[Musings of an Unknown Mind] PS2 - Ten Years On: The aiming system is still fiddly, the lack of checkpoints or quick mission retries is heinous, the stupid RPG stat-building is unnecessary, and the occasional bad bug can be irritating, but as a source of mindless violence there’s nothing better in the entirety of mankind’s creation. And it only gets better with a friend”¦

[Television Tropes & Idioms - Recent Changes] I Want My Jetpack - Television Tropes & Idioms: Conversely, in a later episode they were presented with an example of a modern effort at a jet pack and it was Paul who said they would obviously never catch on, because "imagine fifteen people coming out of a pub" late at night, strapping on their jet packs and flying home. Clearly a recipe for disaster.

[Comments for Modern Mechanix] What Will Life Be Like in the Year 2008?: Interesting, although many have predicted that we would become a more secular society, my observation is that the recrudescence of religious beliefs has increased full force in the past 10 years. Also, the article, though I confess I did not read it in its full length, appears to be an outgrowth of the Cold War era, which promised technological advances for society (and as we’ve seen without concomitant social development.) In lieu of flying cars, I would hope by the year 2030 that we’ve learned to accept individual/group differences more, put an end to foreign wars that buttress technological development, and by then hopefully we would witness a narrowing gap between the tailends of the economic distribution in terms of ‘quality of life.’

[Rudy's Blog] Rudy's Blog » Blog Archive » Fundamental Limits to Virtual Reality: Sci-Fi writers wax notions and hypothesis the way scientist did about the big-bang theory, if you read the Tao alot of what he wrote (I know Tao isn’t his real name but it escapes me) and see the way the world is today plus I think humans will be extinct before we can master the perception of VR and nature will resume like it did when the meteor hit earth supposedly or whatever wiped out the dinosaurs, than the ice age, reading Ishamel confirmed this notion, human nature and our unwavering ego is like a rabid vaccum willing to consume everything, Bradbury showed this and so did Dick, it’s the harrowing truth one in which we refuse to see the mirror scares us so and for good reasons to, I may be wrong but history hasn’t been very good to us for every progress we take major steps back that undermines the advancements we once had. Life is bleak in social aspects but when we turn to nature it’s alright and since VR is a byproduct of society it’ll never stand or be made or exsist because we are corrupt and VR will be contaminated by our egos and thusly it’ll fail, fail miserably and never be VR.
