a room full of like, 20 super computers is suppose to be equal to a brain. maybe they should just invent a way to plug a game straight into our heads

[Sean Mirrsen]

If we have that kinda technology, we won't use it for that. Instead we'll play games created entirely by our imagination. There are only two problems with imagination - you can't get a good grasp on the controls, and you can't get a picture to stay in your memory. If we can output subconscious visuals to a screen, and control subtle brain processes with a gamepad, gaming will largely move away from game design. Everyone will design such a game that fits his own standards. Multiplayer might be an issue though.

Well if you're going to go that route, then why bother with monitors and gamepads at all? Just figure out how to artificially induce lucid dreaming and bam, there you go.

Arizona Neuroscientists found ultrasound remote controls to be to humans what infared remote controls is to a TV. I'm waiting for Apple to buy this and make the iDream. Civilization will collapse as we know it because people are too busy forever screwing their imaginary boy/girl friends in their machine induced lucid dreams. I've never wanted to be a part of the destruction of civilization more.

What was that song? "It's the end of the world as we know it, but I feel fine!" Although "fine" would be understating it a bit.

It's already been done.  Honest, you should spend hours searching for it.

I actually like that song, but it's the principle of the thing.

[Sean Mirrsen]

Anyone know if Septerra Core is any good? I had heard of it prior, but only in passing, on my way to try Fallout.

[Mephisto]

From the little bit I played (read: five minutes), it was decent. It felt "slow" if I recall correctly.
