Wow. Creepy.
Sounds great. Would you talk in writing too each other, or your own voice, or
what?
Could you just do anything? How? I don't mean to sound over-technical, I know
you just imagined this, but wouldn't the Makers of the game have to foresee
any action you could think of, in order to make it happen?
I think this would work great in some virtual-reality type'o'thing, where you
move in real life and the game version of you moves too.
What would happen if you want to suddenly leave the game - what would your
beloved spouse do? ;-)
