I've recently been poking around BBC computer game news archives, and found a few interesting things, the following included:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/1899420.stm Reactions? Isn't it kind of appalling? That a FAKE country can make more money than a real one? Kind of gives you a look at how much rich nations prosper, that we can create our own countries that make more money than the real ones. Wow. -------------------- I close my mouth now and I scream, Open the door, there's nothing worth redeeming I saw your face before in rough, You should wait around a while, your body's bound to turn up.

Very very weird. Yet it makes sense. Online video games are taking over people's lives. Poor Bulgaria.

I can only assume that this whole fiasco will slowly spiral down into a future where we do nothing but measure the economies, society, and historical development of fake countries, as opposed to actually attempting to participate in the actual physical environment.
Seriously, though, that is quite interesting. A bit disturbing, as well. -------------------- "I always have a quotation for everything - it saves original thinking." ~Dorothy L.

At least they are to poor to buy a computer and find out how crappy they have it. Seriously though that shows you how messed up some people have their priorities. -------------------- What would Zorro do?-Homer Simpson |
