There's a predecessor to this: The Painstation.

You can play the pain station at the video game museum in Berlin. It's a strange experience, but a lot of fun!

Surprised there is no 'don't burn yourself' disclaimer

No worries, I'm sure that come with the box.

I wonder what happens if you purposely lose a thousand times. :)

I was curious if there were a cap on the temperature but the code does not actually seem to be doing something to the temperature after losing. I did not dig into the code too much but I suspect that the thing is either not implemented or that it heats over time regardless of you losing.
