Quantum physics

A conversation in IRC.

For reference, Sherak is me.

ShadowWolf: Quantum Physics is interesting.. *reads on*
Sherak: yeah
Sherak: Stuff being different when not studied upon... Messes up your mind just nicely.
* ShadowWolf sets mode: -o Rennyn
ShadowWolf: So what does this mean?
ShadowWolf: The trees, cars, houses, in fact, all the objects you observe in your everyday life are nothing more than a collection of waves of probability until they are actually measured or observed. And it doesn’t matter whether you observe them today or tomorrow or next year, time has no meaning. It is through our observations, our sentient knowledge of ‘reality’ that we force the many waves of probability to collapse into an outcome that we ca
ShadowWolf: We Create Our Reality From All That Is Possible
ShadowWolf: So take a closer look at that cup of coffee, and imagine the possibilities.
* ShadowWolf sets mode: +o Rennyn
ShadowWolf: O.o
Sherak: Yeah, that messes up your mind just nicely :p
Sherak: So if I hypnotized all the people in earth to believe that im floating in the air, including myself, would I be really floating in the air?
* Rennyn has quit IRC (Exit: Peace and Protection 4.22)
Sherak:If a tree falls down in a forest without anybody around, would it still produce sound?ShadowWolf: heh, mind boggling huh?
ShadowWolf: enough to drive a sane man insane
* ShadowWolf is now known as SWAway
Sherak: But the quantum theory only works on small particles
Sherak: which makes me think that maybe the matrix is real
Sherak: and we are actually somewhere else... Or maybe we are just programs, like SIMS in a huge video game
Sherak: But the stuff coded to this game can be only so small So when we find out smaller things, they appear as what we think they are, because the code for them is there, but the 3D artist hasn't bothered to model them.

And so, another great theory was born.

The saying "friend in need is a friend indeed" doesn't apply when the need is too great.

Do you want it, or do you want it? I know I do.

It will rock.

How to make a game

1. Take the current great game, the best seller of the year.
2. Make a webpage for the game, and hype it as much as you can. Although you haven't even started coding it, or "planning", as much planning as a modified game needs.
3. Code the best seller game again, but modify it barely enough to avoid the lawsuits.
4. Remember to add slightly better graphics than in the previous game.
5. Spend years making that crap, but still save the time on beta testing.
6. Implant a questionable copy protection software and sell the game.
7. Make easy money, people are stupid. If you don't make money, blame the piracy.

The newest MMO game, Stargame MMORPG seems to use this guideline above.

As do all MMOs. And people still wonder why I play UO. Because 3D graphics ain't enough to make me bother playing the same game under another title.

That's... Weird.

Anyway, sorry about the lack of updates. I blame the writer's block.
