Animal Crossing: A Touching Story

Yes, I know it sounds like madness but this really is something I felt worth posting. Text Version About two years ago, I bought the game Animal Crossing. It was fun for awhile, me and my brother played it for about a month, then got tired of it. I’m always trying to convert my parents to videogames, however, and thought that Animal Crossing would be simple enough for them to get into.

Spending all day at home in a wheel chair bored her, so the relief Animal Crossing provided her was kind of amazing. She payed off her house in the game, she collected all the fossils, etc. Her condition got progressively worse, and she eventually stopped playing. I had forgotten about Animal Crossing, I hadn’t played it in over a year and a half. Then I came to my mailbox, it was full of letters with presents- all from my mom.

Anyway, I know it’s probably cheesy, but I was just amazed at how much this affected me and I thought I’d share. - StumbleUpon. Robert Lanza, M.D. - BIOCENTRISM & Is Death An Illusion? Evidence Suggests Death Isn&t the End. After the death of his old friend, Albert Einstein said “Now Besso has departed from this strange world a little ahead of me.

Robert Lanza, M.D. - BIOCENTRISM & Is Death An Illusion? Evidence Suggests Death Isn&t the End

That means nothing. People like us … know that the distinction between past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.” New evidence continues to suggest that Einstein was right – death is an illusion. Our classical way of thinking is based on the belief that the world has an objective observer-independent existence. But a long list of experiments shows just the opposite. We believe in death because we’ve been taught we die.

Until we recognize the universe in our heads, attempts to understand reality will remain a road to nowhere.

The 6 Most Ominous Trends in Video Games

Every generation is remembered by its popular art; when you think of the 60s you think of Woodstock and hippie music. When you think of the 80s, you think of Miami Vice and the birth of music video. So when your grandchildren think of the 2010s, what will they picture in their minds? Gaming for Good. For years, video games have been linked to aggression and violence, with researchers and media reports suggesting that violent games have inspired or even caused violent acts. But a new study suggests that video games can be a force for good, finding that games with positive objectives can actually inspire people to perform acts of altruism. Research suggests that games like Lemmings, where the goal is to help others, inspire real-life acts of altruism. Over four experiments, Tobias Greitemeyer and Silia Osswald, researchers at the University of Sussex in England and Ludwig-Maximilian University in Germany, respectively, had participants play either a “prosocial” game—a game where the goal is to help others—or a “neutral” game, meaning it has no characters with whom to interact positively or negatively, like Tetris.

The authors also investigated why they might have seen this link between prosocial games and prosocial behavior. Imagining the Tenth Dimension - A Book by Rob Bryanton. Alien-contact.jpg from macromeme.com.
