Hmm... if you look at it from another point of view: Each time your turn on a game, you activate a beacon of life with endless possibilities; simultaneously giving birth and purpose to countless lives within that realm.

Sorry Umi, I don't like to picture my harddrive as a big vagina spitting out millions of babies.

It is a universe, teeming with life, existing only for your enjoyment.

Is that what we are to God? A game, and when it gets boring, we're... de-installed.

Like in DF, we won't even notice if He/She/It saves and quits to do something else for a few centuries. We won't even notice if He/She/It savescums. We won't notice if God creates a new world and starts playing that one, occasionally coming back to ours. Perhaps it's a slow computer and the universe, big as it is, runs at 0.0000001 FPS, but we won't notice.

Or he uses stones.

Siquo, that post made me finally realise how infinately pointless all of existance is. I have now seen into the abyss and know why it stares back.

Oh god.

By definition, they are not alive. So you're ok there.

Yes, but my standards, all things, artificial or real, are living in a sense. That even includes the little pixel people in your computer games.

Now though, that also dictates somehow that as the owner of the computer game, you are it's said god, and may do what you wish to it's denziens.

And so I choose to act as the savior in some games, destroy of worlds in a few, and lover of and to all in others.

Not really. A link to TVtropes is a wasted afternoon. Far more effective than any mere video.

It doesn't work on someone who already exhausted that place. I find that I have read almost the whole site, even the speculative mass guessings and discussions. That's what insomnia and coffee will do to you.

It can't make the voices stop.

...

Jesus loves me this I know, for the bible tells me so. Little ones to Him belong; they are weak but He is strong.

Alright alright, too much Bioshock. :P
