Start practicing on your concentration checks, casters!

You mean your suppose to THINK when playing video games? NAAAHHHHHH. The thing that scares me is what happens when some knucklehead is playing one of these games during a very bad lightning storm? "That's right kids, this man's head is now an Easy Bake Oven."

In the popular first-person shooter "Grand Theft Auto,"

Well done, CNN.

Interesting, but probably not useful for another 5-10 years.

The article mentiones that it is already being used in application, albeirt for testing purposes.

Given the share of the video game market, I would be surprised if investors were not speculating on its feasibility as a commercial product already.

Things move fast with enough money pushing them. I, for one, look forward to rendering casters harmless with unending chatter

If anyone likes to read....there's a great series on this very subject called "Otherland" by the Green Angel Tower author....Tadd Williams (? i think?) It's awesome!

Guess I'll have to finally succumb to the temptation of reading that series.

He could have made the books more portable, though - I do most of my reading on the go, and they look much too fragile for that.

And heavy >.<

Pratchett's about the perfect size, though

chia, I looked at the first one for years at the bookstore before I finally just bought it. I mean, if it kept grabbing my attention I had to give in. Turns out I have good instincts. It's a great series.

I'll just blame it on peer pressure, then

Sometimes having a bookstore right smack on the way to work is not a good thing

Mark my words, it won't end on just one book, either...

Thanks!
