The Game of Life........

Hello again,
I just thought i'd write down my thoughts about some thing that interested me. Today, i was in a contemplative mood when I was on the bus today, just gazing out of the window with my MP3 in, wondering where i want to be in the future. I was just thinking of various different things i could be doing with my life in the future. Banking?....Boring, Teacher?.....Too many bratty kids, What about an stock market job?....24Hr day, No play. So what can i do with my life? Then came a revelation, i started to think about a game that i used to play, called StarWars Galaxies (with expansion pack). What a Geek, i know, but i really loved it, Why?. In this massive online world, i existed not as Average Joe from Ilford, but CARBONATOR, A ruthless Bounty Hunter from the criminal underworld of Nar Shadaa. I was thinking once again.... That person is me? i have created him? he is modeled in my Image and plays by my rules, even if he is only an online creation. But its funny how noone creates Joe Blog's, a human from London, Earth who walks around with a kebab instead of a blaster rifle.
But the crunch is? This game, for me, got addictive, beacuse i started to become someone, notorious within this galaxy. beacuse of my hunts, I had an online Bank with around 10,000,000 republic credits in (which is a heck of a lot). Similar things have been said from players of games such as the world of warcraft etc. Who start to love their online identities. People seem to become facinated by themselfs, in online gaming worlds in which they know they will never be in, but yet provide some joy i knowing they are someone. To cut a long story short i think that the market for online gaming will become popular, quickly. Now as a Media studies styden i realise that a lot of this is comercialised and about making money but regardless, It may end up more popular than anything we have ever seen before.

I am predicting a Playstation 3 for christmas, and critics have rated the online community already as one of the best features of the system. I Will investigate this further if my prediction comes true. I will speak about the online Gaming side of things which is what i have decided to focus my Blog on. I also want to post a blog about Ergonomics which will come along shortly as a kindof one off blog for anyone who's interested.

Tell me your thoughts on my articles please, comments much apreciated.....
