As many of you may be wondering about the strange title of the game, Irritating Stick is a PlayStation carnival game, where you slap down a buck and try to maneuver a metal rod through a metal maze without touching the sides. More accurately, though, Irritating Stick is the US localized version of a Japanese PlayStation game based on Dengeki Iraira Bou (Irritating Electric Stick, for those that need the direct translation) -- a gameshow in Japan where you really do get electrocuted if you touch the sides. Control your stick through wildly changing mazes of metal being very careful not to touch the sides. But don't be too cautious there's a time limit. But the mazes don't stay traditional. You'll have to maneuver your rod through slot machines and metallic pinwheels.
