Well as the title reads I am going to give some different scenarios for the 'fututre of gaming' that I don't think anybody has mentioned because well... they are a tad insane.

We have been talking for seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, seasons, years and decades about the positive future of gaming and so far it has been that well now I am going to mention some things that will leave gamers lying on the floor in a fit of fear and doubt about their favourite past time :)

So here we go (Sheepy scans brain for negative future)

Ah ha, the first one in my head. The Third World War. Now if this were to happen which it could very well could as the world is unstable. The Future of gaming would be out the window. (To see this effect throw your Playstation out the window). First of all there would be nothing in production, no new consoles, no new games as everyone would be at war. All technology would be used to think of new ways of destroying the enemy in reality and not in a game. All the work force would be out fighting in the war as well. Anything that had been just finished being produced would never reach you as there would be little trade and the trade that would be happening would not be used for gaming. So you just better pray that there won't be a war or you and you gaming would be dead.

On a more humorous note. The opposite sex. As we already know most of the female gender don't appreciate gaming and at times mock as for our love of it. (How dare they I hear you shout). So how can they affect gaming? Well already more female members are gaining power in high jobs. They could deciede gaming was ot a major concern of their company and cut costs for research and production of work on gaming and spent the research on make-up and the usual womananly stuff :D Also all of you teenage gamers as myself, the future of girl-friends and wifes will heavily decrease your gaming time and money spent on games (NO NEVER! I hear, well I am afraid it WILL happen) ask a few of the older members here, I am sure they will share their experiences with this.

In not a long time from now the world resources are going to go lower than William Hagues braincell count. So that means there will be no fuel to run machines that create games/consoles. Work force can't get into work as cars have no petrol. Can't export/import goods so lack of production. No fuels mean no electricity so consoles go first for not being able to play, and eventually batteries will die so GBA will go. So overall not looking to good.

Now for a lovely over the top one. So you think Microsoft will do well? (NO/YES) will they will do even worse if an asteroid from space landed on the place in America where Microsoft are, only enough to wipe them out and not destroy Earth.

So there you go, a lovely negative future for you all to look forward to. Remember all these scenarios could take place.

For more insane remarks from me tune in later!

But we all know that saddam hussain is buying the latest games consoles (the reason behind the PS2 shortages!!) to steal their processors and create the most advanced guiding systems for his big missiles, games consoles will dictate the future of the planet, never mind games!!
