I sometimes feel bad for spending so much time thinking about fictional worlds. We may be pioneers for a future society of uploads, but mostly we are just pretending to be elves and beating up imaginary rock monsters.
And then I see what passes for news in the real world, and I feel much better.

Hey, if we’re really lucky, we’ll have the uploading thing underway before the planet’s completely screwed. I’ll bet the Wachowski brothers never figured people would enter the matrix willingly. ;)
I’ve got my elves and rocket launchers and the wife has her trashy shows. I’d give up MMOs altogether if she’d stop buying that crap and watching those shows though :p

We’re working to make the world a better place. If everyone were addicted to MMO, who’d have time for crime or other nastiness.
Tuebit speaks the truth. I would totally mug and rob people in real life, but I have six more rats to kill before I level…
Zubon is just mad he didn’t get into the “Worlds of Britney” beta.
Hey hey, better world, not Brit-Brit world.
