Cyber TownToday I found something extremely disturbing. I found the world. But, its not like our world. . . Its cyber. The address is CyberTown.com. Its a massive online multiplayer game, just like Everquest, Ultima, or Asheron's Call. . . with one main difference. Someone STOLE all the action.CyberTown is simply one huge virtual life. No adventure or excitement. You live your life. You get married and have kids. . . Yea, right. Like anyone playing this game has a shot at that. . . You do your job; you pay your bills; you get old; you die. Just like real life!! Wow!! I just didn't know that we were so low on space that we had to make our own Matrix. Now, not only can you be a nerd and a loser in THIS life, but in a whole 'nother life too! That's TWICE the pocket protectors and zits. . . for the price of none! Wouldn't mother be proud. Aren't we all. . . You know where this all started, of course. The early ninety's. With TV shows like "VR Troopers" and "Super Fighting Samurai Cyber Squad". When all the heros became programs and all the villians became. . . crap. Somewhere in the course of history, someone decided that saving computers was more important than saving people. . . And the super heros agreed. But, really. Who needs a living grandma when you can have a Pentium III instead? Not America, apparently. We be obSOLete. But, I guess it all really does make sense. I mean, I can't remember the last time I cried because I saw roadkill on the street or a murder on TV; but, everytime my computer crashes. . . I just really wish we had real super heros again. . . I'm just happy that they now exchange computer parts for dog parts. . . My shit was getting expensive. I guess there isn't much I'm trying to say here. Just that I'm having Everquest withdrawal, apparently. I'm just waiting until they invent the robot that runs on meat. That's when I go to Ecuador. It'll be like the Matrix. . . Only, we'll be dead. . . And robots will be eating our souls. . . Anyway, enjoy your game. I just hope you get to wake up from it someday. . . Abort? Retry? Wake up? Fail? By Danny
