The Other Worlds Shrine

Your place for discussion about RPGs, gaming, music, movies, anime, computers, sports, and any other stuff we care to talk about... 

  • Damn...I guess nobody is playing any RPGs today.

  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>There are very few today who are able to know WWII firsthand. The WTC bombing happened yesterday, we all watched the entire event unfold on TV screens. What most of us know about WWII is out of a textbook, whereas we watched the WTC bombing on live TV. There's a respectable difference in personal connection here.

People fifty years from now will intellectually know about this, but that's it, just like we intellectually know about WWII. Insensitivity towards WWII is actually a weak issue, since relativly few people hold a very strong connection to WWII now, since the only connection they have is through textbooks. Yesterday we watched both towers crumble to the ground live... that leaves a much stronger connection to the event than a textbook can give to WWII.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>I'm not saying the WTC bombing was a worse event, I'm saying that the amount of people who were actually THERE to become emotiotionally attached to the event and are still alive TODAY is far larger with the WTC bombing than WWII.</div>
