Well clinical hypnosis is actually accepted by the medical community now isn't it? Stage stuff is beyond crap though.

Anyway, yes, cooking masters was probably around 02.

Incidentally I know where you're going here Cranker and your opinion seems to be due to a misunderstanding of what hypnosis is.

It's merely suggestion - it reinforces desired behaviour. It isn't brainwwashing at all - even a hypnotist will tell you that's impossible without using drugs and torture as well.

The psychology behind "suggestion" fits in with hypnosis too. The parts that are "crap" are all things that are misconceptions anyway (that you're in a coma-like trance etc). It's just a more direct way of doing what Marketers do more subtly.

What's this thread about again?

whs. Cooking Masters being a word play on a certain game that existed until about 2004...

The FM patch which was released with one of the stats changed to "Washing Up".

Oh wait, that wasn't a wind-up

No that was what my understanding was. That it reinforces desired behaviour. That's why I assumed you could have given up anyway. Which is why people who don't want to give up would also fail anyway. Which is why I think it's rubbish.
