A hilarious and possibly unsettling article that is a must-read for anybody involved in MMORPGs.
http://www.cracked.com/article_18461_5-creepy-ways-video-games-are-trying-to-get-you-addicted.html

Muy fascinante.  I always wondered how one would engineer a video game like a science, to get you to behave in a way which makes me the most money.  Thanks a lot! :)

This reminds me of Evony, a game.

Quote from: Wikipedia
The slogans used to advertise the game also frequently included references to a "queen" or a "lover" to save, although there is no queen or lover within the game. Additionally, they frequently state that the user can "play discreetly".

You hardly answered the questions.......

I'm done arguing with you, you probably did evolve, but I didn't, I don't have to explain things to myself, just look around you for god's sake, the signs of a creator are everywhere!

I can walk, because, I learned through trial and error, how to use the muscles that are in my body, and it's quite obvious that my body is DESIGNED to walk.


Nice one John! :cheesy:

Yah, but Modman brought the discussion over here, not me, and I was too lazy to move it back, because I had just gotten back from a bick ride, and I felt like collapsing. :P

My bad.  I usually copy the stuff over into Word when I make a long post (so I can save and don't lose my progress) but I posted it in the wrong spot. :-[

I love how when Mozilla is updating and improving their browser, Microsoft is busy desperately trying to keep theirs from killing your computer with malware. ;D
