virtual reality.....

the other day i was watching some series on telly, where online rolepalying gaming crosses the thin line dividing itself with the real world and triggers a real world homicide.

as if this was not enough, today i read that sony online entertainment's new game everquest2 has capabilites of ordering pizza while you are in the game. the idea is to bring online gaming and real world closer to each other. you can be playing the game (it doesnt pause) and when you are in a safe place, just bring up the command console and type in /pizza and you are connected to pizza hut's web site where you can order your pizza !

sony online entertainment also had features like in-game email systems, where in you can email your online gamer friends from the game!
