I was over at the arcade and happenend across a truely amazing article. Its quite long but really well worth your time to read. I recommend everyone here reads it.
A brief synopsis on the article is that a an out of work economist starts researching the economies in his favorite past time, videogames and finds some very startling results. Something about this reminds me of .hack. There is a deeper message from everything reported here but the answer seems to eludes me. TAke a look for yourself heres the link. More then just a game? -------------------- "Brotherhood asked for no friendship, only loyalty. They stood back to back as the galaxy burned - always brothers, never friends; traitors together unto the last." --an Excerpt from a Night Lords Novel Void Stalkers Chapter X: Revenge |

A good read, indeed. It's almost kind of sad what people are willing to do to be uber. It also brings into question the value that people place on objects and that relates to many things in our society as a whole.
Anyway, it's fucked up in general and that is that. |
