“These photographs are long exposures taken while playing video war games of the 80’s created by Atari, Centuri and Taito. The photographs were shot from video game screens while I played the games. By recording each second of an entire game on one frame of film, I captured complex patterns not normally seen by the eye.”

In the following video, Japanese gameshow “Downtown no Gaki no Tsukai ya Arahende!!†takes a simple game but changes one thing… it takes place in a library and you can’t make a sound.
Because you can’t make a sound, it makes the whole scenario that much enjoyable to watch. They try not to laugh out loud, when getting tortured, they try to be quiet (but always end up making the situation funnier).
People do this now with card games and alcohol; loose a hand, take a drink, makes the game more enjoyable. I wonder how this could work for video games. Maybe something like a FPS where all you hear is foot steps. Or you can only see when you’re not shooting (so people aren’t so run’n’gun crazy).
I just find it interesting they changed one simple rule and it’s changes the experience.

They need to make games you can play when you’re sick… something where you don’t have to hit to many buttons or really concentrate. Cause I want to play a game right now, but to sick too. I guess that is why they make movies… or Peggle.

i’ve been hearing arguments that games on the Xbox 360/PS3 are antisocial but the Wii breeds nothing but social game play. yes, a lot of games on the Xbox 360/PS3 are sinlge player games, games you wouldn’t play when you have company around. but i can’t remember the last time i sat down and read a book with someone. i do remember talking about a book with someone who read the same book… we were being social. now, i do agree, Wii Sports is a very social game, much like Rock Band, Mario Kart, Castle Crashers, and about 1,000 other titles.
people are social or they’re not. the game system they play games on doesn’t change that.
and for the record, my Wii has 2 friends on it. my Xbox 360 has 86 friends and supports voice/video chat.
