im sorry brother i hate to get to the point right away but if you spent your life on the streets and learning from your every day struggles instead of hiding behind video games and a computer you would probably understand, but then again, god chose us before he created the heavens and the earth, i will pray to GOD foe your soul if only you would give him a chance,while you still have time.......

Rather than comparing games to reality, isn't playing games a natural part of reality?

That was pretty interesting how the mind can do the wave-math. It really is all about how our minds interpret it. And at some point all this stuff around us is just information. The wall might be blue, but that's how our minds interpret it through our eyes. What color is the wall really, if you use an electron microscope? It's like black with some green energy zipping around. It's information.

Isn't final fantasy 7 a multiple protagonist game? And it has strong emotional ties to the characters. So I think it can go either way. I think that also plays into how a person views the world. You have on one extreme, third person, looking at the big picture. Everything is like a big play, and I'm just watching how things interact and all the variables. A more first person, self-centered approach would mean more self-responsibility and appreciation for ones own actions. I'd bet more good deeds have been done by self-centered good people, than big-picture good people. Because the big picture gives you every excuse not to get involved. Obviously you need both.

So Multiple protagonist works in your favor when the battles are close calls or tough to get through, and they build that comaraderie and brotherhood between the protagonists. Then when one of them dies or something bad happens to them, they are connected not only through the story, but by the players own interactive experiences with them. I played BFME2 a bit, and I loved playing as goblins. They can be tough but they really have to stick together and can really do well. Whenever I have some goblin warriors get seperated and just overrun by some cavalry it is a sad hopeless feeling lol.

But it's all perspectives. I think it's a great OP and it's too bad most people can't discuss the way games emulate reality and vice versa. They take it way too personally when this subject is brought up. Which is even more funny if they don't play games themselves and don't understand what feelings and interactions are being discussed, oh well. Games are a great scapegoat and like all scapegoats, they are approached in this same manner by those who want to use them as such.

we (humans) see time as a physical property , and i agree we are in fact in a simulation( a game throws people off topic)or matrix. in order to be in a simulated game there has to be a CREATOR and if there is a CREATOR than there has to be a PURPOSE. AND if there is a PURPOSE here has to be ACCOUNTABILITY....DO NOT UNDER ESTIMATE THE CREATOR. and yes we are in a matrix but GOD is outside the time domain...thus being the creator.we can prove this threw biblical prophecy(writing things years before they happen.)

The ACCOUNTABILITY is your behavior as you play.
NO sir ACCOUNTABILITY IMPLIES JUDGMENT

yes he is my idol and that is exactly what we should aim for being like Jesus, because once you accept him as your savior his spirit dwells in you and one who fears GOD should not try to play god because of the respect and love we have for him.we as humans cannot create any thing from nothing unlike our GOD, Einsteins e=mc2 speaks of all the matter in the universe as simply changing from liquid to gas and so on and so on but not a single atom is ever lost it simply changes in to energy or takes another form.we are stuck in this virtual reality that GOD has created for his own purpose.

you've been playing way too many games,it is not a sin to wanna be like CHRIST it is a sin to think you can compare to him,all things we have invented have led to our dumbing down of society, lazyness and our own destruction,if GOD did not exist we would be extinct right now.

""But why? Why is that where you think people of your religion should stop in your quest to be "Christ-like"?""
This quest never stops because in this reality can never be achieved

my sources come from 66 different books written by 40 different authors over thousands of years,and yet we know it is an integrated message from outside our time domain.you dont understand anything about quantum mechanics, the fact that you feel better about your self when you play a role playing game,shows how low you think of your-self maybe you can only feel good about your self in this "reality of yours" mabey thats why your addicted to these, maybe you re trying to hide from reality itself. your mind is playing tricks on you
JESUS LOVES YOU-
