The question is not "can we have amazingly realistic graphics?", but "should we?"


And you should know that people will never stop arguing about graphics. It's what we do.

True, there will always be artistic styles for different genres, but for a lot of games it will be. Racing games, simulators, sports, shooters, etc. But there will always be room for cartoony or fantasy styling that isn't meant to be realistic.

Paulguy's Post configuration
I hope hyper-realism doesn't become the norm for most games. That just sounds boring. I could see it for sports/simulation games, but otherwise it's just bland.

Off the topic of video games for a little bit, we had some serious thunder and lightning last night. So much that it woke my kids up so I decided to get some video. Most of it was too far north for me to get from my bathroom window that faces east. But I got this one really good strike on video, here are some screen caps of it:








And the quick 7 second clip these came from:

Neat. Had some nasty lightning here a few days ago. Very loud.

Another day, another lack of posts from me. Doesn't help that I have no competition less unless I want to suddenly post 4000 times.

It was actually pretty clear last night, still clouds all around but not completely overcast. Today is a different story. Can't see the sun, nice and dusky, light rain. What a beautiful day!

Man, I really need to not play Modern Warfare 2 before going to bed. I stayed up till 2:40am playing it and had to get up 3 hours later to go to work... I'm feeling ok right now but getting up was really hard.

I need to play more of MW2 while I'm waiting for Battlefield to release.

I would provide competition, but then I would have to suddenly post another 47000 times.

Yeah. I'm kind of in a post island up here. It's lonely near the top, I guess...

I currently have my sights set on Peardian. On deck would be Illumina. Both on my post radar That reticle is closing in on my targets!

The next person on my post radar is Terra.

Yeah, I'm not going to pass her anytime soon...

What a coincidence, I do too!

Not that I'm actually trying or anything.

I don't have anyone on my radar =(

I should probably add someone with a ridiculous amount of post that I could never hope to catch up to =P

I'm busy chasing after Terra as well, and I'm the closest to her currently.

Clearly, your only remaining rival is an imaginary phantom with twice the posts you have now. :p
