I finally did it...

I broke down and got a Xbox 360. The graphics on video games these days are shockingly real. It's amazing how well you can tell a story and how real it sort of becomes versus just watching a movie or reading a book. There is definitely a sense of self while playing these games. I watched this developers trailer of a game called Fable2 coming out in the future and they talk about how they actually want to put the feelings of love into the game. How they created a dog in the game to respond and act to you much like a dog in real life would. As you play with it and feed it, the dog reacts to you more favorably.

It's very cool to see that various things in the game happen regardless of what you do and yet there is other things in the entire game that changes when you do things. I'm just glad my favorite comic of all time was made into a game and it's been pretty good so far =)

I really like watching the games. I used to watch Silent Hill (it's hard for me to play it...I get offended when I die, so I totally get what you mean by it gives you a sense of self) but I actually like to watch the Darkness more. It's like a movie to me. And some of it looks so real I just get drawn into it. It's fun! :)

Also, I bought you the Darkness book (the one with everything in one book) and me a Neil Gaiman book and shipped it to your address. I hope that is okay!
