Fate Of Fates: Future Reality Simulation Online Game(final)

In the future, the internet might be of great use.

Just think about this, a game that is so realistic you play with it like it was your own life, its you! Stay at home, go to work using your self made avatar, and you can also make it look just like you by how? Just scan your picture using of course a scanner! And you can walk on the virtual world and its just the same thing like strolling along on Luneta because, it is the world! It has the Philippines, USA, Britain, North Pole, and so many more. And exact happenings happen there, car accidents, people walking, and whatever it is! So go now and wait for the future!

First, imagine, as you open your computer, you see on your desktop a game named The Fate Of Fates. As you open it, you don’t click anything, you see your avatar looking just like you inside with a computer in front of him, then you can move him. The boss calls him. You put him to work. You make him ride the jeepney or a car that would just like yours. You see everything so nostalgic. The insides of your car, the road, the buildings, your neighbor. Yes, your neighbor is there. Which means it simulates your whole life, every little bit of it! Including your boss of course! Say, speaking of bosses, your avatar’s working already on the office, and mind you, You’re doing well! Good job! Wait, wait! Brown out!

Anyway, As you step out and leave your computer alone, someone calls you, and it’s your boss. He shouted on the phone, “Jolly Good Job today!! You’re promoted!”. See? Technology just brings out the good stuff in life!

Another good thing about this game is it’s for free! Hahahaha! Anyway, this game is earning money through its ratings so no need to be a good guy wondering how we earn money. We got it all covered just for the both of us. John Smedley, the president of “EverQuest” and “Star Wars Galaxies” publisher Sony Online Entertainment, once said can now cost more than $30 million to develop a-must-evolve. Yes, this was true, in his generation! This time, we have ways that will surely make the costumer wanting for more and us earning more bucks.

By the way, since nobody has ever invented this game except me. This had been winning awards. Since when? I can’t even remember. Because of this every source of internet has a free FOF installed in them and ready to go anyway, everything’s been WiFi since this was invented due to popular demand, which means no need for cd’s, dvd’s, and even downloading; in other words, no need for installation. Hahahaha!

Fate of Fates with of course, the other games that are available, will surely have a good future in the eyes of both kids and adults. Whyboth kids and adults you say? It’s because, not just because its is an online game, only kids could play it, or iy you’re an adult, you’ll become immature you say? No, not at all. This generation, games have already become a helpful tool to the community in creating better workers, leaders, bosses, or even parents.

The ruling class of online gamers isn’t pimply young boys, it’s moms - and grandmas. Ruth Lyon is a 66-year-old retired nurse in Honor, Michigan. Instead of watching Jeopardy or reading, she spends three or four hours a night playing euchre and bridge online with her son in California and her daughter in Ohio. And, since she lives tucked away in a cottage on a remote lake, she finds it a convenient way to make friends. “It’s amazing how many older people are doing this,” she says. Online games also help Anne Richards, 56, feel less alone. Confined to a wheelchair, Richards spends a lot of time inside her Florida home. “What I really like is that it’s a place to find some human contact,” she says. “It gives me a place to go.”

Of course, too much of this game can lead to negative effects, one example is, if you have a brain that copies what you usually see and you see your own avatar fighting, in real life you might apply it. Other examples are:

  • bad sleeping habits
  • Poor grades if its as addicting as WoW(Though that kinda depends on the person)
  • Decline in personal hygiene
  • probably less social interaction if you’re not playing an MMO or on X-Box Live

Of course if there’s bad, there’s good. One of these is that if you’re somebody who is for example, confined, you would still have a chance of interacting with someone in the outside world, just like what  stated. Another perfect example of a good thing about online games is…

It helps u out of boredom and applies ur rascal mind to work.

All of these equals to one thing, the future looks good for online gaming.

In any case, with next-generation platforms coming from Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft, and with cell phones having excellent graphics and portable game devices popping up everywhere, publishers are going to have to evolve, Smedley said. Or they’ll go the way of an orc getting slain by a group of better-prepared fighters.

looking to the future….

If I were a scientist in the future, the internet would be really helpful. Using all the advance technologies that we already have and more in the future, it would be more easier for us to send information and to be inform by the other scientist through internet. Communicate, inter change knowledge and learned to the other scientist around the world about their wonderful experiences that base on their work and learned from it. By that day, the internet will be in satellite connection and you can already talk to the person and see each other, in as if like you are setting beside each other, but in reality the person that your talking with is in the other country. Base in the languages, it could be easier too, because the translation will be more efficient and clearer by that days or may be it would be set in any languages depending to the persons perspective.

the instrument that they will needed will be easier to find and buy. today, you can shop in the internet by simply type the name of the thing/s you need. Two-thirds of respondents who use the Internet call it an “important” or “extremely important” source of information, according to a UCLA survey. Just 52% ranked TV and 47% considered radio at the same level. The study also found that Users called the Internet highly credible.
