[QUOTE="DrunkonDuty, post: 4769365, member: 54364"] Well just the other day I told one of my younger friends (he's 23-ish) that I spent so much time down Memory Lane that I'd renamed it Nostalgia Avenue, widened it, planted rows of shade trees and put a coffee stall in about half way along so I'd have somewhere to stop for a nice breakfast. So I guess I can sympathize with you Joe. That being said: I aint dead yet and intend to try a few more things yet before I am. I'm not really thinking about game systems you understand (yes I will try them, but there's so much more out there.) More like travelling, taking dance lessons, learning a musical instrument, maybe even diving back into serious relationships after a 12 year break. Still have to finish that damn novel too. :o Oh yeah: I know what I wanted to say. About no new stories, everything in the media being re-hashed stuff from yester-year. This comes down largely to the fact that mass media is a business and businesses tend not to take risks on unknown products. They'll stick with some tired old franchise instead because they hope it will sell better. And often they are correct. What does this say about the consumers? But there are new things I'm sure. Maybe much of it doesn't find its way into the main stream media but it's out there. Artists will create and they will prefer to create without interference from outside agencies. All the stories of our current epoch have NOT been told. In fact I don't think it's possible for this to happen. So no need for a major change in the human condition to create new stories. In fact I don't really believe in specific epochs. These are merely groupings of convenience used by historians after the fact. Just re-read the above. Kee-rist! Sorry. It's 1.00 am and I have found myself stream of consciousness-ing. I'll shut up now. [/QUOTE]
