Yeah I've heard of this kind of thing. I think it'd be fun however it would require too much time! Since everything is live, you can't stop the events that follow and therefore if you slow down, you're left behind. I think it's still a bit limited to what can be done. Although! It COULD make a cool film.....HMMMMM!!!!!! (Directors instincts take over!!!!) I could make it about someone who starts one of these games but then finds the game not only interacting with his own life, it even begins to change things within his family, workplace, social status maybe. This could all become part of this acted out game he's in except he doesn't know who's part of the game and who's just along with him for the ride. Hmmmm.....Sorry, my wannabe director took over! HAHA! Sound interesting anyone?

But I DO think it sounds interesting however, I think the main drawback is that these things are made solely for entertainment and can't affect the real world. I think that if these games could affect people in a realistic way it would become MUCH more interesting of a form of.....well something! I think it's like videogames but without the virtual reality part just yet. We need to get past the "fake" barrier and move into the real. That would make the "ARGs" something to talk about.... ;)
