eXistenZ


One example of a limitation of virtual reality is when Ted, first gets plugged into eXistenZ and tries to interact with the other characters  he gives a reply that doesn't go with the game and the character starts repeating the scene like it never happened before and waits for an appropriate response. I feel that the virtual world can help a person realize that in the virtual world they can do things that they normally wouldn't do in the real world, in the virtual world you can create an alter ego, and you can do many things that you normally wouldn't do. Like on the xbox, you can create an xbox live account and create an avatar that you feel represents you. In video games, you take lives of killers, spies, and even sports stars and do things you couldn't even dream about doing in the real world. Some people also feel better when they compete against another person in the virtual world, like now Sony and Microsoft have game consoles where you can compete with anyone in the world who has that game and console, a lot of people play online whether it is competitive shooting games or competitive sports games.
