It sounds like you understand singularities as a whole much better than I do, but the technological singularity is extremely plausible. Technologically, we've been developing at an exponential rate and the rate hasn't been slowing down. Through Ray Kurtzweil's theory, it's plausible that it could be kept up through…

Beckett's lawyers will FUCK YOU UP.

I would buy that... If it had batteries and had a closed disc drive. Maybe a bigger screen. Ah well.

Right right, but the player can only examine individual sections of the tape at a time, right? It seems like it would be fast forwarding and rewinding a lot, or at least have a large amount of RAM.

What do you mean singularities don't happen in real life? First of all, there's only one, second of all if it's supposed to come in 2045, how can you tell?

I tried buying it. Did anyone buy it before me? Is there more than one copy?

The only way I can understand how a VHS video game would work is if it just fast-forwarded and rewinded when you picked a certain option. The only type of games you could use it for would be choose-your-own-adventure, right?

I checked and you're right about Moore's law, but it varies with the technology. Either way, the technology for making 3DSs will quickly become more and more affordable.

I don't think I've ever paid more than $50 for a game and I am staying at that limit. I don't think games are worth more than $50. I agree that new games should be staggered in price like used ones, but I would definitely never buy an $80 game, no matter how amazing. Perhaps the games could be priced based on internet…

It's called the law of accelerating returns and it's based off of Moore's law. Every year, technological efficiency doubles. It's what drives the theory of the singularity.

It handles AR fine, but it looks grainy and kills the illusion of it being a window into a hidden world.

Which means that in a year it'll take $50 of raw materials and in 2 years $25.

@Theon: A lot of those series were mentioned, though!

I could get by with saying, "Oh, you like the YACHT too? Did you hear their new single?"

Yes, that was inferred.

You know, considering how many RPGs I've played, I don't think I've really ever gotten so into it that I could convince you that I was role-playing. Ironic, but I do see it as a stack of numbers.

@My Little Metroid: I'm wondering if they should drop the accents altogether or have real Italians talk in English. It's tricky to fix when the way they're talking is already wrong.

I read it as Duke Nukem: Forever Delayed.
