MODIFICATION: I wrote the below stuff on a bad mood. It changes how you read stuff, so that is why it’s kind of angry. Note to myself… being in a bad mood is bad, when in a bad mood, try to get out soon because happy mood is generally better than bad mood. whatever.
I read the article on Disneyland and the creation of Narrative Environments. What I think is that we should not go to games or to special places to have this immersive experiences. Why can’t we have these awesome experiences in our daily lives? Its completely backwards that we have to pay or to go to a special place to experience awesomeness. We can just make life awesome and then we wouldn’t need to go to a theme park for the purposes of experiencing fun.
Then I read Transit and I have the same thought, why did we even start to make video games, was it us seeking to experience more? The promise still feels unsatisfied. We choose to make things that will make things cooler or better and yet things still feel kind of dull. And why do we even seek this excitement, even in real life? Is it a thing that is natural to us or is it a weird desire we developed over the years because something went in a way that was not the best?
