I guess this is the difference. I laugh...a lot.

I know this sounds bad, but I still play neopets. frequently.

but, I have to say 2004 Neopets > Today's Neopets.

Me too!
The feeling you get when you find one... it's like you won a car on The Price Is Right or something. I don't know what it is, but there is gratification in knowing that you found a mistake that a professional copy editor did not.

You find a typo in a book... then just idle on the offending word thinking "Heh... I totally found your ass. You couldn't escape my superior gaze. These guys should hire me instead."

Action is always going to be limited and you'll never get the level of freedom that you have in a PnP RPG. Still with the mediocrity of video games as of late I don't think many people care too much.

man, you totally nail a bunch of the major points of discussion we had in our game design theory classes from 10-12 years ago. pretty sad that nothing has really changed since aside from graphics getting crisper. especially when 'geek' culture went mainstream...

the ONLY way we were ever able to perceive a legitimate shift in video games nearing anything close to the human imagination would require a significant leap in artificial intelligence possibilities. unfortunately with the way the industry is moving towards consoles and pre-packaged standardized tools i'm not holding my breath on legitimate innovation happening anytime soon, then again when's the last time you met a 6 year old who knew what their imagination was?

Honestly the neopets thing threw me off too. But I just ignored it.

lol, I know it's pretty bad, but I'm thinking of giving it up soon. I feel like a lame-o still hanging around on neopets and WAY too many emo/scene/mainstreamers hang around there. I might freeze my account.

EDIT: account frozen. goodbye, cruel neopet world.

And I heard.

Neopets isn't cool around scene kids. But, that's just what I heard.
