Coolness: The company that did the character animations for GTA4 offers the ability to map your own facial expressions onto an avatar.
Oh man, that's cool. Wow, I would like to play with that software.
One wonders if, 20 years from now, this tech will be so cheap & easy that people are making their own feature length animations. A cottage industry or just more noise to signal?
I'd guess closer to 5. And that, as with everything, 90% crap, a few % sheer brilliance.
Hey, it's been one of my wandering thoughts that someday, someone would figure out to lift the Buffy video game sets/models, and use them to create new fan episodes...
Or episodes of Willow and Spike having Big Vampire Sex!
All the GTA4 talk got me to finally install a Windows partition on my Macbook, so I could play all my windows based games, including GTA3.
Windows runs okay on the Macbook, but Leopard is so much shinier.
Oh man, that's cool. Wow, I would like to play with that software.

For my b-day, I got Legend of Zelda for the Wii (I've never played Zelda - !!!) and Mario Kart. I know what I'm doing this afternoon! Woot!
Wow. I didn't think there were any humans left that hadn't played at least a little Zelda at some point.
Have fun, GC. I don't know anything about this new Zelda, but I've played several previous versions and found them quite fun and enjoyable.
I've never played any Zelda, but then I haven't played a game on anything but a PC since the days of Atari.
