So I had a thought the other day. The Nintendo Wii is really cool from what people tell me. As usual, Nintendo is trying to be the first gaming system to take the first step in virtual reality gaming. Now you can go bowling or hunting right from your living room. Who needs to go out when you've got great home theater systems and even tennis courts and fishing ponds right in your own house?
The gaming revolution will only get bigger and better. Soon, we'll have virtual reality glasses to put on and games will be in 3D. Then We'll be able to start smelling and feeling the worlds of our games. When you want to go bowling with friends in another state, you just hook up online in your virtual reality world.
Before you know it, the gaming world will overtake our own. You can live in a mansion in your virtual world. Why not? You can see it, feel it, smell it, design it, etc. And if that house is so much better than your own, why not live there, and add a feeding tube to your arm so you don't die from "playing" your game to long.
You see where this is going, don't you? Before long, we'll be living in the world of the Matrix--with all humans hooked up to virtual reality computers, living out our lives and forgetting about the real world behind us.
...and it's all because of the first pioneer steps of the Nintendo Wii.

Well, since I lost a good chunk of my childhood in the 8-bit matrix, it is only fitting that Nintendo administer the blue pill to me.
Nintendo has already released the VirtualBoy, a 3D helmet, it just didn't work to well :)
Just imagine mixing the Wii with the VirualBoy, and World of Warcraft. I'd rather kill orcs than sit around in a mansion :)
I am actually reading your blog and writing this comment from a Wii. I just finished readind the news on a Wii and now I`m cruising the net from it.us Of course I played a game or two first. This technology is pretty awesome.:
My thoughts exactly..(As I am being questioned by a bunch of Hugo Weavleys in suits) It is interesting how quickly we are letting technology take over certain aspects of our lives. I drive a computer, I am sitting at a computer and telling it what I want it to do, i wish my wife was a computer and my kids go to school to sit in front of computers while the teacher instructs them on how to use Elmo's World. I got pulled over by a Cop riding a computer with a computer processing radar gun that told him I was speeding. I communicate with the outside world on the computer and my favorite movie was mostly computer generated. Irony? Nah, computers are fun...
