This is a blog brought about by a school project...but I do see a future me finding a use for it. Notch certainly seems to have a successful blog. It would be nice to garner as much respect as him.

VIQ's (Very Important Questions)
There are several resounding questions that cause me to ponder, such as: What would happen if there was a videogame in which life itself was imitated, down to the very last detail and action that is found in life? Could this possibly be a valuable learning experience as gamers try to manage an avatar in daily life, striving to become a master entrepreneur while competing against other online players? Or would this be used in ways not intended by the designers, like robbing a bank, or performing heinous crimes simply because there are no consequences, save for what the game's programming laws depict such as the imprisonment of their character. Could this spark a wave of disillusioned gamers to become criminals? How could video games alter the way we as human beings think? Should they even attempt to imitate life? Which video games could provide a better experience in creativity and excitement while still remaining enjoyable? For what are video games without an entertainment factor? That is the ultimate goal of video game designers: to create the best possible experience in entertainment. My questions are there; all that is left to do is answer them.
