You know... if this happened to me, it would likely leave me whimpering too. 14 years would be a long time to wait.

I still want a Direct Neural Interface. Or, at a minimum, retinal projection combined with negative-feedback controls.

Come on. That leads to, "If you die in the game, you really die" scenarios.

Perhaps in a Microsoft implementation, but we're discussing Playstation 5, not X Box RL.

This idea has been so hideously overdone in fiction that any real-world implementations will be paranoid about making sure it DOESN'T go that way.

Yeah but it would just take one person with a weak heart to ruin everything.

"Dude! I was playing Tetris and I WAS the blocks! It was amazing!"

Actually if Concur stock ever goes to $10,000 a share, the one thing I would want to buy is one of those virtual roller coaster things. How cool would it be to ride a roller coaster first thing in the morning every day?

I'll be the first person under the knife, just as soon as the first person to have it done commercially wakes up, jacks in, and has no side effects.

Though the retinally imaged screen sounds utterly droolworthy.
(And it's rather likely to happen in the next five years)

The question is not "can you wait the 14 years...?"

Rather, the question is "Can you find a way to mug a ghost before 14 years have gone by?"

I mean, c'mon. The Marvel vs DC would have me quivering and then the Star Wars game? I would be a broken heap on the floor too.

Well, yeah. It's a hilarious article, though. That's what I was laughing at, mainly because it isn't me :-D

*nods* I know. It was hillarious and then I started thinking about it and realized I would be broken by the games and the idea that I would be 40 before I saw any of them.
