Quotable Quote

"Everybody knows that video games make you a nerd who sits in your mom's basement eating pizza and avoiding all contact with girls.  Right?  No. Not right.  When we play games at our home, we play them together.  The thing that makes me a nerd, that makes me eat pizza and avoid all thought of girls and love and life and family isn't games, it's work.  Everybody may know that work is good and games are bad.  But everybody can be wrong. too."

-- Edward Castronova, "Exodus to the Virtual World, How Online Fun Is Changing Reality" (book release November 27).

I'm too engrossed in this book to write more just now.

Quotable Quote

"All you could do on MySpace is leave comments and emails. This is the virtual world. You can walk, talk, play games, meet people instead of searching for them. Like any other community, you have cliques, people you trust, people you dislike. It’s pretty much the same as real life, I would say."
