The longest journey is a truly amazing game, though I do prefer dreamfall...
I also attempted to complete the first myst game, I think it may have been a bit much for my tiny 6 year mind to understand. I also remember it being really creepy, all the abandoned rooms :phear:
I trust the mods.
I think ChrisL had the wrong end of the stick when it came to the forum. Its not a resource, its a meeting place, and its one of my favourite places to come and eavesdrop;)
Hi. Sooo introduction eh?
Well its not like I'm active so I doubt that there are any people burning with curiosity.
Real Name: Tom Ball (I do sometimes answer to my forum name;))
I'm 18 years old and i live in the UK in Surrey. (stalkers form an orderly line:D)
School: my early school life...
You guys read Forever Peace?
There's a global war in which one side has remote control killing machines called "Soldierboys" operated from a distance and treated like a game.
Personally i loved VIII. The only thing i disliked about it was Ultimecia. I mean what the hell? you spend the whole game chasing some other sorceresses and then BAM! random new enemy.
VII was ok but i didn't find any of the characters convincing especially cloud, barret and aeris.
X was fun...
I do wonder what would happen if this were to be a success. If people are not upgrading their machines to play games then where is money going to come from to improve the tech?
Jordan your statement sounds the same to me as any catholic reciting the Nicene creed.
It is certainly not a view that can be backed by evidence or logic. The difference between tranhumanism and religion is minimal. Both offer a paradise at some point in the future and both offer horrific...
hmmm you are a worthy adversary...
However tom also flies into the air a second before the flames reach him. He hurls the oily metal shuriken style at saffy. Slicing her in three...
And indeed it would've hurt had tom not caught the shrapnel between his teeth... damn
thankfully the trail of petrol leads back to saffy and the roar of flames engulfs her wings, leaving only scorched bone and a few smouldering feathers...
Violence does not merely stem from territory and resources. For example the people of city "x" and the people from city "y". Pre-transcendence they were bitter enemies, not due to resources or land but due to culture, tradition or religion.
The people of those cities would still hate each other...
Would it really be that good to be able to eradicate parts of your psyche?
That raises whole new issues of morality and justice between one group of transcended and another...
But in the process of setting up the singularity there would probably be huge conflicts, possibly leading into an arms race of sorts, with competing factions all attempting to simultaneously transcend and prevent their enemies from doing so.
Im not trying to make you sound bad...
Its just that certain things will probably always be with us. Conflict is one of those things.
Any technological singularity will have to deal with this lack of a unanimous view, and that is why politics does have a function.
What about violent dissidents?
Those who believe trancendance is "Evil"? An irrational position to be sure but humanity has never let rationality get in the way of a good argument...
I dislike the phrase " the disruption that technology has created through globalisation"
Other than that the concept of a singularity is quite interesting. However i have an unpleasant suspicion that it would be driven by a military and as such not very pleasant for any of us
I've got morrowind GOTY and have yet to start the main quest...
There's so much to do! its amazing that I've sunk hundreds of hours into a game and not even started the main storyline. Im playing an rangeresque character with short blade, marksman and unarmoured and its great fun
