[QUOTE="Kaisoku, post: 4748794, member: 58447"] Why do people still go for walks? We have many better ways of transportation, gets us places quicker, that still gives us excercise, etc.. while even keeping the same scenic view if we want. Walking has been around since we stood upright, and yet it's still here even after all this "technology". So, why do we still [I]prefer[/I] to go for walks from time to time? Because there's something we enjoy in visceral sensation of the action. Yeah, there's other factors in my analogy, so it's not perfect... whatever. My point is that tabletop gaming gives us a particular set of sensations that we just don't get when playing through a computer screen (no matter how sophisticated it gets). Literally... "It's just not the same." Like Stormtalon said... until we have the Matrix, tabletop won't be replaced by technology. [/QUOTE]
