cool. can you please elaborate on why you think an endless tide of cookie-cutter crpgs is proof that the western world is going to collapse?
The 6th letter of every Kotaku 6th article dedicated to RPGs is "G" -- the 6th letter of the alphabet. It's a clear message inadvertently trickling down from higher dimensions.
The fractal pattern is clear:
3D world = where we live = base reality
>dimensions below the 3rd are constituent parts
>dimensions above are what we are a constituent part of
>information freely travels from below, but not so easily from above (think thermodynamics -- heat rises/transfers from hot to cold)
>therefore, information about dimensions above requires special circusmtances (think air conditioners or refrigerators that game the thermodynamic system)
Video game world = sans-dimensional, because it's recorded as data = a metaphor for the super and sub realities that make up our 3D world
>the super-dimensional aspect of data can trickle down through special means
Journalism world = a reflection of the things happening in our own world, and therefore a siphon
>much like sifting through dirt at the bottom of the stream (stream = flow of the universe) can yield gold, so can sifting through data yield nuggets of special data
>articles unwittingly capture "gold" bits of data about the topics they're written on
>the gold here is the first sentence of this whole explanation
It's not hard man. Think about it.
