Boost Therapy

Virtual reality is supposed to be the next big tech frontier to explode.  A lot of funding is going toward development and figuring out real world applications that don't involve people walking into fountains at the mall or driving off of a marked road because of the nav guidance. 

We would like to get some of that funding because virtual-reality would complement our sim setup.  We would also like to open up revenue streams in the VR market, possibly with a virtual currency that can only be spent while in virtual reality. There are so many great options that it's hard to pick the best ones. We spent the better part of today brainstorming revenue streams involving virtual reality tech that might benefit AcMo.

Brainstorming sessions at AcMo are free flow and almost chaotic to the point that the sessions can sometimes become hazardous.  We encourage all participants to open their minds and let the thoughts escape. It can take a while to grab kernel(s) that can be exploited, but we work very hard to get there. No ideas are dismissed as stupid or irrelevant, at least not to the originator's face.  If the idea is truly dumb we have to take disciplinary action. True genius and the spark of inspiration often appear from unexpected sources and genius can be difficult to differentiate from lunacy.  Much of the session's data transfer is confidential, and of course proprietary, so I can't share that here.  Besides, what would you even do with it?  I can share some of the options we declined to pursue because they aren't of any additional use to us now.

We looked at strapping two sets of VR headsets onto one user to provide the world's first virtual-virtual reality experience, but that was ruled out due to weight and comfort issues. We wanted to attempt using them for enhanced night driving capabilities, but it was determined to be illegal and too dangerous. If we utilized it in that fashion, we would have too much of an advantage over the other motorists. A remote work tool was an option so that the user could work from home without getting out of bed.  That too was a no go because it would be too hard to differentiate between when the employee was sleeping or working.  We also considered using a VR headset in conjunction with our Ultimate Signal Protection Head Gear®.  Going deeper on that caused us to realize it would be impossible for the user to emerge intact from both devices without outside intervention and a defibrillator.   Someone suggested designing a headset that could be worn by pets. That person was let go minutes after making the suggestion. 

While an all-day brainstorming session may sound exciting, it's a lot of hard work. I noticed that a few of the desk engineers had gone into meltdown before we had concluded. I'm sure they'll be okay in a few hours.  The good news is that our brainstorming session was successful, and we think we found a direction for our newest project.  Details will be revealed after we've been able to test our concept. 

The cerebral nature of our innovative work takes a toll. Today called for something special to rejuvenate the creative reservoir. I decided to go extreme and activated boost therapy.

It only takes a few minutes of intense boost therapy before it starts to produce positive effects. The problem with boost therapy though is that once you start, you only want, no, NEED more. 

"Turn up the boost!"  Those words, when fulfilled, result in near-term engine repairs after it succumbs to the extra boost.  AcMo can help with that.  AcMo can help with blowing up your engine, not repairing it after the boost has had its way with it.  Have you ever seen a boost ravaged engine?  It is not pretty.  We want no part of that repair process.  Moderation in all things is a sound policy.  We are anything but sound here, so we have some alternative ideas.  More boost is best consumed with twins. Bugatti Veyron style quadruple turbos are excessive and unnecessary unless you are at the top of the hedonist pile.  Then the Veyron may seem adequate.

You'll think this is nonsense if you've never experienced a high boost full acceleration run and the feeling of massive torque shoving the car forward.  Boost turns heretics into believers real quick.  The world becomes a unified euphoric force when the boost comes out to play. Through each gear and each torque plateau the rush returns just as strong as the first time. It never ends until the clutch fails, the transmission implodes, the gas runs dry, a turbo or two fail, a driveshaft snaps, the engine comes apart, or a boost leak occurs. Otherwise it is the ultimate rush every time.  

All of the senses are assaulted in the best possible way when undergoing boost therapy.  The sound, the shove in the gut, the speed, it all equals bliss.  Pulling out of a corner at max boost is the best treat.  The fight between the limits of adhesion and the road surface mixed with boost onset almost always results in monumental battles.  As long as it goes according to plan, the driver wins every time.

More people may have the opportunity to experience the joys of boost since car manufacturers are applying turbochargers across their model lines in a desperate attempt to reduce fuel consumption figures.  It appears that the normally aspirated engine may soon be a thing of the past.  Life is going to become quite difficult if you aren't a fan of boost.  It's never too late to join the team.  We can help with that too.
