I just want virtual reality, I'll pass on most of those, except the pimped out wrist watch, that looks awesome.

Virtual Reality would be awesome!!

Imagine if we had to actually had to *run* in the escape maps, and *build* barricades using physical strength instead of pressing keys on a keyboard. Think of how many calories we would burn every day!! AND TEAMWORK SKILLS!

The fat lazy asses would also get left behind and zombified! Hahahaha!

The Marines would win every time!! ;D

I was thinking more along the lines of a matrix-like virtual reality where we're basically astral brings in another world. That way games wouldn't be limited by attributes of humans and such, and it would make way for some epic games.

I already know what my residual self image would be.

I think both would be cool. Although Walter's idea does have one major advantage, you wouldn't need admins to take care of noobs. Just pistol whip their cade breaking asses.

James, your idea reminds me of The Surrogates.

The Surrogates?

Haven't heard of it.

Should remind you of like, matrix though..

[Paper]

The Surrogates is a graphic novel being made into a movie starring bruce willis, although, from what I've seen of the trailer, they seem to be deviating from the novel so I don't have high expectations for it. The thing that makes me think of it more than the matrix is you can change your appearance (or gender) in the surrogates. You plug into a robot body instead of a computer pretty much.

I only read the beginning of it (it was my friends copy), but it was pretty cool.
