Immersion, The Facts & Fiction

[Caliburn]

You know, there was an Extra Creditz video about the difference between making a game immersive and making it engaging... Tried to find it before but unfortunately there was no giveaway in any of the video titles. If I manage to find it sometime, I'll post it here - assuming the thread doesn't get locked by then.

Or I'll just make a new thread.

You should know the first rule of all forums: When in doubt, make a new thread.

Yeah, I said if this one gets locked.

Ok, here's how to obtain full immersion.

1- slam your head into your keyboard until you can't remember a single thing.
2- look up at you computer monitor and see ff14 on the screen.
Hopefully the swelling in you head will cause you to believe what you see is real. Remember not to hit your head too hard. If you do it to much you may lose the ability to look at your screen.

my solution:
1: drink waaaaay too much alcohol
2: log onto ffxiv
3: spend 2-3 hours shouting at the screen whenever something doesn't go your way.

Apparently this is how football fans get immersed in football matches on the t.v.

I need a catchphrase to type at the end of my post...

how about あなただけだまされてきた。

I was trying to use 'these are my thoughts on the matter' but sometimes I posted things that weren't opinions which would render it void.

Maybe I'll use wark wark.

Wark wark!

Kona, as much as I may have inspired you to begin this thread. I am glad I stayed away from it. Like a hooker with aids.
