I'm not surprised to find that they're already behind the curve, covering "The Sims" (a dated franchise) rather than all these new virtual reality games that actually operate with financial systems based on our own (there are actually people making quite a bit of money by selling virtual property). There was an article about that in <I>Business Week</I> and I think either <I> The New Yorker</I> or <I>New York</I> . . . I read too many periodicals to remember where exactly.Aaron Ricciohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05003634532469211190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12657288.post-1147038856587467892006-05-07T17:54:00.000-04:002006-05-07T17:54:00.000-04:00Thanks for heads up, Playgoer!One thing tho... gra...Thanks for heads up, Playgoer!<BR/><BR/>One thing tho... grabbing your scene partner and thrusting her into the air and delivering a speech to her without having rehearsed it is both selfish and irresponsible, no matter how "in the moment" you feel. The potential (a) for throwing off your scene partner or (b) injuring them or (c) yourself are all increased dramatically in such a situation.<BR/><BR/>But then again, so much of the Americna Method and the idea of being "completely in the moment" and doing what you "feel" can be selfish and irresponsible anyway... as we can see in the example of Marlon Brando.parabasishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12476856869466695694noreply@blogger.com
