice would be nice, and indeed chances are they would choose one of those games that I admit is probably much better that the snowball throwing game. HOWEVER lets say that person was seriously injured in a battle, do you think he/she wants to relive anything remotely close to those memories in a Call of Duty, Halo, or Medal of Honor game?

[Charles2337]

... nice comeback I have to admit. I lol'd. xD

[GamingMusicVideos1]

@charles2337

you fucking son of a bitch you would never have the guts to go to afghanistan and do the things that this gut did, U think u are so powerful sitting alone being a little fucking internet warrior well let me tell you something. that man is part of the reason why you can even post comments like that. The very fact that you own a computer and you can say what you want is because of what men like him have done. So shut the fuck up

[Charles2337]

Dude, I was not talking about the soldier.

I was talking to this idiot that responded to me. She was in the war too and was makin fun of the guy in the video. That's why I snapped.

Man, if you knew me. I'm a supporter of our troops too.

[GamingMusicVideos1]

oh alright man im sorry i sort of flipped out just put the

@(persons name) when u do that lol

[Charles2337]

Lol it's alright and yeah I'll do that next time haha =P

[Charles2337]

Did you not listen to what the scientists were saying. They made a snow setting on purpose to trick the brain into thinking you are in a cold environment thus numbing the constant pain.

Exactly you didn't do shit. You don't know what its like to be fucking burned alive.

[almostnormal22]

poor guy..damn

[justin900]

hahahahah

snow world is the opposite of...of fire!!"

he got run out of reasons!!mwahahahahaha
