I want some answers, no sorry - I need some answers because I am in a state of extreme confusion, a state that I cannot seem to escape from, and why? Who knows, if I knew I'd not have the need to post this topic, but there you go and I have, so please take into consideration the immense confused state of mind that I am currently in whilst writing this post - no doubt you'll join my frame of mind after reading this, although when I finally post this I will probably be beyond confusion, and into the highly strenuous world of delusion, should I not be there already.

Long sentence there, forgive me; I should be better at this.

Ok, so, yes this does have a future of gaming element to it, but as whether you'll be able to find any meaning in it is another matter entirely. So where do we go now, what do we do now, and why should we do it?

Exactly. My point, it makes no sense - the world of gaming confuses me with many flashy sign posts guiding a different way down Silicon Valley - what am I to do? Do I keep on the track that appears to be crumbling, a desert of nothingness and not a sign of life in sight, or do I follow the fun trail, full of colour and excitement - a trail of innocence, but an experienced innocence and magic, but that path is not yet open for me to walk down, so do I wait? I should wait should I? I can look down that path - I see an incredible way down it, but it's weird and adds further confusion to my feet, but it's so bright down there, it looks so brilliant and hopeful - with a longer trail than the one I have been on, with a familiar face inside it - where do I turn to?

I could wait - I could wait for the other path to be opened, a path that does not seem horizontal, but one that appears as a crop circle - with flashing luminous lights all around - a green aura surrounding, I look up, everything looks more advanced, but the view is obscured, so many who should take this path, perhaps, are turning away. Or maybe I could turn back on my trail, head back down the path, part of the way and take the route that seems fairly ordinary - but one with many walkers, I've been down that way before, but I could always return, I just need to walk a little further - it looks very professionally laid out, but to me, a little lifeless? Maybe I have no clue what to do, but all I know is that the path I am on is drying up and the end is in sight, I could stay here for a while, it's been a fantastic journey, but all good things come to an end & new places need to be visited. I'll have to sleep on this one.

If you can help me, help ease this burning pain inside the inner walls of my mind, if you can tell me which path I should take, I'd be grateful, I can always turn back and go down another, but there's only one path open right now other than the one I am standing on. I need to leave it.

PS2's path is ladened with danger and uncertaintyl, the GC path is that of originality and beauty, it's not too late to turn back!

I guide my feet in the downwards direction to the living room, where I am faced by an ugly 21 inch standard screen.

My Tv is in Bradford, being "tested" on by the chimps that call themselves engineers, at empire direct - it's been back FIVE times, the fault they never seem to acknowledge, and it's urinating me off.


Argh, I've paid £400 for a widescreen television, I have had it for less time than they have.

I feel cheated.

Where is it now?

More importantly, HOW CAN YOU LIVE WITHOUT TV?

In reply to the original post:

Dan Dan, the poet man!

That's a great analogy, and very true too. It's deeper than the Atlantic and has more meaning than Aristrocraces's notebook.

Great post, worthy of GAD anyday. All you need now is a PS2, controller, spare telly and directions to my house and you can claim GT3 and have big race-fest!
