How about running a Matrix game?

<< < (2/2)

Brian:
I suppose there's no reason we can't run a game of The Matrix from inside The Matrix.

Which brings up another interesting question -- theoretically, wouldn't it be possible for virtual computers to take over inside the real Matrix and virtually enslave the virtual human race? And, given enough processing power, couldn't those virtual computers construct a virtual Matrix to virtually create a virtual world as a diversion?

And couldn't the whole process continually repeat itself, until the real Matrix crashed from excessive processing load? Now that's what I'd do, if I were Neo..

But yes, a storytelling/diceless game of the Matrix sounds cool -- although I agree with SE that it would be tough to treat a "one-shot" forum game as one-shot, since even those short games would probably last several weeks or months on a forum.
