I just saw a commerical for a new "toy."
It's call "dream life." You plug it into the TV and make a "dream you" and live out your dream life. It looks like the sims, but a lot scarier.

The review is the part that scares me the most. What does everyone else think? Does anyone else find it sad that little kids would actually enjoy this? The commerical was pretty creepy too, anyone see it?

hm i've been thinking the idea of some kind of VR SimLife - where you could live out your dream life of being whatever (profession - eg spy, party playboy, etc) you could imagine in some kind of dynamic and user-created world - for years now. if this is anything like as good as the game in my head i'm gonna be mad...


edit: or maybe i've been had. whatever...

lol I think you have been had

Total Recall anyone :D
