A new piece of medical equipment is being tested right now called the Pedisedate. Basically, it is a headset that is placed on a child before they are admitted to surgery. The device connects to a Game Boy or portable CD player (yup, not a Nintendo DS or iPod — apparently the Pedisedate also transports you to 1996) and a snorkel-like piece swings forward and is placed over the child’s nose. As the kid plays videogames or listens to music, nitrous oxide, an anesthetic gas, is emitted through the snorkel and puts the child to sleep.

    I still wonder if AVGN will get his hands on this and actually get sedated like he always wanted to.

      i hope someone sends him one, like for his virtual boy review he did every game except one that was super rare and a fan sent in the game so he can officially be done with the virtual boy for good

        I also wonder if this item is even allowed to be owned by regular consumers that don’t work in hospitals. If that’s not the case, it would be significantly more difficult for someone to do that. But one can dream.
