That's basically what the "what's on your mind" has always been.

I can't keep a tally on the number of tweets I tried to make which were just a few characters over the allowed limit, which happened more often than you'd might think. For the sake of my sanity(and that of others) I quit Twitter and chose to never, ever come back.

i'm not sure why this is the thought i had as soon as i woke up today but since i've been talking about the FUTURE OF GAMES lately

what happens if games do get to the point where they're entirely realistic? like, you can complete immerse yourself in a VR game and everything looks, sounds, feels (tastes??? smells?????) real? do you really think you could play a war game or some game where you slice people's throats when your brain is being tricked to think it's a real experience? i mean in the back of your head you know it's just a game but fuck i can't play heavy rain without doing the right thing i don't think i could play a LOT of games if it was that level of realism.

Now that brum have beaten them pretty much anyone can beat chelsea. Beating chelsea is now equivalent to taking candy from a baby with no arms.

The question for me at that point becomes "Where do we go from there?"

Actually, one of the reasons I think video games aren't really evolving is that a lot of game mechanics have been sort of cemented as standard, and changing them usually only pisses players off. This isn't an entirely bad thing. It means we've figured out some things about game design that should stay consistent. Game mechanics really are a science anyway, not an art, there should be some consistency.

That and of course no one wanting to take risks (the companies making the games nor the people buying them). but that reason has always been obvious.

That's the shortest, most coherent post I've ever seen from you, Ragnar! BTW I have an old program called "Dangerous Creatures" about all sorts of wild animals. Cool stuff, though I don't have it installed right now.

Everyone has the right to be himself; wise men know how to,when, and whether to navigate the boundary between their rights and those of others when they collide.

yeah so the VHS tape thing definitely does work but you have to expose it to a powerful magnet (like speaker magnet) to degauss it or whatever first

As a person who gets randomly selected for screening every time I leave on a flight.... I can safely say that it actually isn't as bad as people say or the pundits make it seem.
