a possible game.
Posted by alex under musings
So I was listening to my girlfriend talk last night. And it hit me. I want to play a game that is like “The Matrix” meets “THX.” Yeah, that terrible Lucas movie from the early 70’s that I never saw.
Here’s the premise.
A group of people, that know they’re in a virtual world with their “meat bodies” plugged in some where try to see what if it would be possible to leave the matrix and live out their existence in their meat bodies. They don’t know that “before” people lived in their meat bodies all of the time. So, as they try to figure this out the system sends programs to try and stop them. However, these programs function like the robot cops from THX. They’re totally inept. In the end, some of them have to come to terms with the fact they aren’t people but programs, while others are able to escape. The ones that escape, well, they die. After who know how long of just sitting in a vat of their own excrement, they can’t live unattached from the system…
Well, maybe that doesn’t sound to good.
