PC Gaming 25:17. The path of the righteous player is beset on all sides by the bottleneck of the cpu and the inefficiency of the gpu.

"I've seen game engines you people wouldn't believe. Cold stone turned into crystal, frost bite, to build an infinity odyssey of real virtuality. Gold turned into iron to render a vision a source of cry because of riot and rage. I watched hero's flare explode from unity dark nebula into the unreal luminous of the creation. All those engines made me feel alive ... like I was in game ... Time to play (again)"

"If animals could speak the dog would be a blundering outspoken fellow, but the cat would have the rare grace of never saying a word too much." - Mark Twain

I'm not aware of too many things,
I know what I know if you know what I mean.
Philosophy is the talk on a cereal box.
Religion is the smile on a dog.
(What I Am, Edie Brickell & New Bohemians, 1988)
