I was watching the feed for a few minutes, and I couldn't figure out how this was beneficial. I mean, admittedly the feed was lagging for a few seconds every few seconds, but it looked to me as if the slice, (as it was being sliced off), was bunching up on the blade. On top of that, the operator removing the slice seemed to be just wiping it off of the blade with some wand-like instrument. How can this benefit science if the brain slices just get wadded up?

Something like this was inevitable, considering how those few people who loved the game also tended to want to know more about it. I guess this means I can stop writing my ICO fanfic, as, from the sounds of this article, my fanfic and this novel will be covering the same topics.
