Ever since I was a young boy,
I played the silver ball...
from Soho down to Brighton,
I must have played them all...
but I ain't seen nothing like him,
in any amusement hall...
that deaf, dumb, and blind kid,
sure plays a mean pinball...
good times.
As someone who has dabbled in making a game or two, I can say for sure that a good virtual reality will never come to light until completely procedurally generated content comes into play. The sheer volume of content required even for an incredibly linear game such as Half-life 2 is huge, with nearly every object in the game being reused multiple times. In a virtual environment that could easily be mistaken for the real world, every single item that a person could imagine would have to be created on the spot. Virtual reality will only work if we have everyone in the world working all the time to create content for it, because that's what takes the real time in creating something.

It's a collection of billions of computers all over the world connected together in a large network. bing!
Yes, "Ogg Vorbis" is a bit wordy. and it's a little too sci-fi. I think they should just go with ogg.
hmm, in a normal printer, I'd use a small needle. In this case, I'd use a small explosive.
