Video Gaming: Culture Vs Counter Culture?

Sorry just hopping out of the hot tub...

So from what we know about games it litterally can get into any genre and even ultimately have the ability to tie multiple genres together like in Kingdom Hearts, and as such I would expect to see more video games relating to literary works just as movies have done. My postulation is that for stories such as the Bhagavad Gita and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas the technology has just recently reached a level capable of delivering these full bodied texts.

I think a platform of the Bhagavad Gita would be ridiculousy popular in India if not further just because of familiarity with its metaphors, but also just because for once a game would reach for a eastern world beyond God and Satan's duality.

And if one really wants to delve into the deranged genius of Hunter Thompson then acting out the role is truely the only way beyond picking up that book.

It has been almost a month since I wrote anything and this is a poor excuse for a blog. I have been preoccupied in my thoughts. More to come soon! I really enjoy making videos from replays I have noticed... So weird what inspires individuals to create >.<.
