""The Media Is The Message(*)""
""The Media Is The Message(*)""
Elfin babe eye candy sets the moral tone of the ''Maximum Power Computing ATOMIC'', the web page. - Content - is the filler for a multimedia format.
This web page is a collaborative commercial effort to attract attention, entertain, and sell products and services.
And, ... 'Lord Garriott's nex' MMO.
Before the Business Administration majors get their thongs all twisted into a emo-erotica wedge-y,
I have nothing against good salesmanship,
and, and, AND ... I did find the flashing invite to sub to ATOMIC, and the flaming DELL ads a tedious and irritating interruption of this 'Lord Garriott' infotainment presentation.
Sir Gregarious A-Lot, ...
The 'Lord-God-Emperor' of "Role-Playing-games''!
Tell me another story ... sugar daddy.
Got mo' pic's of Elfin Tits?
Busy-busy are the web pages.
Magazines and newspapers have been sharing visual fields for generations, and they are shrinking media.
Not only because of the nex gen double think initiative --- ''"redding teh hard"".
I think the media usurper, the web page, may not become the totally dominate species. Just the media of prurient interests, it's pure(?) visual main line to sex appeal.
Advertisements force their way into the attention's focus and cause a reflexive friction. Sales resistance.
Commercial TV has had trouble justifying it's fees since trodden down consumers started fast forwarding through the advertising content with VCR / TEVO recorded time shifting.
Multi tasking may be the norm, and filtering out, not so subliminal, flashes is part of the modern skill set.
Once one gets the measure of the playing field, then the meta-puzzle of shrieking self interests can be looted.
The 'Lord Garriott' ""Once And Future"", future MMO shilling is acceptable because it's the price our eye balls pay to receive the rest of the information. 'Lord Garriott' is as good as any other founding dev to mine for RPG quotes.
Interesting that the Gold Box Buck Rogers is seen as a sign of decline for SSI.
My first challenging games were the board games that simulated combined arms conflict.
Pages of rules to master, deciphering the meta-puzzle, that spurred my Dad to ask if i might be more inclined to a career in leveraging law or perhaps the codes of real estate.
Not in this life cycle.
My first real computer game immersion,
not the stoned wonder - experience of the moment - of the visually drugged Nex Gen,
my first hard focus at game systems that journeyed through a story were on the C-64's ''Mars Saga'', AND "'WASTELAND"".
So yes, the tactical puzzle, of combined arms conflict was part of the whole.
Not an endless grind for stats and loot, not the direction to ''Oblivion', or "Lord Garriott's' nex' MMO.
I thought the 'Buck Rogers' series were the best of the Gold Box.
Not surprised that the author diss's 'Buck Rogers' in his RPG world view.
To that mind set, only Tolkien fantasy's that feature elfin tits and ass can be RPG's.
A hypocritical, church-y moralizing in that packaging.
Sex can't be content unless it is turned into a freak show, or a whore show. Real life consequences, VD, social disfunction, and Babies, are still too adult to be in the mix.
It is funny that all this ''Garriott' got MMO spiel about moral choices still needs a sugar coat of elfin or heroic babe eye candy to compete in the commercial marketing that this web page represents.
Teat moulded metallic armor verses Dell flash ads .... Thanks for sharing.
This article's eye candy jpg's have trouble competing with the flash ads. The flash ads could be the real message.
Hidden in the surface con-text are subliminal hooks.
Flash attracts eye balls, porn attracts eye balls...
Manipulation as miss direction, miss representation, Miss Florida ... now that I got yo' attention. I got a line of Future Florida real estate ready for yo' inhalation... we'll go see it's fine white crystal-fixation, when all the thongs are sunning ... we'll go see the property ... at low tide ...
If Porn dominates the media message, consciously and unconsciously, is it to become the only content in the ''media massage''?
