Cool idea. I hope that guy gets an upgrade soon. It's still kind of a dumb system. by dumb i mean rudimentary, not unintelligent. It's not really
his mind that controls the new arms. That'd be like saying that you
drive your car with your mind. It'd be nice if all he had to do was wear
the arms and have a little hat or an implant that lets him control the arms
without the extra nerves-to-pecs-manboob-flexing step.

That guy needs a helpermonkey!
