Even if the animation could harm you it would be just like in any other game... you would just restart the game. People need to not be so afraid of something that can't even do you any real harm.

Dr. Freeman?.. nice

"...But now, using virtual reality headsets, study participants are actually transported into a busy London underground tube carriage..."

I didn't think that virtual reality headsets could *actually* transport you to a subway.

Regardless of that, a subway car full of studiously neutral 'avatars' (which, despite it being 2008, probably look like Max Headroom) would be enough to wig anybody out. Brrrrrr.

Paranoid, Paranoid who said I was Paranoid ?...

I'm sorry, but how can anyone feel threatened by a computer animation, they must know there's no way it can do them any physical or even verbal harm, or rob them or anything like that at all.

It's not real!

Only a third? Perhaps the other two thirds haven't yet heard of Phorn?

They really are out there... watching.. reading.. silently gathering info about you.. laughing at you.. targetting you..

Stop looking at me.

I never used to be paranoid... until I realised that everyone was out to get me.
